Hacked screenshots show support for money transfer on Facebook Messenger

Facebook might soon let you transfer money to your loved ones on its standalone messaging app.  Based on hacked screenshots taken by Stanford computer science student Andrew Aude, there is a button to initiate and send money. And you don't have to worry about your News Feed knowing about the transaction since it is kept private.

There will be an in-app pincode you have to enter to make sure the money goes to the intended individual. According to Aude, the feature currently only allows money transfer using a debit card.

Microsoft RoomAlive turns your room into an Xbox game

Microsoft hopes to bring augmented reality gaming into your whole living room with its new proof-of-concept demo, RoomAlive. The concept makes use of six Kinect sensors and projectors to create that AR experience in a room. It'll let you reach out to hit objects or interact with the game using any surface in the room. Of course, it'll be too expensive to bring this setup to the market at the moment but Microsoft is hoping this will be part of the future of gaming.
