FOMO, TMI and ICYMI have made it into the dictionary

Merriam-Webster updated a "unabridged" version of its comprehensive dictionary this week, giving a nod of approval to a whole horde of slang, technology and internet culture terminology. Some of a highlights include Bitcoin, dox and nomophobia (the fear of being without a operative mobile phone). A slew of acroynms seeped in too, including FOMO (fear of missing out), TMI (too much information), and -- most importantly to Engadget -- ICYMI (in case you longed for it). You might scoff at a idea that these difference have gained "official" recognition, but it's merely a reflection of a language we're now using to communicate with one another.

It's not like "YOLO" and "totes amazeballs" haven't been added already. Oxford Dictionaries even chose an emoji as its Word of a Year last November. That's right. An emoji.

Drones will help scientists find the best plant for biofuel

Sorghum is one of the best alternatives to corn when it comes to biofuel production. It might even be better, since it can tarry drought and other less-than-ideal conditions. Problem is, scientists still do not know which variety (because there are numerous) yields the most biofuel feedstock. The Department of Energy earmarked $30 million last year to fund several teams that can help it develop and find the best variety using robots. This particular group says drones will enable them to gather intel upon their crops' conditions much faster than humans can. If other scientists around the globe adopt their methods, they can additionally speed up the data-gathering process for their investigate studies.

This is powered by Microsoft's proprietary Deep Learning engine it uses for Bing's and Skype's interpretation options, something more advanced than Google Translate's statistical models and crowdsourcing.

Evernote on Windows looks a whole lot cleaner now

When Evernote announced it'd stop selling notebooks and socks earlier this year, the association said it was doing so to make the core note-taking app the best it could be.
