TECH NOW: Talk turkey with these high tech tools and apps
Public to get a glimpse of how astronauts celebrate Turkey Day
The United States and Canada aren't the only places that celebrate Thanksgiving. While technically not a country, the International Space Station also joins us in celebrating the holiday.
Over 200 miles above the ground and traveling at about 17,000 mph, the ISS crew gives thanks with an out-of-this-world feast of their own. What could be better than regular Turkey Day?
Is Lady Gaga's "Artpop" a warning to tech investors?
Carl Icahn says we're in a bubble. Larry Summers says we're not.
Financial media have debated the topic in recent weeks, and both sides
have offered some seemingly irrefutable points. Low interest rates would
tend to drive up asset prices; however, high unemployment would tend to
hold them back. Stocks aren't historically overvalued, but then again
the economy is historically weak. Corporate leverage is now at 2008
levels, and the picture is even worse overseas, but cash holdings are at
record highs.

Amazon, rivals adapt to shorter holiday shopping season
SAN FRANCISCO -- This holiday shopping season will be the shortest in
at least a decade, forcing e-commerce companies, including Amazon.com
and eBay, to think up new tactics to grab as much festive spending as
possible.
There are 26 days between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, compared to 32 last year. That presents risks and opportunities for online retailers and marketplaces.

Why the U.S. needs a cyber doctrine
(Editor's note: In this guest essay, Timothy R. Sample, Vice President, Special Programs Organization,
Battelle Memorial Institute, outlines why the U.S. needs to establish a clear policy on things cyber.)
How will the United States lead in this new era of cyber technologies?
U.S. foreign policy and national security must now take into account the cyber dimension. At the moment, there is a lack of clarity. We do not know what we want to achieve through cyberwarfare.

Beats Studio: Noise cancellation, with a side of bass
Well-known and well-loved, Beats by Dr. Dre headphones tend to be
aimed toward fashion-conscious consumers more than serious audiophiles.
With this year's update to their Studio over-ear headphones (MSRP
$299.95), Beats managed to deliver noise cancellation with bass-forward
beats and style to spare.
As with the rest of the Beats line, the Studios are image-obsessed, and the spiffy design is largely what you're paying for here. The glossy plastic bands come in black, red, orange, and white varieties; the removable, tangle-resistant red cables are made with quality materials; the three-
