Surprisingly, if you can dream it, it can be built. But, most of the time, it'll cost you. It seems we're no longer just content to view the crackling Yule Log on our TVs.

He'd see it as an unmitigated disaster. Jobs wasn't a perfect techno-seer, of course. In fact, over the last few months, a few of his theories on tablets have been disproved.

Are We Living Better With the Jawbone ‘Up’ Electronic Bracelet? Posted: 01 Dec 2012 08:16 AM PST You've probably read all the stories about how sitting for too long can kill you.
