Today's Story Highlights

Could Ashton Kutcher Be the Next Steve Jobs?
I can hear the virtual voices screaming: "No, there is no way -- he
isn't an engineer, he is an actor." Yet in a way, so was Steve Jobs.
It's clear that when he was pitching a product on stage he was acting.
So why couldn't an actor who has those skills -- and even did a credible
job playing Jobs in a movie -- be for Lenovo what Jobs was for Apple?

A Collective Bah! for Redmond's Humbug
Well Black Friday has come and gone for another year here in the land of
stars and stripes, and so has that small obstacle known as Thanksgiving.
Now it's Cyber Monday at last, and we can all sit back and shop to our
hearts' content, unimpeded by inconvenient social gatherings or worker-
welfare concerns. Down at the Broken Windows Lounge, there was a steady
stream of patrons seeking refuge over the weekend.

Zamurai Whiteboard App Makes Brainstorming a Breeze
If you've spent a good portion of your life sitting around a table with
colleagues who need to plan and strategize, then you've likely used old-
school markers to jot notes on sheets of white paper -- or on dry-erase
whiteboards. There is a better way. Enter Zamurai Mobile Whiteboard for
iOS, a well-designed app that lets you drag and drop handy and commonly
used icons onto your whiteboard.

Steam Machine on Track to Switch Up Video Gaming
iBuyPower reportedly is working on prototypes of a commercial Steam
machine. Valve recently announced that it was working with multiple OEMs
to bring Steam gaming machines to market in 2014. All will run its
Linux-based SteamOS. The iBuyPower device is the first Steam machine
prototype unveiled by a third party so far, but Valve is said to be
working on its own prototype.

Digital Santa, Part 1: It's a Mall World
Red costume, white beard, ruddy cheeks, cheery voice and smiling,
twinkly-eyed charm -- all are indispensable tools for any self-
respecting Santa Claus. Nowadays, however, there's a lot more than mere
lovable magic going on in the business of being Mr. Claus. Modern Santa
has gone high-tech, and today he's all about things like Web landing
pages, smartphone apps and ever-more-impressive techno-spectacle.
