Intel Explores New Modes of Communication for Stephen Hawking
World-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking's physical condition is further
deteriorating, and Intel wants to help the famous scientist continue to
share his ideas with the world. Hawking, who at 21 was diagnosed with a
motor neurone disease, has been able to communicate with others through
adaptive speech and computing technologies.

of a number of small utilities, two United States federal government
initiatives to improve cybersecurity were launched this past week.

Lenovo Unwraps Android 4.0 'Ice Cream Sandwich' Smart TV
At the Consumer Electronics Show on Sunday, Lenovo unveiled a smart TV
it says is the world's first to run Android 4.0, or Ice Cream Sandwich.
Powered by a QualComm 8060 Snapdragon dual core CPU, the smart device --
called the "K91" -- features a 55-inch screen, a gamepad, and a user
interface that combines Video On Demand, Internet applications and
traditional TV programs.

Google App's No Babel Fish but Cheaper Than a Personal Interpreter
Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide book series solved the problem of
interplanetary language barriers with a Babel fish -- a little
telepathic alien leech-like animal you stick in your ear that instantly
translates any spoken language via pure brain waves. In the real world,
about the closest we can get to that are online tools like Google
Translate.
