Parting is such sweet sorrow
In our third and final round-up from Hannover's Cebit 2011 trade show you can find out more about the 3D displays that were on show.
We also have a report about the Tobii eye-controlled laptop which has a sensor that can see where you are looking on-screen and focus the computer's attention on that area.
More importantly, there's the crucial matter of the Cebit freebie sweet round-up. At its press conference on Monday Microsoft gave us a small packet of what turned out to be 'cloud' sweets to go with the theme of its main presentation. There were two rather pleasant cloud-shaped marshmallows in there.

A packet of Turkish sweets from a welcome pack turned out to be some nice chocolate-covered almonds and the groan-inducing Cebit 'micro-chips' were savoury potato snacks.

Of the three Microsoft has to be the winner for ingenuity.
