Digital dullard

Article Abstract:

Billionaire Paul Allen's latest project, the Digital Aristotle also known as the 'Halo Project' is on the verge of democratizing knowledge by using artificial intelligence techniques to create electronic tutors for physics, chemistry, and biology students. However, it could be a loser because the Digital Aristotle is narrowly defined as a proof-of-concept project that won't create a commercially viable product or enterprise.

Article Abstract:

The Kyocera 7135, though it merges a cell-phone and a PDA into one all-purpose device, doesnEt have a great battery life.
