Corning’s Lotus Glass promised a world full of thinner, more advanced mobile displays when it was unveiled in 2011, but it hasn’t always been easy to build with the volumes or features that customers want. Enter the company’s new Lotus XT Glass as the solution: clients can produce it more reliably at high temperatures, leading to more usable panels for our LCDs and OLEDs. The improved yields should not only result in larger device volumes than the original Lotus Glass could muster, but push the technological limits — Corning notes that hotter manufacturing allows for brighter, sharper and more efficient screens. The glass is commercially available today, although we’ll still need to wait for gadget makers to choose, implement and ship it before we notice the XT difference.

TOWN OF GORDON, Wis. (AP) ? Firefighters battling a 9,000-acre in northwestern Wisconsin have contained the massive blaze.

Department of Natural Resources spokesman Robert Manwell said Thursday the fire in Douglas and Bayfield counties is 100 percent contained. Manwell says fire crews will be handling small brush fires and reworking the lines that contain the wildfire.

Authorities opened all roads in the area overnight and some residents headed back to their homes. The fire, which began Tuesday, destroyed 17 homes and 30 other structures. The DNR says no one has been hurt in the largest forest fire to hit northern Wisconsin in 33 years.

Gov. Scott Walker has declared a state of emergency in Douglas and Bayfield counties, which makes the Wisconsin National Guard available for recovery efforts. The governor plans to tour the area Thursday.

Today’s three-hour-long Google I/O keynote came with plenty of announcements, but the company mostly assured us that it is focused on building frameworks that can benefit developers and consumers. We saw a more unified company that needed three hours in one session to get their message across. Breaking today’s keynote up into two days would have disrupted the momentum coming out of a company that closed the day at an all-time high on the stock market. Key areas of the business saw updates, all relaying the important foundation necessary to move Google forward over the next 10 years. From search to maps, everything is getting a new coat of paint, a new polished experience and a focus from every team within the company. The only announcement that didn’t fit into a “category” was its new music subscription service. Some are calling it a Spotify-killer, but to us, it seemed like a necessary and inevitable announcement. Android The day started out with Android, with the news that more than?48 billion apps have been installed from the Google Play store, thanks to 900 million activations of Android devices. That’s great news for developers, showing that consumers really care. To make their apps better, Google introduced a new tool called the Android Studio, which makes developing in multiple languages and for multiple screen sizes easier than ever. The takeaway is that Android is massive, is giving Apple a run for its money and all developers should consider building apps on its platform first, rather than second. Chrome That little project that Google worked on, you know…the browser? It’s the No. 1 browser in the world, to the tune of?750 million active users, and Google isn’t afraid to tell you all about it.?Oh, it’s also a platform upon which to build apps, so developers should be doing that too. The takeaway is that if you’re building apps on the web, people love Chrome and Chrome offers all of the open tools you need to build gorgeous things. Google+ Whether you think that Google+ is a Facebook competitor or not, the 41 features introduced today will get your attention. The stream itself, which now has 190M monthly active users, is now three-columned and has interactive animations all over the place. Google says that the stream was flat, so it needed a fresh take. If you’re into taking photos, Google has finally integrated all of Nik’s

Today at BlackBerry Live, CEO Thorsten Heins announced the availability of BB 10.1 for the Z10. This first major update to BlackBerry’s next-gen mobile platform starts rolling out today and packs a moderate amount of updates. “By the end of this week, the vast majority of our international carriers will offer this update,” Heins detailed. “US carriers will offer it by the end of the month.” This version brings more classic BlackBerry features to BB 10. Phone contacts can now feature personalized notifications with custom ringtones, vibrations, and LED flashes. Further customization is available with custom notifications for different email accounts. HDR support should improve the Z10′s lackluster camera performance. The software also updates the camera software with improved red eye reduction. The update also supercharges the BlackBerry Hub. Everything should be more fluid and seemless as the Hub can send PIN to Pin messages and offer contact suggestions. International carriers should get the update by the end of the week with availability on US carriers by the end of May 2013. Look for the update here or through the Z10′s software update section.

President Obama told donors like Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake (who was wearing hipster glasses), and Tommy Hilfiger that Washington gridlock is pretty much Rush Limbaugh‘s fault on Monday evening at a fundraiser at Harvey Weinstein‘s house in New York’s Greenwich Village. Obama admitted that his theory ? that after the 2012 election, the Republican “fever” would break, and they’d decide to co-sign some of his agenda ? was wrong. “My thinking was when we beat them in 2012 that might break the fever, and it?s not quite broken yet,” Obama said, according to the White House pool report. This is because of a certain corpulent radio host. “I genuinely believe there are Republicans out there who would like to work with us but they?re fearful of their base and they?re concerned about what Rush Limbaugh might say about them. And as a consequence we get the kind of gridlock that makes people cynical about government.”

RELATED: When Anti-Government Becomes Anti-Business

In June 2012, Obama had predicted that being a lame duck would actually be a perk. He told donors:

“I believe that if we’re successful in this election, when we’re successful in this election, that the fever may break, because there’s a tradition in the Republican Party of more common sense than that,…

My hope, my expectation, is that after the election, now that it turns out that the goal of beating Obama doesn’t make much sense because I’m not running again, that we can start getting some cooperation again.”

And if Republicans refuse to cooperate? Well, unlike the president, they do face reelection. Obama suggested he would crush them in the midterms. “If there are folks who are more interested in winning elections than they are thinking about the next generation then I want to make sure there are consequences to that.”

VATICAN CITY (AP) ? The Vatican is getting back into its centuries-old tradition of arts patronage with its first-ever exhibit at the Venice Biennale, commissioning a biblically inspired show about creation, destruction and renewal for one of the world’s most prestigious contemporary arts festivals.

The Holy See on Tuesday unveiled details of its Venice pavilion, which opens June 1 and marks the Vatican’s most significant step yet in a renewed effort to engage contemporary artists and intellectuals in ways that once created masterpieces such as the Sistine Chapel and Bernini Colonnade.

Yet the exhibit “Creation, Un-Creation, Re-Creation” is not religous art: There are no crucifixes or images of the Madonna or sacred objects that might find themselves on a church altar. Rather, the works explore themes that are important to the church and were executed by internationally recognized contemporary artists, including Czech photographer Josef Koudelka, who were given broad leeway to create.

The initiative is the brainchild of Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, the Vatican’s culture minister who was considered a papal contender in the conclave that elected Pope Francis. An Italian biblical scholar, Ravasi quotes Hegel as easily as Amy Winehouse ? in multiple languages.

He has long lamented that the Holy See, whose artistic treasures fill the Vatican Museums and then some, has all but severed its ties with a contemporary art world that often finds in the Catholic Church inspiration for blasphemous art (think Andres Serranno’s “Piss Christ”).

Remarkably, the Venice Biennale, which features pavillions for individual nations as well as a curated show of international artists, has provided a very visible venue for some of that blasphemy ever since its inception.

In the Bienniale’s 1895 first edition, the Patriarch of Venice asked the mayor of Venice to ban the exhibit’s most talked-about work, Giacomo Grosso’s “Supreme Meeting,” which featured a coffin surrounded by naked women. Religious leaders feared it would offend the morals of visitors.

The mayor refused to take it down, and the picture went on to win a popular prize at the exhibition’s end.

Church officials complained about the 1990 edition, when the American artists’ collective Gran Fury, a branch of the gay activist group ACT UP, showed “Pope Piece,” an image of John Paul II and an image of a penis. It was meant as a critique of the pontiff’s opposition to condoms as a way to fight AIDS.

And in 2001, Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan exhibited his scandalous “La Nona Ora,” or “The Ninth Hour” ? a life-size figure of John Paul being crushed by a black meteorite.

Art experts suggested the Vatican’s initiative to have its own pavilion was perhaps a response to such perceived attacks.

“There is something about modern art that is resolutely secular,” said Pepe Karmel, associate professor of art history at New York University and former art critic. “There is not a great deal of first-rate religious art from the 20th and 21st centuries.”Ravasi, though, is intent on changing that.

“This for us is a germ, a seed to return to the hope that there can be even more commissions between churchmen, ecclesial figures and artists ? quality contemporary artists,” Ravasi told reporters.

For its inaugural Venice commission, the Vatican picked three well-known artists and art groups and gave them a relatively simple source of inspiration: the first 11 chapters of the book of Genesis. The text describes Creation, the introduction of evil, destruction and sin into the world, followed by hope for mankind in a renewed creation.

Being Catholic wasn’t a criterion: Vatican officials said they weren’t even sure of the artists’ faiths. Rather, the artists were selected based on the body of their pre-existing work.

The Milan-based multimedia group “Studio Azzurro” was selected for the “Creation” part of the three-space exhibit: It features a darkened room with a mass of stone in the center that when touched create images and sounds that recall the animal and vegetable kingdoms.

Czech photographer Koudelka provided the “Un-Creation” section, a series of 18 photos and three tryptichs exploring destruction: war, environmental degradation, and the conflict between nature and industry. Koudelka famously photographed Soviet-led tanks invading Prague in 1968 ? images that were smuggled out to the United States and published anonymously because of fear that his family would suffer reprisals.

The third installment, “Re-Creation,” was given to Australian-born painter Lawrence Carroll, who often employs re-used materials in his work. He created a floor piece and four wall paintings, one of which has a freezing element that causes it to melt and refreeze cyclically.

To provide at least some reference point back to the Vatican’s artistic patrimony, the exhibit opens with an homage by the 20th century Italian painter Tano Festa to Michelangelo, the Sistine Chapel and its depictions of Adam and original sin.

Micol Forti, head of the modern and contemporary art at the Vatican Museums, said her only regret about the Vatican’s selection was that no female artists were included. Four were approached, but none was able to participate, Forti told reporters.

“Given the theme of Genesis and Creation, we would have wanted that voice reflected,” she said.

The Holy See is one of eight countries being represented at the 55th Venice Biennale for the first time, joining Angola, Bahamas, Bahrain, Ivory Coast, Kosovo, Kuwait, Maldives, Paraguay and Tuvalu. In a coincidence, the Holy See pavilion is located in the Sale d’Armi, right next to the Argentine pavillion.

The Argentine-born Pope Francis, known for his humble ways and focus on the poor, hasn’t shown a particular interest in liturgical art or music. Whether Ravasi’s initiative continues remains to be seen, but his office was quick to point out that the ?750,000 ($975,000) pricetag ? which includes the payment to the artists and Biennale organizers ? was entirely covered by corporate sponsorship and private donations.

And the Vatican’s presence at Venice isn’t entirely out of the norm: The Holy See has a long history of participation in international exhibitions dating to the first World’s Fair, the 1851 “Great Exhibition” in London.

The Venice Biennale, which also features the famous summertime Venice film festival, runs through Nov. 24.

'I would lose my job, be fired, and be sued to death' for reading someone's Gmail

Executive Chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt, recently fielded an interview with Peter Sagal of NPR to talk a little bit about Google — and when Schmidt talks, we listen. The entire interview was kept quite casual, but the best parts of course pertained to Schmidt's views on privacy, how he feels about Google Glass and how some of the early principles of Google came to be. A few interesting quotes from the interview:

• On how much Google knows about users: "Well, as much as you'll let us know. We keep information about your searches for 12 to 18 months, and then we forget everything."
• On Googlers being able to read your email: "Yes, and I would lose my job, be fired, and be sued to death… Someone would find out, trust me."
• On keeping things casual at Google: "Well, we actually had to have a rule, we had to have two rules. The first rule – these are both rules I enacted. The first is that you had to wear clothes to work. The second rule is that you have to have fun. You can be serious without wearing a suit, and we wanted to invent the future."
• On what we'll be using Google Glass for: "Well, we don't quite know yet. We have maybe 2,000 of these. We've shipped them out to developers, and we're seeing what they develop. There's obviously issues, shall we say, of appropriateness of how people are going to use these things. There's a right time to have Google Glass on, and there's a right time to have it off, if you take my drift."
• On '20-percent time: "Yeah, that's another one of our ideas is that engineers should spend 20 percent of their time working on whatever they find interesting. Now, before you get too excited, remember, engineers are not that interesting… A lot of the Google inventions came from engineers just screwing around with ideas. And then management would see them, and we'd say, boy, that's interesting. Let's add some more engineers."

NPR has made available a complete transcript of the interview, as well as audio, at the source link below.
