European Lawmakers Push for Universal Chargers
Members of the European Parliament's internal market and consumer
protection committee voted unanimously Thursday in favor of a new law
mandating universal chargers for mobile devices. In addition to
convenience -- German parliamentarian Barbara Weiler called the current
situation "cable chaos" -- the measure is motivated by a desire to curb
electronic waste.

iOS 7 Is a Stomach-Churning Ride for Some Users
Apple's new iOS 7 is making people sick -- literally -- based on
complaints that have begun appearing on Apple forums. "The zoom
animations everywhere on the new iOS 7 are literally making me nauseous
and giving me a headache," wrote Ensorceled on one forum. "It's exactly
how I used to get car sick if I tried to read in the car." Once a user
makes the decision to update iOS, there's no going back to the previous
version.

MeteoEarth: Enjoy the Graphics, If Not the Weather
You know those fancy, animated weather visualizations that you get on
the local television news broadcasts -- the ones with the 3D drill-down
dynamic graphics that make it appear as if the meteorologist is
directing the clouds? Well, you can now get something similar on your
Android device. MeteoGroup is a European producer of weather-in-motion
graphics that it supplies to broadcasters.

Twitter Alerts: One Emergency System to Aggregate Them All?
Twitter on Wednesday launched Twitter Alerts, a new emergency
notification service. The feature "brings us one step closer to helping
users get important and accurate information from credible organizations
during emergencies, natural disasters or moments when other
communications services aren't accessible," explained Gaby Peña, a
product manager with the company.
