Tech Stuff: CES2014 — 4 Comments

  1. I got the iPhone 5S for my birthday in the beginning of December. Just this month, I got an app fitness tracker, Argus, for free. A $2 add-on app lets me measure my heart rate, using a combination of the motion sensor and the camera lens/flash. It’s very cool.

    Someday, I’d love to go to the CES, but I can’t justify it yet.

  2. I really like the idea of the co-processor in the 5S. My contract won’t be up until the next version comes out, but I will be hard-pressed to justify upgrading unless I’m having troubles with the 5 or running out of space (I don’t anticipate either).

    I had an app like that for the iPad called cardiograph. Since I still have the iPad2, I’m anxious to upgrade it, but I am having trouble justifying that, too, since the iPad2 does everything I need it to do and has plenty of space. When I do upgrade, I’ll get the 128G version. But the overwhelming feature list is gaining momentum — retina, lighter weight, and 128G. But there are still a couple of things they could do, and I think I’ll wait and see.

  3. I read about a 3D printer that prints CANDY in wacky shapes. Yay for candy! (It’ll also apparently set you back like 6,000 Pounds, er, the monetary kind not the weight kind).

    • 3D printers are still pretty pricey. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the concept. I think it’s the term “printer.” I’ve seen manufacturing tools that machine parts out of blocks of material, and they are fascinating. I suspect this is the “home and office” version.
