CES 2015: Samsung to launch ‘most seductive UHD TV of all time’

There have been a lot of televisions touted as the sexiest TVs of all time. It’s all just a gimmick but the TV manufacturers of course want to get as much of an advantage as they can—even if just through marketing. Samsung then is set to unveil its new S’UHD branding (which we guess means Samsung Ultra HD) at this year’s CES. And the South Korean tech company is calling it the “most seductive TV of all time.” What makes it seductive? They’re making a giant curved 4K TV. Other than that, we don’t know anything much about the new TV, expect it will run on Tizen (as would all future Samsung Smart TVs). But we just have to wait a couple of days more to see if this lives up to the hype.

Find where the pizzas are with Pizza Compass

There is an app for almost anything these days so we’re not surprised to find out that even pizzas are getting in on the game. If you’ve had that hankering for some good pizza, let Pizza Compass lead the way. The app basically works to show you were the five nearest pizza places are. But it makes use of compass directions so it won’t be as accurate as you’d want it to be. But hey, it works on Android Wear, too. Happy pizza hunting!

Jack is the first WiFi-enabled wireless guitar cable 

Jack is the first plug in device which turns any guitar or amplifier into a WiFi device for wireless playback and studio quality connection to unmodified PCs, Tablets or Smartphones. Putting the power for low-latency WiFi at the disposal of musicians everywhere, Jack does away with wires and can connect to amplifiers or even PCs for recording, editing or uploading. The articulating Jack is said to fit most electric guitar and bass models. I don't usually get excited about Kickstarter projects but this one shows a lot of promise. Check it here.
