Let’s be honest. Not all of us have $12,000 to purchase a gold Apple Watch, and to be quite honest with you, spray painting it faux gold doesn’t make it look any more luxurious. But thanks to a company named WatchPlate, you can have yourself a Gold Apple Watch for $400.
You’ve probably read hundreds of articles about the Apple Watch this week, and the companion apps for them, as there are now over 3000 that are compatible for the popular smartwatch, but the Tensio app for Apple’s wrist wear is in a class all its own; it helps you manage your blood pressure.
We’ve heard it before: product X will change the world. We heard it about the Segway and the iPhone. Rarely does a new product really change the world. The iPhone changed what we thought about phones. Now Tesla and their new battery called the Powerwall is supposed to change how we use power. Will it really? I don’t think so.

I didn’t plan to order an Apple Watch, but that subtle pull toward all things Apple finally became too strong. I ordered the mid-tier model because I wanted the sapphire crystal, but having an extra layer of protection over the vulnerable glass is always a good thing. That’s why I’m glad ZAGG just introduced their InvisibleShield HD for Apple Watch. The new product offers “High-Definition Clarity and Ultra-Durable Protective Film Protects the Apple Watch from Scratches and Impact Damage.” Considering the price of even the least expensive Apple Watch the $14.99 product is a good insurance policy. The InvisibleShield HD…
Facebook today introduces one-tap video calls within Messenger. This comes hot on the heels of Messenger money transfer, Messenger for Business, and Messenger platform announcements.

They’ve circled the wagons to be sure that competitors won’t be able to pick off appreciable numbers of users.
I’ve backed some great- and some not so great- products on Kickstarter. This time out is something that I think will stand out from the crowd. No, it’s not a tech project but rather it is a clothing project that brings technical know-how to an everyday garment. The OLIVERS Brief promises to be an uber-comfy boxer brief. As the project page explains, “The cotton boxer brief is a relic, badly in need of an update. There’s good news, however – we spent the past year building the perfect replacement.” The fact is, cotton is a terrible performance fabric and is…

With the availability of the Apple Watch coming soon, that can only mean that accessories are coming out left and right. So it’s no surprise that Elgato announced late Wednesday that their Avea smart light will be compatible with it.
Smartwatches seem to be “the” thing these days. Every company has one, and although some have been flops, it’s a business that seems to be building up and getting better as time goes on. And then there’s the Rufus Cuff.

Codie is a laser-cut wood robot that you’d expect in a Toy Story movie, that can be guided by children through an iOS app (Android…
I watch a lot of movies and television on my phone. Even more so, my phone sits at my desk at work flat, and sometimes it’d hard to actually see when a notification comes in. So when I saw a KickStarter for Stikey, a new portable stand and keyring for your keys, I was amused.

There are many variations on the common phrase, but the sentiment remains the same: you know you’ve made it when you find yourself fighting fraud in absolutely trivial areas.
