Google have updated their YouTube Capture for iOS app, which is a video sharing app for Apple's mobile OS. Google have pushed it up to version 1.3, which includes a bunch of colorless enhancements like faster startup times, an upload timer and HD previews of image enhancements.

The biggest change YouTube Capture for iOS version 1.3 includes is the ability to flick on Wi-Fi-only sharing, which is great for those of us without unlimited mobile data plans. The new update is 28.3MB, and you can get it from the iTunes Store.

The FBI thought they had another Chinese spy on their hands when they boarded a plane at Dulles International Airport to arrest Bo Jiang, a Chinese national with a doctorate in electrical engineering from Old Dominion University.

Jiang was a former contractor with NASA at their Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, and was fired because of pressure from Republican congressman Frank Wolf of Virginia. Wolf claimed that Jiang and other Chinese engineers employed by NASA contrators were a security risk, and the day of his flight back to China, he had a NASA-owned laptop in his possession.

All that Jiang did wrong, was violate NASA policies, as there was no evidence of any sensitive material on his laptop, and Jiang had not had clearance to the secret projects at Langley as an employee of the National Institute of Aerospace. Investigators did find the laptop filled to the brim with porn and pirated movies. There was a press release issued by Wolf after the arrest, with a copy of Jiang's arrest warrant disappearing off the congressman's website. It was cached by Google though, where Wolf said:

I am particularly concerned that (the) information (on Jiang's laptop) may pertain to the source code for high-tech imaging technology that Jiang has been working on with NASA. This information could have significant military applications for the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army.

Instagram has been updated, reaching version 3.5 and now includes the new feature of photo tagging. You've been able to use hashtags up until now, but tagging your friends in your photos is a great new addition.

You can take your picture, drop it, apply whichever filter you like best, then tap the tag button to select one or more friends in your photo. You can add any of your friends, as well as other accounts you follow such as a restaurant or business. The person who took the photo is the only one who can tag others, which will help with spam, thankfully.

If you're tagged in one of your friends' photos, it will turn up in your profile as "Photos of You", where you, or anyone else, can see them in one single spot.

Ted Sarandos, Netflix's Chief Content Officer, recently completed an interview with Stuff.tv. Most of the information was rather boring, though you can read the full interview at Source #1 below. The one interesting piece, at least to me, is that Sarandos says piracy drops in a region shortly after Netflix launches.

One of the things is we get ISPs to publicise their connection speeds - and when we launch in a territory the Bittorrent traffic drops as the Netflix traffic grows. So I think people do want a great experience and they want access - people are mostly honest. The best way to combat piracy isn't legislatively or criminally but by giving good options. One of the side effects of growth of content is an expectation to have access to it. You can't use the internet as a marketing vehicle and then not as a delivery vehicle.

It does make quite a bit of sense. Often times people are forced to turn to BitTorrent to get the content they want to watch. However, most people are willing to pay for that content if the content providers would just license it to the region. This is similar to what has been seen with Spotify and other offerings. People are willing to pay as long as they can get the content they want.

Facebook has rolled out the new Trusted Friends feature. Trusted Friends allows a Facebook user to set various friends as trusted contacts to aid in recovering a Facebook account. Should you forget your log in or need emergency access, these trusted friends will be able to lend a helping hand.

The feature is much the same as you might do with your house keys. Many people give neighbors house keys when on vacation or just to keep in case they lose their keys or have an emergency. The system will send security codes to each trusted contact who will then need to provide the code to you.

You'll apparently need the security codes from each friend, which should help prevent a single trusted contact from gaining access to your account.

Apple's App Store is getting close to hitting the 50 billion download mark and wants to celebrate. They've started another countdown, this time to 50 billion and will be awarding a $10,000 gift card to the person who manages to snag the 50 billionth app download.

As part of the countdown, Apple has listed up some of the all time most downloaded free and paid apps, citing these apps as being what helped propel the App Store to such great heights. Interestingly enough, the top paid app is Apple's Pages and the top free app is Microsoft's Skype for iPad. Goes to show what we use these devices for the most.

Blockbuster was acquired by Dish back in 2011 after filing for bankruptcy in 2010. The defunct movie rental company has had a desktop app, Smart TV app, and Android app since January and has now added an iOS app to the line up. The new app performs the same functions as the other currently available apps.

Users are able to browse, rent, then stream movies from Blockbuster's catalog of almost 5,500 different movies. Pricing ranges from $2.99 all the way to $6.99 for new releases. You'll need a free account, which you can create through the app or on Blockbuster's On Demand website.

Blockbuster has some competition in the streaming market. Netflix is rather well established and Redbox has recently entered into the market. It's going to be an uphill battle, but definitely doable. The app is available from Apple's App Store.

Google has debuted a Keep Chrome web app, bringing the functionality of the Android app to the desktop. For those who don't know, Google Keep functions much the same as Evernote, providing content storage and syncing between devices. This content is generally notes and other journal-like data.

The new app, available from the Chrome store, offers up offline support on the desktop. Google Keep allows users to store notes, pictures, and other content and sync it between devices.

The Google Keep Chrome app launches in its own window, so you can create notes, cross out your to-do lists, and attach photos to tasks while you work on other things. And if you don't have an internet connection, don't fret: the Chrome app works offline because we all know that ideas (big and small) can be sparked at any time.

Enermax has confirmed that their power supplies have been tested and are ready for Intel's upcoming Haswell-based CPU. Some power supplies will be incompatible with Intel's new C6 and C7 power states, which are capable of reducing idle power draw to just 0.05 amps, an impressive feat for Intel.

Enermax says that all current high-end and mid-range models are compatible with the new C states. In fact, all high-end power supplies manufactured by Enermax since the Revolution85+ in 2008 are compatible with the so-called ZERO Load Design, meaning you won't have to upgrade. To make sure your PSU is compatible, check it against the list Enermax has published.

Rovio has delivered the latest Angry Birds game in the form of Angry Birds Friends. The new Angry Birds game features Facebook integration to allow users to play the game with friends. Players can expect new levels and tournaments each week along with daily gifts and challenges.

The game syncs progress between the Facebook version and the app, allowing you to seamlessly transition from one device to the next. The gameplay doesn't deviate too much from the standard Angry Birds that you've come to know and love over the past iterations of the game.

You can use the new iOS app on the iPhone 3GS or later, iPod Touch third generation, or any iPad. It's available in the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.

Paul Otellini, the former CEO of Intel, announced last year in November that he would be retiring this year. This meant that Intel needed to find a replacement CEO. The competition boiled down to two candidates: Intel's current COO and current CFO. We now know who won. Welcome to Brian Krzanich, the former COO of Intel.

Krzanich has been with the company for more than 31 years, an impressive track record for anyone. He worked his way up from a process engineer all the way to COO. The stock market seems to be indifferent about the selection as Intel's stock price hasn't fluctuated much throughout the day.

I'm sure you'll all join us in wishing Brian Krzanich the best.

Samsung's main chip factory in the city of Hwaseong has suffered a second major leak of the toxic hydrofluoric acid, a chemical used in the manufacturing of semiconductors. Three employees have been injured and admitted to a local hospital for further examination.

Samsung had a similar leak just three months ago. Samsung was fined a minuscule $1,000 and received a telling-off from police investigators. It clearly wasn't enough as a second leak occurred earlier today. The three injured staff were contract workers who were upgrading parts of the facility.

At approximately 11:30 a.m. on May 2, three external contract workers were partially exposed to diluted hydrofluoric acid at Samsung's semiconductor manufacturing facility in Hwaseong, Korea. The workers received immediate first aid attention on site and were admitted to hospital for further examination. This occurred while the workers were upgrading parts of an existing facility in line with Ministry of Employment and Labor requirements. Samsung has reported the incident to the appropriate local authorities and is fully cooperating with investigations. We take the health and safety of workers very seriously and are committed to addressing any issues regarding the well-being of those working in our facilities.

Everyone seems to be in the trade-in business. Recently AT&T started a trade-in promo, and now HTC is looking to do the same for this weekend to boost sales of its flagship device. The expanded promotion is available in the United States and Canada for this weekend only.

Anyone who buys a new HTC One between now and May 5 is eligible to trade in their current smartphone for a minimum of $100. Some devices, depending on age and condition, are eligible for up to a $375 credit. It's obviously a better deal for those with extremely old smartphones as $100 is likely higher than the going rate on Ebay.

To get the full details and rates, check out HTC's promo page.

It's not just you, the Samsung Galaxy S 4 is proving to be massively popular with consumers, rocketing up to the fourth most popular device in the UK in a mere four days. According to data by uSwitch.com Mobile Tracker, the Galaxy S 4 proved to be the fourth most popular smartphone in April.

The iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S came in number one and two, respectively, but Samsung is hot on their heels. After all, those devices have been out for six or more months and the Galaxy S 4 has been out for just four days. The top five spots are rounded out with the HTC One and Galaxy S III.

Impressively, eight of the top 10 sports are held by either Apple or Samsung. Ernest Doku of uSwitch.com:

It comes as little surprise that Samsung's Galaxy S4 has entered the chart in such a strong position. A carefully orchestrated sequence of reveals and events since its initial March unveiling has seen the S4 remain on the lips of critics and eager consumers alike. The hype train had barely left the station and popularity in terms of searches and pre-orders were through the roof, resulting in performance usually the preserve of an Apple device. The fact that Apple and Samsung occupy eight of the top ten spots is a clear indication of their dominance in the smartphone space, with the impressive HTC One valiantly holding its own.

A Google employee has taken to the Macworld forum to deny claims that Google Now for iOS is tough on battery life. There have been numerous reports that Google Now rapidly drains a device's battery, but this Google employee says these reports are "incorrect."

Many have blamed Google Now's Location Services, but Google counters this by saying the app is built differently to minimize the impact of Location Services. Instead of GPS, it relies on cell towers and WiFi hotspots. Reports claim that the Location Services arrow is displayed "permanently" after enabling Now and only goes away after deleting the Search app.

According to Google, who says they tested the Google Now for iOS app for months, they did not observe any significant battery drain. What qualifies as significant is up for argument.

Apple has released today an exclusive update for iPhone 5 devices. The update, which brings the version number up to 6.1.4, is exclusively for the latest iPhone and contains rather minor changes. The update is available over-the-air and comes in at a rather small 11.5MB.

The update brings with it an "updated audio profile for speakerphone." Between both the size of the update and change log, we're convinced that this is an extremely minor update. Of course, updating to the latest version will break your jailbreak and we doubt an updated audio profile is enough to make you want to lose your jailbreak. For everyone else, you can grab the update OTA or by clicking your device version:

This morning Microsoft announced that it has completed the migration of Hotmail.com accounts over to Outlook.com. The result is that the service now has over 400 million active accounts, with 125 million of those users being mobile.

This is a major jump in user statistics over the 60 million the company reported back in February. The data transfer resulting from the move was simply massive with the final total reaching 150 petabytes. The transition only took about six weeks, and the company now says that all Hotmail users must now use Outlook.com.

In conjunction with the migration wrap-up, Microsoft has rolled out two new features to the Outlook.com service. The first is SMTP send, which will allow users to easily send email from another email address, while still in their Outlook.com account. Redmond has also added deeper integration with SkyDrive, Microsoft's cloud storage service.

We also reported a couple of days ago that UK users got access to Skype in Outlook.com.

The video you are about to see was not created in CGI, nor does it use any of Hollywood's video trickery. Scientists at IBM's Almaden Research Lab in San Jose, CA, have figured out a way to precisely move and manipulate individual atoms in very precise ways. So precise, in fact, that they were able to film the world's smallest video using nothing but the building blocks of all matter.

When it comes to the things I love, the video above is about as high on the list as it gets. The simple fact that we have the technology to now take an individual atom and place it anywhere in space that we want is simply astounding, when you consider the fact that less than 100 years ago we had no idea that atoms even existed. To get a scale of what is going on here, each dot has been magnified about 100,000,000 times.

The video was made by using a scanning tunneling microscope that weighs as much as a full sized truck and operates at -268 degrees Celsius. The positioning of the atoms was achieved by moving a very tiny needle across the surface of a piece of copper the size of a postage stamp with a height from the surface of just one nanometer.

Scythe has released a new all-in-one panel for PC enthusiasts who want to greatly extend their cases front panel I/O offerings. The new Kama Panel 3.1 houses a plethora of additional ports, controls, and even a power and reset button.

The Kama Panel 3.1 is based on previous Kama Panel designs with some modern upgrades. Two USB 3.0 ports along with a 2.5" SATA port for HDD / SSD use are the most prevalent features, while a two channel fan controller with a backlit LCD screen is positioned to the right.

Also featured on the panel are several memory card reader ports, audio jacks and even a set of power buttons. This panel looks like it would be an excellent addition to modders who are building a custom chassis, and could be fit as is into any 5.25" bay or scavenged for parts to be custom fit by the skilled modder.
