iPhone 5c review

After weeks of leaks and speculation, the iPhone 5c is finally here. Apple's colorful new lower-cost handset slots below the iPhone 5s flagship and ships with iOS 7. This is the first time the company's launched two new iPhones simultaneously. The 5c replaces the iPhone 5 in the middle of the lineup, and the 8GB iPhone 4s is now available free on contract. Unlike years past, the iPhone 5 doesn't carry on as a second-tier device -- it's just gone. The 5c is built from steel-reinforced, colored-through, machined polycarbonate that's coated in a glossy finish. Apple's last plastic handset was the iPhone 3GS in 2009, but it only came in black and white. In contrast, the 5c arrives in a rainbow of pastel hues: white, pink, yellow, blue and green, along with a matching set of cases.

HTC One will receive Android KitKat in 90 days

HTC America president Jason Mackenzie said that the latest version of Android would be available in the US on all carriers in 90 days or less. He made the comments during an interview with Engadget.

Updates to the HTC One Max and the HTC One Mini will follow the update to the HTC One.

It is unclear if the UK will receive the update before or after the US. It could mean that UK owners may have to wait until March before getting their hands on Android 4.4, though we doubt that will be the case.

We’ve contacted HTC UK for clarification and will update this story when we hear back.

How Scientists Manage the Flood of “Big Data” from Space

As “big data” from space missions continues to pour in, scientists and software engineers are coming up with new strategies for managing the ever-increasing flow of such large and complex data streams.

For NASA and its dozens of missions, data pour in every day like rushing rivers. Spacecraft monitor everything from our home planet to faraway galaxies, beaming back images and information to Earth. All those digital records need to be stored, indexed and processed so that spacecraft engineers, scientists and people across the globe can use the data to understand Earth and the universe beyond.
