Today's Story Highlights
Nike+ FuelBand Offers New Way to Measure the Burn
Nike has rolled out another product aimed at digital device-loving
athletes. Called Nike+ FuelBand, it is a digitized wristband with a
built-in three-axis accelerometer that tracks a user's movements. That's
any movement -- from running or dancing to swimming or fiddling at your
desk.

Middle-East Cyberbattle Escalates as Arab Banks Take a Pounding
Unrest between Israelis and Arabs on the cybersecurity front is
escalating, with Israeli hackers having reportedly taken down the
websites of the Saudi and Abu Dhabi stock exchanges. The Israeli
hackers, who call themselves "IDF-Team," paralyzed the Saudi stock
exchange site and caused significant delays to the Abu Dhabi Securities
Exchange, according to a report.

Ultrabooks, Tablets and the Space Between
The stage is set for a new battle of mobile form factors. The winner
could set a new non-desktop standard for consumers and office workers
looking for a better alternative to bulky laptops. Lighter, thinner and
more powerful are the key factors guiding the designs of tablets,
convertibles, hybrids and Ultrabooks.

Apple's release of some new tools for the education market has the
potential to transform both the teaching and learning experiences in the

forefront of bringing technology to the college campus.

Alienware Packs Big Gaming Power Into Little Box
Dell's gaming computer brand, Alienware, has released a new desktop
computer that -- while not quite in keeping with the trend toward mobile
gaming -- is compact, powerful and sleek. The X51 is unobtrusive enough
to be placed near a television. It is powered by a range of graphics
cards and several Intel Core processors.
