Microsoft begins to challenge Google
Microsoft Corp. may be the most recognized software company on the planet, but when it comes to searching the Internet, people are much more likely to "Google it."
Microsoft wants to change that, and it's betting millions that someday it will be as well known for search as Google is. The software giant's push comes amid an exponential growth in information - on desktop computers, on online photo albums, on Web sites.

Chatbot bids to fool humans

What sets this chatty AI (artificial intelligence) chatbot apart from others is the more it natters, the more it learns.
The bot is the only UK finalist in this year's Loebner Prize and is hoping to chat its way to a gold medal for its creator, Rollo Carpenter.

Duct tape will not protect you against nuclear attack
U.S. Guide Highlights Terrorism Myths and Facts
Forget the duct tape, the gas masks, home radiation detectors, potassium iodide pills and parachutes as protection from a "dirty bomb" or chemical or biological attack.
That is the message of a public health guide published this month by a group of hundreds of doctors and scientists to counter the surge in so-called terrorism protection products that grew out of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on America.
"Terrorism facts and myths have become blurred," Whelan said at a news briefing to introduce the "New Yorker's Guide to Terrorism Preparedness and Response: Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear."
