Carrie Underwood Welcomes Baby Boy

Country superstar Carrie Underwood sent her Instagram followers into a frenzy Tuesday morning with the first published photo of her newborn baby boy. She also revealed the name of the child, who is the first for the singer and her husband, professional hockey player Mike Fisher.

A close-up image of the baby's fingers was accompanied on the social media posting by the caption that revealed the news of the birth: "Tiny hands and tiny feet...God has blessed us with an amazing gift!" Underwood writes. "Isaiah Michael Fisher — born on February 27. Welcome to the world, sweet angel!"

Although the name was kept under wraps until the Instagram post, Underwood had already revealed the baby's gender on live TV, during the 2014 CMA Awards in November. Well, actually, her co-host Brad Paisley is the one who spilled the baby beans, in a comical moment that proved to be one of the highlights of the show.

The actual reveal for the happy couple took place, however, at a private dinner. "Just the two of us in a nicer setting, but we both knew," Underwood explained to ABC in January. "So, that was just confirming our suspicions. We didn't really speak of it before, because we were both just like, 'Whatever. It's all good.' But we knew it was a boy."

There's no word yet on whether Isaiah is a family name, a biblical reference (Underwood and Fisher are devout Christians) or just a name the couple liked. But it's probably safe to say that the singer got her way over the Nashville Predator when it came to naming their son. Fisher joked with his own social media followers that he was rooting for "Fly."

Qualcomm teases Snapdragon 820 while launching Sense ID fingerprint scanner

Qualcomm has announced a new fingerprint scanner destined for smartphones, called Sense ID , which uses ultrasonic sound waves to map the surface of your finger. Previous methods of fingerprint recognition used high-resolution capacitive sensors, but switching to ultrasonic sensors has a number of benefits. Firstly, these types of sensors are more accurate than their capacitive counterparts, as they're able to recognize the pores and ridges on your finger for increased security. They're also not as susceptible to moisture as previous sensors, and can work through glass, sapphire, plastic and even metal. Sense ID sensors will be compatible initially with Snapdragon 810 and 425 SoCs, although you'll eventually see them supported across the entire range of Snapdragon 400, 600 and 800 series SoCs. As well as launching Sense ID, Qualcomm has teased their upcoming flagship SoC, the Snapdragon 820 . Qualcomm has designed their own 64-bit capable ARMv8 cores for this SoC...

First Take: Back to the future — Nasdaq 5000 circa 2015

The once-deflated Nasdaq has fully reflated. For the past 15 years, chatter about Nasdaq 5000 was mainly in the past tense, a historical remnant of the dot-com stock bubble era. But today, for the first time since March 2000, the Nasdaq composite — powered by Apple, the world's most valuable company and maker of the iPhone, and a fresh wave of innovation in social media, digital technology and biotech — is back above 5000 and very much alive in the current events debate. Way back when, on March 9, 2000, when the Internet was in diapers and investors were betting that the World Wide Web would be a moneymaking investment of epic proportions, the Nasdaq and its army of newly minted dot-com stocks skyrocketed to its first close above 5000, up an eye-popping 111% from a year earlier. At the time, "Nasdaq 5000" elicited a 1969 "man on the moon"-type awe from investors ranging from Wall Street titans to taxi drivers and hairdressers who viewed "Net stocks...

GOOGLE IS PLANNING TO OFFER ITS OWN CELLULAR DATA NETWORK

BY DANIELLE HOWE Move on over, traditional phone plans. Following weeks of rumors that it would introduce its own cell-data network, Google confirmed reports that it will be indeed taking on the endeavor. The search-engine giant made the announcement at the wireless show in Barcelona, Spain, on Monday that it will sell data plans for smartphones and tablets in the next coming months. It hasn’t been revealed which wireless carrier would be hosting the Google service, but various reports suggest that Sprint and T-Mobile are the frontrunners. The move comes as a game changer for the wireless network market, though Google insists that its plan is not to become a huge competitor in that field. “We don’t intend to be a network operator at scale,” said Sundar Pichai, Google’s senior vice president of products. “Our goal here is to drive a set of innovations which we think the ecosystem should evolve and hopefully will get traction.” The decision co...
