Citizen CZ Smart Score Details “The Citizen CZ Smart is a good smartwatch with solid performance and battery life, but the design doesn't quite meet what we'd expect from such a notable watchmaker.” High-quality stainless steel case Comfortable strap for a good fit Decent battery life Surprisingly good performance Inaccurate step count Not a "Citizen" enough design MSRP $395.00 Citizen has been making watches for more than 100 years, produces all its components in-house, and has been a pioneer in a variety of technologies, focusing on the use of light power and high degrees of precision. It’s newest watch, the Citizen CZ Smart , is the company’s first touchscreen smartwatch — and based on that heritage, we should be excited about it. As a fan of the brand’s watches in general, I was very keen to try it out. The more watch brands embrace smartwatches, the better the designs, comfort, and technology will get, so it’s important for … [Read more...] about Citizen CZ Smart review: Good smartwatch fails to capitalize on its heritage

Intel’s CEO Says Using Competitor’s Process Tech In Intel Fabs Is an Option
Intel's CEO Bob Swan isn't a stranger to conducting interviews, but his appearances have traditionally been limited to the financial community. To our knowledge, he hasn't held a question and answer session with the technical press in the past. That changed last week when we participated in a roundtable discussion with Bob Swan covering a wide range of topics. You can read the full transcript of the conversation below (after our commentary). Perhaps the most interesting revelation from the discussion comes in response to one of my questions – is it possible that Intel could license and use a competitor's process node technology, but inside its own fabs? Bob Swan's response, that it is a possibility, would have seemed inconceivable at the beginning of last year. Now it's a distinct possibility that we could see Intel use a competitor's (like TSMC or Samsung) process technology to produce chips in its own fabs. Intel's recent revelation that it will outsource some leading-edge … [Read more...] about Intel’s CEO Says Using Competitor’s Process Tech In Intel Fabs Is an Option

Turf tech: The surprisingly sophisticated science of the lowest part of the game
The average NFL stadium may as well be a space station. Between all the high-def jumbotrons, the Skycams dangling over the players, and the magical beer dispensers that fill pint glasses from the bottom, there’s enough technology in most pro football stadiums that it’s easy to assume that the playing field itself is the least advanced part of the entire complex. But as it turns out, nothing could be further from the truth. The grass on NFL football fields is, without question, one of the most painstakingly planned out parts of the entire game. Think about it: Grass is the ideal playing surface for football. Even with all the newfangled artificial variants and fancypants turf technologies that have sprung up to replace it, nothing matches the properties of real, natural grass. It is hard enough that a ball will bounce reliably and consistently on it, yet is still soft enough that it provides some cushion when you fall. It also provides the necessary traction to allow … [Read more...] about Turf tech: The surprisingly sophisticated science of the lowest part of the game
