@TsuyoshiIto: Well, it looks like we aren't the only ones arguing about this あなたは伸ばす派?伸ばさない派? :). (Also, do you know what a アクセント辞典 is?)

@TsuyoshiIto: To make sure I looked up コンピュータ in my 新明解日本語アクセント辞典 which is used by television broadcasters in Japan, and both 長音なし・あり are listed.

@TsuyoshiIto: Google gave me 2,080,000 hits for "コンピュータから" also バッテリ and センサ I hear a lot, but I work in a technical industry so I might have bias.

@TsuyoshiIto: I changed my key so that I hope everything matches up. Basically, 1) becomes original spelling in katakana, and 2) becomes newer spelling :). If you find any other problems let me know. Thanks!

@sawa: It's not a guess (although you might be right about the computer industry thing).

@Matt: Yeah, I did quite a bit of searching concerning the etymology of スムーズ and スムース, but I could not find anything conclusive (I will make a note that it might not be applicable and see if anyone can give any conclusive evidence about it). Thanks for the information.

comment Less-approximate and more-approximate forms of loan words
@TsuyoshiIto: (1) Yes, you are correct (thank you for being an alert reader), I added an explanation. (2) The links state two things that I want to point out about "th", THもSもカタカナで書くと「ス」 and -th で終わる語は「ズ」でなく,「ス」の場合がほとんどのようです。, they both don't talk about the history, but I think those 2 points say something (If I find a history link, I will post it).
