<description><![CDATA[Reading about Lenovo's eye-popping gaze-controlled laptop being shown at the CeBit tech fair this week, we were excited to see a demo of Guger Technologies' Indendix brain speller machine. As we mentioned last year, Intendix is an electroencephalography (EEG) device that lets users type with their minds. Guger calls it the world's first commercial brain-machine interface for personal use. It's designed for disabled or paralyzed people.The system consists of an electrode cap, a flashing display of letters, a compact brain wave amplifier, and a Windows-based program. By focusing on each letter, users can generate brain waves that the device can recognize. Guger says most patients can type 5-10 characters per minute after training.The company showed off Intendix at Cebit in Hannover, Germany, and IDG recorded a demo. Recent improvements include shorter setup time and shorter training. But when first-time user Martyn Williams tried it out, the results were a bit of a reality check. Intendix lets you type with your mind--if you have the patience. (Credit:Guger Technologies)As seen in the vid above, it took Williams about five minutes of concentration to type only three letters with his mind (he was told that intelligence doesn't affect the results). At that rate, it would take about 35 hours to type a letter of 250 words, assuming an average of five characters per word (and this doesn't include the time it takes to type spaces and punctuation marks). With Guger's more optimistic estimate of typing five characters a minute, it would take four hours. Still, that's twice as fast as the time it reportedly took French journalist Jean-Dominique Bauby to type &quot;The Diving Bell and the Butterfly,&quot; an account of his struggle with the paralysis of locked-in syndrome, by blinking one eye at an assistant for two months. Doubtless Bauby would have benefited from Intendix (he died a few days after his best-selling memoir was published), as will others with severe paralysis for whom patience is a necessity. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[MacBook Pros: Sooner or later(Credit:CNET)With Intel's surprising Sandy Bridge news suggesting new computers featuring the processors might see delays, we couldn't help but ask ourselves whether the Sandy Bridge issues mean new MacBook Pros will come later rather than sooner. First of all, we have no idea when new MacBook Pros are hitting next. However, assuming they're due for a refresh within the next few months, a few things seem likely: They're going to receive new Sandy Bridge processors, including the older Core 2 Duo-toting 13-inch MacBook Pro. And, they'll likely arrive after the competition. At least, that's been the case for recent MacBook Pros, including last year's Core i-series updates.New Sandy Bridge laptops have been expected somewhere around the end of February. Even if that timeframe doesn't shift, consider that last year's Core i3/i5/i7 CPUs became available immediately afterCES. Apple's new MacBook Pros debuted in April. If that same pattern held true this year, tea leaves would point to somewhere around the end of May/early June.Now we're taking our Nostradamus hats off. Certainly, we'll be hearing news soon enough as to how OEMs will be handling the Sandy Bridge situation.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Formspring, the online question/answer service, has raised $11.5 million in Series A financing, bringing its total to $14 million. Now all the company has to do is figure out how to make money.&amp;''$14 million is a ton of money, especially for a site thata4a4s only a year old with no revenue,&amp;'' notes Liz Gannes at All Things Digital.It not only has no revenue, but no business model. CEO Ade Olonoh &amp;''has not yet figured that out,&amp;'' reports CNET&amp;'s Caroline McCarthy.Along with the financing, Formspring announced the creation of a &amp;''Respond&amp;'' button that can be incorporated on outside Web sites, allowing the service to be distributed across the Web rather than centralized on Formspring&amp;'s own site. Sites such as Huffington Post and AskMen.com are already incorporating the button, which works somewhat like Facebook&amp;'s &amp;''like&amp;'' button. Answers to questions are housed on the publishers&amp;' own sites.Again, there&amp;'s no indication on how this will yield returns for the company&amp;'s investors. Redpoint Partners and Baseline Ventures led the new round. In March, the company raised $2.5 million from a group of angels along with Polaris Ventures.Most of the attention the company has drawn has been negative: The site, which allows people to ask each other questions anonymously, became a hive spam and nasty insults and bullying among its teen users.Next Story: Skype founder develops a passion for fashion via Fashiolista Previous Story: Online game company Gazillion promotes former Blizzard exec to No. 2 jobPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Q&amp;amp'ACompanies: Formspring          Tags: Q&amp;amp'ACompanies: FormspringVentureBeat has new weekly email newsletters.
