Peep. Guns. America. There is something strangely satisfying about watching a boatload of seasonal candy getting blasted to smithereens by some heavy weaponry. Jesus is back. With a vengeance. Happy Easter weekend, everyone.

While the smartwatch craze hasn’t exactly reached new heights, consumers are gradually taking to wearable devices. At this point in time these devices are primarily used for displaying notifications, taking pictures or calls and even monitoring fitness related data.
