Microsoft reportedly working on Kinect-enabled laptops

It remains to be seen when or if they’ll turn into actual products, but The Daily reports that Microsoft is at least working on getting its Kinect technology shoved into laptops. While details are light, the iPad-based publication says that it’s seen a pair of prototypes that “appear to be Asus netbooks running Windows 8,” but which have had their webcams replaced with an array of sensors that run along the top of the screen (a set of LEDs are said to be at the bottom)

Judge forces defendant to decrypt laptop, fuels debate over Fifth Amendment rights

A judge in Colorado yesterday ordered a defendant to decrypt her laptop’s hard drive at the prosecution’s request, adding new fire to the ongoing debate surrounding consumer technology and the Fifth Amendment. The defendant, Ramona Fricosu, is facing charges of bank fraud, stemming from a federal investigation launched in 2010.

Editorial: Don’t call it an ultrabook

Every year at CES, the tech-watching masses engage in a bit of trendspotting — an attempt to identify the one or two big themes of the show that may or may not come to define the year in technology. Some years those are easy to spot (tablets and 3D TV were two big ones recently), and other times they involve a bit of guesswork. This year, one of the most oft-cited trends is the “ultrabook.” Judging from the companies’ announcements at the show and some of the coverage they’ve received, you might think that’s a new sort of device or a radically new type of laptop.
