Today's Story Highlights

Transcendence and Analytics
I saw the movie Transcendence last week, and it was an impressive
telling of what might happen were we to achieve singularity. Given this
is likely where AI research is taking us and that analytics is a major
component to getting there, I not only recommend the movie as
entertainment but also as a means to wrapping your head around what we
must correct before we take that next big step.

NASA and Google Do the Tango
Google's Project Tango smartphone, which is jam-packed with sensors,
soon will be used in the International Space Station. NASA will swap out
the smartphones it has used on two volleyball-sized free-flying
satellites since 2011 with the Tango devices. NASA has flown modified
Tango phones several times on an aircraft that can simulate microgravity
by taking a parabolic flight path.

Google This: Yahoo Wants Apple's Search Business
Google has dominated the world of search for years, so much so that
"Google" is not only synonymous with searching -- it's a verb, too. Who
hasn't told someone to google something? That's awesome mindshare, and
its power is translated to billions of dollars of ad-related revenue for
Google. Where will search grow in the future? Mobile. And rumor has it,
Yahoo's CEO Marissa Mayer wants it.

Adobe's Open Source Tightrope Walk
Open source software continues to gain momentum -- but what is not
growing is an open desire among individual software developers to port
their commercial Windows wares to Linux. Open source support is not a
mere in or out decision. Some software makers shape their business
models to take advantage of open source support for some products but
not others.
