Today's Story Highlights

Vizio Knocks on PC Market's Door
Vizio will roll out five new PCs at CES 2012. Together with the
company's HDTVs, these will constitute an attack on the multiscreen home
entertainment market, which Apple dominates at the high end. Vizio's
plans are "part of the battle for the living room, where you've got all
your devices able to share information and talk to each other, making
them a tech ecosystem," said Retrovo's Andrew Eisner.

Symantec Source Code Scattered to the Winds
Source code for two security applications from Symantec has been stolen
and posted on the Web. The hackers claiming responsibility, who call
themselves the "Lords of Dharmaraja," say they obtained code for the
Norton Antivirus application. However, it appears they actually got
their hands on code for two enterprise products, Symantec End Point 11
and Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 10.2 instead.

The Rebirth of the Hybrid Laptop: AMD's Opportunity
Last week, an announcement from Lenovo got me thinking of Rory Read,
AMD's new CEO, who made some cryptic remarks about AMD going into ARM
and no longer chasing Intel. Now, there are a number of hybrid or
crossover products that will be coming out this year, with the most
interesting being a cross between a notebook and tablet. This design
will likely be the showcase for Windows 8.

All Eyes on Ubuntu as CES Draws Near
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious," a very
wise man once said, and that's surely as true in the tech world as it is
in the rest of life. Maybe that's why so many have been so intrigued by
Canonical's cryptic announcement last week about its plans for this
week's CES event.

Action Movie FX: Have Fun Blowing Up the Neighborhood
A free and unassuming little video effects app tapped into my practical
joker personality this holiday season, and I just have to share it:
Action Movie FX by Bad Robot Interactive. What does it do? It lets you
film a short scene and then apply big-action Hollywood movie special
effects to it.

Corning to Debut Cutting-Edge Gorilla Glass at CES
Corning will be at CES next week, but unlike most of the exhibitors
there, it won't be debuting a sexy new gadget. Corning will be showing
off Gorilla Glass 2 alongside the newest smartphones, tablets and other
miracles in computing. Corning is not revealing much about the updated
product other than to say it will address emerging trends in technology.
