Today's Story Highlights

Ford Tech Could Put an End to Speeding Tickets
Ford Motors on Tuesday unveiled a new technology that can scan traffic
signs and automatically adjust a vehicle's speed accordingly. The
Intelligent Speed Limiter was demonstrated in Germany, but it will be
available worldwide in the newest edition of Ford's S-Max cars. The
technology features a camera mounted on the windshield that works with a
recognition system that can read roadside signs.

Bodacious Bodhi Broadens Linux Desktop
Bodhi Linux 3.0.0 RC3's implementation of the Enlightenment desktop,
makes an awesome desktop computing platform for office or home. Bodhi is
one of only a handful of Linux distros embracing the Enlightenment
environment. Its developers call Bodhi the Enlightened Linux
Distribution . Beware if you try it: Bodhi Linux could easily become
your favorite Linux distro.

What's in an Apple Name?
Apple has chosen some iconic names in the past, like the "iPod" and
"iMac." Apple even managed to take "iPad" -- which was widely panned for
evoking a feminine hygiene product -- and transformed it into the
popular lexicon of children and Wall Street analysts alike. However,
Apple does far more than give big and bold names to products -- it even
names key features.

Leap Motion Faceplate Lets OSVR Head Talk to the Hand
It looks and sounds good, but virtual reality is still establishing how
to get around in the digital worlds it creates. OSVR has placed the
controls in the hands of Leap Motion, which may be a stellar move.
Leap's novel approach embeds the VR controls in a faceplate that can be
attached to an OSVR-compatible headset. The faceplate will be bundled
with OSVR's Hacker Dev Kit when it ships in June.

Over-the-Air Tinkering Keeps Tesla's Model S New
Tesla CEO Elon Musk last week said that the company's line of high-end
electric cars will get some autonomous driving capabilities via an over-
the-air software update this summer. The new features will let drivers
give their vehicles control of certain tasks on major roads, possibly
even highways. Other software updates for the Tesla S already are
rolling out.

Obama Lauds STEM Progress at White House Science Fair
President Obama on Monday announced $240 million in new pledges from
private businesses, schools and foundations across the country for STEM
-- science, technology, engineering and math -- education. The president
also announced that a national goal set four years ago to provide 98
percent of Americans with high-speed wireless Internet has been reached
ahead of schedule.

Docker's No Flash in the Pan
Docker -- the open source application container technology that has
drawn broad interest from the enterprise IT industry -- recently marked
its second birthday. Judging by its growth and traction thus far, and
the example set by such open source projects as Linux, Hadoop, Android,
OpenStack and Cloud Foundry, expect big things from this young open
source software project and community.
