Microsoft files another anti-bacterial UV tech patent for touchscreens

It should be common knowledge that not all germs are bad for you, but the paranoia?strengthened by anti-bacterial propaganda of many companies?and fear of our micro-friends will continue even if there are studies to prove otherwise.? Anti-bacterial hand wash and sanitizer have become prevalent in many households, and that same concept is making their way to handheld technologies--albeit, a bit more sophisticated.

Microsoft has put in another patent that will deploy the use of UV tech to eradicate harmful bacteria (possibly normal flora, as well) on their mobile gadgets.? The patent submitted by Microsoft basically covers the use UV light to disinfect people?s fingertips if they come in contact with a touchscreen.? Basically, the UV light bounces through a film on or inside the screen, thereby, zapping micro-sized critters without directly blasting every parts of the user.? Keep in mind that Microsoft has been pursuing the anti-bacterial UV tech for quite some time now, and this latest submission is just an improvement on previous proposed methods.

It?s unknown when Microsoft will integrate this method of bacterial annihilation into their lineup of gadgets, but rest assured you don?t have to wait because some hand sanitizer, Windex and toilet papers will do the job just as well.

How long before a ?do not share your tablet with others? lingo becomes the norm just like ?don?t ever share your toothbrush??

Cash boost for London-wide charity schemes

Some of the money will go towards projects for older Londoners

Luke Jacobs Thursday, February 21, 2013
4:49 PM

Voluntary projects which help some of London?s most vulnerable communities have been given extra financial support.

To send a link to this page to a friend, you must be logged in.

Age Concern UK and the Refugee Council are among 34 to have received grants for various projects from London Councils to last the next two years.

The total ?9.4million budget for 2013/2014 will be shared between eight schemes tackling homelessness, 20 initiatives supporting victims of sexual and domestic violence and poverty, and six to support voluntary organisations.

Fazil Kawani, director of integration at the Refugee Council said the ?124,684 they will receive over the next two years will go to 450 organisations over the next two years.

He said: ?We?re delighted to have received this funding from London Councils that will greatly benefit refugees and asylum seekers in the city.

?We will work directly with 100 organisations to ensure they can fundraise and build useful services for their clients.

?These organisations are crucial for supporting refugees in their communities, and provide an essential bridge to mainstream services, so it is fantastic that we can provide them with more support at this time.?

Other charities to receive a grant include Shelter, Women in Prison, London Voluntary Service Council, Solace Women?s Aid and St Mungo Community Housing Association.

Samantha Mauger, chief executive of Age UK London, said their ?310,000 will go towards support work with 350 older peoples organisations across London.

?This will include one to one organisational work, practical support workshops, including social media support, and funding workshops,? she said.

?A knowledge hub will provide information, spread best practice, support user consultation and provide equality and benchmarking tools to demonstrate impact.?

The 33 London boroughs contribute to the grants programme which has been run on their behalf by London Councils, for the last 26 years.

Cllr Paul McGlone, chairman of the London Councils? Grants Committee, said: ?We want the money to go where it can make a real difference for Londoners who are most in need of support.

?The services which are being funded most closely match the four priorities and principles which were decided following public consultation.

?These are to prevent homelessness, support people at risk of sexual and domestic violence, help Londoners get into work, and assist community organisations.

?There is a much smaller budget for the grants programme this year but we want what funding is available to go as far as possible across London.?

Oh, the Mets - baseball is back! With fresh, young players on the ...

[Each Wednesday, we'll be bringing you sports news and views by new contributor Mitchell Petit-Frere - welcome, Mitchell! -Ed]

Image source: Zack Wheeler Facebook page

The first official pitch of the Mets? 2013 season won?t be thrown until April 1,?but preparations for the 162-game season began February 11 when pitchers and?catchers reported to Port St. Lucie, Florida for spring training.

After four consecutive seasons of fourth place finishes in the NL East, the Mets?are hoping to erase memories of nearly half a decade of irrelevance into a season?that transforms Citi Field from a ballpark of lost hope into a theater of youthful?exuberance. Following two seasons of cleaning house and bidding adieu to high-caliber players?with even higher paychecks, the Mets are counting on youth to push them towards a?playoff run come fall.

Long gone are the days of lineups doing their best interpretations of that other team?from the Bronx, and pitching rotations that stacked up more debt than wins. Carlos Beltran is plying his trade in St. Louis, Jose Reyes is with his second team?in as many years, Jason Bay made a trek to the west coast to join Seattle, and R.A.?Dickey, CY Young and all, was traded to Toronto this past winter.

It?s the likes of right-handed pitcher, Zack Wheeler, and catcher, Travis d?Arnaud?who hold some of the Mets greatest hopes for future success. Wheeler is the No. 8 prospect according to MLB.com?s Top 100 Prospects while?d?Arnaud is rated No. 6.

How fitting it is, then, that Wheeler was obtained after the Beltran trade during the?summer of 2011 and d?Arnaud found his way to Queens as part of the Dickey trade?package in December. Wheeler and d?Arnaud aren?t projected to make their big league debuts until around?Memorial Day, but the fact that the Mets are trading old talent for new is a positive?sign for the Citi Field faithful.

You can catch the Mets first spring training game this Saturday, Feb. 23, when they?take on the Washington Nationals.

Sony reveals PlayStation 4, fires first shot in the next console war

Featured

Winda Benedetti , NBC News ? ? ? 18 hrs.

After months of rumor and speculation, Sony has revealed its new game machine ? the PlayStation 4 ? as well as a new controller with a touchpad, a "share" button and light bar.

"Today marks a moment of truth and a bold step forward for PlayStation as a company," said Andrew House, president and Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, as he took the stage at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on Wednesday. "Today we will give you a glimpse into the future of play."

House told a room packed full of journalists that the new machine ? the successor to the PlayStation 3 ? would take the moniker PlayStation 4. Sony then revealed the new touch-sensing DualShock controller as well as a new "stereo camera" that works in conjunction with the controller (see video below.)

Sony said the PlayStation 4 will launch "holiday 2013" but did not reveal a specific date or a price. Sony also did not show off what its new gaming hardware will look like, revealing only the controller and pictures of the new camera.

Mark Cerny, the PS4's lead system architect, did outline some of the innards that will be powering the machine explaining, ?The architecture we chose is like a PC in many ways.?

The PlayStation 4 will feature an X86-64 AMD Jaguar CPU with 8 cores, an AMD Radeon GPU and 8 gigabytes of unified system memory. Like the PS3, it will also feature a Blu-ray drive. (For more on the specs, check out our story here.)

David Perry ? CEO and founder of Gaikai ? also took the stage Wednesday. Sony bought his game streaming company last year. He explained that integration of the streaming service with the PlayStation Store will allow gamers to instantly try games before they buy them.

Meanwhile, Perry said that with the "share" button on the new PS4 controller players will be able to live broadcast their gameplay to their PlayStation Network friends.

He said friends will not only be able to watch your game in action, but can post comments to your screen as you play (if you let them). You'll also be able to allow friends to take over your game so they can, say, assist you in a difficult area or interact with your game in other helpful ways.

"What we?re creating is the fastest, most powerful network for gaming in the world," Perry said. "Our vision is to create the first social gaming network with meaning."

Perry also revealed Remote Play ? a feature that will allow gamers to take their PS4 action to Sony's smaller game screen. That is, if you're in the middle of playing a game on your PS4, you can use Remote Play to instantly transfer your game to Sony's handheld PS Vita.

Perry said the ultimate goal is to make it so all PS4 games will be playable on the Vita.

PlayStation 4 games unveiled
So what games will be coming to the PlayStation 4? Bungie ? the creator of the Xbox-exclusive Halo game franchise ? revealed it will be bringing its newly revealed project "Destiny" to the PlayStation 4 (with an edition also for the PlayStation 3).

(For an in-depth look at the PlayStation 4 games, read our story here.)

Hermen Hulst, co-founder of Guerrilla Games, introduced "Killzone: Shadow Fall" a stunning looking futuristic shooter. And Matt Southern from Evolution Studios showed off the ultra-realistic "Driveclub" racing game.

"We?ve gone borderline insane with the real-world details," Southern said, pointing out the ultra-fine detail that can be seen on the cars in the game.

Meanwhile, Sucker Punch's Nate Fox revealed the new game from the studio that brought us the "InFamous" series. He said "InFamous: Second Son" ? a game about what happens when super powers and the power of surveillance collide ? will be a PlayStation 4 exclusive.

Respected indie developer Jonathan Blow ? the creator of the critically acclaimed game "Braid" ? showed off his next game "The Witness." He said the puzzle-filled title will be a PlayStation 4 "launch window" game.

Ubisoft's Yves Guillemot revealed what everyone expected ? that the developer's highly anticipated game of surveillance and hacking called "Watch Dogs" is planned for the next-gen PlayStation 4.

In something of a surprise, PC gaming stalwart Blizzard revealed that it'll be bringing "Diablo 3" to both the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 3.

And it appears that Sony won?t be saying goodbye to its oft-ignored PlayStation Move motion controller. Media Molecule ? the developers behind the ?LittleBigPlanet? games ? showed off a tool that enables players to use the Move controller and the PS4 to craft digital sculptures and bring them to life.

The battle ahead
Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo have been duking it out for years, vying to be the prime purveyor of home video games and, in recent years, other home entertainment as well. But Sony's news today is the opening shot in an all new console war.

It's been six years since Sony launched the PlayStation 3 and seven years since Microsoft launched its competing Xbox 360. Late last year, Nintendo revealed the Wii U ? its new home game machine and the successor to the Wii. But so far, the Wii U's lackluster sales and technical specs that make it seem more on par with the current generation Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, suggest this machine is more of an interim step in the three-way gaming battle.

With Microsoft rumored to be working on its own new home game console (which it will reportedly unveil in the coming weeks), it is Sony and Microsoft that are widely expected to go head-to-head in the coming years, vying for the same demographic and to become the all-important entertainment hub in your household.

For a further look at Sony's event Wednesday, check out the videos belowand InGame editor Todd Kenreck's first lookat the PlayStation 4:

Olympic Runner Oscar Pistorius Begins Girlfriend's Murder Trial in South Africa

GWEN IFILL: We return now to South Africa, where double amputee Olympian Oscar Pistorius appeared in court today, and the family of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp gathered for her funeral.

We have this report narrated by Keme Nzerem of Independent Television News.

KEME NZEREM: His father, and as he listened to the charges against him that he shot his girlfriend dead in an act of premeditated murder, he sobbed.

Exactly what happened in his high-security gated home late on the night of St. Valentine last week? Did Oscar Pistorius kill his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp? Yes, his lawyer would concede. But he argued it was mistake. The explanation came by way of a prepared statement read to the court by his lawyer.

Pistorius claims the couple were deeply in love and went to sleep shortly after 10:00. He woke later to retrieve a fan from the balcony and heard what he thought was an intruder in the bathroom. The world's most famous disabled athlete walking around in the dead of night only on his stumps, it made him, he said, feel vulnerable. Allegedly, he had this gun by his bed.

In the dark, he picked it up and then this: "I felt a sense of terror rushing over me. Although I did not have my prosthetic legs on, I have mobility on my stumps. I fired shots at the toilet door and shouted to Reeva to call the police."

Only then, claims Pistorius, did it dawn on him that Reeva was no longer next to him in bed and the noise that had spooked him from the bathroom was her. He says he then put on his prosthetic legs, bashed down the door with a cricket bat to find her breathing her last.

"Reeva was slumped over, but alive. She died in my arms. I am absolutely mortified by the events and the devastating loss of my beloved Reeva."

Reeva Steenkamp, cremated this afternoon in a ceremony open only to close family and friends. It was desperately sad.

MAN: But we are here today as a family? (INAUDIBLE) Reeva.

MAN: It's OK.

MAN: We have got to get (INAUDIBLE)

KEME NZEREM: How on Earth to put into words the loss of a daughter, a niece, or a sister?

And the prosecution team boiling the case down to this. The couple, they claim, had an argument. For some reason Pistorius put on his legs, walked to the bathroom and shot through the door. Whether he thought it was actually his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, or indeed a burglar.

GERRIE NEL, Prosecutor: If I arm myself, walk a distance and murder a person, that is premeditated. The door is closed. There is no doubt. I walk seven meters and I kill. The motive is, I want to kill. That's it.

KEME NZEREM: The next stage of his bail hearing is tomorrow, but Pistorius was returned to the cells tonight knowing he may never taste freedom again.?

Carnegie Melon workshop to encourage youth to pursue field of IT

Doha, Qatar ? Computers are everywhere ? in cars, planes, phones, and even on space shuttles.

Behind these computers are computer scientists, who explore the design and innovation of computing and what computers can do.

Since technology and technologically-related industries are the main drivers of growth in a knowledge-based economy, establishing an expert talent bench of computer scientist practitioners is necessary for Qatar to compete in the 21st century marketplace.

Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar?s outreach and expertise in this field is a key element in encouraging Qatar?s youth to not only enter this field and embrace Qatar?s National Vision 2030, but also to be a part of the field?s exciting creations.

As part of this outreach, Carnegie Mellon held its sixth annual CS4Qatar workshop for high school students on Saturday, aiming to inspire Qatar?s youth to become creators of innovations that will change the world.

?Before I joined Carnegie Mellon, I came to CS4Qatar and it was one of the reasons that I applied to the computer science major here. The event is really useful, as these are the basics that you learn when you first come to CMU-Q,? said Saira Batool, a computer science undergraduate.

Ninety high school students from 22 schools around the country participated.

The workshop aims to debase many of the misconceptions surrounding the practice of computer science by exposing students to the basics of technology through both programming and robotics.

As part of the workshop, students were briefed on how robots can be used in fun and exciting ways by Takeo Kanade, a professor of computer science and robotics at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, and one of the world?s foremost researchers in computer vision.

?CS4Qatar enables participants to come to Carnegie Mellon and get a chance to interact with our faculty and students using cutting edge technology. They are able to see the amazing things that are done in computer science and how Carnegie Mellon is at the forefront of technology and innovation,? said Damian Dourado, manager for pre-college programs and director of community outreach.

CS4Qatar is a series of computer science workshops for secondary school students and their teachers. The programs are developed by the computer science faculty at Carnegie Mellon and are designed for students in Qatar who want to broaden their horizons in the ever-expanding and broad-reaching field of computer science.

The Company is committed to fully disclosing our policies regarding the collection, use, maintenance, disclosure and security of personal information obtained from users of our site. The term "personal information" includes a name, address, email address, or any other information which could be used to contact you directly or to identify you personally.

Use and Disclosure Limitations

The Company only uses personal information about its Web site users for specific purposes. We do not share user information with third parties except when we have told users about the disclosures, when we have prior consent, or when required by law.

Use Policy: When the Company gathers personal information from users, we ask for permission first. We also disclose, at the time of collection, how the information will be used by us. Personal information is used for activities such as auto-completion of commonly-used forms and helping us contact you when you solicit information from us.

Disclosure Policy: We do not normally disclose personal information to anyone outside of the Company unless we have previously informed users about the disclosures. However, some data may be used from time to time by outside contractors, including auditors or consultants, to assist us in carrying out necessary financial or operational activities. These uses will be consistent with this privacy policy and all contractors using this potential personal information must agree to safeguard it, to use it only for the authorized purpose, and to return it or destroy it upon completion of the activity.

The Company might be required to disclose personal information in response to a valid legal process such as a subpoena, search warrant or court order.

Although unlikely, it is possible that we may have to make certain disclosures to ensure the security of our Web site, to protect its integrity, or to take precautions against potential liability. In any of these situations, we will take any reasonable steps to limit the scope of the data disclosed.

Web Logs: The Company maintains standard Web logs that record basic information about visitors to our Web site. These logs contain: * The Internet domain from which you came to our Web site. * Your IP address. An IP address is a series of numbers which uniquely identifies your connection to the Internet. Although it is possible in some instances, certain types of IP addresses may be used by interested persons to identify users but we do not attempt to identify users in this way. * The type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and operating system (e.g., Windows 98) you use. * The date and time you visited the site, and the pages you saw.

We use Web log information to design our Web site, identify popular features, and in similar ways. We do not try to identify individuals from Web logs or to link Web logs to other user information. However, if someone tries to damage our Web site or use it in an unauthorized or illegal way, we may share Web log information with law enforcement agencies. The Company may provide aggregate information such as the number of users who visit particular pages of the site, or the number of people who link to certain external sites from our site, to other parties.

Changes to Privacy Policy

The Company's features and services will change over time and our information-gathering practices and policies may also change.

While our philosophy of protecting user information from inappropriate uses and disclosures will not change, this policy will be updated occasionally to include any change that materially affects the collection, maintenance, use, or disclosure of personal information.
