ARM today said it has developed a pair of Cortex-A9 hard macro implementations which will enable devices to operate at 2GHz, and beyond. To achieve the additional speed without disregarding power consumption, the new design calls for a 40nm manufacturing process.

The video above is from the ARM's concept however the company will only officially launched at Computex 2009 the ARM-powered Qualcomm Smartbook platform. Intended to slot in-between smartphones and netbooks, but offering various degrees of functionality from each, Smartbooks would package 3G WWAN connectivity, GPS and other wireless technologies with a usably-large display, all-day battery life and HD playback. So the netbook are out and these new Smartbooks might just take over!

Foldable ebook reader.
"The Readius has a 5-inch e-ink display that, when closed, wraps around the reader’s main electronics. Control is via eight touch-sensitive buttons, and there’s an integrated 3.5G cellular connection and microSD slot."

Lastly, E-reader manufacturer iRex have announced [pdf link] that they intend to have a color, writable ebook reader on the market by 2011. The device, which is currently unnamed, will use a system of subtractive color mixing which, according to iRex, results in three times the brightness of existing additive color electrophoretic displays.
Details on the subtractive e-ink technology are scant, but it is compared to physical printing whereby colors act as filters to absorb portions of white light striking them and reflect back the desired hue. The additive system, meanwhile, mixes together backlit or illuminated colors to create hues, often requiring filters that can reduce overall quality.
iRex believe that their subtractive e-ink displays will offer print-quality visuals to magazines and other full-color publications, and push them ahead of the crowd. Meanwhile color e-paper producers have reportedly delayed their launches to 2010, in the face of technical issues.

A 64-year-old woman informed doctors at Geneva University Hospital about a third arm coming from her body.
Only a few days after suffering a stroke, the woman began to see her new 'arm' and use it to her advantage. Amazingly she has been able to stop itches but cannot penetrate solid objects.
A detailed examination by the woman's neurologist, Asaid Khateb, showed that the vision was a rare case of supernumerary phantom limb (SPL).
Doctors have never recorded such a case of a person being able to feel, see and consciously move a non-existing limb. The findings are published in the Annals of Neurology.A 64-year-old woman informed doctors at Geneva University Hospital about a third arm... more
