[Video] Is Nissan 3E Like Google Glass For Drivers?
It looks like Nissan is trying something different when it comes to the driving experience with their recent announcement of the Nissan 3E. No, it's not a new high tech car or anything like that, but rather a wearable device similar to Google Glass, but for drivers. It is currently still in the development stage, and Nissan states that"the device can be connected to the Internet in real time, allowing the users to overlay acquired information on the glasses, record projected images, and communicate with others by sending information to their glasses." Whether this is a move to compete with Google Glass remains to be seen or if this will catch on with drivers. I guess we will find out when Nissan debuts the 3E at the Tokyo Motor Show from November 22nd to December. 1st.

Upgrade Your Phone With New Parts?
Let's face it: as soon as you get a new smartphone and open up the package, it's already old and outdated. After a year or two, you can't wait to get the latest "it" product to hit the market because your trusty smartphone is not what it used to be. Either you deal with the lag issues bogging the phone down, or the battery doesn't hold a charge like when it was brand new. Sometimes, you just like your phone and would only like to replace parts that are broken or old instead of shelling out money for an entirely new one.
Well if that's the case then, the Motorola Project Ara might be of interest to you. Still in the development stages, it promises users will be able to swap out parts as needed. You would be able upgrade the battery, screen, and processor by simply putting the modular components onto an endoskeleton base. It's an interesting concept, but will have to wait and see.

Nonetheless, there are a ton of options for a person to read their favorite novel, whether you choose to use your phone or a tablet. Barnes & Nobles has just released the new Nook GlowLight as another option for people to read without all the extra features some of its other competitors have.
