Wearable Tech: Computer Accessories

Wearable tech accessories have expanded to include devices that sync up with your computer. Here are two movement-controlled devices that, when launched, will almost certainly change the way we use desktop monitors.

Nod
Are your fingers tired of swiping and tapping? Do you sometimes dream of controlling your devices with a swish of your finger, not unlike the waving of a wand? Nod may be exactly what you’re looking for.

Getting It Right by Betting on Wrong

Imagine driving from Denver, Colorado, to Death Valley National Park.

You get on I-70 and head west, climb the front range, cross the high peaks of the Rockies, descend Colorado’s western slope into Grand Junction and then make your way across the Utah dessert to Fishlake National Forest, which, if it’s springtime, is likely on fire. Here you collide with I-15 and turn left to head south.

In the deepest dark of night, eleven hours into your drive and two short of your destination, the long smear of the Milky Way Galaxy fades behind the neon lights of Las Vegas. Against your better judgement you stop and wander into a casino. They immediately recognize you as a programmer and force you to choose one of two sides in a permanent bet.

Listen to iTunes Radio outside the USA

iTunes Radio was announced along side iOS 7 back at WWDC. The service did role out in the United States along side the mobile operation system but other regions (like Canada) have not yet been given access to the radio feature.

I quite enjoy the concept of the iTunes Radio and have been frustrated with the lack of availability of the service in Canada. To my surprise, it is very easy to unlock the radio. So I present you the instructions so that you may enjoy it as well.
