OS X Mavericks Taps MacBook Pro's Ambient Light Sensor To Detect Movement

We're not sure if MacBook Pro owners have noticed, but your laptops come with built-in ambient light sensors which has been used for the most part to dynamically adjust the brightness of its displays, as well as adjust the backlighting of the keyboard. Well now it seems that in the recently OS X Mavericks, Apple has tapped the ambient light sensor to do more than that and will now be able to detect when users are not around their computer, thus putting the computer to sleep, spinning down the hard drives, or turning off the display in a bid to save energy.

Check out Michael Vick talking about his new car site. No, really

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick has quite a checkered reputation on and off the football field, and he's become as notable for his activities away from the NFL as he has his performances on the gridiron. One thing he hasn't been that well-known for, however, is his interest in automobiles. That may change, however, as he's just opened a website dedicated to motor vehicles, ShowMike.com. "I love football, but many fans may not know that I am a big-time car enthusiast," Vick relates.

The website is billed as an interactive online showroom, where you can see other celebrities' cars.

Nexus 5? That's old stuff. Let's talk about the Nexus 8

You weren't really naive enough to think that the leaks from Mountain View were going to end once the Nexus 5 went on sale, were you. No, sir, that's not the way Google rolls these days. Having updated their Android.com domain with the release of Android 4.4, the above tablet, which we have so far not seen anywhere, was very visibly featured under the section A Library that goes with you. Most of the web is considering the tablet to be an 8-inch one, particularly considering the slimmed down bezels from the top and bottom which I'm sure pretty much every one would welcome.
