Today's Story Highlights

Flexible Aluminum-Ion Battery Recharges in 60 Seconds
Researchers have been attempting to develop an aluminum-ion battery for
decades -- and a Stanford team on Tuesday revealed its breakthrough that
could lead to the adoption of fast-charging, long-lasting batteries in
the near future. The turning point occurred when the researchers were
trying out materials to serve as a cathode, and they began experimenting
with graphite.

Gadget Ogling: Dashing Buttons, a Plug-In PC and a Smart Teakettle
Amazon Dash is a series of WiFi connected buttons you dot around your
home for various products. Once you run out, hit the button, and Amazon
will ship out more of what you need. Run out of things like trash bags,
razors, detergent, diapers, paper towels, dog food or toilet paper, and
Amazon can ship you more at the touch of a button. It's wonderfully
simple.

Roku Offers Shiny New Streamers
Roku, the original "Netflix box," has seen a good deal of its market
share divvied up by newcomers with names like "Fire" and "Chrome."
However, what Roku has going for it that other streaming device
manufacturers don't is freedom. "They aren't shackled to their own
content business, so they can offer the widest choice of content -- and
a big choice of apps," noted Sky VP Hilary Perchard.

Parsix 7 Morphs GNOME Into a Better Desktop
Parsix GNU/Linux 7 is a feature-rich rendition of the GNOME desktop that
you must take for a spin. Dubbed Nestor , the project's goal is to
provide a ready-to-use and easy-to-install operating system based on
Debian's testing branch and the latest stable release of the GNOME
desktop environment. The Parsix distro meets that goal -- and goes even
beyond.
