steep, however its pretty cheap when comparing it to
last years model, the FDR-AX1, and definitely less bulky

televisions

Intel Smart Earbuds
Intel is making a set of body-monitoring earbuds
Inside the special earbuds lies a tracker that not only syncs
up to iOS systems but also Android devices
The tracker collects all sorts of data including calorie
information, pace, distance, and time data
The earbuds also track the users heartbeat in real time and
offers a visible history graph on your device’s screen
An additional feature that all workout connoisseurs will love
is the automatic trigger to play a pump up or cool down song
when the users heart rate goes above or below the target
area
Intel will not be selling the smart earbuds itself
Intel plans to partner up with a company that's already
handling activity trackers, like Nike, Strava, FitBit, or
Jawbone

Project Christine is Razer's first attempt at a stackable

the online gaming community

(memory, graphics cards, and more) will be modular
and in a self-contained unit
This will allow gamers to swap pieces in and out as
desired
Razer is working on ideas to allow customers to
upgrade to the newest parts right when they become
available based on a subscription method
Project Christine is still just a concept, but the
company hopes gamers will enjoy the idea and want
more
