The Wall Street Journal cites "people briefed on the company's plans" in its report, who claim Google plans to produce 4,000 of the prototype tablets next month. The tablets, which are part of Project Tango, could be released ahead of Google's I/O conference, which is scheduled for the end of June.

EBay Inc said that hackers raided its network three months ago, accessing some 145 million user records in what is poised to go down as one of the biggest data breaches in history, based on the number of accounts compromised.
It advised customers to change their passwords immediately, saying they were among the pieces of data stolen by cyber criminals who carried out the attack between late February and early March.
EBay spokeswoman Amanda Miller told Reuters late on Wednesday that those passwords were encrypted and that the company had no reason to believe the hackers had broken the code that scrambled them.
"There is no evidence of impact on any eBay customers," Miller said. "We don't know that they decrypted the passwords because it would not be easy to do."
She said The Hackers gained access to 145 million records of which they copied "a large part". Those records contained passwords as well as email addresses, birth dates, mailing addresses and other personal information, but not financial data such as credit card numbers.
Miller also said the company has hired FireEye Inc's Mandiant forensics division to help investigate the matter. Mandiant is known for publishing a February 2013 report that described what it said was a Shanghai-based hacking group linked to the Peoples Liberation Army.
EBay earlier said a large number of accounts may have been compromised, but declined to say how many.
Security experts advised EBay customers to be on the alert for fraud, especially if they used the same passwords for other accounts.

Amazon looms after strengthening their backend
The $75-billion e-commerce giant Amazon is cranking up its India play, spreading to territories where domestic companies currently enjoy a stranglehold.Amazon India, which started marketplace operation just about a year ago,In June 2013 offering books, movies and television shows for sale.With its rapidly expanding apparel offerings, Amazon India is working on a chain of customer requirements that will place it squarely against established Indian players like Myntra and Jabong, which focus on fashion and lifestyle.
Amazon started their operations in India about a year ago and they spent the first 10 months in only strengthening our backend," An Amazon person said. Now, the online retailer has started focusing on building its brand in the country as well.
Amazon's rapid expansion in the segment comes at a time when the online fashion space, which touched $559 million in 2013, is witnessing a frenzy among stakeholders for a larger pie. Besides market leaders like Myntra and Jabong, Flipkart, which reported $1 billion in annualised sales in March, also sell apparels on its platform. Flipkart is on the verge of acquiring Myntra to ramp up its presence in the fashion space.
"We work the customer backwards. Hence we pick up a particular customer segment and try to solve all needs before moving to the next," Vikas Purohit, category leader for fashion, Amazon India, told. "We believe there is room for multiple formats and players, and most importantly for innovation," said Purohit, adding that the company is relentlessly focussing on expanding brands on its platform apart from innovating on customer touch points.
"We are committed to investing aggressively over the long term and are relentlessly focusing on and raising the bar for the online shopping experience in India," he said.
The company has been consolidating its position in the country ever since its India launch in June 2013 and has launched two new capabilities to let Indian traders self-register on the marketplace and start selling within a day, without any third-party intervention.
According to retail advisory firm Technopak, the online segment at present constitutes just 0.4% of the $478-billion retail market in India and is likely to rise to 2-4% in the next five years, with fashion and lifestyle products comprising nearly one-fourth of the market.
According to Pragya Singh, associate vice-president, retail, at Technopak, Indian companies are likely to have prepared themselves to take on Amazon as the development was inevitable, she said, adding that future consolidation in the sector could be an attempt to counter bigger players like Amazon.
The apparel segment of Amazon provides over 12,000 contemporary and traditional styles from more than 90 apparel brands offered by private labels, besides national and regional retailers to choose from. The company's dedicated sunglasses store has more than 2,800 styles catering to men, women and children. It also offers an assortment of accessories to women.
Amazon,which launched an intimate apparel store for women this week featuring over 1,100 styles of lingerie and nightwear from more than 35 national and international brands, also has a health and personal care store aimed at providing women a one-stop solution for their daily necessities. Incidentally, a survey by Technopak said the female population accounts for 40% of India's internet users.

VLC Player for Windows 8.1 Coming, Developer unveils new Screenshots
VLC’s kickstarter to raise $75,000 in an effort to create a free Metro Win8 App. The project has been behind schedule and we reported on their progress in June. In October the team finally got the video portion of the app working, but not the audio. Later they finished the audio implementation and submitted it for certification from Microsoft. Unfortunately, it was rejected by Microsoft due to audio crashing issue. VideoLan team was working on to fix the audio related issue and they are expected to re-submit the app sometime next week.
“We've worked a lot on the audio crashes, and finally decided to rewrote the audio stack for Windows Metro platforms. Hopefully, this will allow us to finally pass the Store validation. This kept us busy during the holidays,” a post on Kickstarter reads.
Mean while, VideoLAN President Jean-Baptiste Kempf sent these screenshots to Neowin to show off their new UI they have been working on in the past weeks. As you can see, the UI looks almost similar to Zune Desktop.
