Today's Story Highlights

Xiaomi's Mi 4i Spreads in Asia

Chinese wunderkind smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi is taking its flagship
Mi 4i smartphone to Hong Kong and Singapore, with availability slated
for next Tuesday. Designed especially for emerging markets, the Mi 4i
has been wildly successful in India, where it launched two weeks ago and
reportedly sold 40,000 units in less than 15 seconds. The Mi 4i is the
first Xiaomi phone to run Android Lollipop.

Twitter's Timid Anti-Trolling Tweaks

Twitter recently amended its rules in yet another attempt to crack down
on the abuses perpetuated by online trolls, but the changes may do
little to protect victims. Its latest move was an extension of its ban
on threats of violence against others or the promotion of violence
against others. The company decided to let its support team lock down
abusive accounts for specific periods of time.

Oculus VR Promises a Rift for All in 2016

An exact date hasn't been set, but Facebook's Oculus VR has announced
that the highly anticipated consumer version of its Rift headset will
launch in the first quarter of 2016. Preordering will begin later this
year. More details will emerge about the consumer version of the Rift in
the coming weeks, the company said, including information about
unannounced made-for-VR games and experiences.

EM Drive Stirs Blood of Hopeful Space Explorers

It may not be warp drive, but EM drive is perhaps even more exciting,
because it has a better chance of being science fact than fiction. EM
drive technology theoretically could allow a trip to the moon in four
hours, to Mars in 70 days, and to Alpha Centaurii, the star system
nearest to our own, in roughly 130 years. It would take thousands of
years using today's space travel technologies.
