Today's Story Highlights

Lenovo Yoga Gives Notebook, Tablet Concepts a New Twist
Lenovo unveiled its IdeaPad Yoga recently at CES, showing off a notebook
with a 360-degree hinge designed to be used in a variety of ways in
addition to the conventional laptop style. The Ultrabook, which will run
on Windows 8, can be opened and folded back on itself to be used as a
tablet or e-reader with touchscreen capabilities.

Updating the ROM in Your Mobile Device
Remember this: The phone or tablet you purchased is yours. It does not
belong to the carrier that you bought it from despite the fact that the
device is emblazoned with its corporate identity, logo or splash screen.
This outright ownership you have in the device means that you can do
pretty much whatever you like with it once you've walked out of the
store.

Mint With Cinnamon: A New Sweet Spot for Desktop Linux?
Well CES is nearing its conclusion for another year, winding down an
event that may well have brought Linux more mainstream attention than
any other in the show's four-decades-long history. Ubuntu had its share
of the limelight, but it's another Linux distro entirely that's captured
many bloggers' attention. Linux Mint, that is -- and its tantalizing new
desktop environment, Cinnamon.

Intel to Make Mobile Incursion via China
Intel has finally leaped into the mobile sector. CEO Paul Otellini
announced the company's entry during a keynote address at CES. Otellini
revealed major agreements with both Motorola and Lenovo to put Intel
inside smartphones. Intel will show up in Lenovo phones in China during
the first half of 2012 and in Motorola handsets this year.

New Legal Challenge - Who Owns Followers on Twitter?
On Jan. 1, I found that these Twitter names had hordes of followers:
@ladygaga had 17,554,645, @Starbucks had 1,927,255, and @noahkravitz had
24,273. If you have a Twitter account, you can easily see all of who the
followers are. Having Twitter followers doesn't mean you get to keep
them, though. Followers can unfollow on their own. Or, an employer might
try to claim the followers belong to it.
