Nvidia's ECS: Some Amazing Little Companies to Watch
Nvidia's Emerging Companies Summit, a place to check out some of the
firms that could become the next breakout company, didn't disappoint
this year. Among the highlights: A firm that could redefine advertising
connected to Web pictures and videos; a company that could put your
entire desktop and gaming experience in the cloud; and one that could
help you actually hear that TV you see at a bar.

Apple Patent Addresses Texting-Walking Risk
Texting and walking can be dangerous, but Apple could be aiming to make
it less so, judging from a patent awarded Thursday by the U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office. Apple has found an innovative way to use an
electronic communication device's camera to continuously capture and
present video images as background within a text-messaging session,
suggests its Transparent Texting patent application.

There's a New Kid on the Solar System Block
Astronomers this week reported what they believe to be the most-distant
member of our solar system discovered so far. 2012 VP113, a probable
dwarf planet that was found to lie beyond the known edge of the solar
system, was discovered by Chadwick Trujillo, an astronomer at the Gemini
Observatory in Hawaii, and Scott Sheppard, an astronomer at the Carnegie
Institution for Science.
