Sony and Panasonic Think The World Needs a 300GB Optical Disc
With fewer and fewer computers packing an optical drive, you might be under the impression that the accompanying media is dead. Not if you're to believe Sony and Panasonic, who are planning to develop a next-gen optical disc with capacity of at least 300GB.

Gary Lineker and Lord Alan Sugar debate Gareth Bale transfer on Twitter
Ex-Tottenham striker Gary Lineker and former chairman Lord Alan Sugar have been locked in a Twitter debate over Real Madrid?s reported ?86million offer for Gareth Bale.
The Welsh winger was the subject of a world record offer from the Spaniards, but Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is understood to be sticking to his guns and refusing to sell his prized asset at any price.
Levy?s stance is believed to have infuriated Bale, but it has also become the subject of fierce debate on social networks, with fans and commentators split over the dilemma facing the Spurs chief.
Unsurprisingly, former player Lineker has backed Levy?s footballing decision to reject a bid for his star player, whereas Sugar argued the business perspective.
Sensing an increased chance of Bale leaving White Hart Lane this summer, Lineker tweeted: ?The slight shift in AVB?s rhetoric makes me think @GarethBale11 may be on his Spanish bike sometime soon.?
To which Sugar replied: ?Maybe you?re right but honestly if RM (Real Madrid) are offering ?81m dont you think its good biz to take it.?
Lineker said: ?Only for the club?s coffers. Losing your best player is never good business. Sends out all the wrong signals.?
Sugar countered: ?Well of course for the clubs coffers. But we are talking 81m that?s not peanuts and no one player is worth that.
?U know if a player wants to go. He?ll go. Sol Campbell was free agent so Arsenal could pay him massive money and no transfer fee.?

Free Software Foundation drives fundraising effort for 'fully free' Replicant Android fork
Android variants come in various guises, some liberating, some a bit cheeky, and others, entirely free. Free, as in free to you, and free from any kind of licensing issues -- and Replicant is one such example. The project has been around since 2010, but a new fundraising initiative by the Free Software Foundation promises to give it a vital boost. The key difference with Replicant and many other Android spin-offs is that it doesn't rely on proprietary software for it to play nice with vendor hardware. While most of Android is free, it's at this hardware interface level that things get a bit more complex. The FSF hopes that by driving investment towards Replicant more hardware can be supported, in turn opening the OS up to even more users. Sound like something you can get behind? Head over to the source and show your support.

Sony loaning out PS4 dev kits to developers free of charge for a year
A number of sources have stated on Polygon that some developers aren't paying a cent to use the PlayStation 4 development kit.
The dev kit itself costs about $2,500, but Sony is loaning them out for free for a period of one year, according to the company's "Become a Registered Developer" website. Various development sources on the article said that no dev kits have been sold as of yet. "All the indies I know got them for free," said one developer. "Sony has been amazing about kits and development thus far." Another developer stated that the company is "handing them out like candy".
A Sony spokesperson pointed out that the act of self-publishing was available on PlayStation platforms for over five years. "With self-publishing, we keep things really flexible for developers and give them lots of options, including funding through the Pub Fund, which is back-end funding paid upon completion of the game, we waive patch fees for indies and all digital titles and we embrace new business models like F2P, episodic, and subscriptions. We've had more than 500 games self-published on PSN."
Previously, PlayStation 3 dev kits cost between $1,000 and $10,000 with different levels of debug functionality and pricing. Sony will not be changing its self-publishing processes at this point in time.

Huawei runs David Cameron's preferred porn-filtering system, just FYI
Authorities in the UK have never had quite the same level of anxiety over Huawei that we've witnessed in the US, and they've so far been happy to let the Chinese firm get involved with numerous parts of the country's data infrastructure. As it turns out, the company's control even extends to the "Homesafe" filter used by internet service provider TalkTalk, which David Cameron recently praised during his push for tighter controls on adult content. The BBC discovered that UK-based Huawei employees are able to decide which sites are blocked on TalkTalk's service, and that even users who opt out of Homesafe have their internet usage data routed through Huawei's system. Whether or not this is an issue depends entirely on how much you trust reports of close ties between Huawei and the Chinese government, versus Huawei's claim that these concerns are based on anti-Chinese prejudice rather than evidence. From a purely practical point of view, however, if the mission is to block off huge swathes of the internet, why wouldn't you hire an expert?

JOHN LYNCH: It?s time for baseball to regain honor and integrity
Where is Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis when he is needed?
In baseball?s darkest hour, the Chicago White Sox, under the grip of Chicago mobsters, threw the 1919 World Series in the infamous ?Black Sox scandal.? Eight White Sox players were first found innocent by a Chicago jury of their peers.
The players believed they had beaten the system and celebrations went on for days in that toddling town, Chicago. But the integrity of the game had been damaged and the owners felt it was time for action.
In 1920, they hired a federal judge, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, and gave him unlimited powers under the best interests of the game provision. The players were stunned when the judge suspended the eight for life. The league took note and gambling was eliminated from the game.
Baseball?s integrity is under assault again as the PED scandal has reached a boiling point. The National League?s 2011 MVP, Ryan Braun, has recently been suspended for 65 games. But after a nice vacation, he will come back with nearly $120 million remaining on his contract. Melkey Cabrera tested positive last year and was banished for 50 games, but was rewarded with a huge contract in free agency over the offseason.
There are some 20 players implicated in the Tony Bosch and Biogenesis PED scandal, including, the worst of all, Alex Rodriguez.
A-Rod has lied and cheated his way into a massive payday and has earned hundreds of millions through his deceit.
Baseball has a huge problem. The fans will no longer tolerate cheats, and finally the clean players are speaking up against the scumbags who use PEDs.
My family has first-hand experience with players who use PEDs and the impact upon those who don?t. My younger son Ryan was a left-handed pitcher at UCLA and was drafted by the Twins. He pitched in the minor leagues for four years, was Rule 5 drafted by the Orioles and then traded to the Padres. Ryan was moving up and closer to the big leagues when he hurt his shoulder and had surgery for a rotator cuff tear.
He rehabbed diligently over the offseason and then went to spring training with the Padres. Another left-handed pitcher, who will remain nameless, also had surgery. During the offseason he added 40 pounds and his fastball speed increased from 87 to 94 mph. With his surgically repaired shoulder, Ryan was having difficulty topping out at 87.
Nonetheless, Ryan had a good spring training with zero earned runs, but he was still recovering. Having been in Double-A, he was confident the Padres were going to move him up to Triple-A. When the assignments were doled out, he was held back for an ?extended spring? because he wasn?t throwing over 90. In fact, the Padres had a ?genius? who was supervising the Padres? minor league system, and his edict was: They only advanced players throwing above 90.
The other left-handed pitcher was sent to Triple-A and was brought up by the Padres that season. He returned for parts of the next year and his body broke down with a series of shoulder and other injuries. His career was over.
