Ford has worked out a new automated driving research project with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Stanford University, where it will continue from where the automated Ford Fusion Hybrid research vehicle left off (which was also unveiled last month, actually), and the combined teams will work on solutions that will hopefully kiss goodbye to a number of technical challenges that have proven to difficult to solve where automated driving is concerned, until now.

[CES 2014] 2014 is truly the year of Wearable Technologies (WT). When you see a company like RAZER, which is known for its high-profile gaming devices, enter a market like this, you can tell that the WT train is leaving the station and no-one wants to miss the next big thing. The gizmo pictured above is called Nabu, and this is RAZER’s competitor for both sports bands (Nike Fuel, Jawbone Up+…) and smartwaches (Qualcomm Toq, Galaxy Gear…). 
[CES 2014]It’s not news that Sony is investing heavily in the 4K content pipeline from end-to-end, meaning that they have solutions that span from when the content is created to when it is watched in people’s homes. In 2014 and with the rise of HEVC (a better compression standard for 4K videos), Sony can push deeper into 4K territory. That’s what the Bravia X line of television has been designed for.

[CES 2014] It wasn’t a complete secret that LG wanted to use Web OS in its TVs, at least to begin with, but the company has now made it official: Web OS will take LG smart TVs to the next level. This is not the Web OS that you may have known from the Palm days. LG might be using the core code, but it has revisited the user interface (UI) and the user experience (UX) design to make it truly shine on the big screen. LG wants to “make TV simple again” and it we love the idea because it is the one thing that TVs have always been good at. Is it possible to make a Smart TV simple? Maybe. 
[CES 2014] While most of us might think of cameras as devices used to capture moments and to snap photos of our food, there are professionals out there who use cameras to document events, such as nature, wars, natural disasters, and etc. Those professionals typically require cameras that are rugged and can resist the elements, such as water, which is why if you’re after such a camera, Fujifilm has announced the FinePix S1, which they are calling the world’s first “weather resistant” super zoom bridge camera that is able to withstand both rain and dust.
[CES 2014] Taking photos in the moment can be difficult unless you have your camera already in hand and happen to be quick enough to snap a photo before the moment has passed. Unfortunately for the most part, smartphones, tablets, and even dedicated cameras need time to start up the camera system which means that by the time we want to snap an image, the moment has passed. If you’re looking for a camera that will be able to start up quickly, you might be interested in Fujifilm’s FinePix S9400W and S9200. According to Fujifilm, both cameras are able to start up in just 1 second, and will have an autofocus time of 0.3 seconds and will be ready to take the next shot in 0.5 seconds, allowing photographers to fire off a series of snaps with little downtime.
