Today's Story Highlights

The Roadblocks to Making Prosthetic Miracles Happen Every Day
As the DARPA approaches its self-imposed deadline to make high-tech
prosthetics that begin to approach the abilities of natural limbs by
2009, the research communities that have made it happen are beginning to
ask, "Can we create companies that can turn a mind-blowing prototype or
demo into real products?" Veterans, amputees and other people living
without limbs ask, "Can you help me soon?"

Windows 7 vs. Snow Leopard: Inside the War Rooms
Apple pushed up its Snow Leopard release by a month to provide a 60-day
buffer between it and Microsoft's biggest launch of the decade. Apple
can't match either Microsoft's resources or price, but the feat of
snagging an unchallenged 60 days during the back-to-school and early
holiday shopping season points to Apple's greatest advantage: Its
marketing leader is also its CEO.

On the 'Fake Linus Torvalds' and the Nifty Nokia N900
You know it's a good day when included among all the dry-as-dust press
releases that arrive on your virtual desk is one that promises to
combine Linux, Twitter and "dangerously outrageous" fun. Sure enough,
from none other than the Linux Foundation came the tantalizing
announcement of the "Fake Linus Torvalds" promotion, which it kicked off
last week.

Impression Arms iPhoto With a Watermark Weapon
Digital photography has made sharing photos easy -- sometimes too easy.
Work posted to the Web by lens-slingers can be misappropriated with
abandon by the naive as well as the nefarious. One way shutterbugs try
to protect their images is by watermarking them. A watermark is a logo,
legend or other sign superimposed on a photo to identify its origin.

The Big Screen Gets Bigger
Today, young movie-watchers look increasingly like Molly O'Connor. A
junior at the University of Dallas, she still goes to the cinema
occasionally, but is often just as happy to hunker down on a bed or a
couch with friends to watch a downloaded movie on a laptop that's
perched on a nearby desk or a chair.

Cellphones With a Penchant for Pix
Pretty much any cellphone you'd buy today comes with a digital camera,
but only a few are good enough to take the place of even a cheap point-
and-shoot. It can be tricky to sniff out which phones really fall into
that category. Highly advertised features, like a mass of megapixels and
multiple settings, do not always add up to a solid camera.

Rights Groups Demand More Info on Arbitrary DHS Laptop Searches
The idea was to provide some clarity on the issue of searches of
computers and other digital devices when travelers enter the U.S.
However, while Thursday's announcement of new Department of Homeland
Security policies for border inspections was greeted as a good first
step by some, they didn't completely quiet privacy rights groups.
