Six versions of ICub exist in laboratories across Europe, where scientists are painstakingly tweaking its electronic brain to make it capable of learning, just like a human child and hoping it will learn how to adapt its behaviour to changing circumstances, offering new insights into the development of human consciousness.

    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) said Monday it will begin sales of three new versions of its Zune digital media player -- its answer to Apple Inc's (AAPL.O) iPod -- on Tuesday.

    Microsoft originally introduced the new models last month. They can wirelessly and automatically update their music, photos and videos when placed near a user's computer.

    Apple has sold more than 100 million iPods in various shapes and sizes since the 2001 launch. By comparison, Microsoft joined the fray last year with a single 30-gigabyte Zune model and has sold 1.2 million.
