Google's Motorola Mobility division has filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for a "system and method" to tattoo a mobile-device microphone with lie-detector circuitry onto your throat.

That would really only affect the half that answer questions. The other half won't answer anything you ask them.

Netflix and YouTube together make up half of peak Internet traffic in North America while their main rivals barely register, a study says. At the same time, file sharing is a sliver of its former self. That's a lot of cat videos

After more than two years on the market, Chromebooks appear to be suffering from the same malaise as netbooks. The latest figures from IDC show that only Samsung has been able to ship more than "tiny volumes" of Chromebooks, and most sales have been in the K-12 education market, not to consumers. 'Almost but not quite laptops' fail when compared against laptops. News at 11.

Microsoft issued an e-mail to Windows Phone 7 and Zune users over the weekend, saying that Xbox Video content they currently own will no longer be accessible on their devices starting in late February. I suppose all good things (or bad things) must come to an end.

British neuroscientist David Nutt says his substitute booze would still be relaxing, but without the negative side effects. How is it with a little tonic water?

Nov 10 marks the fourth anniversary of Go as an open source project. Is Google's programming language almost ready for school?
[Modified] OK, some people actually attempted to Google/Bing it and confirmed you can actually search for the language (although I still stand by 'ungoogleable to find a useful solution to a problem working with language', but that's an uglier blurb)
