Fitmodo: Under Armour39 Performance Tracker Review
I know what you’re thinking and no, this is not another sportswear company entering the wearable tech arena to cash in on all of you suckers. This is different, and that’s a good thing.

Why Google Didn’t Talk About Glass Yesterday
Remember last year’s I/O keynote and all the skydiving and bike riding shenanigans Google pulled? That was fun! Not to mention the big reveal: Google Glass. But if you managed to catch yesterday’s three hour keynote, you probably noticed that Glass was noticeably absent. What’s up with that?
Recon Instrument Jet: Google Glass For The Sporty Types

While most of the world has moved on since Superstorm Sandy wreaked havoc late last October, countless communities are still reeling and recovering from its utter devastation.

The Tiny Seahorse’s Tail Could Help Create A New Type Of Armour
Seahorses are amazing little creatures — the males give birth, they swim upright and they’re incredibly adorable. But did you know that the seahorse is one of the toughest little creatures on our tiny little world? In recent tests, researchers have found that the tail of the underwater equine can be compressed to about half its size. And that could have major implications for how we build the armour of the future.
5 Wearable Concepts Worth Taking A Chance On
Wearable gadgets are everywhere, and it’s not just the big boys who are looking to get in on the action. A handful of smaller and unique takes on the burgeoning trend are popping up on crowdfunding sites like Indiegogo and Kickstarter.

Fitbit Flex Review: Peer Pressure Sucks
Fitbit’s One is arguably one of the best activity trackers available today, and yet less than seven months since it hit the street, Fitbit has decided that a stripped-down version worn on the wrist was something the market has been clamouring for. Back in ’77, Bert Lance first uttered the immortal phrase “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” There’s a reason we still say it today.
