MessageMe chat app amasses 5 million users in 75 days across Android and iOS
Author:
Between WhatsApp, Viber, Google+ Hangouts and a raft of others, the mobile messaging app space is crowded, but recent entrant MessageMe has still managed to make notable headway. After a mere 75 days since its launch, the application has amassed 5 million registered users, up from 1 million in its first ten days. Now, the software is churning out an average of 1,500 notifications per second and handling approximately eight image uploads each second.
For the uninitiated, the app is attempting to woo chatty folks on Android and iOS away from its rivals with the ability to send pictures, doodles, videos, audio, music and location information between two people or a group of friends. Sticker- and money-sending features are poised to bring home the bacon for the firm, but CEO and co-founder Arjun Sethi recently told The Next Web that it doesn’t plan to activate them just yet, as it’s focusing on attracting more users first. If you’re itching for another outlet to dispatch notes to pals, hit the bordering more coverage links to grab MessageMe.

US Navy drone flies two days straight using liquid hydrogen tank
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
As the US military discovers just how useful drones can be, it’s eager to keep them flying as long as can be, and the US Office of Naval Research now has a drone that can fly for two whole days. The Ion Tiger, an experimental surveillance plane that uses a hydrogen fuel cell as its power source, flew for a record 26 hours using pressurized hydrogen back in 2009, but late last month it managed a full 48 hours and one minute thanks to a new cryogenic storage tank filled with liquid hydrogen. That’s not the only way to keep lightweight aircraft flying for lengthy periods, as laser beams and solar panels have recently shown, but the hydrogen could allow planes to fly further afield and at more flexible hours of the day than the other…

PayPal’s chief information security officer says passwords’ days are numbered
Author: Angela Stephens
Recently speaking at the Interop IT conference, PayPal’s chief information security officer, Michael Barrett, stated that passwords and PINs were operating on borrowed time. Barrett hopes to replace online security keys with a setup that’s a blend of software and hardware-based identification. He also serves as president of the Fast Identity Online Alliance (FIDO) — the organization’s focus is to combine an effective mix of software (passwords and plugins) and hardware (USB drives and fingerprint scanners) for user authentication.
PayPal’s technology boss didn’t allude to his company adopting these new types of security systems for its customers anytime soon. Instead he announced that FIDO-enabled devices will be hitting the market sometime this year. Progress, yes, but until this hardware becomes more widely available, it’s likely that you’ll be spending more time getting acquainted with two-step logins.

First ‘express’ flight to the International Space Station cuts travel time from two days to six hours
Author: Alexander McQueen
Usually, trips from the earth to the International Area Station take about two days– however today, the first manned “specific” air travel to the ISS removed and anticipates to make the journey in only 6 hours. The air travel, manned by one NASA astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts, removed today at 4:43 PM EDT from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan; it’s anticipated to dock by 12:10 AM EDT tonight. While this is the first manned flight to make this specific flight (where the Soyuz spacecraft makes 4 orbits of the earth prior to reaching the ISS), a variety of unmanned cargo air travels have currently made the fast journey. When the Soyuz spacecraft arrives, the 3 astronauts will stay at the ISS for the next six months. If you’re interested …

Curiosity rover to stay in ‘safe mode’ for days while NASA tackles glitches
Author: Brandon Zimmerman
NASA’s Interest rover has mostly had smooth sailing since it touched down on Mars last year. Regrettably, it’s in a more precarious position as of this past Thursday. After observing corrupted memory files on the robotic’s primary computer, overseers have kicked Curiosity into a “safe mode” with a backup computer system while they identify what’s wrong and deliver any practical fixes. Do not consider this like you would the Safe Mode on a Windows PC, however. While the backup could work as a replacement for the main pc, job manager Richard Cook alerts Space.com that it will likely take “several days” to supply adequate info that the failsafe can take over. NASA will switch back to the major pc if and when it prepares; if it is, the firm intends to solidify the code against future imperfections. Curiosity will successfully remain on ice in the meantime … and not the range it might desire to find.

MAGFest remembers game music’s glory days as ‘Journey’ goes for Grammy gold
Author:
With a game soundtrack going up against the works of orchestral juggernauts like John Williams and Hans Zimmer for the first time at tonight’s Grammy Awards, 2013 is looking to be a promising year for video game music. Though for the true believers, events like MAGFest — a video game music festival just outside of Washington, D.C. — seem to grow almost exponentially each year, mainstream approval or no.
Celebrating its 11th year last month, MAGFest is a strange beast of video game-related revelry. To the untrained eye it has all the trappings of your typical “Con”: the cosplay, the panels, the crowds of nerds cramming into elevators. But if anything, MAGFest more closely resembles a kind of debauched ritual; a communal 72 hour…

White BlackBerry Z10 Caught On Film Days Before Its Official Unveiling
Author: Alexander McQueen
After months of stoking anticipation and dealing with unfavorable judgment, RIM will finally reveal BlackBerry 10 to the globe on Wednesday. It ’ s got to be a heady minute for everybody included — this is the business ’ s huge shot at redemption and relevance — however till then the rest of us will simply have to make do with an additional batch of dripped BB10 hardware images.
The topic this time around however is the white Z10, an oft-rumored version of the device that ’ s turned up in rumor posts and renders (consisting of one that appeared as part of a dripped Verizon Wireless promotion page) but usually not out in the wild. Long time readers could know that I ’ m a little a sucker for a white phone, however the black bezel that runs around the white Z10 ′ s 4.2-inch show is a neat little touch that makes things appearance aesthetically unique — certainly not a bad thing now that RIM preparing to wade once again into the middle of a heated smartphone dispute.
Normally, the rest of the technical particulars are still under lock and crucial today, however that hasn ’ t stopped leakers and rumormongers from distributing a tentative specification sheet in current days. Needs to it be true, the Z10 will include 2GB RAM, 16GB of interior storage, and 1800 mAh battery, and an 8-megapixel rear camera. BGR states that the Z10 will make its retail launching with a sub – $ 199 price too, with editor Jonathan Geller pointing to a $ 150 rate point as an unique possibility.
Wednesday ’ s occasion will be the first time that the world at large could improve familiarized with BlackBerry 10 and the hardware that runs it, however it certainly gained ’ t be the last. RIM has sunk an undisclosed amount of money into a 30-second spot due to run during the Super Bowl this Sunday, so it ’ s clear that RIM is gunning to make a real splash in the market over the weeks and months to come.

RIM will be facing an uphill battle when it does eventually launch BlackBerry 10, but the company is making sure it’ll have a healthy selection of apps from the get-go by incentivizing developers. RIM recently hosted two Port-a-Thon events to encourage developers to submit their games and general apps for BlackBerry 10, offering $ 100 for any app approved to the store. Naturally, the promise of cash seems to have worked: 15,000 apps were submitted over the course of 37.5 hours.
Money wasn’t the only incentive, though, as BlackBerry hardware was also on offer. The first developers submitting between two and five approved apps were promised a free PlayBook, while those writing more than five approved apps were entered into a random…
