It looks like LG has taken notice of the hype being generated by the Moto 360's gorgeous design. Per Engadget , LG this weekend released an official teaser video for a new smartwatch that shows the outlines of a smartwatch with a round face that looks at first glance to be very similar to the one used in Motorola's upcoming smartwatch.
"California has just put smartphone thieves on notice," said Senator Leno, D-San Francisco. "Starting next year, all smartphones sold in California, and most likely every other state in the union, will come equipped with theft deterrent technology when they purchase new phones. Our efforts will effectively wipe out the incentive to steal smartphones and curb this crime of convenience, which is fueling street crime and violence within our communities."
"This epidemic has impacted millions across the nation and millions more around the globe, but today we turn the page," said District Attorney George Gascón. "Seldom can a public safety crisis be addressed by a technological solution, but today wireless consumers everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief. Soon, stealing a smartphone won't be worth the trouble, and these violent street crimes will be a thing of the past. The devices we use every day will no longer make us targets for violent criminals."

U.S. retailers have been hit by a huge wave of cyber crime that may have started with the Target hack, a massive data breach that allowed hackers to steal credit and debit card information for more than 40 million customers, and personal details for more than 70 million people.

The limitations of Windows Phone — primarily the lack of high-quality new apps in its app store — are already well known. However, it looks as though Windows Phone might have a very important advantage over Android in one crucial metric: Battery life.
Samsung has had a great deal of success with its Galaxy line of smartphones over the past few years, but Apple always seem to stay one step ahead in many of the most important metrics. After a relatively disappointing launch for the Galaxy S5, Samsung looked poised for another tough quarter, but according to a report from Strategy Analytics, Samsung overtook Apple in the global LTE smartphone market in Q2.
Steam is a hugely popular online gaming store that counts roughly 75 million users worldwide — you may have heard of it. If you haven't heard of it, however, then you'll be happy to know that it's no barrier to you getting a job as a Comcast customer service representative.
Here's the lowdown on what you can now do with Docs, Sheets, and Slides:
You can truly get stuff done from any device--your iPhone, iPad, Android phone, Android tablet, laptop or desktop computer. Any change you make on any of these devices is saved automatically, so you can pick up right where you left off any time, anywhere that you can sign in.
The Docs, Sheets and Slides apps come with offline editing built right in. Just make the files you want to edit available offline. Any changes you make offline get automatically synced when you reconnect, just like when you make offline edits from your computer.
And while converting Office files to Docs, Sheets and Slides is a cinch, the new iPhone/iPad apps also let you edit Office files directly -- just like on the Android apps and the web.
Motorola’s upcoming flagship smartphone will offer buyers some interesting new features including some sort of 3D display support and a rear camera with optical zoom, GSM Arena reports, quoting a source with a good track record with Motorola rumors.

The chip pictured has the part number BMP282. I'm 99.99% sure this is a Bosch barometric pressure sensor, similar to this part BMP280. Variants of one part often have slightly different part numbers- if Apple got Bosch to customize the chip for them with different packaging, or a slightly different measurement range, that would explain the difference in part number.
