While you are hanging out on the Internet (in your underwear, maybe?) on a Sunday, kids that are smart than either you or I are out there getting ready to change the world. 18-year-old Eesha Khare (left), for example, not only invented a supercapacitor that could someday be a phone battery that charges in a handful of seconds; she also won £32,500 for it.

Thunderbolt's makin' like greased lighting. Intel has introduced the newest revision of the interface and it will be capable of 20Gbps in both directions (as opposed to the previous 10). In other words, fast enough to transfer and play 4K video simultaneously. And it's all backwards compatible with old ports and cables to boot. Read More >>
Intel updating BIOS code is normally the sort of eye-glazing sorta-not-really-news that we do our damndest to avoid. What they've only just gone and done, though, is release the developer version of code for Android 4.2.2 that among other things will let you dual-boot Android and Windows 8 on any Intel-powered device.

Last week we heard rumours that Apple's courting Intel to produce its custom silicon for it, in an effort to ditch its dependence on Samsung's chip manufacturing. Now a new smaller chip in the updated Apple TV could indicate that Apple and Samsung have already split ways. Does this mean the gloves are off? Read More >>

Stephen Hawking is a survivor. He's been valiantly holding his own against ALS disease for 50 years now, but it's still taking its toll. The cheek-twitching mechanism he's been using to talk for the past 10 years isn't quite as efficient as it used to be. He's down to one word per minute at times, but Intel's CTO is working hard on a fix. Read More >>
