The dead rise again in this fall’s Call of Duty title, Activision confirmed on Monday.
The FAA on Sunday released its official rules for “small unmanned aircraft systems”—drones—clearly defining what users can and can’t do going forward. A lot of the “limitations” are designed to minimizes risks to people and property on the ground, but also ensure that the public doesn’t feel these drones are invading on their privacy. For example, one rule proposes that drones can’t fly over people, except those directly involved with the flight.
Intel already used the Consumer Electronics Show as a platform to introduce its newest 5th Generation Core micro-architecture (14nm Broadwell), but that’s not all it wanted to show off. On a somewhat smaller scale, Intel today introduced its Compute Stick, a $149 dongle that turns your HDMI display into a low-power Windows 8.1 PC. And though it may seem similar to media streaming devices like Amazon’s Fire TV stick, you can do more with Intel’s device.

Samsung announced a whole bunch of new smart TVs and home appliances on Monday here at CES, but the company’s most exciting new gadget may just be a business card-sized solid state drive. The Portable SSD T1 doesn’t have the most original name, but it lets you carry a full terabyte of files in the palm of your hand.
The Internet of Things is coming for all of us, but it’s also coming for our pets. The most obvious reason to strap a piece of technology to your beloved cat or dog is to track them down if they run away, but WÜF takes things a few steps further.
There are plenty of pet trackers on the market today, but most aren’t exactly sleek or high-tech. Then there’s Pip, a new Kickstarter project that promises to deliver the ultimate pet tracker if it can hit its crowd-funding goal.
There are a few reasons why Pip smokes the competition. First, it’s sleeker and smaller than most alternatives, which means your pet won’t mind having one strapped around its neck. Second, it lasts way longer than the competition, only needing to recharge once every three months. Finally, it’s designed to work with a special smartphone app for a totally seamless experience.
