| Franciscan Friars Want You to Text them Your Prayer Intentions Posted: 12 Jan 2013 09:25 PM PST  
The Holy Name Province, self-described as the largest group of friars in the U.S., announced that they are now accepting prayer intentions via text. Called "Text a Prayer Intention to a Franciscan Friar," the program encourages participants to text the word "PRAYER" to 306-44, according to a release. Senders will then receive a welcome message inviting them to submit their prayer intentions. After they are sent in, participants will receive another text confirming that their prayer has been received and will be pra…  |
| Find Your Child, Pet or Suitcase With ‘I’m Here’ GPS Tracker Posted: 12 Jan 2013 08:31 PM PST
Unveiled during the company's CES press conference, I'm Here is a pint-sized tracker designed to help you keep up with everything from your suitcase to your kindergartener. The tracker works using the same technology found in cell phones. Users can find out where the device is located -- whether it's in a bag or tied to a shoe -- whenever they want. If, for example, you arrive at your destination without your bag, simply ping the device to find out where it is. The… More About: CES, CES 2013, gps  |

But it hasn't helped solve the age-old dilemma of figuring out what's for dinner -- until now. Samsung showed off a smart refrigerator at the 2013 International CES that can offer recipe suggestions based on what you have in your fridge at the time. No photo magnets here -- the front of the 32 cu. ft. capacity four-door fridge is adorned with a 10-inch tablet pre-loaded with apps designed to help you and your family get organized. There's Evernote for shared grocery lists, so y… More About: CES, ces2013, samsung, smart appliance, smart refrigerator  |
| Suspected Thief Posts His Photo on Victim’s Facebook Page Posted: 12 Jan 2013 06:27 PM PST
James and Barbara McCall experienced a recent spate of burglaries at their guesthouse in Hillcrest, KwaZula-Natal, and found their Samsung tablet missing after the latest incident, South Africa-based IOL News reported. Upon discovering the theft, McCall changed the login passwords for his social networks; that's when he saw a man's photo had been uploaded to his wife's Facebook page. He said he believes the man is one of the burglars. "He probably did not realize he was doing it. Usually you never log off from a tablet, so it could have happened quite quickly."…  |

| Disguise Your iPad Mini with this Holy Bible Case Posted: 12 Jan 2013 04:30 PM PST LAS VEGAS -- We saw quite a few eccentric items at CES this year: an iPad man, the Direct TV kangaroo starting a impromptu dance mob, and even sumo wrestlers -- but one of our favorites was this iPad mini case by Japanese brand Ozaki. It looks like a Bible. Genius. This takes the "disguise your dirty magazine in a textbook" idea to a whole new level. I would have appreciated it, had such tech been around during my brief stint attending catechism classes. If the Bible isn't for you, Ozaki also has plain leather-bound cases that give the look of classic novels, and other book titles including The Old Astronomy Book, a dictionary, and even Dare to Play Your Tune, as seen above.

| Tina Fey Thinks Most People Are Too Boring to Use Twitter Posted: 12 Jan 2013 02:36 PM PST
That's what the comedian said in a short video, answering a question from a fan who wanted to know if she used Twitter. "I have never used it," she said. "I do look at other people's twit of things sometimes." Why doesn't she use it? "I think you should have to get a license to use Twitter because most people are so fucking boring that they should shut up," she said.

Cameras in hand, our team got some spectacular shots on the ground in Las Vegas. What was in all of our camera bags? The photo editor (that's me) carried two Canon 5D's, a Sigma 28mm f/1.8 prime lens, a Canon 24-105mm L f/4, and a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L. Our tech editor, Pete Pachal, was armed with a Canon T4i mounted with a shotgun Rodemic for interviews, and our reporter, Emily Price, carried the identical set-up. Tech reporter Samantha Murphy carried a Panason… More About: photography  |
| Liar, Liar? How to Know if Your Client is Telling the Truth Posted: 12 Jan 2013 01:25 PM PST Ever think a client is saying one thing ("Sure, I think it's a good idea, but I'll need to run it by the team") but thinking another? Hint: They do it all the time. But by understanding a few simple facial cues, you'll be able to match people's words to their actions, and see who's telling the truth every time. Check out this visual guide to what your client is really saying.

| Things Get Weird and Wonderful at CES 2013′s International Pavilion Posted: 12 Jan 2013 12:05 PM PST
They're kind of off the beaten path. You won't find them in the giant Central Hall, or the auto-filled North Hall or even the lower floor and tiny and quirky booths of the South Hall. No, they're a walk away in the ballrooms of the Las Vegas Hotel (formerly the Las Vegas Hilton). Inside are dozens of tiny booths full of tiny -- and mostly Asian -- companies peddling unusual wares. When they saw me and my camerama… More About: CES, CES 2013, International Pavilion  |

It was really hard to narrow down all the tech stories that came out of CES to just 10, but we think these are the 10 biggest ones. They also reflect the wide array of diversity that was on display in Las Vegas. This year, there were giant tablets, Ultra-high-def TVs, super-fast processors and the world's first 1TB USB 3.0 flash drive.

| uNu iPhone 5 Battery Case Doubles Your Battery Life Posted: 12 Jan 2013 10:47 AM PST
While that's still far from what feature phones can manage, it's a significant improvement and would come in handy in many situations. The great thing about this case is how little bulk it adds. It's 15mm thick and actually looks quite good. Another case discussed in the video below is an LED case that's still a prototype. It increases your battery life, protects your phone, and adds an LED panel to the back of it. The cool thing about the LED panel is that you can connect to it with Bluetooth and push custom notifications to it. You can already use the the… More About: CES, CES 2013, iphone cases  |

As it turns out, Schiller didn't really mean it. Or, at least, he was misquoted. On Thursday, the Shanghai Evening News ran a story with the headline: "Apple will not push a cheaper smartphone for the sake of market share." The piece then quoted Schiller saying Apple would not launch a cheap iPhone just for the sake of expanding its market share. More About: apple, cheap iPhone, iphone  |
