Microsoft updates Xbox Live to outfit Xbox One with 300,000 servers, game DVR and more

Microsoft updates Xbox Live to outfit Xbox One with 300,000 servers, game DVR and more

In addition to showing of its next-gen console, Microsoft also detailed changes that are coming to Xbox Live. The outfit has increased to 300,000 servers to power Xbox One users -- up from 15,000 that handle the Xbox 360. Skype and Trending features offer social interaction while the online software will now feature a dedicated game DVR for uploading those Call of Duty exploits for all of your mates to see. In addition to being able to share highlights, searching for your next opponent has become that much easier. Music, movies, games and saved content are all stored in the cloud and devs will be able to leverage Live servers to offer more "living and persistent worlds." Current Gold members won't need to complete any extra steps as subscriptions will work on both the Xbox One and the 360.

Tornadoes tear through central U.S., killing two

Less than a week after a string of tornadoes killed six people in north Texas, a massive storm system that tore through the center of the country on Sunday spawned at least a dozen tornadoes, killed two people, injured dozens more and caused extensive damage from Georgia to Minnesota.

According to the Oklahoma state medical examiner, the two victims?Glen Irish, 79, and Billy Hutchinson, 76?were from hard-hit Shawnee. At least 39 other people were injured on Sunday, Oklahoma emergency management director Albert Ashwood said.

James Hoke, a resident of Steelman Estates Mobile Home Park in Shawnee, told the Associated Press his neighborhood "took a dead hit."

"My father-in-law was buried under the house," he said. "We had to pull Sheetrock off of him."

A tornado at least a half-mile wide was spotted near Pink, Okla., outside Oklahoma City, prompting the National Weather Service in Norman to issue an unusually dire warning:

You could be killed if not underground or in a tornado shelter. Complete destruction of neighborhoods, businesses and vehicles will occur. Flying debris will be deadly to people and animals.

"Large tornado west of Pink!" a tweet from the Norman office read. "Take cover RIGHT NOW in Pink! DO NOT WAIT!"

"Overpasses are NOT tornado shelters!" read another. "Do not park under them! You are keeping others from getting to safety!"

Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin declared states of emergency in 16 counties. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said hailstones as large as baseballs were seen throughout the region.

According to the National Weather Service, more severe weather is expected in Oklahoma on Monday, "with very large hail, damaging winds and perhaps tornadoes impacting the region."

From the National Weather Service's Facebook page in Norman:

We are very concerned that we could be dealing with dangerous storms?possibly including tornadoes?around school dismissal time today, and certainly during afternoon rush hour. Please stay very alert today and think about how you might need to change your plans this afternoon. Please share this with your family and friends.

Videos of several tornadoes that touched down in Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri were posted to YouTube:

As well as plenty of hail footage:

Who is building what in Sochi for 2014 Olympics

SOCHI, Russia (AP) ? The cost of the 2014 Winter Games in the Russian city of Sochi now stands at $51 billion, making it the most expensive Olympics in history. More than half of the bill is being footed by Russian state-controlled companies and business tycoons. A look at what the major players are building in Sochi:

THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT

The government is building five of the six arenas in the coastal cluster, which will host indoor competitions such as ice skating, for about $10 billion. Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak, who is overseeing the Sochi preparations, said the government will spend a total of about $18 billion before the games begin in February 2014.

GAZPROM

The world's largest natural gas producer, a publicly traded company, has many Olympic projects in Sochi, including building a cross-country skiing and biathlon center, one of the three Olympic villages and an Alpine ski resort. Gazprom is also building a power station in a Sochi suburb for about $740 million and a pipeline to bring gas supplies to the Sochi area for about $1 billion. The total price tag for Gazprom stands at roughly $3 billion.

POTANIN

Metals tycoon Vladimir Potanin, whose fortune is estimated at $14.3 billion, started building the Roza Khutor ski resort before Sochi was picked to hold the 2014 Olympics. Infrastructure required by the International Olympic Committee cost $500 million, boosting his total bill in Sochi to $2.5 billion. In addition to the Alpine ski runs at Roza Khutor, Potanin's holding company, Interros, has built an Olympic village and a snowboarding and freestyle park.

DERIPASKA

Metals tycoon Oleg Deripaska, estimated to be worth $8.5 billion, is mainly involved in infrastructure development in Sochi. His holding company, Basic Element, is building an Olympic village, a sea port and has just finished revamping the Sochi airport. Basic Element expects to spend a total of $1.4 billion in Sochi.

SBERBANK

The state-controlled bank is set to spend at least $1.3 billion building a media center in Sochi, as well as a ski jump complex.

Tree health policy to 'stop spread'

Strengthening biosecurity at UK borders and a plant health risk register would help protect the nation's trees from pests and diseases, a report concludes.

The recommendations were made by the Tree Health and Plant Biosecurity Expert Taskforce, convened by the UK environment secretary.

Tree experts have warned that UK tree species face an "unprecedented threat" from non-native pests and diseases.

The report was unveiled on Monday at the 100th Chelsea Garden Show.

The taskforce, convened in November 2012 after the potential devastating ash dieback disease was recorded for the first time in the wider environment, to review domestic and international risks to UK trees and shrubs from new and emerging pests and diseases.

Taskforce chairman Prof Chris Gilligan said: "The UK needs to be better prepared for threats to plant health.

"In the last few years alone, several previously unknown pests and pathogens have emerged, posing significant risks to the UK's crops as well as trees in woodlands, commercial forests and in urban environments."

Plant scientists at a number of government bodies, including the Forestry Commission and the Food and Environment Research Agency (Fera), have warned that the threat from pathogens was continuing to grow as a result of increasing levels of international trade and travel, and changes to the environment.

Import ban

Environment Secretary Owen Paterson welcomed the report's recommendations, adding that plant health was one of Defra's top priorities.

"We are already working on implementing a plant health risk register and are putting plans in place to predict and control the spread of tree diseases," he said.

Symptoms of ash dieback

  • Diseased saplings typically display dead tops and side shoots.
  • Lesions often found at base of dead side shoots.
  • Lesions on branch or stem can cause wilting of foliage above.
  • Disease affects mature trees by killing off new growth.

Mr Paterson added that he planned to hold a summit "with all the main people, groups and businesses who have an interest in our trees".

He also revealed that he planned to impose an import ban on sweet chestnut trees from areas where sweet chestnut blight was considered a problem.

Recently, the Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) called for an import ban as the blight (caused by the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica), usually fatal to infected trees, continued to spread through much of mainland Europe.

The UK had a close escape in late 2011 when the disease was identified at nine locations but the infected trees were destroyed before the fungus became established in the surrounding environment.

Speaking to the BBC, Fera's head of plant health public engagement Dr David Slawson echoed Prof Gilligan's views: "Firstly, it is important to say that is very difficult to prioritise what are the main threats but I would always say the main threat is 'unknown'."

"It may sound slightly alarming, but the likes of Phytophthora ramorum was not defined by science when it started causing problems."

The Forestry Commission said P. ramorum, first found in the UK in 2002, infected few trees until 2009 when the pathogen was found infecting and killing large numbers of Japanese larch trees - an important economic timber species - in South West England.

Since then, it has been recorded in all other British nations and the Northern Ireland.

Prof Gilligan, head of Cambridge University's School of Biological Sciences, said:"By increasing our understanding of what pests and diseases are the biggest threats and how best to mitigate their impact, we can minimise potentially devastating outbreaks."

The report was launched at the Stop the Spread show garden at the Chelsea Garden Show, which was designed to contrast "the beauty of a British garden with the potentially damaging effects that plant pests, diseases and invasive non-native species could have on our gardens, woodlands and countryside".

Sony Xperia UL announced for Japan: 5-inch 1080p display and 15-frame burst photography skills (video)

Sony Xperia UL announced for Japan 5inch 1080p display and 15frame burst photography skills video

The FCC may have spoiled the surprise, but Sony's now gone official with yet another smartphone and this one's for its native Japan. The Xperia UL appears to be a slightly thicker riff on the Xperia Z, matching the display of the company's early-2013 flagship, with a quad-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro (APQ8064) ticking behind the 5-inch 1080p screen. It's worth noting that it's a substantial resolution bump from the similar-looking 720p NTT DoCoMo Xperia A. Although it's not the Snapdragon 600 rumored, Qualcomm's S4 Pro flexes its muscle through Exmor RS 13-megapixel camera sensor, offering up the ability to capture 15 frames in a second. NFC, naturally, is already in attendance as well as the Felica wireless payment system. You'll also get the benefits of both a physical camera button and water (IPX5/8) and dust resistance (IP5X) -- two features in tandem that should help separate it from Sony's pair of existing 5-inch 1080p smartphones. The Xperia UL will launch on KDDI's au network in white, black and hot pink colors on May 25th. Check out the obligatory close-up ad after the break.

Update: The Xperia UL runs on an S4 Pro processor, not the Snapdragon 600 initially stated.
