This week my top technology stories include how Bell Labs is exiting chip research for which it has garnered six Nobel Prizes, how a robot has removed a diseased kidney through a single incision, how China is countering the U.S. invisibility cloak for hiding aircraft, satellites and missiles with an anti-cloak, and how a virtual musician called iMe can learn to jam along with players in any musical style. For details, see our slideshow. For commentary, listen to technology the weekly podcast.
