 It's Tuesday, February 12th, 2013. I'm Stephen Greenwood and this is 90 seconds on the verge, brought to you by the color orange. A mysterious metallic-like object seen on the surface of Mars appears to be nothing at all. Last month the Curiosity rover took a picture of what looked like a metal door handle jutting out from the Martian bedrock. A scientist affiliated with the NASA mission, however, has said that it's likely just a rock polished to a high sheen by wind. Come on. There's no way we'd find the secret Martian hatch until Curiosity Season 2. Intel will be launching an internet TV device later this year. General manager Eric Huggers confirmed that the company will be launching a set-top box with, quote, beautiful industrial design. Intel's box will also have a built-in camera. The camera could be used to provide personalized show recommendations or let viewers sync up across the world for a, quote, real social experience. So change out of those pajamas and get off the couch. And finally, Comcast has announced that it will assume full ownership of NBC Universal. The company is buying out the 49% of the media conglomerate currently owned by GE, which will give Comcast 100% ownership. The cost? A cool $16.7 billion. Comcast is also throwing in another $1.4 billion to pick up the properties at Rockefeller Plaza in New York and CNBC's headquarters in New Jersey. Silly Comcast, you're supposed to pick up Rockefeller Plaza before 30 Rock goes off the air. And that's it for today's top stories. Coming up tomorrow, meet the first Muppet AI that passed the Turing test in song.
