Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Kantar: Apple Regained Ground in the First Quarter of 2014 [Chart]
The latest smartphone sales data from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech has Apple regaining some ground due to the strong performance of the iPhone 5s.
In Europe, Android remains the top OS with 70.7% of the market. Apple holds second with 19.2% and Windows comes in third with 8.1%.
Dominic Sunnebo, strategic insight director at Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, comments: “Apple regained ground in the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to the strong performance of the iPhone 5S, growing its sales share in Europe, Japan and Australia. By contrast, Windows had a tough start to the year as a result of its entry-level Nokia models facing fierce competition from low-end Motorola, LG and Samsung Android smartphones.”

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Google's Self Driving Car is Now Mastering City Street Driving [Video]
Google announced today that it’s shifted the focus of the Google self-driving car project onto mastering city street driving.
Since our last update, we’ve logged thousands of miles on the streets of our hometown of Mountain View, Calif. A mile of city driving is much more complex than a mile of freeway driving, with hundreds of different objects moving according to different rules of the road in a small area. We’ve improved our software so it can detect hundreds of distinct objects simultaneously—pedestrians, buses, a stop sign held up by a crossing guard, or a cyclist making gestures that indicate a possible turn. A self-driving vehicle can pay attention to all of these things in a way that a human physically can’t—and it never gets tired or distracted.
Google says that what looks chaotic and random on a city street is actually fairly predictable to a computer. They’ve built software models for thousands of different situations; however, there are still many more to solve.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Bluelounge Launches 'Jimi' USB Port Extension for iMac
Bluelounge has launched Jimi – a USB port extension that helps users access the back USB port of their iMac from the front of their monitor. Jimi is a J-shaped extension that eliminates the need to strain to reach the USB port at the back of the iMac, but rather, brings it forward so that it’s within reach and easy to access.
“Jimi was designed to enhance the user experience with the new iMac,” said Dominic Symons, Creative Director and Founder of Bluelounge. “We work on iMacs in the studio and kept finding that we’d have to stand or turn the monitor to access the back USB – then we thought – ah ha! And Jimi was born.”
Simply plug Jimi into the USB port at the back of the iMac and extend the bottom of the “J” to snap into place along the bottom vent of the computer. Jimi is exclusively designed for the iMac Slim Aluminium Unibody model (released November 2012) or later.
