Google unveils Project Soli, a radar-based wearable to control anything http://thenextweb.com/google/2015/05/29/google-unveils-project-soli-a-radar-based-wearable-to-control-anything/ Project Soli is really a radar that is small enough to fit into a wearable like a smartwatch.

From Christian Broadcasting Network  Where everything is a demonic possession. http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2015/May/Kids-Summoning-Demon-in-New-Social-Media-Craze/

Andy’s: Plantronics M70 Bluetooth Headset http://amzn.to/1RwEVqG 11 hours of talk time, multi pairing and media playback on bluetooth 3.0 with a very long range. It also talks to you and gives you notice of how much estimated time it has left. Though the ear clip pinches more than the M50 (Discontinued), which is also a top performer with slightly less talk time and not as advanced for it’s features.
