Microsoft gives students 3GB additional Skydrive storage for one year

There are plenty of cloud storage options out there which offer some initial amount of free space -- including Dropbox (2GB), Google Drive (5GB), Box (5GB) and Microsoft Skydrive (7GB). While these services usually provide additional free storage via referrals and special deals (bundled with device purchases for example), Microsoft is doing something different with Skydrive by gifting students an extra 3GB of free space for one year. If you have a valid .edu email address you can visit the URL below to receive a free storage code. The offer is limited to one per person and the code must be redeemed before December 31st 2013. It's unclear what happens to your data after the year's over but it presumably remains available in read-only form. Considering the price of tuition, this deal isn't quite as juicy as getting 100GB of free space for two years on Google Drive with the purchase of a Chromebook -- still it's a no brainer.

MercedesBenz wants QR codes on cars to speed up the rescue process

We joke that most people don't like QR codes, but those codes link to a lot of information through one snapshot -- and Mercedes-Benz may just use that efficiency to save lives. The automaker is putting the symbols on vehicles so that emergency crews just need a phone camera scan for easy access to rescue sheets, which are schematics that show where to cut into a wrecked car when recovering trapped passengers. With such immediate knowledge, rescuers don't have to wait for a model confirmation or else risk cutting wires and fuel lines. While we'll initially see the QR codes only in Mercedes-Benz cars made this year and beyond (placed inside the fuel door and on the opposite side B-pillar), the company isn't being selfish: it's refusing to patent its method in the hope that every vehicle manufacturer will quickly embrace the technology.

Speedy rescue of accident victims: A new Mercedes-Benz initiative: QR code that can save lives
Stuttgart, May 23, 2013

Stuttgart – When every second counts: with a small yet effective innovation, Mercedes-Benz wants to make the rescue of accident victims safer and swifter. In future a QR code, which can be read by smartphones and tablets, placed on Mercedes-Benz cars, will provide a rescue map for every vehicle type, which can be shown on the device's display. This chart contains all the information necessary to rescue any injured occupants speedily.
This Mercedes-Benz innovation makes use of the rescue sheets developed by the ADAC, the German Automobile Association, and which are already provided by all automakers for every one of their vehicle models. The sheets show firefighters, police and paramedics the design details they need to know in order to use the rescue shears effectively, for example. The rescue sheet, specific for each vehicle type, also informs about the location of the airbags, the battery, the tanks, electric cables, high-pressure cylinders and other components – in the case of hybrid models the location of the additional batteries and high-voltage cables, too. This information can save lives, because in an emergency every action counts and every second is precious.
However, in many cases rescue workers have to do their best without a rescue sheet, either because the driver neglected to carry one in the car, or because the rescuers cannot find it in the car. There are different proposals for the best location for the rescue sheet. Most favour the sun visor.
If there is no rescue sheet on board, then the rescue workers have to identify the accident vehicle with absolute certainty – something that does not always lead to the correct result in the presence of severe accident damage and missing model identification. In such cases only a telephone inquiry based on the number plate can help.
This Mercedes-Benz innovation, on the other hand, offers – in almost all cases – a swift and reliable way to a vehicle-specific correct security identity card – and can do this without requiring any action on the part of the driver. As from this year all new vehicles from Mercedes-Benz will be provided with two stickers with a so-called QR code. This square symbol with black and white sectors is often used by magazines, for instance, to direct readers via internet to a specific web page. Thanks to an app, QR codes can be read by every smartphone and every Tablet equipped with a camera.
The Mercedes-Benz QR codes identify the vehicle reliably, make fundamental information about the vehicle visible immediately and automatically direct to the website with the specific rescue sheet – generally a matter of only a few seconds. In order to make it easy to find the label with the potentially lifesaving QR code, Mercedes-Benz places one on the fuel tank flap and the other on the B-pillar on the opposite vehicle side. For it seldom occurs that both these parts are badly damaged at the same time in an accident, and they are furthermore easily accessible from the outside.
Further benefits of the innovative QR code solution from Mercedes-Benz:
Rescue workers do not need to identify the vehicle themselves and navigate through Internet pages for this.
Suitable for all vehicle types, both with conventional and with alternative drive systems.
The stickers with QR code can be easily retrofitted.
All automakers can continue to update their own rescue sheet links themselves and thus use the QR system to advantage, because Mercedes-Benz has waived the right to a patent registration in order to make the system available to everyone.
For all model series from production start in 1979, Mercedes-Benz has rescue sheets in different languages available to download at https://portal.aftersales.i.daimler.com/public/content/asportal/en/communication/informationen_fuer/rettungskarten.html

Hipstamatic's photo filter app Oggl now open for everyone

Hipstamatic's subscription-based photo filter app is now publicly available on iTunes, a few weeks after its invite-only launch. Oggl is a free download, and you get five of its parent app's virtual lenses and films that you can mix and match to concoct your own filters from the get-go -- it also lets you edit a photo's effects after you've taken it. But if you find its small selection of lenses and films limiting and you'd prefer to have the whole enchilada (read: all Hipstamatic filters), you've got to part with $2.99 per quarter or $9.99 per year. No word yet on whether an Android version is in the works, but a preview of the app shown at the Nokia Lumia 925 launch event indicates that it's on its way to Windows Phone 8.

In each issue of Distro, editor-in-chief Tim Stevens publishes a wrap-up of the week in news.

DNP Editor's Letter One more Xbox

Can you believe we've had the Xbox 360 since 2005? As a child of the two- or three-year console cycle, a system still going strong after eight seems inconceivable. Finally, it's being put out to pasture -- somewhat unceremoniously. The Xbox One is its successor and, with no backwards compatibility for disc-based or downloaded games, those looking to make the leap to the next generation in the fall will already want to start weaning themselves from Microsoft's current wunderconsole. It'll make it easier for both of you when it comes time to unplug it.

And you probably will want to unplug it and make the upgrade, though to be fair there's plenty to be cynical about with the Xbox One. So, I'll get that out of the way first, starting with the name. Microsoft is trying to send the message that the new Xbox is the only device you'll need to control your living room. That may be, but One? HTC, of course, called its latest flagship the One, but that was a case of a company distancing itself from previous, complicated naming schemes and going with something simpler. Here, there have been only two previous generations of the Xbox. Calling the third one the "One" is simply confusing. Still, it beats "Xbox Foo," which is what Microsoft's initial press release mentioned. Someone, it seems, got the memo on the official name a little too late.

Then there's the design. It is, basically, a big black box with a bunch of vents.

Then there's the design. It is, basically, a big black box with a bunch of vents. I've seen ATX PC cases that look more stylish. It's disappointing that both the Xbox One and the PS4 are basically customized PCs on the inside, but do they really need to look like PCs on the outside, too? And then there's the OneGuide TV experience, driven mostly by a combination of HDMI passthrough and an IR blaster. I'm not optimistic this will be significantly better than Google TV. I'm also bummed about the (predictable and understandable) lack of backwards compatibility.

So, a total flop? Actually, I'm pretty excited.

So, a total flop? Actually, I'm pretty excited. I think the graphics will be impressive once devs get their heads around it; I think Microsoft is banking on their current success to line up a suite of impressive titles; and I think the new, higher-res and smarter Kinect could finally make that a compelling addition. I also think the new controller, with its "impulse triggers" and ever so slightly revised design, feels amazing. Sadly, the games themselves are still a bit of an unknown, as we only saw a few brief glimpses at this week's all-too-short event. Nice of Microsoft to save something for E3.

Xbox didn't totally dominate the news cycle, however, with Yahoo making a big splash over the weekend talking of a possible Tumblr acquisition. It was long rumored; then it was dismissed; and then... well, then it happened. The $1.1 billion acquisition is a massive amount of cash for the microblogging platform. Some expressed doubt, with a whopping 72,000 Tumblr users porting their content over to WordPress in one hour on the Sunday before things got official, but Yahoo is promising to not screw things up. Things at least got off to a good start, with Flickr receiving a major redesign and its users receiving 1TB of free storage.

Signs are unclear now, but hopefully this shake-up will help the company come out stronger.

As we go to press, there are some shaky happenings at HTC. A series of high-profile departures have seen the loss of members of the marketing team and even the CEO of its Asian business. Is this is a sign of something looming within HTC? Or, is it a sharp correction in response to the company's recent failings? Signs are unclear now, but hopefully this shake-up will help the company come out stronger.

Finally, Sprint closed out a deal to buy some of US Cellular's Midwest spectrum, picking up some 420,000 customers in the process.

In this week's Distro we're taking you deep inside the creation of the Xbox One. Ben Gilbert got exclusive access to many of the engineers of the console and, in an incredibly detailed feature, will splay the system wide open for you. We also have our hands-on impressions with the system itself, the new Kinect and that great new controller. If that weren't enough, we have reviews of the Toshiba Kirabook and ASUS Transformer Book, as well as the updated ASUS PadFone Infinity. We have three editorials putting the week's gaming news in perspective and there's also a Q&A with NASA astrophysicist Amy Mainzer. It's a lot to take in, we know, but you can handle it.

With $671,400, you could buy roughly 2,040.7 base-model iPad minis before taxes. One unnamed buyer, however, just laid that amount out for a single Apple 1 from 1976. Auctioned through a Germany-based Sotheby's, The New York Times Bits blog notes the price beats out the firm's $640K record from another unit last November. Interestingly, this current seller refurbished this latest Apple 1 to working condition, after paying only $40K for it privately. We'd be remiss not to mention that the seller also had Steve Wozniak grace it with a signature. You'll find more info at the source, while we wrap our heads around how this makes last summer's auction price of $374.5K look like a relative steal.

Report Yahoo becomes the latest company to place a bid on Hulu

The rumors on the potential sale of Hulu started circulating again a couple of months back. Now, according to AllThingsD, Yahoo is joining other big-name companies (such as Time Warner Cable and DirecTV) in the race to try and acquire the streaming service. Per the always-insightful sources "familiar with the process," Marissa Mayer & Co. submitted a bid for Hulu just this morning, though there are no details on how much the company is willing to spend on the video site. Something tells us we'll know more soon enough, but we can say with confidence that Yahoo is starting its holiday shopping really early.
