Today's Story Highlights

Swiftkey's Clarity Keyboard Puts Auto-Correction in Context
Most auto-correction programs correct mistakes as you make them. They
even predict words for you as you type. Swiftkey's recent release for
Android, Clarity Keyboard Beta, corrects mistakes -- up to several at a
time -- after you've typed them. "SwiftKey, for a long time, has had
context awareness, but it's applied it looking forward," explained
SwitfKey's Chief Marketing Officer Joe Braidwood.

Smart Car 2 Transforms Itself to Tuck Into Tiny Spots
DFKI Robotics last week unveiled a prototype of the EO Smart Connecting
Car 2. The tiny, two-seater electric vehicle operates much like a
traditional car, but because each wheel is powered by its own motor, it
can make extremely tight turns and even drive sideways. This capability
could address issues that plague many big cities, notably traffic
congestion and inadequate parking space.

Debian-Based C.H.I.P. Computer Is a Kickstarter Smash
C.H.I.P., a Linux-based mini-PC priced at just $9, is receiving an
overwhelming response on Kickstarter. Launched last Thursday with a
funding goal of $50,000, it has chalked up more than 16,000 backers who
have shelled out upwards of $815,000. The project still has 25 days to
go. The tiny open source device, made by Next Thing Co., has been dubbed
the "Raspberry Pi killer."

3 SciFi Technologies That Are About to Get Amazingly Real
Lisa Su, the talented new CEO for AMD, last week gave a pitch on the
future to get people excited about where AMD is going. Based on the
stock performance after her talk, she and her team knocked it out of the
park. They also got me thinking about some tech advancements that have
been quietly percolating, which likely will form the basis for a
revolutionary announcement in the next few years.
