    Scientists Take First Picture of a Single Atom

    anony2004I thought we had already pictured the atom... The difference here is that they can take pictures without damaging the subjects, and at least for DNA this is crucial. I say that this time they've done an awesome job, not just science for the sake of it.

    Intel Conducts Study to See If You Want Touchscreen Laptops

    I've used a touchscreen laptop a few years ago, with windows xp. I got used to quickly tap the screen whenever I had to dismiss a popup. It was useful, despite it being resistive. It's a lot better than the trackpad or a mouse when you're on a couch. After that, with my next laptop (no...

    Scientists to Make Computer With Human-like Learning Skill

    That FellowSo how is this not a regular computer with attached input devices? Or is it a particularly fancy FPGA?

    Microsoft Patents GPU-accelerated Window Manager

    Yeah, smart move, good news for stock holders, But I'm not impressed at all. I will not give any benefit to ms/apple in the future from the simple fact that I have to use a computer. That will not translate in a sell for them. I use Linux at work with great efficiency, I will use it at home too.

    Windows 8 In Videos: An Operating System Reimagined?
