Tag Heuer is the latest watch maker that will foray into the smartwatch market. The luxury watchmaker is expected to launch a smartwatch at Basel World event tomorrow.
Tag Heuer's Chief Executive Jean-Claude Biver told Bloomberg that the company has made some Silicon Valley partnerships for the smartwatch. He stated that "the hardware and the software will come from Silicon Valley. But the watch case, the dial, the design, the idea, the crown, that part of the watch will, of course, be Swiss.” According to PocketLint, the Swiss watch maker has partnered with Google and Intel. The device will be a digital version of the TAG Heuer Carrera, one of the company's best selling traditional timepieces.
There might be a possibility that the watch will run on Google's Android Wear. At present there is no word about the details and specs of the smartwatch.
Opera Software has made its first security focused acquisition. The company has acquired SurfEasy Inc., a leading Toronto-based company that provides an easy-to-use VPN solution for protecting customers’ online privacy and security on smartphones, tablets and computers.
"More and more internet users are starting to question whether they can trust the internet these days, and are actively looking for secure solutions for their phone or computer,”
said Lars Boilesen, CEO, Opera Software.
The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed. A VPN or “virtual private network” provides an added layer of internet security by encrypting all internet traffic sent to and from your device. A VPN therefore allows people to access the internet freely, without the fear of compromising their sensitive data.
“By teaming up with Opera, a global internet company with over 350 million users, we are able to accelerate our vision to give users access to simple applications that let them take back control of their online privacy and freedom,” he continues.
said Chris Houston, founder and CEO, SurfEasy.
SurfEasy`s solutions secure public Wi-Fi, protect users’ online identities and unlock websites. At present, Opera plans to keep SurfEasy’s products operational.

Microsoft has announced Xbox music service has been integrated with the company's cloud storage service, OneDrive. This integration will let users access Music files on One Drive.
Users will simply have to upload your music files to your new “Music” folder in OneDrive and that music will appear in the Xbox Music apps for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 as well as on your Xbox 360 and Xbox One. It must be noted that this is a free service and doesn’t require a paid Music Pass.
The music stored in the One Drive will take the storage space but Microsoft gives every Xbox Music subscriber 100GB of extra space in OneDrive so that will be enough. Microsoft is making the service available in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia starting today. There is no word on a global rollout.

Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing might have accidentally posted a photo of what looks like the next generation Moto 360 smartwatch on the Chinese site Weibo.
The image was soon taken down from the site. As per the leaked image the new Moto 360 seems to come in two different sizes one with the standard version and next with a smaller size. The watch faces are also seen in gold, silver, black, brown and grey and the straps of the watch are seen in various colors.
The design of the watch appears slightly different to the current Moto 360 as the lugs on either side of the face to connect the strap to, rather than attaching it underneath the body.
