It’s always a special moment when wandering around the massive, sprawling halls of CES 2019, you come across something you hadn’t heard of, and didn’t expect to see.

Epic Battery Life For Your Headphones
Even as we dig comfortably into the 21st century, recharging wireless headphones — be it finding the cable, finding the time, or simply remembering to do it in the first place — is a struggle for all but the most diligent planners among us. That’s why, after a week logging tens of thousands of paces around Las Vegas at this […]
A.I Predicts How Your Meal Will Look Like
Recipe books contain photos. You know why? Because most of us aren’t capable of reading through a list of ingredients and associated instructions and picturing exactly what is supposed to come out of the oven or other cooking appliance at the end of the process. Artificial intelligence, it seems, doesn’t have quite the same problem — at least, not according […]

Even if you’re not a sneakerhead, you probably have a favorite pair of athletic shoes that you run into the ground. That means they might be grimy or smelly, and you might not clean them as often as you should. Sure, you can toss them in the washing machine, but they’re going to tumble, rattle, and bang around, even on […]
Learning Coding Through Playing
Our near future is going to be packed with cars that can drive us around, robots to help with chores and virtual worlds to escape to when the real world gets a little dull. Teaching kids to speak the languages such technologies are built on is becoming just as vital as reading, writing and math. There are many toys aimed […]

The annual updates […]
Catering For Campsites Without Ice
Along with showing smart yachts and luxury glampers, Furrion used this year’s CES to present its new Outdoor Living lineup, a series of smart products designed for tailgating and outdoor entertaining. Chief among those products is the Rova, an iceless cooler that’s essentially an electric fridge-freezer on wheels, offering up to a week of cooling power. It’s a great solution […]
