<description><![CDATA[Intel can be fast and loose with design concepts like its newest--&quot;Ultrabook.&quot; But for those grasping for concrete examples, there's the MacBook Air. Guidelines for the Ultrabook were announced by Intel today at the Computex conference. In a nutshell, Intel is trying to reinvent the laptop as atablet minus the keyboard. Make a laptop very thin and portable like aniPad and you've borrowed some of the tablet's main--and most compelling--design attributes. That's the idea. Alternatively, the Ultrabook could be seen as the death knell for the Netbook, the small, Atom processor-based laptop. But Intel is still promoting the Netbook for developing markets in Asia and elsewhere so we won't see the Netbook disappear immediately. Conjecture aside, the best tangible evidence of the Ultrabook today is the MacBook Air. Or, better yet, the upcoming MacBook Air using Intel's newest Sandy Bridge processors. The Ultrabook (think: MacBook Air and upcoming refresh): Design: Two to three pounds. Really thin. Under 0.8 inches. Instant-on: Like a tablet, turns on instantly from standby mode. Flash storage: Speedy solid-state drives or magnetic disk with ancillary flash storage. Fast chips: No older (slower) Intel chips here. Sandy Bridge now, next-gen Ivy Bridge later. Updated ports: Either Thunderbolt or USB 3.0. 3G/4G: built-in 3G or 4G connections will likely be offered on many Ultrabooks. Battery: relatively long battery life. Price: Under $1000 (barely), like the $999 MacBook Air. Prices will come down more next year. Some Ultrabooks due later this year will look a lot like the MacBook Air. (Credit:Apple)But there's more to come, too. A couple of future technologies will also find their way into Ultrabooks. Instant-on hibernation: Or what Intel now calls Rapid Start Technology. Hibernation mode is used today to put a PC in a deep sleep state, which uses very little power and extends battery life. The problem is that it can take as long as a minute to bring a laptop out of hibernation. With Rapid Start this can be accomplished in a few seconds, according to Umesh Shah, an Intel engineer, who demonstrated this technology earlier this month at Intel's investor meeting. The system must have either a solid-state drive or an ancillary flash drive, which works in conjunction with a standard magnetic hard disk drive to speed up certain operations. Smart Connect: This periodically wakes up the laptop from a sleep state to get updates, whether they be email or social networking accounts like Twitter and Facebook. The point is to keep the computer up to date even when it's off. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Reddit&amp;39's gaming subreddit, where the efforts took place.(Credit:CNET)A trio of gaming sites has been caught getting users to vote stories into popularity on social-news site Reddit. The effort, which had been run by a Reddit user called &quot;MasterOfHyrule,&quot; made use of multiple accounts to submit, vote, and comment on stories from gaming sites GamePro, G4TV, and GamrFeed. Those stories would then have a greater chance at making it to the front page of the site's gaming subcategory and possibly onto the front page of the site where even more traffic could be had. After being called out in a post by Reddit user Deimorz earlier today, all three have since issued apologies to the Reddit community owning up to the efforts. The legitimacy of G4's has been verified, however GamePro and GamrFeed's have not. CNET has reached out to both companies for independent confirmation.In its statement, G4 said that the company had originally found a Digg power user who also had other social networking accounts, including one on Reddit. G4 had traded games, then later money to this individual in return for them submitting stories to the social-news site.&quot;However, we didn't know the full extent of how he was achieving success on Reddit,&quot; the company wrote. &quot;We had no idea that he had 20 accounts under his control. We also didn't know that he was using the other accounts to comment on his own submissions. That's on us 100 percent, we should have paid more attention to his methods.&quot;Based on data pulled up by Deimorz, the first of the companies to begin the practice was GamePro nearly a year ago, with G4TV following three months later. Deimorz pegs GamrFeed to be the most recent, beginning four months ago. Out of that data, there is no determination of how many stories were affected, though user MasterOfHyrule was said to be &quot;by far the worst&quot; with &quot;hundreds of submissions,&quot; according to Deimorz' data. Gaming the system on social-news sites is nothing new though presents a particularly challenging problem to site owners. The site's growth has made it an increasingly lucrative target to sites that want to get a boost in traffic once stories are elevated to a promoted status. Reddit rival Digg faced similar challenges several years ago while trying to cope with an influx of users and groups that attempted to game its voting system. The company responded by changing its algorithm to penalize group voting, thereby encouraging stories to be voted on by a more diverse group of users before getting promoted. The site's spam filter can catch about 97 percent of submitted posts that are determined to be spammy, though the company is not able to go into specifics on its methods for fear of helping spammers bypass it, according to Erik Martin, Reddit's community manager.&quot;This is a little different because some of these sites have content,&quot; Martin told CNET. &quot;It's not quite the same as someone who puts up a crappy infographic with a bunch of back links to their furniture site. These are Web sites that are publishing content.&quot; &quot;Usually the other thing that helps is that our users smell it,&quot; Martin explained. &quot;But it's harder to smell it in gaming. I hope nobody in gaming gets offended by that. It's just much easier to smell it in other Reddits. Gaming has articles about commercial products with reviews, leaks of screenshots, conversations with marketing people and developers.&quot; &quot;What constitutes spam in the gaming Reddit is not the same as the cognitive psychology Reddit,&quot; Martin continued.Martin says the Reddit team still has to go through some of the data collected by Deimorz and its own filters to determine what to do next, though he made it clear that just because the sites in question are big media companies, Reddit won't pull any punches on taking action.&quot;If they have broken the rules, they'll be treated just like a mom and pop operation,&quot; Martin said.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Germany&amp;39's Festo says it has &amp;34'succeeded in deciphering the flight of birds.&amp;34' (Credit:Festo)Bird flight has fascinated mankind for centuries. German-based Festo now says it has deciphered it by building a robot seagull that flies like the real thing. (Credit:Festo)SmartBird is inspired by the herring gull and can take off by flapping its wings, and flying and landing autonomously. It moves by flapping and twisting its wings like a gull, and turns its head to steer--see the video below. Built of carbon fiber and polyurethane foam, SmartBird weighs about 1 pound and has a wingspan of some 6.5 feet. Though its inner structure recalls the flying machines of Leonardo da Vinci, it also houses a microcontroller, four servo drives, and a lithium polymer battery.  The wings are driven with an exterior rotor motor through a two-stage helical transmission, and the wing positions are monitored with sensors that relay data to ground operators via a radio link. Festo has done other graceful robo-creatures before including penguins and flying rays. Its flexible Bionic Handling Assistant is inspired by an elephant's trunk. It says SmartBird, part of its Bionic Learning Network, is all about adapting a natural principle to technology, as well as energy efficiency and conservation of resources. At the least, it's an improvement on the Falco airport bird hunter. It would also make a pretty nifty toy, especially if it could perch on trees and spy on people.
