  Philips is piloting an intelligent supermarket lighting system that can help shoppers find their groceries based on their location in the store, the company said Monday.

• IBM questions the performance of D-Wave's quantum computer

  Researchers at IBM and the University of California are questioning whether a closely watched experimental computer used by Google actually relies on quantum mechanics as its manufacturer, D-Wave, claims.

• Connected clothing can tell how soundly your baby is sleeping

  Singing along to the Disney movie playing in the background, Dulcie Madden helped hand-package thousands of high-tech baby clothes from her start up in Boston's Leather District. Madden is the CEO and co-founder of Rest Devices, which just last weekend started shipping its Mimo connected "onesie" to stores across the US. The $200 system aims to help anxious parents by monitoring a baby's movement, respiration, position and skin temperature and delivering the information with audio to smartphones.

• NASA satellite to bring high-speed data to Hubble, ISS

  NASA's newest Tracking and Data Relay (TDRS) satellite, which will provide high data-rate communications to space craft, went into orbit Thursday night.

• Ford enlists MIT, Stanford to drive automated cars

  Ford is enlisting top U.S. universities to make self-driving cars a reality, announcing Wednesday that it hopes researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology can come up with advanced algorithms to help vehicles learn where pedestrians and other automobiles will be located.

• Google Glass user questioned in Ohio theater for suspected piracy

  Google Glass has raised privacy concerns in many countries. It now appears that it is being monitored as a potential aid to copyright infringement.

• MIT's new algorithm could solve thorny optimization problems
