Today's Story Highlights

MIT's Smart Sand Can 'Build' Whatever It Touches
Of late, people working in specialized fields such as industrial design,
architecture, and the medical and dental industries have been going gaga
over 3D printing, a process in which three-dimensional solid objects are
produced on a special printer using materials such as molten polymers.
However, this technology may be trumped by research on so-called self-
sculpting sand.

Tapose Is a Good Idea Gone Bad
Tapose is a great idea for a tablet app that was pushed out the door too
soon. After four months in the Apple review process, the journal
software arrived at the App Store recently, but it still doesn't seem
ready for prime time. On a first-generation iPad, it's often
unresponsive, buggy, and prone to frequent crashes.

Smart Diagram Effortlessly Produces Professional-Looking Results
The much talked about demise of the laptop in favor of tablet device, it
could be argued, will be dependent on the tablet offering much of the
functionality of the laptop. Gaping holes in tablet function will likely
perpetuate the laptop as a tool. A number of work-type Android
applications have successfully migrated to the tablet form: Microsoft
Office-like apps; printer-sharing apps; document-scanning apps.

Data-Chugging iPads vs. Stingy Carriers: Something's Gotta Give
I have an odd mix of loyalty and mistrust with AT&T and Verizon -- my
iPhone uses AT&T and has since I stood in line for the first version in
2007, and my iPad 2 uses Verizon. While I appreciate the incredible,
magical ability to make phone calls and communicate from odd corners of
the world as I travel, I also feel as if they don't really care much
about their customers.

Flashback Infection Hits 700,000 Mac Users
More than 700,000 Macintosh computers have been infected with malware
that exploits a flaw in Java, and the number keeps growing. The
Flashback Trojan, which plants an executable file on a Mac that fetches
additional malware, was uncovered earlier this week by Doctor Web. The
infection has reached 700,000 computers, but its growth has slowed down,
said Doctor Web CEO Boris Sharov.
