Today's Story Highlights

Samsung's Ativ Lite Seeks Ultraportable Sweet Spot
After initially revealing its new Ativ Book 9 Lite ultraportable PC in
June, Samsung on Monday announced that it is now accepting preorders for
the device, which will be available in the U.S. on July 28 for $799.99.
Weighing 3.5 lbs. and measuring less than an inch thick,
the Ativ Book 9 Lite offers a 13.3-inch touchscreen LCD display with
1,366 x 768 resolution along with 4 GB DDR3 memory.

Dell vs. Icahn: Ethics, Humanity and Patriotism Matter
What you are going to see in a few days, when Dell stockholders get to
vote on Michael Dell's plan to buy back his company, is a war of
perceptions -- and perhaps a revelation on the state of the U.S.
investor. Both ISS and the Chancery Court have clearly come down on
Michael Dell's side, arguing that what Dell is offering is a sure thing,
while what Carl Icahn is promising is a long shot.

iPhone Blamed for Chinese Woman's Electrocution Death
Ma Ailun, a 23-year-old woman from northwest China, died after being
electrocuted by her iPhone, according to relatives. Ma died while using
the device, which was charging at the time, according to reports. Local
police confirmed that electrocution was the cause of death, but stopped
short of pinning blame on the iPhone. The story has nonetheless gained
traction throughout China.

Limbo Is Dark, Moody, Gory - and Irresistible
Some games on iOS are original creations -- designed for the touch
interface and ready for fun -- while others are ports from previously
released PC or console games, giving these popular-yet-obscure titles a
whole new audience and life on iPads and iPhones. Enter Limbo, first
released in 2010 exclusively for the Xbox Live Arcade. Playdead later
ported it to PS3, Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

Canadian Cyclist Flies With No Help From E.T.
AeroVelo, a team of engineers and students, kept a human-powered
helicopter aloft for more than 1 minute, a feat that snagged a $250,000
cash prize that had eluded competitors for more than three decades. The
team won the challenge issued in 1980 by the American Helicopter Society
to fly a human-powered helicopter. At the time, the AHS offered $10,000
to the winners.

Climb Mt. Fuji for the Views, Stay for the 4G
Intrepid hikers and garden-variety Internet addicts now have 4G access
on top of Japan's famous Mt. Fuji. Japanese telecom NTT DoCoMo has
equipped the 12,388-foot summit with high-speed LTE connectivity. The
access will run now through August, the height of the tourist season on
the mountain. Fuji has always been among the world's most wired
mountains.
