Kraft, the people most famous for macaroni and cheese, now have a kiosk that will scan your face and tell you what to eat. Intel helped develop it so after it recommends 2 boxes of mac-n-cheese and some spray cheese, you'll hear the Intel logo chime. The idea of having a machine scan your face and then scoop up all the products it tells you to buy sounds weird, to say the least. So, when we heard about this solution center, we were a bit skeptical of its usefulness. It turns out there are some solid applications. Comments

Warner to Raise Content License Fees for Netflix, Redbox
Warner Brothers has come up with another brilliant idea to generate revenue, the company plans on increasing the licensing fees they charge Netflix and Redbox. That is brilliant!

Recyclable Laptop Designed for Disassembly
Although most people try to avoid laptops that come apart by hand in under 2 minutes, a team students at Stanford University are developing just such a device (for the environment). A team of students from Stanford and Aalto University in Finland answered those questions by designing a prototype for a laptop that can be disassembled easily so the electronic components can go into an envelope for mailing to an e-cycling program and the rest can go into the household recycling bin. And all that can be done by hand in less than two minutes without any tools. Comments

WikiLeaks Founder's Sex Crimes File is Leaked Online
Apparently Wikileak's lawyer doesn't think turnabout is fair play, labeling this incident as "incredibly unfortunate." The incident labeled as rape happened the next morning, when the woman claims she was woken up by Assange having unprotected sex with her. "I can just say that I sent them to my client through his lawyer in London. But how it ended up on the Internet I don't know," Hurtig told The Associated Press. "It's incredibly unfortunate."
