	iPhone 4 Wi-Fi proves a challenge for university The iPhone 4 is the first to use 802.11n for Wi-Fi connectivity. But it runs only in the crowded 2.4GHz band.

Read More What to expect from Apple's iOS updates Small point updates to its mobile operating system often give Apple the chance to smooth the edges of its major releases, while adding a few smaller features here and there. iOS 4.1—announced last week to kick off Apple's refresh of its iPod line—is different. This time around, Apple is putting a much greater emphasis on new features, including support for high dynamic range (HDR) photos, the new Game Center social network, iTunes TV rentals, and more. And if that's not enough, the company also pulled back the curtain on the forthcoming iOS 4.2, which aims to finally unify the software on the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, and has no shortage of new features either. Read More Facial recognition: Identifying faces in a crowd in real-time Facial recognition systems have been evolving since the 1960s, trying to automatically identify a person from a mug shot, database, video, or digital image.

If you're like most employees in the United States and United Kingdom, the answer is yes despite the fact that it is not only the weekend, but an extended holiday weekend for most workers in the US. A day off is becoming an increasingly foreign concept as workers stay connected virtually 24/7. Read More Vehicle camera watches the road for stray pedestrians Mobileye Products has added a pedestrian alert feature to its collision prevention device, warning drivers up to 2.7 seconds prior to a possible accident. Read More About that "new research" that says CEOs got rich by firing workers... It was a made-for-viral-Internet-meme: a report issued just before Labor Day, with the title "CEO Pay and the Great Recession", from the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), complete with an illustration of a tophat-and-tails CEO brandishing a $12 million check "for laying off >3,000 workers." After that, you didn't really have to read it. And judging from the firestorm of media and blogger coverage, not to mention the reader comments, few did.
