Yahoo to enable encryption of emails for its users by 2015

Yahoo is joining the campaign to secure your emails by next year. The company’s chief information security officer Alex Stamos said they will offer users the option to send end-to-end encrypted emails by 2015 through a browser plugin. Stamos said Yahoo will bootstrap plugin with Google’s own browser extension to encrypt emails and they will make the two services compatible.

Early Moto 360 review reveals more details about Motorola's new wearable

The Motorola Moto 360 is considered the most premium of the three Android Wear devices launched by Google and coming later this year. Moto 360 is the only one conforming to a round face and also features various pluses that make it the Android device worth waiting for. A lucky reviewer, Luca Viscardi, over at Mister Gadget has had an early review of the device and has revealed some interesting tidbits.

The Moto 360's battery life is good for two and a half days, its display works well under bright sunlight, it has an iP7 water resistance rating, it will charge 'wirelessly' via a Qi charger and it seems there is a black bar at the bottom of the screen that's somewhat persistent and which encroaches on the illusion that the 360's face is perfectly round. Aside from these insights, Luca has posted some images of the Moto 360 as well. Is this the Android Wear device you've been waiting for and do these revelations change your initial perception of the smart watch? Let us know.

Spotify sending out a limited number of invites to Canadian users

You’ve been waiting for it and now you can have it… almost at least. Spotify has started sending out invites to people who signed up on their page saying they were interested in using the service once it went live. At the moment, only a limited number of invitations are being sent out but it is said that a full-scale launch in Canada will be happening in the coming weeks. They haven’t announced how much the subscription price would be but reports claim it will be similar to the US$10 fee they charge in America. The good news for those getting first dibs on the service is they won’t have to pay anything just yet. They will charged only when the service goes live for everyone.
