CES 2014 is flush with 3D printers this year, and while they’re getting cheaper and easier to use, you still need to either buy 3D models online to print, or design your own which requires know-how of 3D modelling software. But we all know how to use a crayon or magic marker to draw, and the folks behind the 3Doodler are counting on that. It lets you freehand draw a 3D creation, and while it’s easy to operate, a heaping helping of patience and precision is required.

Is this tiny flash drive from Kingston with a standard USB jack on end and a smartphone-friendly microUSB jack on the other the first of its kind? Absolutely not.

Anyone who’s tried it can tell you that cohabitation is hard. But Intel’s hoping that those Odd Couple hiccups can be overcome with its Dual OS project, which puts Android and Windows in the same, dual-booting PC. Felix, meet Oscar.

How often do you remove a USB flash drive from your computer, place it somewhere on your desk, and then have it instantly disappear? Too often. It’s one of those bizarre mysteries of—life like socks going missing in the dryer—that LaCie may have just eradicated with its bulbous new Culbuto flash drive.

Intel’s known as a manufacturer of chips that power your laptop. Simple enough. But it wants—it needs—to be more if it wants to come along for the mobile, wearable, hybrid-fueled world. Tonight, it gave a look at its ambitions. They’re huge.
