[CES 2014] 3D printers have been making their way around the CES showfloor for a fair number of years now, but how many of them will actually be able to churn out stuff that can be chewed and swallowed? Enter the new range of Chefjet 3D printers that will launch later this year, where these machines will be able to print out food. Yes sir, a manna machine, so to speak. These 3D printers have the ability to make chocolate and sugar-based confectionery shaped in different ways that are pretty difficult to reproduce using traditional methods. The smaller model is known as the Chefjet, where it will be limited to monochrome creations, although the larger Chefjet Pro has the ability to create multi-colored objects.

The thing is, their entry cost could be particularly prohibitive to many, especially hobbyists, and this will most likely limit sales figures. For instance, the most basic model will cost approximately $5,000 (£3,000), while those who want to pick up the Chefjet Pro will have to fork out approximately double that amount. I can see chocolatiers looking for more and more complex designs, since no one is going to be impressed by the usual slab of chocolate any more in this day and age.

After two days of presentations, hours of judging, and 14 demos, we’re excited to announce the finalists for the inaugural Hardware Battlefield: Atlas Wearables, Blaze, CubeSensors, and Owlet Baby Care.

The winner will be decided tomorrow afternoon and awarded a $50,000 check and a robot-topped trophy.

Fourteen companies participated in our first Hardware Battlefield representing eleven countries. From medical devices to quantitative self gear to drones to bike lights, these companies launched for the first time on our stage at CES 2014 and were judged by panels of all-star judges.

Tomorrow, at 3:00pm PDT, the four finalists will present their product yet again to four more judges including Yves Behar, Bre Pettis, Jen McCabe, and Matt Turck. The winner will take home the first Hardware Battlefield cup.

All of our companies were amazing. All of our entrants are already doing some amazing work in their fields and most are well on their way to successful crowdfunding. We were proud to have them on our stage.

[CES 2014] While we all know that WWE offers entertainment wrestling with some interesting scripts, there is still the excitement of seeing beefed up men as well as ladies having a go at one another, with subplots running in the background at times, too. At the Wynn Hotel and Casino earlier this evening, wrestlers including Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin and WWE chief brand officer Stephanie McMahon has introduced a bombshell where the streaming landscape is concerned – the WWE Network will is set to be realized this coming February 24th at 11:05, with an asking price of $9.99 per month, which ain’t too much actually. For what could get you an average meal in a city, this subscription will include all of the network’s pay-per-views, WrestleMania included.

The kicker is, it will not be made available in cable subscriptions; but rather, it will simply stream on every device you own. However, one ought to take note that it will most probably not feature Raw and Smackdown as part of the deal, although old episodes will make the cut on the new network, in addition to pre- and post-show content. Making use of the digital network, would see WWE take full advantage of different revenue streams , and the apps will also allow viewers to purchase tickets to the org’s live events, gaining access to the e-store as well.
