Intellext has announced to launch Watson 2.0 on Friday. Recognised to work as a sidebar, Watson 2.0 is designed to artificially understand the content of the text that any Personal Computer (PC) user is reading or creating, and automatically offers relevant news articles, Word documents, and other Web- or PC-based information for the user. Unlike Google’s Desktop (Sidebar) service as databases were occasionally exchanging with Google servers, Watson 2.0 offers its service without compromising PC user’s privacy, as nothing gets sent to their servers.

Atom Tech Quantum laptop
[Edit: Gizmodo bring word that this is a fake, and who am I to dispute them? The specs sound iffy enough and the website doesn't scream "high tech innovator". They should still get an award for the most technobble product name though!]
Falling squarely in the “too many buzzwords to count” category Atom Chip corp have come up with a new “Quantum Optical” memory technology that should allow silly amounts of solid state storage to be made available.
They also reckon it can be used as RAM as well as storage, so to debut their technology they’ve announced a 6.8 Ghz laptop with 1TB RAM and 2TB solid state storage! (Yep, you read that right)
