What’s that buzz . . . tell me what’s happening? While the Internet of Thing’s clarion call has awakened the early
adopters, many of us still have it on snooze alarm. We may have seen
bits and pieces of it, like those that have popped up as apps on our
mobile devices. Perhaps we’ve recently purchased a Smart TV — or have
recently been intrigued by Nest’s Thermostat [after Google plopped down a hefty $3.2 billion to acquire it].
Pet parents will soon have another way to communicate with their dogs and cats while they’re at work or out of town. PetChatz, which will ship in just a few months, is now pre-selling its Greet & Treat Videophone – imagine Skype that delivers treats and scents!
Over the last ten years, Google’s foray into the smartphone market has established its Android phones as a viable
competitor to Apple’s iPhones. However, in the years to come, mobile
revenues will be more or less chump change in comparison to the returns
Google will be able to derive from robots and artificial intelligence.
Our world has many different languages and, due to globalization, it is more and more common for people using different languages to communicate with each other. But this can only be done either by talking in a language that both people understand or by using the services of a translator. With Droid Translator all this will change – this mobile app translates, in real-time, conversations and text messages, in 29 different languages.
What comes to mind when one talks about disappearing text messaging? You know, the "now you see it, now
you don’t" type of communique that might have saved the career of one
"what was he thinking" politician with the unfortunate name of Weiner.
Panasonic’s new Toughpad 4K UT-MA6 packs an awful lot of power under the hood, and does so without compromising durability. Think of it as a heavily bumped-up Microsoft Surface 2. Pun intended.
Could eating a diet based on your blood type — O, A, B, or AB — help you shed some LBs while improving your overall health. That’s the idea behind the Blood Type Diet spawned by naturopath Peter J. D’Adamo.
It seems like practically everything has Bluetooth capabilities these
days, but there is one place the technology hasn’t hit yet- your mouth.
That is, until now. Get ready; coming soon to a mouth near you is the
Kolibree Bluetooth Toothbrush.
Radar and wi-fi have been a part of wearable technology for
dogs for some years now; you might even say that dogs have had a ‘paw
up’ on wearable technology. Of the new dog tech products being
introduced at the 2014 Computer Electronics Show (CES), I particularly
like prospects for the Voyce dog-wearable collar that monitors and
reports your dog’s health and fitness levels 24/7.
Unveiled today at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show, Ozobot is a robot that’s all about playing games. The diminutive robot is capable of recognizing and responding to lights, colors, and shapes; it uses this to react to stimuli in mobile games. Basically, it’s like Nintendo’s ROB for your iPad.
