Today's Story Highlights

What's So Special About an Amazon Tablet
Amazon's going to make an announcement on Wednesday, and the smart money
is on the online retail giant unveiling its long-awaited tablet device.
Though Amazon has officially been quiet about whether such a tablet even
exists, rumors hold that it will run Android 2.1 and cost considerably
less than the iPad's $500 starting price.

Brain Scans Paint Picture of What the Mind's Eye Sees
Reading a brain with a machine to get the information in it has been the
stuff of sci-fi for years. Now, scientists at UC Berkeley's Gallant Lab
have demonstrated that it's possible. The scientists used functional
magnetic resonance imaging to reconstruct movies subjects watched by
reading their brain activity.

IBM's Sam Palmisano Shoots for CEO of the Decade
Last decade, Steve Jobs was the clear leader, and he ended the decade as
the top CEO. We are early in this decade, but already Sam Palmisano has
jumped out to an early lead. Like Jobs, it isn't because he is lobbying
for this title -- it is because he is already being recognized by peers
as being the best there is. Interestingly, this came through at an IBM
Leadership event last week.

Will Linux Be Locked Out of Windows 8 PCs?
No sooner had bloggers decided that Microsoft's widely trumpeted Windows
8 wouldn't pose any serious threat to Linux than a whole new wrinkle
emerged. "Wrinkle" is actually a bit of a euphemism, in this case; in
fact, it was the prospect of a computing landscape that could change
life as Linux users know it.

Songify: Get Ready for Some Hilarious Ear Worms
I stumbled upon Songify, a free app for iPhone and newer iOS-based
devices, when I ran into the wildly popular video about a homespun chick
named Debbie who supposedly recorded an eHarmony video introduction bio.
The YouTube video is called "Songify This: Can't Hug Every Cat," and
it's freaking hilarious.
