Article Abstract:
The affective computing research group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab in Cambridge, MA, has for some time been looking at the possibility of equipping computers with emotions. The group's researchers aim ultimately to create a new generation of computers able to recognize and simulate emotions.

Lapping it up
Article Abstract:
Latest portable computers offer all the facilities which have traditionally only been available on desktop equipment. Indeed, Tillamook, the latest mobile processors from Intel, offer the same power as the most powerful 233MHz desktop Pentium chips. Laptop computers have a number of advantages over desktop models, especially in terms of the ease of adding extra features. Latest technology even makes it possible to connect a laptop to a PC without the use of cabling.
