Total recall

Article Abstract:

Gordon Bell and his associates from Microsoft Corp. in San Francisco are working on a project called MyLifeBits. A device called SenseCam uses a software which detects heat, light, position and decides whether to capture a picture by using a miniature camera. At the end of the day, the digital pictures go into the database which can be recalled even after years, making forgetting impossible!

Selling music for a song

Article Abstract:

Online music stores are finding it difficult to survive in the industry because out of the revenue received as charges for a song, some portion of it goes to the music label that records it and the other is spent in the distribution costs. In addition to this, the artists who have sung with the major record level end up with only three to five cents of the music label's revenue.
