Today's Story Highlights

IBM Discovers How to Store Data in a Dozen Atoms
Researchers at IBM's Almaden Labs have created a 12-atom magnetic memory
bit, in a continuation of work on atomic-level memory storage first
posited in 1959 by American physicist Richard Feynman. Disk drives
currently use about 1 million atoms to store a single bit of
information, according to IBM.

New FB Feature Lets Friends Rock Out to the Same Tune
Facebook is enhancing its music listening options by launching Listening
With Friends, a feature that will let Facebook friends listen to music
together via chat. As the feature rolls out to all of Facebook's 800
million users over the next few weeks, a music note will appear next to
a user's name in the chat list if he or she is listening to a song.

WinPho Struts Its Stuff at CES
After a difficult year spent at the lower depths of the global
smartphone market, Microsoft's Windows Phone devices roared out of
oblivion at CES 2012. Analysts and the media outlets are raving about
the Nokia Lumia 900 and the HTC Titan II, which are displayed at the
event. "Once people get over the fact that these are not iPhones or
Androids, they'll be pleased," said IDC's Ramon Llamas.

Quickoffice Pro: Strong Cloud Connections, Dreary Look
Many Android devices ship with stripped-down office suite apps that
offer limited functionality loosely based on the kind you'd get with
Microsoft Office on your desktop. Having had a discussion recently with
someone who now regularly travels without a laptop, depending solely on
his Apple iPad for office functions, I was keen to see just how far
these Office-like tools could go.

This Is Your Brain Online
Too many hours of Internet use might actually change your brain.
Researchers in China have concluded that those who are addicted to the
Internet may experience changes in the brain that are similar to those
seen in individuals hooked on drugs or alcohol. A research team lead by
Hao Lei of the Chinese Academy of Sciences used magnetic resonance
imaging to scan the brains of 35 male and female adolescents.
