This officially-licensed Star Trek beer is called Warnog. It is not nearly as strong as Klingon bloodwine, but then again, humans can’t handle that. Still, it does go good with a nice moving plate full of Gagh.

This drink fit for warriors comes from the Tin Man Brewing Company in Evansville, Indiana. It has been described as a blend of “rye malt with a traditional clove character.” Drink enough and you will see Kahless, the first warrior king of the Klingon people. Drink too much and you may enter Sto’Vo’Kor.

The beer will be officially unveiled today apparently at the Nightclub & Bar Show in Las Vegas. Remember, never drink and drive a Klingon bird of prey.

Google Play Music has been able to hold its ground despite the abundance of music services. However the existing Music Manager app for desktop left a lot to be desired, such as the ability to upload songs through a web browser. A new feature has been introduced in the “labs” section of Play Music. Through this users can upload music via a web browser by simply dragging and dropping tracks from onboard storage of their computers. If the track exists in Google’s massive music library it will automatically be added, if not, it will be uploaded.

Using a proprietary version of multi-peer Bluetooth, the Loopd iOs application allows users to search and connect with contacts within a few feet without using a GPS. As the example described in the video (see above), you can see who you know at a party and start a chat session on the spot, to find in which room your contact is. This could be very useful during large tech conferences, such as CES or MWC where unplanned meetings based on “real-time proximity” would be more efficient than scheduling meetings far away apart.

Loopd is launching the IOS app today and plans to unveil its wearable tech component in June.  From my email conversation with CEO Brian Friedman, I learned that the upcoming loopd bracelet will use gesture to let people exchange their contact info with a simple handshake. I cannot wait to see and try this cool gadget!

Microsoft recently admitted that it went through a blogger’s Hotmail account to collect evidence of a leak by an employee. The proof led to the arrest of Alex Kibkalo, a former Microsoft employee who leaked Windows 8 files and Microsoft Activation Server Software Developer Kit to a French blogger. Microsoft was well within its rights to access the account, even though it may border on violation of privacy. The company’s privacy policy states that it can access content of communications “to protect the rights or property of Microsoft.” After this story broke, Google was accused of doing the same through Gmail. The company has formally denied allegations.
