Intel: Read My Lips....

Michael Kanellos found that Intel has released software that lets computers read lips.

[Smart Mobs]

Ok, if you take the "big brother" fear out of it, this is really cool technology.  The ability to read lips and recognize people via visual input to a computer could mean another quantum leap in accessibility via accuracy of voice recognition.

IBM portal takes dictation.

Paul Festa says that IBM has introduced software that enables its Web sites to take dictation.

[Smart Mobs]

Wow, too cool.  This takes accessibility up a notch.  IBM has been messing around with dictation for years and coming out with some really cool uses for it.

Web Services Poster Boys. This news is a bit old, but we just discovered it, so it's news to us. The good people over at ZapThink have created this nifty poster of XML and Web services standards. It was distributed in a magazine a while back, but you can also download a PDF version. [CapeBlog]

This is a really cool poster.  I wish I had a place to hang it.  Recommended download.

Wow, is this a true story?  They just discovered Emacs?  They thought Lisp was hard to read because of the parens?  Is this an April Fool's joke?
