Memories serve as tools for learning and decision-making
People associate past memories with novel information, according to a new study. This memory-binding process allows people to better understand new concepts and make future decisions.

Buy a Samsung Galaxy S III, Get a Second Phone Free at T-Mobile
If you're a T-Mobile customer or a potential one, you can get a double dose of premium Android devices in time for the fall and save some cash.From today through Sept. 4, customers who buy the new Samsung Galaxy S III or other 4G Samsung Android devices can pick from one of three second devices free. The offer also applies to Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1, while supplies last (the tablet has been banned by a California judge in an Apple patents suit, but current inventory may be sold).
Back to School Promotion The three free devices are the Samsung Galaxy S II (regularly $149), Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G (regularly $99) and the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G (regularly just $29.99). New and existing customers will get a mail-in rebate card after signing up for a new two-year contract on the unlimited Classic plan or for a zero-cash down payment after a mail-in Visa rebate gift card when signing up on a new Unlimited Value plan.
If you don't need two phones, the older Galaxy S 4G is available for free on its own with a two-year plan.
The buy-one-get-one deal is part of an early back-to-school promotion that T-Mobile hopes will entice new adopters or plan-switchers to grab up premium devices to stay in touch in the fall.
"As we approach this busy season for families, we know it's important for them to easily and affordably stay connected, which is why we're making it simple to step up to 4G on our most popular Samsung Galaxy devices," said Andrew Sherrard, senior vice president of marketing, T-Mobile USA, in a statement.
Top of the Heap Samsung is the leading mobile-phone manufacturer in the world, according to first-quarter data, after having knocked Nokia off its longheld pedestal. According to Strategy Analytics, South-Korea-based Samsung controlled 25.4 percent of the...

20:50T-Mobile is beefing up its smartphone lineup this summer. The wireless carrier will roll out the myTouch and myTouch Q on Aug. 8.
Both phones feature an all-new version of the Genius Button, which is a set up wizard complete with how-to tutorials. The phones are targeting consumers who want a straightforward, seamless smartphone experience.
Specs-wise, the myTouch offers a 4-inch WVGA touch display and virtual keyboard with Swype. The myTouch Q features the same display but also has a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
Huawei manufactures both smartphones, which are 4G-enabled and run on the dated Android 2.3 platform, also known as Gingerbread. The devices are powered by a 1.4-GHz processor. Both will retail for $50 after a $50 mail-in rebate card with a two-year contract.
Voice Recognition Abilities The new models are equipped with a dedicated camera button and offer a 5-megapixel camera with auto-focus and LED flash for quality photo capture and sharing. Both devices also have a front-facing camera for video chat. A redesigned camera user interface aims to offer quicker access to key features, like the flash, switching cameras and choosing the camcorder option.
In a move to make the process of learning and using a smartphone's best features quicker and easier, both devices come with the Genius Button 4.0, powered by Dragon from Nuance. The button offers voice-controlled service. Users can access the new Genius Web Search, featuring voice-command capabilities like direct search among multiple sources, direct app launch and the ability to make dinner reservations.
The new myTouch devices allow users to set up what they feel is important without having to deal with extra steps, including a simple login process, a tips widget and tutorials for the most-used features of Android. A redesigned app drawer gives customers access to recently used apps, a separate tab for all downloaded apps,...

20:20Apple has stopped using an environmental certification program for its products. In response, at least one major American city has decided to stop using Apple products.
The Cupertino, Calif.-based company said Tuesday that it has decided to drop out of the EPEAT rating system, which is used to monitor computers' environment impact. As a result, the fifty departments of the city of San Francisco are no longer allowed to buy computers or displays from the nearby technology giant, although EPEAT does not currently apply to smartphones or tablets such as iPhones or iPads.
'Comprehensive Approach' Apple's decision could reverberate among other governmental units in the U.S., as well as universities, many of which use the standards as a factor in deciding which technological products to buy.
The huge University of California, for instance, has said that it is considering whether to continue purchasing Apple products. In addition, the federal government reportedly requires that 95 percent of its purchased computers have EPEAT certification.
Apple was a participant in the creation of the EPEAT standard in 2006, which was formulated by a group of technology companies, environmental organizations and federal agencies. Apple says that it will continue to meet rigorous environmental standards, such as the federal Energy Star energy efficiency program.
Company spokeswoman Kristin Huguet told news media that Apple "takes a comprehensive approach to measuring our environmental impact." She added that Apple leads "the industry by reporting each product's greenhouse gas emissions on our Web site, and Apple products are superior in other important environmental areas not measured by EPEAT, such as removal of toxic materials."
Batteries Glued to Casing EPEAT is managed by an independent, non-profit organization of the same name. On its Web site, the organization said that it regretted that "Apple will no longer be registering its products in EPEAT," and expressed the hope that...
