Nokia experiments with location-based white space services in Cambridge, UK (video)
Following news of the first successful white space trials in Cambridge, UK, Nokia is now touting its research in the area with a demonstration of location-based services for the unlicensed spectrum. Traditionally, proponents of white space usage have positioned this unused portion of the airwaves as a viable, low-cost method of data transmission, but the Nokia folks have now demonstrated its ability to pinpoint one's location with much greater accuracy than either WiFi or cellular networks. Think of it as a counterpoint to NFC, if you will, but in the following clip, we're shown how an individual might move throughout a museum, and as they approach various exhibits, one's smartphone could provide supplemental information for the nearby artifacts. Beyond its use in museums, Nokia also foresees the technology as useful in the retail space, where businesses may provide consumers with promotions as they walk by. Currently, the necessary equipment to make this all possible is much too large to fit within a typical smartphone, but Nokia hypothesizes that the necessary chipsets and industry standards may be in place by 2015. Until then, you can dream of what might be with the following video.

Bruce Willis Is As 'Kick-Ass' As Ever In 'Die Hard 5'

One thing's for sure when the next "Die Hard" flick hits theaters: Aging action stud John McClane is no worse for the wear and just as ready to rumble as he was back in 1988, when the first film hit theaters.
With Bruce Willis back for the franchise's fifth film, "A Good Day to Die Hard," producer Tom Rothman has made it clear that the butt-kicking star is just as badass as ever.
"[We've] started this week, just started. It's all set in Russia," he told MTV News at CinemaCon in Las Vegas. "Well there's bookend scenes in New York, but it's John McClane, goes to Russia and I think the technical term ... is f---s everything up. And the fun part about it, though, is there's a great moment where he says 'It's good a day as any to die.' "
Sure, McClane is throwing about his signature swag in the film, but Rothman assures fans that the movie also has a lot of heart, courtesy of the relationship between McClane and his son, Jack (played by Jai Courtney).
"He thinks his kid is a screw-up," he explained. "But, in fact, it's the opposite. The kid is more like the father than the father thinks. So it's very, like all the best of the classic 'Die Hards,' very emotionally driven and very kick-ass."
Director John Moore of "Max Payne" and the "Omen" remake is set to helm "Die Hard 5" with Skip Woods penning the script. "A Good Day to Die Hard" is a follow-up to 2007's "Live Free or Die Hard."

Meizu plans ICS update for MX and M9 this June, slaps it with a Flyme OS skin
Back in November, Meizu's CEO Jack Wong casually mentioned an update to Ice Cream Sandwich would be making its way to MX and M9 handsets, he just didn't specify when exactly. Well, that all important tidbit's been cleared up today with official news pegging a software upgrade to Android 4.0 for sometime this June. Owners of either device won't necessarily be getting a pure injection of Google's latest dessert when that OTA hits, but rather a skinned version known as Flyme OS 1.0 that purportedly brings with it a host of improvements. Among that list of supposed refinements are a more logical interface, ability to backup and sync data, in addition to cloud storage. So when summer finally rolls around and the rest of the Googlefied smartphone universe is still kicking it with Gingerbread, feel free to sit back and gloat. Official presser in all its hyperbolic wonder after the break.
