Sony develops film-thin, bending display
---------------------------------------------
In the race for ever-thinner displays for TVs, cellphones and other gadgets,
Sony may have developed one to beat them all -- a razor-thin display that bends
like paper while showing full-color video.

NASA's chief lawyer may face criminal probe
---------------------------------------------
NASA's top lawyer, Michael Wholley, could face a criminal investigation for
destroying video recordings of a meeting involving the agency's leaders and
members of its investigative staff. Rep. Brad Miller, D-N.C., who heads the
House science committee's investigative panel, said Thursday that he and the
panel's ranking republican, Wisconsin Rep. James Sensenbrenner, were weighing
whether to write a letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales asking for the
probe. Miller's comments followed a hearing involving Wholley.

Researchers turn Web blather to books
---------------------------------------------
A few simple keystrokes may soon turn blather into books. Researchers at
Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to enlist people across the
globe to help digitize books every time they solve the simple distorted word
puzzles commonly used to register at websites or buy things online.

EU probes Google over privacy concerns
---------------------------------------------
An independent European Union panel has launched an investigation into whether
Google Inc.'s Internet search engine abides by European privacy rules. The panel
wants Google to address concerns about the company's practice of storing and
retaining user information for up to two years.

Researcher: Stegosaur babies made tracks
---------------------------------------------
Researcher Matt Mossbrucker believes four small dinosaur tracks found within
sight of the skyscrapers of downtown Denver were made by two stegosaur babies, a
find he says would be "incredibly rare." Little is known about stegosaurs except
that they were plant-eaters and grew to weigh about six tons.
