Class in a Glass – Google Glass could well be the cool look this season, with the augmented reality specs getting an airing at New York fashion week, with designer label DVF using the glasses in its show.

Laptop inventor dies - Bill Moggridge, the man behind the flip-cover look of the laptop has passed away, aged 69. Moggridge, from the UK, came up with the design for the Grid Compass computer way back in 1985 and since then this look has been emulated in most laptops. [Yahoo]
The shroud of Turing – Computer pioneer Alan Turing has been celebrated in a new edition of Monopoly which has been made to look like the hand-drawn version of the game Turing played with friend William Newman.

Kim DotCopter – Kim DotCom may have been allowed back into his mansion in New Zealand but that hasn't stopped the Megaupload founder from being that little bit paranoid.

Sound asleep – The folks at Time4Sleep have unveiled their latest bed, which comes with an audio twist.

Emma Watson is a danger to your computer – Apparently if you Google 'Emma Watson' you are playing a game of Russian roulette with virus makers. This is because a new study has found one in eight links relating to the Harry Potter survivor are said to be dodgy. [AP]
Let off some Steam – Valve is ready to announce that the beta version of its Big Picture service for Steam is available this week, bringing gaming content to the big screen. Something something Half-Life 3 rumour. [Engadget]
Kinect-ing people – Microsoft's Kinect has been put to its best use yet, with the son of a stroke sufferer hacking the system so that his mother can communicate without using words. The result is a heart-warming look into how technology can change lives. Great stuff. [Cnet]
FB-eye – Facial recognition on a wide scale may only be stuff of movies but the good ol' FBI is looking to roll out a new $1 billion system that will identify 'people of interest' in crowds. That sound you can hear is a million privacy campaigners slowly grinding their teeth. [Engadget]
