PrimeSense, founded in 2005 by president Aviad Maizels, CTO Alexander Shpunt, Dima Rais, Ophir Sharon, and Tamir Berliner, is run by CEO Inon Beracha. The start-up's five founders are expected to bring in about $80 million from the acquisition.The company initially showed great promise, mainly because of its close relations with Microsoft. The software giant embedded PrimeSense's technology, which comprises both hardware and software, in the Kinect system used in Xbox 360 game consoles.
Globes notes that PrimeSense's relations with Microsoft cooled, after which the company entered into lengthy negotiations with several potential buyers. Microsoft ended up acquiring Canesta, a rival of PrimeSense, and developing the gesture recognition software for the Xbox One in-house.
Apple and PrimeSense have yet to comment on the deal.

Technology crossover Ventures is making its biggest bet (ever/in years) by backing the entirety of Spotify new $250 million round, a source tells TechCrunch. TheWall street journal's reports of Spotify raising the round at a valuation above $4 billion is right, and it will fuel Spotify’s push to become the defacto streaming music service around the world, our source says.
This is likely TCV's biggest Investment ever. It joined a crowd of VCs in Groupon’s $950 million round in 2011, and led a few other firms into Homeaway’s $250 million Series E in 2008. While it used to do more early stage deals, TCV has been focused around the Series C and D phase of startups’ lifecycles, with recent participation in $40 million rounds for Minted and JustFab.
Unlike the temple run 2 and Oz,the Endless runner is a long run game with lots of power-ups, social elements, and at least a few more interesting challenges from 'HUNGER GAMES'.
You start by choosing a male or female character. Seconds later, you're off and running, an angry swarm Jackers buzzy pursuit. just like the temple run you swipe up, down, left, and right to jump, slide, and move, all in response to the obstacles that appear along your path.
Of course, this being a Hunger Games game, you'll occasionally trade the jumping and dodging for shooting arrows at stuff, a nice (confusing ) diversion.
Panem Run litters lots of items for you to collect along the way: building materials, "sparks," and power-ups. Some of these things can be applied to various upgrades, like better arrows, spark multipliers, speed boosts, and so on.
The Federal Communications Commission will propose that cellphone use to be allowed on airplanes, according to the WSJ. Usage would still be restricted during takeoff and landing;they did also ban voice calls and data use over 10,000 feet.
Even if the ban is lifted, airlines have said that their customers strongly object to the idea, and thus they may not approve cellphone use on their flights. the FCC made a similar proposal in 2004, it received more than 8,000 comments. The FCC dropped the proposal in 2007 amid objections from flight attendants and other groups who said airborne phone calls would be a nuisance. The FCC also was concerned by a "lack of technical information upon which we may base a decision," according to its 2007

Microsoft just released an update to its Remote Desktop App for iOS that brings performance improvements, an iPhone 5 screen resolution , pinch to zoom support in Mouse Pointer mode.
With the Microsoft Remote Desktop app, you can connect to a remote PC and your work resources from almost anywhere. Experience the power of Windows with RemoteFX in a Remote Desktop client designed to help you get your work done wherever you are.
There are two methods for installing the update: directly onto an Internet-connected PlayStation 4 or with a USB flash drive. The latter can be utilized for those who don't have an Internet connection readily available.
Here's how to do it:
Step one: Insert a USB drive with at least 1GB of free space into your computer.

Step two: Create a folder on the drive titled "PS4" -- no spaces.
Step three: Inside of the PS4 folder, create a folder named "UPDATE" in all caps.
Step four: Download the update from Sony's website and save it in the UPDATE folder on your USB drive. The latest update is version 1.50.

Step five: If the power indicator on the PlayStation 4 is orange, hold the power button until the system beeps (approximately 7 seconds). Once the system is turned off, connect the USB drive.
Step six: Boot the PlayStation 4 in safe mode by holding the power button for 7 seconds.
Step seven: Plug the controller in, hit the PlayStation button, and select the "Update System Software" option. After a few minutes and a couple of restarts, your PlayStation 4 should be up to date.
Step eight: To ensure the update was properly installed, enter Settings, click on System Settings, and select System Information.
The companies say they're "pausing sales" of the device on reports of chargers damaged by overheating, and offer advice for those who already own a Chromebook 11.
That long-than-expected gap between promotion and production may have done the YotaPhone more harm than good. There’s little doubting that it raised plenty of eyebrows, but the spec sheet is looking a bit long in the tooth compared to the competition — the final production model is going to feature a dual-core 1.7GHz chipset, 2GB of RAM, a 4.3-inch 720p screen upfront, and a seemingly paltry 1800mAh battery. Granted, it shouldn’t be a total slouch with components like those, but the big question is whether or not the gimmicky second screen will be enough to tempt potential customers away from more prominent rivals like Samsung, LG, HTC, Sony, and more.
The PlayStation 3 was a troubled machine, launching at a price that gave gamers fits, and using technologies that gave developers headaches. This is how Sony avoided making the same mistakes twice.
It's the fall of 2006 and Sony has a problem. PlayStation 3, the company's eagerly awaited and hyperbolically marketed successor to the best-selling video game console of all time, has not been well-received. The major issue is cost. With models launching at $499 and $599, PS3 is shipping a year later than Microsoft's Xbox 360 and selling for $100 higher -- $200 more if you compare it to the hard drive-free Xbox 360 Core edition.
That placed the system out of the reach of many gamers, but it was a cost necessitated by complex, custom internals -- not the least of which being the physical inclusion of an Emotion Engine CPU, the brain that powered thePS2. Sony had basically replicated the guts of the older system to enable proper backward compatibility, and, by mixing that with a very advanced processor called Cell, created a system that simply could not be sold inexpensively at launch.
Cost, though, is something that can be fixed, and Sony solved that problem. The economic implications of volume production are well understood, and video game components are high-volume things. Sony would streamline and re-factor the PS3 on multiple occasions, ultimately ripping out that PS2 backward compatibility, and bringing the cost of the higher-end PS3 down to $499 the July after launch, then introducing a new, mid-range $399 model that November. It was an effective $200 price cut in just one year.
