Android OS, Robot Chef in Development

Rupert Murdoch, the chairman of News Corp., is calling on Facebook to pay a fee for carrying the news. Murdoch says the social media platform should pay a carriage fee — similar to what cable companies do with pay TV. The idea is that Facebook is a subscriber, paying for access to deliever the content of news outlets. Google’s Android is rolling out a new feature that shows users how fast a WiFi network is before connecting to it. It will say “slow”, “OK”, “fast”, or “very fast”, allowing users to know if they’re about to waste valuable time to check their e-mail. And there’s finally a robot that can cook dinner. The Gamma Chef, made by two entrepreneurs in Croatia, looks a bit like a large coffee maker. Users load ingredients into it in the morning and program the robot to have their meal ready when they come home at night.
