Line for iOS gains browser, themes and three more languages

Line is updating its iOS app with a trio of features designed to keep you nestled to the free messaging service for as long as it can. The biggest addition is an in-app browser, which negates the need to switch over to Safari (etc) when someone shares a link. Users will also discover German, Italian and Portuguese language support, not to mention a choice of themes — including a tasteful pink version that’ll sit well with your smartphone, game console and sports car.

US Supreme Court: Human Genetic Material Can't Be Patented

Big news from the east side of Capitol Hill: It’s not okay to patent genetic material taken from the human body. Or at least, it’s not okay in the eyes of the nation’s highest court. SCOTUS took on the controversial and somewhat futuristic case earlier this year, and with all the torrid discussion about updating all patent laws, everyone knew that this decision would be a landmark one.

Thor Prances for Our Amusement

Sometimes Thor does things that have others shaking their heads. Like his father, for instance. But other people’s approval or disapproval don’t really sway him from what he eventually chooses to do.

Like prance, for instance.

thor prancercise

Not that this is the real Thor, of course, because the closest thing you can come to a “real Thor” is Chris Hemsworth and I don’t think he’ll be prancing around in costume anytime soon.

The secrets of Thor’s workout routine is revealed by YouTuber EveryDayThor, who was clearly inspired by Joanna Rohrback’s epic Prancercise video. It’s pretty funny, so if you’re bored and looking for something to kill the next two minutes, then check the clip out below.

Sony PS4 revealed at E3 2013

It looks like the world of next generation gaming is about to take off pretty soon – at the end of this year actually, where the two behemoths of Sony and Microsoft have showed their respective hands at the recently concluded E3 2013 in Los Angeles, California. Microsoft has their Xbox One, while Sony’s latest release is a logical progression from where the PS3 left off, where the upcoming console would obviously continue with the PlayStation line, and they have dubbed it the PS4. The Sony PS4 would also be known as the CUH-1000A series, where it will initially arrive in a jet black color, and will be out later this holiday season. Folks living in the USA will be able to get one for $399, while those in Canada, Europe and the UK will have to pay the equivalent numerical figure, except in their local currencies.

The new PS4 boasts of a totally new look, where its internal design architecture has been trimmed down drastically, ranging from the optical drive to the power supply unit as well as cooling mechanism, in an effort to ensure that the body remains as slim and light as possible, all the while helping to enhance the flexibility of the design in a dramatic fashion.

With its simple and yet modern design that has been accentuated by its linear flat form factors, the PS4′s body willbe subdivided into four different sections, as though there were four blocks which have been stacked together in order to make up a single figure, complete with a disc slot, buttons, power indicator and vent that has been placed within the slim interspace which was created between the sections. There will be the usual slew of PS4 peripherals to choose from as well, where they include the stand-alone Wireless Controller for PlayStation 4 (DUALSHOCK 4) and PlayStation Camera, and either one will arrive in jet black at $59 a pop. Any takers for the new Sony PS4?

SF, NY prosecutors launching ‘Save our Smartphones’ anti-theft initiative today

SF, NY prosecutors launching Save our Smartphones antitheft initiative today

The Attorney General of New York and District Attorney of San Francisco are teaming up with police and government groups to cut down on smartphone-related muggings. George Gascón (SF) and Eric Schneiderman (NY) will announce “Save our Smartphones” at a summit in New York later today, after meeting with representatives from Apple, Google, Samsung and Microsoft. The scheme aims to introduce a universal “kill switch,” similar to iOS 7’s Activation Lock, that’ll render stolen phones worthless across all makes and models — preventing this sort of thing from becoming a hazard of modern living.
