Ellen DeGeneres Gives Barnes & Noble Nook and More to Audience

By Dena Cassella Published December 4, 2009

Wonder why the Nook is completely sold out until 2010—we’ll tell you—it’s because Ellen DeGeneres rounded up a bunch of them to give away [for FREE] to her studio audience. Ellen DeGeneres announced on her show today—right after dancing with a giant elf shoe named “Big Booty”—that she will be giving her entire studio audience a B&N Nook, a MiFi 2200 mobile hotspot, a Powermat wireless charger, Nokia Booklet 3G netbook, and a Palm Pixi to every member in her audience. Interestingly enough, Ellen’s big “kicker” of a prize was the Palm Pixi, which she revealed at last and after the commercial break. Seriously, studio audience, are you truly more excited about the Palm Pixi than the Nook? Needless to say it was a pretty impressive and generous give away—and needless to say, we’re pretty darn jealous.

Check out the video clip. WARNING: there will be screaming.

I spent a fortune on a Copilot+ PC, and I’ve barely ever touched Microsoft’s AI

Microsoft needs to give Copilot+ PC owners a reason to use Copilot

There is a dedicated Copilot key on my ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED. Months after buying the laptop, it may be one of the least important keys on the entire keyboard. My Zenbook UM3406 runs on AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 series processor, complete with a dedicated NPU offering up to 50 TOPS of AI performance. That qualifies it as a Copilot+ PC, which makes it a part of what Microsoft once described as the new era for Windows.

AI is already a regular part of my workday. I use it for research, brainstorming, and working through ideas. But rather than relying on something built into the Windows OS, I've relied on the likes of ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

I bought into a brighter future, but my digital life bills monthly subscriptions

My day runs on streaming, cloud storage, AI, transport, and smart devices. None of it feels expensive until I realize almost nothing is ever fully paid for

Before I’ve properly started the day, several companies have already clocked in. Spotify or YouTube Premium handles the music, Google One keeps my files available, and an AI subscription is waiting in another tab to help me work faster.

Most of these charges earn their place. They save time, remove friction, and keep the day moving. I barely notice them until I think about what would stop working if one payment didn’t go through.

What happens when AI detectors fail? Researchers say we must be trained to spot fake AI faces

Researchers say spotting AI faces may soon depend more on people than software

Artificial intelligence has become remarkably good at creating fake human faces. So good, in fact, that the old tricks people relied on - counting fingers, spotting warped earrings, or looking for distorted backgrounds - are quickly becoming obsolete. According to a new study highlighted by the BBC, the next line of defence may not be a better AI detector at all. It might simply be a better-trained human.

Researchers from the University of Aberdeen, working alongside Australia's National University, found that people can dramatically improve their ability to distinguish AI-generated faces from real ones after a relatively short period of structured training. Instead of hunting for obvious visual glitches, participants were taught to recognise subtle patterns that modern image generators still struggle to replicate consistently.
