Mind-reading software could help determine what a person is thinking. The software developed by Intel (INTC) analyzes MRI scans. In one test, Intel said the software could successfully guess which one of two words a person was thinking about 90% of the time. Such technology could help the severely disabled to communicate. It also could enable people to one day control machines with just their thoughts.
A computer specialist sits in front of a PC. Using a programming language, he writes a code that the machine will understand later on.
He has created a software application. If he delivers it with what he wrote the code is open and the software is free, if it meets all the requirements.
In this case, there’s the possibility that other computer experts can see and change that code. Thus, they would be capable of improving the application or adapt it to specific contexts.

Google offered a glimpse of simplified computing for consumers with the launch of its new operating system. The Chrome OS, which should be available on smaller laptops in time for Christmas next year, is a direct challenge to the dominance of Microsoft’s Windows franchise.
Google is aiming to rewrite the rules of operating systems with a web-based OS that does little more than act as a browser to enable users to get to all the internet applications they use daily, such as search, Facebook and webmail, as quickly as possible.
At a media event at the Googleplex HQ, in Mountain View, California, Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google, said: “We believe that the web platform is a much simpler way. There is a very important need in the market place now — and that is what we are trying to fulfil.”

Keeping software up to date is as difficult as keeping a closet of outfits up to fashion, except it's a lot less fun. Today's Windows computers are complex things, particularly when it comes to software. Windows alone has more updates than a disco's playlist.
Then there are the programs. Security software needs constant updates to keep up with the crooks. But even ordinary programs - word processors, cleanup utilities and Internet browsers (especially Internet browsers, it seems) get out of date faster than rap songs, and in pretty well all cases it's up to you to (a) know that and (b) do something about it.
A US man has been fined $210,000 for selling illegal copies of software through internet auction sites. Matthew Miller of Newark, Delaware, was hit with $195K in damages and $15K in legal fees by US District Judge Susan Illston in the case brought in the US District Court for the Northern District of California. Miller sold unlicensed software packages from Adobe, Autodesk and Microsoft through a site called iOffer, frequently offering huge discounts.
The case against Miller arose from a 2008 investigation spearheaded by anti-piracy group Business Software Alliance (BSA). Miller reportedly confessed to downloading software onto CDs and selling it for between $8 to $12. In one case software worth nearly $12K was offered for sale by Miller to an undercover investigator for just $52, reduced to $45 after some haggling.
