New Sirius XM CEO considering infotainment, in-car safety offerings
Author: Tech Blogger
Satellite-based streaming is a successful enough enterprise for the time being, but even the most naive of executives must know that the momentum isn’t sure to last. In-car LTE and cheap web-based solutions provide access to millions of tracks on demand, making other options less relevant. Doom and gloom aside, there’s still an opportunity to remain afloat, and Sirius XM’s new CEO, Jim Meyer, has a plan to diversify his company’s portfolio of products.
The music would continue to flow, but OnStar-like options would become available as well, according to a Reuters interview with Meyer. Other services, such as weather, realtime gas prices, roadside assistance and stolen car tracking could be implemented with the company’s existing satellite infrastructure, and might be offered on a subscription basis down the line. “This is going to take a while,” according to the new chief executive, who said that the new products might be implemented in certain 2017 and 2018 vehicles, but likely not sooner. Sadly, he’s not talking details just yet, but there may be more to share before the end of next year.

Outlook.com preview: Microsoft reinvents its on-line e-mail offerings
Author: Markus Smith
Possibly you heard, however Microsoft introduced a brand-new email service today. No, not Hotmail– a completely new, built-from-scratch service. This is Outlook.com, and for the time being, at the very least, it will exist separately from Hotmail. So why didn’t Redmond merely give Hotmail a drastic overhaul? Well, buddies, there are 2 explanations. Initially, the respectful one: for technical explanations, the engineers located it much easier to build a new service from scratch instead of retrofit the old one. The honest answer: Microsoft is acutely conscious Hotmail has a bad rap, thanks to those banners and fancy video ads. In fact, the business has actually been really candid that it prefers not merely to contend with Gmail, but siphon away a couple of its growing individual base. As such, Outlook delivers a fresh, low interface– far cleaner than Hotmail ever before looked. What’s more, the advertisements are more pared-down here: no video adverts, and no targeted advertisements on messages between individuals (newsletters are still fair game).
The service is open to the general public as of today and you get basically unrestricted storage, along with 7GB of SkyDrive area if you create a brand-new Microsoft account. (Microsoft utilizes the word “virtually” to hedge itself against spammers who could otherwise utilize limitless storage space to game the system.) And you should take our word when we state it’s worth offering the service a shot: we have actually been testing it for practically 2 weeks. Go get yourself located and then fulfill us after the break for details, impressions and tons more screenshots.
Note: several of our screenshots say “NewMail” instead of “Outlook.com” in the upper left corner. NewMail is a codename Microsoft made use of prior to announcing the service to the public.

Nintendo’s gunning for retailers, expanding eShop offerings for Wii U, 3DS
Author: Gabe Hall
Nintendo is going to sell its 3DS and Wii U games through the eShop as well as on the high street. Concerned about the money wasted in “inventory,” the company will let consumers choose where they get their fix from. The first two games to get the treatment will be New Super Mario Bros 2 and Onitore Brain Training (working title) for the handheld, with more expected in the future. As consumers transition to downloads, the company will keep its brick-and-mortar partners on-side by allowing them to sell “activation codes” to the digital titles — although that does mean you’ll have to drive down to Gamestop and back.

MetroPCS expands LTE offerings with Samsung Galaxy Attain 4G, LG Connect 4G
Author: Jon Daniels
Two new Android handsets will soon be destined for MetroPCS, as the company has today announced plans to offer both the Samsung Galaxy Attain 4G and LG Connect 4G. Together they serve as the latest LTE-enabled additions to the carrier’s lineup. Samsung’s Galaxy Attain carries a 3.5-inch display and is powered by a 1GHz processor. Both front and rear cameras are on board the Gingerbread phone, at resolutions of 1.3 and 3 megapixels, respectively. MetroPCS users on the $ 50 / $ 60 service plans will have exclusive dibs on the device, which will be priced at $ 200 for a limited time.
At first glance, LG’s Connect 4G fares a bit better in the spec category with its 4-inch Gorilla Glass display, dual-core 1.2GHz processor, and five-megapixel…

Seagate Streamlines Hard Drive Offerings With 1TB Per Disk Technology
Author:
Just a couple months after selling its 1 millionth hybrid hard drive, Seagate has some fresh news to announce, including the death of its Barracuda green drive and the announcement of its new enhanced Seagate desktop drives. The Barracuda, Seagate’s flagship, has been revamped to offer performance of 7200 RPM for every capacity — from 250GB up to 3TB.
Using 40mm fabrication technology, the dual-core Seagate Barracuda drive is now 45 percent faster. Thanks to AccuTrack technology, the drive boosts capacity, speed and performance by offering track density of 340,000 TPI.
Meanwhile, the Barracuda XT hard drive will be migrating over to solid state hybrid technology, which basically offers the best of both worlds. You can enjoy hard drive capacity points at solid state speeds, all at a less expensive cost per GB. The Barracuda and Barracuda XT will now round out Seagate’s hard drive offerings, in an attempt to make the buying process that much easier for customers.
According to the company, the electricity savings from reduced RPM in Barracuda Green were totaling around 20 cents per year. When measured against productivity during the extra hours a faster and more efficient hard drive yields, it seemed like an easy decision. However, Seagate maintains that it’s still environmentally friendly as far as manufacturing goes.
The Barracuda drives will be available by the middle of November, with MSRPs starting at $ 71.99 for 1TB.
Seagate is the world leader in hard disk drives and storage devices for enterprise, desktop, mobile computing, consumer electronics, and external/networking storage solutions markets. Seagate products span the storage application landscape, including data centers, mainframes, workstations, desktop and notebook PCs, netbooks, digital video recorders, gaming consoles, home entertainment devices, external backup and networked storage. The company markets storage devices and products under the following brands: Cheetah®, Savvio®, Constellation®, Barracuda®, DiamondMax®, Momentus®, MobileMax™, Pipeline HD™, FreeAgent™, BlackArmor®.

DNA 11 Labs Diversifies Its DNA-Based Art Offerings, Adds Crowdsourcing For New Ideas
Author: Janet Odell
We posted about DNA 11′s DNA-based art way back in 2008 — basically, you send in a DNA sample, they perform an electrophoretic analysis, and then print a picture of the resulting gel on a nice little bit of canvas or in a glass frame. But between the big prints and the little prints, there hasn’t been much selection when it comes to ways your DNA can be… expressed, if you will.
They’re revamping their website today with a new section, DNA 11 Labs, that has a few new types of art you can choose from and they’re adding a design submission piece as well. The fingerprint bowl is actually pretty cool, though the print could do with a little less contrast.
The other part of the announcement has to do with a crowdsourcing aspect: new designs can be submitted (e.g. a coffee mug with the gel image wrapped around it) and voted on by users. The ones that receive the most votes will be made available in limited quantity. I’m not sure they’re going to have quite the level of competition that would make this kind of system necessary — and the submission page is just text fields. Why not provide some dummy images (gel, retina, thumbprint) and let people submit images as well?
At any rate, the DNA thing is still about as compelling as it was, which is to say, kind of compelling. Not a bad idea for a gift or conversation piece — but I’m not really feeling the $ 10,000 DNA Water wall.
Have a gene lab tech in your life? Show them you care. Although seeing this when they wake up every morning might remind them of their daily drudgery as much as the uniqueness and value of every human life. It’s a gamble!

Sanyo expands Eneloop battery offerings with Pro for more power, Plus for less heat
Author: Trixi Anderson
If you love Sanyo’s ever-so-practical Eneloop rechargeable batteries, you’ll be smitten with its two latest AA additions. First into the battery compartment is the 2400mAh Eneloop Pro; it’s loaded with twenty-five percent more juice than the standard model, and is a perfect match for your power-draining Nikon Speedlight — not quite as formidable as the 2,500mAh XX series, though. Moving onto the next slot is the Eneloop Plus, which adds a positive temperature coefficient thermistor — a resistor that prevents the batts from reaching skin-scorching heat levels in kids’ toys. Blazing Hello Kitty anyone? Both will come in packs of two or four, and also as bundles with a charger. Residents of Japan will be able to pick up the batteries at varying points this year, but aside from the ¥1,260 (about $ 15) Pro two-pack, pricing remains open. If your heart’s beating like the pink bunny’s drum, check out the source link below for the details and some fancy infographics.

Borders Looking Bleak Despite Ereader Offerings
Author: Tristan Richards
Book chain Borders sales are looking bleak and the company is apparently not paying publishers. The company is down two-fold over last year and, although some talks point to a potential Barnes & Noble merger, nothing has been finalized.
Sadly, Borders came late to the ereader party and is currently suffering for it. With Nooks and Kindles flying off the shelves, the Kobo is losing ground quickly. Here’s hoping something restructures them enough to survive the next year.
