Everyone wants a piece of the fitness tracker pie. Lenovo has quietly revealed its entry into the market, a Fitbit Flex-like device called the "Lenovo Smartband SW-B100." It appears that the product has accidentally hit the web — there's no official announcement from the company. Instead, a small product page has just popped up on the Chinese computer giant's website. The page is somewhat transparent about the company's goals for the device: "the Lenovo Smartband is for young people who take care of their personal health and are interested in new tech trend products."
Since the dawn of man, we've associated flames with heat. But since induction stovetops don't emit any flames, it seems like they're just waiting to roast your hand. That's why Samsung's latest induction range has "Virtual Flame Technology." A set of blue LEDs around the edge of each burner projects "flames" onto the side of your pots and pans. In addition to letting you know that the burner's on, the "flames" actually increase in size to give you an idea of the relative heat. And, of course, since it's an induction range, the burners only get hot if you actually have a metal pan on them. You will have to pay for the privilege, however: the range is part of Samsung's pricey Chef's Collection, and starts at $3,699.
Some people sure do work quick. Team Pangu has just made available a jailbreak for iOS 8.1—and it works on iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and the iPad Air 2, along with older devices. The jailbreak though is currently limited to SSH only, and it doesn’t come with Cydia installed and available for Windows only for now.
Study after study reveals the same thing: it simply isn't healthy to sit for extended periods of time every day. But making the switch and buying a standing desk is a big commitment. That's where Ikea comes in: the company has brought its stylish looks, reasonable prices, and goofy Swedish names to its very own adjustable standing desk. The "Bekant" isn't terribly special, but it's a relatively affordable line of electrically-adjustable standing desks. That means you can go from sitting to standing with the press of a button. Maybe that convenience will be enough to get you out of that chair. There are a few models available, starting at $489.99.
Apple plans to relaunch Beats Music as part of iTunes next year, integrating the recently purchased streaming service into its hugely popular music store, according to The Wall Street Journal. The Journal notes that it's only heard this information from a single source, but Apple bringing Beats Music into iTunes has always seemed like a fairly obvious route for this acquisition to go — it seemed more like a question of when it will happen than if it will happen. It's not known what the integration will look like, but Apple CEO Tim Cook has frequently espoused the benefits of Beats' hand-curated playlists, so it's likely that the service's general format won't be going away.
