Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Basis Has Spoken to Apple About a Potential Sale
Basis Science, the company that makes the Basis Health Tracker Watch, is on the market, according to a TechCrunch report.
The company has reportedly spoken to Google, Apple, and possibly Microsoft and Samsung, about a potential sale.
The price we’ve heard for any possible activity is “sub-hundred million,” which could mean a small return for investors like Norwest Venture Partners, Mayfield Fund and Intel Capital, who have poured over $30 million into the company. The alternative to an acquisition for Basis would be a long-sought-after C round of funding, say those people.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple iWatch to Predict If You're About to Have a Heart Attack?
Apple’s upcoming iWatch may predict if you’re about to have a heart attack, according to The Chronicle.
Tomlinson Holman, who Apple reportedly hired in 2011 to “provide audio direction”, is a renowned audio engineer who invented THX and 10.2 surround sound. Holman has apparently been working on sensor technology to predict heart attacks by studying the sound blood makes as it flows through arteries.
Apple is exploring ways to measure noise “turbulence” as it applies to blood flow. The company wants to develop software and sensors that can predict heart attacks by identifying the sound blood makes as it tries to move through an artery clogged with plaque, the source said.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple to Release Updated iPad Air This Year, No New iPad Mini or 12.9-Inch iPad Until 2015?
Apple will reportedly release a new iPad Air this year but will hold off on updating the iPad mini or releasing a larger 12.9-inch iPad until 2015, according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The new iPad Air would feature an A8 processor and Touch ID fingerprint scanner.
Compared with lower-margin iPad mini with Retina display, which shipments has been tepid, higher-margin iPad Air was a hot selling item in 4Q13, which will slow Apple in developing new iPad mini models. We believe Apple plans to launch upgraded iPad Air early this year, and will accelerate development of 12.9” iPad. As such, more resources will be allocated to these two products, which will affect the progress of the development of new iPad mini. All told, we think chances of the debut of a new iPad mini in 2H14 are slim. In addition, the 12.9” iPad is unlikely to be offered in 2014. For these reasons, we predict the only new iPad product in 2H14 will be the upgraded iPad Air.
Kuo believes the 12.9-inch iPad will allow developers to create more interactive apps thanks to its larger screen size. However, Apple is reportedly focusing its energy on the iWatch which will be released this year.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Toshiba Announces 5TB Air-Filled Hard Drive
Toshiba has announced the launch of nearline enterprise capacity HDDs with a 5TB recording capacity, the industry’s largest for models that are not filled with helium gas.
The new series uses 1TB/platter (max) magnetic disks to realize a capacity of 5TB and achieve an internal data transfer rate of 205MiB/s, 24% faster than Toshiba’s current models, MG03SCA400 and MG03ACA400 (4TB, 165MiB/s). The series is engineered for the high-capacity demands of mid-tier servers and cloud application workloads, and for capacity-optimized data center storage systems that benefit from high capacity per spindle.
System builders have the option of selecting a Sanitize Devise Feature set function for each model, which makes it possible to invalidate important data recorded on the magnetic disks at a blink. The series also provides, as an option, persistent write cache technologies that help protect against data-loss in the event of sudden power loss.
