A new 256GB version of Microsoft’s Surface Pro tablet has been revealed, with the larger-capacity Windows 8 slate showing up in Japan. The new variant – which has not yet been added to Microsoft’s US listing for the 10.6-inch tablet – is otherwise identical to the 128GB Surface Pro we reviewed back in February, and will go on sale in Japan alongside the smaller-storage model next month.
According to the Japanese listing, of the 256GB of solid-state storage inside the tablet, around 208GB is available to the user. The rest is occupied by recovery images and other system files. Still, that’s a fair step up from the 128GB Surface Pro, which offers just 89GB of free capacity.
Otherwise, there’s the familiar 1920 x 1080 touchscreen, Core i5 processor with Intel HD Graphics 4000, and 4GB of RAM, while connectivity includes WiFi a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0. Ports consist of a full-sized USB 3.0, microSDXC memory card slot, headphone socket, Mini DisplayPort, and a docking connector for the magnetically-attached keyboards.
Japanese buyers will pay a 20,000 yen premium for the boost in storage. The 128GB Surface Pro will go on sale in the country from June 8, priced at 99,800 yen ($987), while the 256GB Surface Pro will be 119,800 yen ($1,184).
Both versions of the full-Windows tablet will come with a copy of Office 2013 along with Microsoft’s digital stylus, which can be used for sketching and handwriting on the slate. As for the keyboard-covers, the Touch Cover will be 9,980 yen ($99) while the Type Cover, with its raised keys, will be 10,980 yen ($109).

On the “Body of Proof” finale, Dr. Megan Hunt finally learned the truth.
Dr. Hunt’s (Dana Delany) father didn’t commit suicide –he was murdered. Turns out, Angela Martin, the police chief, killed a woman for stealing her boyfriend 35 years ago and murdered Dr. Hunt’s dad as part of the cover-up.
“You destroyed my family!” Dr. Hunt said. “And I’ve spent the last 35 years trying to atone for that,” Martin shot back. But it was too late. “Screw you!” Dr. Hunt replied.

* Fox News phone records sought in North Korea leak probe
* Holder’s approval of phone subpoena not disclosed earlier (Adds Justice Department confirmation, quote)
By Mark Hosenball
WASHINGTON, May 28 (Reuters) – U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder personally approved a decision to subpoena Fox News telephone records as the Justice Department investigated an unauthorized leak regarding North Korea, officials said on Tuesday.
The Justice Department did not mention the subpoena when it issued a statement on Friday describing how Holder had vetted a decision to seek a search warrant for the contents of an email account used by Fox News reporter James Rosen.
The revelation that Holder approved subpoenas that sought Fox News phone records shows that his involvement was broader than the Justice Department had earlier acknowledged publicly, as details continue to emerge in the controversy.
Rosen reported in June 2009 that U.S. intelligence officials believed North Korea would conduct more nuclear tests in response to U.N. sanctions.
Stephen Kim, a former State Department analyst who was Rosen’s alleged source, is scheduled to go on trial as soon as next year on charges that he violated an anti-espionage law. Rosen has not been charged.
“In the investigation that led to the indictment of Stephen Kim, the government issued subpoenas, with approval from the attorney general as required by Justice Department guidelines, for toll records for five phone numbers associated with the media over a two-day period,” a Justice Department official said.
The Obama administration has also been under fire for a separate subpoena of Associated Press phone records as part of a different investigation of an alleged unauthorized leak.
Both incidents have sparked an outcry from journalists, but the Fox News case has proved more concerning to some because investigators described Rosen as a suspected “co-conspirator” in the leak of secret government information.
ACCUSED OF INTIMIDATION
Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes said in a statement on Thursday that the Obama administration was attempting to intimidate Fox News and its employees.
A law enforcement official said that subpoenas issued for Fox News covered telephone records for two days during 2009. The official said that a certified letter and fax notifying the general counsel of News Corp, parent of Fox News, about the subpoenas was sent on Aug. 27, 2010, the day Kim was indicted.
Authorities emailed Rosen at his work address with a similar notification, the official said. News Corp has said that it has found no record of such notifications, though it is not disputing government officials’ accounts.
Mark Corallo, a Justice Department spokesman between 2002 and 2005, said that during his tenure, any request from any part of the Justice Department for the issuing of subpoenas against a news organization had to be submitted to his office for approval.
Corallo said that of “dozens” of requests from prosecutors for subpoenas directed against news organizations, he approved only one during his tenure.
President Barack Obama said last week that Holder would begin a review of Justice Department procedures related to media records. Holder, speaking to reporters on Tuesday, said he hopes to meet this week with media organizations about the review.
“We’re going to have a real frank, good conversation about this,” Holder said. “And I think we’re going to make some changes. I’m not satisfied with where we are.” (Reporting By Mark Hosenball; Additional reporting by David Ingram; Editing by Karey Van Hall and Eric Beech)
