| What Will the Bus Monitor Do With All That Money? [POLL] Posted: 23 Jun 2012 02:11 PM PDT  On Tuesday, a YouTube video of bus monitor Karen Klein being verbally harassed by several 12- to 15-year-old boys ignited a crowd-sourced fundraiser that has raked in over half a million dollars. But with 29 days left on the Indiegogo fundraiser, many are wondering: Where will it stop? What will the 69-year-old grandmother (who currently makes $15,506 a year) do with all that money? The original fundraising goal of $5,000 was meant to send Klein on a nice relaxing vacation. Now there is enough money for her to vacation, retire and then some.

| Judge Dismisses Apple vs. Google Smartphone Patent Case Posted: 23 Jun 2012 11:54 AM PDT 
Judge Richard Posner dismissed the patent case late Friday evening, writing in his opinion that neither side proved any damages caused by the other party. His ruling came with prejudice, meaning neither side can reopen the case to attempt to prove damages for a second time. "It would be ridiculous to dismiss a suit for failure to prove damages and allow the plaintiff to refile the suit so that he could have a second chance to prove damages," reads Posner's opinion.

| Hands On: Can an Ultrabook Be the Center of Your Digital Life? Posted: 23 Jun 2012 09:57 AM PDT  In case you haven't heard, laptops are getting thinner. And lighter. And sexier. The shrinking phenomenon is often attributed to the MacBook Air, and Apple deserves a great deal of credit for pushing the industry toward the compact-yet-versatile laptop. After working with Apple to help craft some of the technology in the initial MacBook Air design, Intel took the ball and ran with it, launching the Ultrabook concept. Ultrabooks are the Air's ethos adapted to Windows PCs -- thin and light laptops that sacrifice a few rarely used features (like optical drives) to create a nimble machine that can actually perform. The performance aspect is key, since substandard tech was the main crit… More About: dell, intel, laptops, trending, Ultrabook, Ultrabooks
