Sony FES Watch has e

Sony is no stranger to the wearables game, having launched a number of smartwatches in recent years, including the Android Wear-powered SmartWatch 3. Now it looks like Sony is crafting a new kind of watch, but doing so under in secret.


The FES Watch is a wearable that's made out of e-paper. Both the watch face and the band feature e-paper, meaning that they can change looks any time. The Wall Street Journal explains that the FES Watch changes depending on the wearer's gesture and that it has 24 different faces that can be selected. Because it's just an e-paper watch with no 'smart' features, the FES Watch is expected to last up to 60 days on a single battery.



A division of Sony dubbed 'Fashion Entertainments' has been building the FES Watch, keeping its connection to Sony a secret because the company wanted 'to test the real value of the project' and determine if real demand for it would exist. After going live on Japanese crowdfunding site Makuake, the device has gained 3.5 million yen ($29,590 USD), well past its goal of 2 million yen ($17,000 USD). The FES Watch is expected to ship to backers in May.


Even though it won't alert you to new emails or track your heartbeat, the FES Watch looks like a pretty nifty device. It's extremely minimalist, has a nice battery life and can be personalized by the wearer. And while it remains to be seen if the wearable will gain traction with mainstream consumers, I bet that a lot of watch and gadget nerds would be interested in owning one.

Image
The majority of users are waiting for the next smartphone from Apple - iPhone 6 – this year. Unfortunately, the hype around iPhone began to gradually subside with each passing year after the 4th model launched. Therefore, it is possible that the sixth iPhone model of  will not be nearly as popular as it was in the beginning. Global audience perceived iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 much cooler than its early models New iPhones will not cause that “wow”-effect, which was in the beginning, when Steve Jobs' presentations caused a delight and admiration of every new Apple gadget.

Tips: Optimize your blog loading times

A slow loading blog can prevent you from getting new readers and it can also adversely affect your Google rankings.  If you notice your blog loading too slowly, or just want to optimize the speed there are a few things you can do. 1. Use a free web analyzer to determine where your bottlenecks are.  A couple good sites for this are Pingdom and GTMetrix .  These will test your site speed and list out all your elements so you can see which ones are taking the longest to load.  From there you can decide how to improve your speed. 2. Move JavaScript to the bottom of your template. This doesn't actually make your blog load any faster, but it gives the illusion of it because browsers cannot load any other elements such as images at the same time as a script.  So moving them to the bottom allows your other elements to load and render on screen first making the user think your site is faster. To do this, go to Design > Edit HTML and place your scripts just before th...
