Try Out Web Store Apps Without Any Installation

It is every intention of any parent to want to see their little one grow up and succeed in life, and I guess that the same can be said for any software or hardware company to see their apps and devices be hugely successful on the market. Well, Google for one, has every intention to see Chrome apps fly, and the Internet search giant has done its fair bit in the past by throwing in better notifications, in-app payments for that added touch of convenience, and an app launcher in the browser, among others.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for Verizon drops to $170

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 launched on Verizon in the US early last month on $300 with contract. In the spirit of Black Friday, the price of the flagship phablet has dropped to $170 on the same deals. The $170 price comes from Amazon and doesnÂ't seem to be a part of the etailer's Black Friday promotions (meaning it should be available even after today). This price is for new Verizon accounts.

Upgraders will have to pay a bit more - $200. The Galaxy Note 3 is also available from Verizon's own site at that price.

For comparison, the Note 3 is $220 with a contract with Sprint for new accounts and $300 for upgrades.

US Military Caught Pirating Software, To Pay $50 Million In Fines

Crime does not pay, and certainly it is a crime to steal something that does not belong to you in the first place. Software piracy is a very big issue that needs to be tackled, and Apptricity, the maker of logistics software that is used to track down the location of soldiers as well as shipments in critical missions, has decided to bring the US Government to court after the defaulted on software license fees. This means that the US military had been running on unlicensed copies of the software, which would be tantamount to piracy – and the kicker is this – it has been going on for nearly 10 years.

Man Throws Away Hard Drive With More Than 7,500 Bitcoins Within

Bitcoin, the virtual currency that has gained plenty of attention in recent times, is back in the news, but with a rather unfortunate twist to it. No, I am not referring to its value dropping to less than a dollar, but rather, one man who has spent a few years (since 2009) to mine more than 7,500 Bitcoins, might now be able to receive a single cent for all his effort. According to The Guardian, a certain James Howells of Wales claimed that he threw away an unwanted hard drive which was first installed in a Dell notebook four years back, and that notebook's main purpose was to mine Bitcoins.

2003-2004 Isuzu SUVs recalled for suspension corossion woes

Here's a brand we haven't written about in some time. Isuzu is recalling 8,816 2003 Rodeo Sports and 2003 to 2004 Rodeo and Axiom models that are registered in just about any state that uses salt on winter roads. That means Isuzu owners in states as far east as Maine, as far south as Kentucky and as far west as Minnesota will need to report in with their vehicles for repairs. This recall follows a previous corrosion-related issue for 2002 Axioms and Rodeos.
The problem, which is no doubt exacerbated by road salt, has to do with corrosion around the forward mounting point for the lower link of the rear suspension.

AT&T Galaxy S4's Android 4.3 upgrade resumes rolling out; Galaxy Gear update going out, too

AT&T was one of the first carriers to get Android 4.3 for the Samsung Galaxy S4, which meant it was also the first carrier to notice a big issue with the OTA upgrade. The carrier had to suspend rollouts until Samsung got the issue fixed, but they're starting to roll it back out now that things are all keen and peachy. This upgrade will bring the premium suite features all other 4.3 Samsung devices have gotten, including improved camera features, Samsung Knox security and more. Alongside all that is also Samsung Galaxy Gear smart watch compatibility.

Oppo R827T and ZTE Grand S II get certified in China

Two yet unofficial phones have hit the Chinese wireless authority Tenaa for certification – a mid-range smartphone from Oppo and one phablet from ZTE. The Oppo R827T, previously thought to be Oppo Find 5 Mini, doesnÂ't quite live up to the "mini" part though, nor the "5". It has a 4.7" screen with qHD resolution (540 x 960) and measures 137 x 68 x 7.75mm. The weight is 128g.

U-CAT 'Turtle' Robot Aids In Shipwreck Exploration

The U-CAT robot, the brainchild of researchers from the Center for Biorobotics, Tallinn University of Technology, does come in the shape of a turtle, where the main purpose of its existence is not to fall into some sort of radioactive goo before being turned into a bad-ass, ninja fighting robot with a mutated human-rodent as its master. No sir, the U-CAT robot has a far more peaceful existence, where it was specially designed in order to explore shipwrecks in a far more effective and affordable manner.

YouTube App Teardown Points To Possible Music Pass Service

For an app to remain the same without receiving any updates or upgrades at all from the developer does not bode well for its future – in fact, it would mean the app would have a relatively short shelf life since competitors would have far outstripped it in terms of progress in the long run. Having said that, popular mobile app YouTube is in line for yet another update, where a recent APK teardown points (APK stands for Application Package File, and is a file format for the Android ecosystem) to the very real possibility of a Music Pass service.

Microsoft Targets The Galaxy Tab In Ad This Time Around

This time around, we have seen Microsoft aim their crosshairs at the Samsung Galaxy Tab, where said tablet was lambasted for not having a full sized USB port, unlike Microsoft's Surface RT tablet, of course.

Earlier this year, PopCap Games announced two new titles would be making their way to the Xbox One prior to releasing them on any other platform. Peggle 2 and Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare will be launching on the Xbox One first, but up until now, we didn't know where exactly either game would land once they were made available on Microsoft's next-gen gaming system. In the case of Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, it looks like the title will be making its way to the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 4 some time after its initial release on the Xbox One.

Moto X With Wooden Backplate To Arrive During The Holiday Season

When Motorola first announced the Moto X, one of the coolest customizable options we saw was how customers could potentially choose a wooden backplate for the handset, which is definitely different and more unique from your typical color options. Unfortunately until today, no word on when the wooden backplate option will make its way into the Moto Maker site, but last we heard it was tipped for a Q4 2013 release. Well  the good news is that if you were looking forward to a wooden-backed Moto X, a tweet by reporter for Reuters has revealed that the wooden option will be coming in time for holiday shoppers.

Velicky (and with the help of his team, of course) created the Falskaar mod which was such a huge undertaking that it took him a year to complete and was almost like an expansion on its own. The goal of the mod was to prove to Bethesda that Velicky had it in him to be part of the company and help them create games in the future.

Smartphones Expected To Account For 82% Of Cellphone Sales In 2017

For those of us living in developed countries and cities, seeing a smartphone is not an uncommon sight. Instead, seeing something with a feature phone would be more of a surprise. However despite being exposed to smartphones, not everyone around the world has one due to a variety of reasons, such as availability and pricing and also the needs of the user, which is why some turn to feature phones which are not only cheap, but get the job done such as calling and messaging. In any case what about the future.

When the BlackBerry Z30 was launched, it was also revealed that the handset would eventually be making its way onto Verizon's network where customers would be able to get their hands on the device for $199.99 on a new two-year contract with the carrier. While the Z30 isn't exactly the most powerful smartphone available at the moment, and nor is BlackBerry an extremely popular operating system for mobile devices (it still has a pretty loyal following though), $199.99 did seem a tad pricey especially given that there are other options out there that can be had for a similar, if not lower price.

Jaguar C-X17 resurfaces in China with gold finish, five-seat cabin (video)

Some concept cars make the rounds of the auto shows and are then retired. But a number of automakers are showing that a fresh coat of paint can go a long way towards rejuvenating a show car and giving it a new lease on life – at least as far as the auto show circuit is concerned. Lexus did that recently with the LF-LC concept, initially unveiling it in red at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, then repainting it a dark shade of blue for the subsequent shows in Australia and LA. Mini did the same with the Rocketman concept.

But the series has taken a big step toward reality with the first test session of the Spark-Renault SRT_01E that is set to form the backbone of the tree-hugging motorsport discipline. The session took place at the Circuit La Ferté Gaucher, a track we had never heard of in northern France that makes us wonder why they didn't go for a warmer location closer to the Côte d'Azur given the dropping autumnal temperatures.

Google opens up Mirror API to all developers, even more Glassware incoming

Earlier this week Google gave us a sneak peek at their upcoming Google Glass Development Kit (GDK), a set of tools developers will use to hit the ground running with Glassware ( Google Glass apps). While the GDK still isn't ready for prime time, Google Developers did announce via their G+ page that the Glass Mirror API has finally been opened to all. The Mirror API — while not as full featured as the GDK — utilizes cloud APIs to build web apps for Glass, not apps that run natively on the hardware. These are the type of apps we've seen “running” on Glass at the moment.

Honda shows MC-β short-distance EV

Taking a page from Renault and the Twizy – the page that says you don't need real doors on a tiny electric vehicle – Honda has unveiled a new version of its tiny MC-β EV. That's tiny in terms of overall size, battery capacity and range. Should it ever go on sale in Europe, the MC-β would be considered an L7 vehicle, which is a classification for vehicles that weigh 400 kilograms or less (not counting battery weight) with a maximum power output of 15 kW – typically motorcycles. Honda is displaying the MC-β at the Smart Mobility City 2013 exhibition as part of the Tokyo Motor Show this week.

Motorola online store now offers zero interest financing

If you're in the US and want a cool new Motorola phone, but don't have the cash for it you probably think it sucks that the $180 Moto G won't be available for a couple of months. There's another way though – you can get credit from Motorola and pay nothing up front. If you pay it off within 6 or 12 months, there's zero interest too. If you spend $550 or more, the zero interest period extends to 18 months. That's the price of an unlocked Moto X, but you can also grab phones on contract too.

Note that the minimum monthly payment is no less than $25 a month.

The debuts of the 2015 Subaru WRX and the Legacy Concept at the Los Angeles Auto Show next week are kind of hogging the Subaru spotlight, making it easy to forget that there is a more potent, more aggressive version of the small sedan waiting in the wings. And based on a rumor from Australia, we'll see the sportier WRX STI at the Detroit Auto Show in January. The report comes from Motoring in Australia, which claims that a more potent version of the WRX will make its debut in the Motor City, and that it will do so with an even 300 horsepower (five fewer than the current STI) and 290 pound-feet of torque (identical to the current car).
