Asus trials Kinect enabled netbooks.
Computer company Asus has built a pair of prototype netbooks with built in Kinect sensors, which are running Windows 8. According to TheDaily, the devices have “an array of small sensors stretching over the top of the screen where the webcam would normally be. At the bottom of the display is a set of what appear to be LEDs.”
While Asus seems to be moving quickly with the technology, it’s not completely unexpected to see this being tested, with the Kinect for Windows device going on sale next week. Meanwhile Windows 8 is nearing completion, with the developer preview having just finished, and the Beta release (officially called the Windows Consumer Preview) likely to be released to the public in late February.

The new complaint to police comes after two officers prevented Times freelance photographer Robert Stolarik from photographing a protester’s arrest at Sunday’s rally in support of Occupy Oakland, the letter says. The letter, which Capital New York posted in full, cites a Times story that reported “officers blocked the lens of a newspaper photographer attempting to document the arrests.” […]
