- Microsoft has released an iPhone app called Color Binoculars that makes it easier for people with color blindness to see the difference between colors they’re likely to confuse.
- Google WiFi creates a wireless mesh network and spreads strong WiFi love to every nook and cranny of your house. Here’s how it works and how to get it.
