| LED Glasses Make Programming Fun and Fashionable [VIDEO] Posted: 10 Nov 2012 08:18 PM PST Computer programming and fashion-forward sensibilities don't always go hand in hand. But Kickstarter Bright Eyes hopes to change that with a pair of glasses that take cool to a digital level. Though these LED glasses might look like something rapper Lil Wayne would wear, they're meant to encourage people to get involved in the process of coding -- something that has become an important language in today's ultra-tech society. The glasses come with a DIY kit that help you program the 174 LED lights, and a micro SD card that allow the glasses to play graphics and videos.

| Former Apple Employee Says Tim Cook Isn’t Passionate About Tech [VIDEO] Posted: 10 Nov 2012 03:45 PM PST Former Apple sales executive David Sobotta is publishing a book about the two decades he spent at the company, and it looks like Apple CEO Tim Cook won't like the reviews. In The Pomme Company, Sobotta writes Apple employees generally have a fear of being wrong. "You don't make mistakes at Apple and get a second chance.

Cook's most recent decision to be questioned was the firing of high ranking execs like Scott Forstall. Sobotta said he wasn't surprised by the news. SEE ALSO: Apple E…

| Give This Gutter-Cleaning Robot to Your Chore-Phobic Friend Posted: 10 Nov 2012 01:38 PM PST
This bot from iRobot does one of fall's most unpleasant around-the-home tasks: cleaning the leaf-littered gutters. The Looj 330 is a one-pound bot that'll do all your dirty work.

Just place it in the gutter and hit the "Auto Clean" button. You can drive it from a wireless remote from the ground and bag the debris as it drops it. And the remote works from 50-100 feet away so you can multitask. Company iRobot created the self-vacuuming iRobot Roomba in 2002 and since then it's debuted a number of… More About: Gift of the Day, holidays 2012, present ideas
