A new Sony Walkman is coming to CES
A sign outside the grounds of the Las Vegas Convention Center here at CES shows a new Walkman-branded product from Sony, which would mark the second hyped Walkman release in just a few months' time after the debut of the A17 last September. The new device looks like classic Sony design, featuring a curved, matte black shell highlighted by a gold-tone headphone jack and unusual placement of the transport controls — play / pause and track advance all appear to be placed along the edge.

Things We Like for 2015: A Realist’s Guide to CES
We took a team of experienced editors and writers to the biggest electronics show of the year: CES 2015. And instead of writing up hundreds or thousands of posts on what’s in Las Vegas, we wrote a single list of the things that we might recommend in the coming year. The items we picked are a mixture of things: those that we feel people will find useful or need in their daily lives, a few whimsical picks that we think will make life...

CES: Everything Old Is New Again
The biggest trends at International CES were actually technological concepts that have been around for decades, if not centuries. Friday is the last official day of International CES, the giant technology trade show in Las Vegas. It is also, as it happens, the eighth anniversary of the introduction of the original iPhone. These two facts stand in interesting contrast — one is a loud and flashy expression of what the future may hold, and the other is a life-changing technology we hardly...

I Saw the Future in Las Vegas, and It’s SkyMall
Like any good American child, I dreamed that adulthood would mean living in a house filled with stuff from the SkyMall catalogue. My dog would eat from an elevated dog bowl and play in a yard stalked by a garden yeti. I would offer my guests an all-edge brownie, and perhaps a drink delivered by Roswell, the alien butler. An automatic cereal-dispenser would portion my breakfast. Lighted slippers would guide my way to the bathroom or the refrigerator at night.

Nvidia announces ‘supercomputer’ for self-driving cars at CES 2016
Nvidia is kicking off CES 2016 with its traditional first keynote. CEO Jen-Hsun Huang wasted no time getting to the "punchline," a new computer for cars he's calling the Drive PX2, the follow-up...

Fitbit’s new wearable is a fitness watch called Blaze
How do you compete in a growing smartwatch market without making a smartwatch? You make a dedicated fitness watch, one with smart notifications, but without all of the third-party app complications that come with a full-featured smartwatch. At least, that’s what Fitbit’s strategy seems to be; last year, it added the giant Surge watch to its stable of popular, lightweight activity trackers.

BMW's CES fever dream: a beautiful i8 Spyder with ridiculous technology
At CES today, I watched a man wave an empty car into an open parking spot. But that's old hat, really. Self-parking cars have been around for a while, and I even served as a hapless passenger in a self-parking BMW i3 last year. Science fiction brushes up with the auto industry so regularly these days — not just in concept form, but in production — that eliciting a genuine jaw-drop is nearly impossible.

Netflix Is Now Available Around the World
Netflix launched its service globally, simultaneously bringing its Internet TV network to more than 130 new countries around the world. The company made the announcement -- and the service went live -- during a keynote by Co-founder and Chief Executive Reed Hastings at CES 2016. “Today you are witnessing the birth of a new global Internet TV network,” said Hastings. “With this launch, consumers around the world -- from Singapore to St. Petersburg, from San Francisco to Sao Paulo..."

Up close with Segway's new personal robot
Forget the Segway you knew. The next generation of this personal mobility device is smarter, smaller and, yes, cuter, than ever before. Intel teased the bot at its CES keynote on Tuesday, but it wasn't until the official unveiling on Wednesday that we finally get a good look at the black and white robot.

We Test Drove A Bionic Exoskeleton That Will Make You Rethink Aging
R70i looks like the blue, robotic love child of C-3PO and Iron Man. Glowing lights line the bionic exoskeleton’s joints, which bend only at odd angles, and a chest plate gives the entire outfit a Superman vibe. But far from bestowing its wearers with superpowers, this bionic exoskeleton mimics the aging process, to help raise awareness and empathy for the elderly. When I strapped into Genworth’s R70i Aging Experience at CES 2016, an enormous consumer technology conference in Las Vegas...

BMW shows off mirrorless i8 concept car at CES
BMW showed off a concept car Wednesday that has no mirrors. The rear-view and side-view mirrors in the i8 are replaced by three cameras and a special screen to show drivers what's behind and around their cars. The i8 concept car was unveiled during the CES in Las Vegas. Two of the cameras are on the exterior of the car where side mirrors are normally located. But the struts that hold the cameras are significantly slimmer than existing designs.

Meet Alto Tech's 'Cool Glass,' a vastly cheaper alternative to Google Glass
Not surprisingly, no one at the Alto Tech booth at CES wanted to call its Cool Glass a knockoff of Google Glass. Sure, it looks almost identical. The name’s nearly the same. But Alto Tech representatives said that it developed a custom fork of Android to power it, and that the applications it developed were proprietary. (There’s an SDK for developers to tap into, too.) But I’ve used Glass, and unless my memory deceives me, Cool Glass offers nearly the same experience at a fraction of...
