TL;DR For CES 2017
Straits Times

The Consumer Electronics Show, better known as CES, is a yearly mecca for tech fans, where companies new and old show off their latest tech. Taking place every January, CES allows big companies to show off their latest products that they will be releasing to the public later in the year, or even some R&D tech that they are still working on. Of course, with such a big conference, there are so many new things that you can't keep track of all of them. So here is a TL;DR for CES 2017.

LG's OLED W7

Described as the "lightest, thinnest, and most beautiful TV on the planet" and they aren't being brash. The W7 is 2.57mm thick and comes in 65 in and 77 in.

NVIDIA's Shield TV

NVIDIA released their own streaming box, competing with the Chromecast and Apple TV. The Shield comes with 4K streaming for Netflix, Youtube, Google Play Movies, Amazon Video and even game streaming (if your PC is powerful enough). The Shield is available to buy now and is priced at $189 for the 16GB model and $279 for the 50 GB model.

Honor 6X: the new iPhone "killer"?

Huawei showed off its new phone, the Honor 6X, which is set to sell for $250, and has average specs with one exception – a dual-camera configuration. The only other phone that has a configuration similar to that is the iPhone 7 Plus, which goes for $649 on retail. A budget phone that makes sure that your Insta photos look good?!? Who wouldn't get it?

Dell's New XPS 13

After its initial release in 2016, Dell decided to press the refresh button to release its new Kaby Lake processor based 2-in-1 XPS 13. This may the best tech showed off in CES and is setting a new standard on what laptops should be like. Make sure you keep this on your radar when you think you need a new laptop that's ultraportable and pleasing to look at.

2 TB Storage – Kingston, why?

Unlike the other sleek and elegant items on this list, Kingston announced a USB stick. A 2TB USB stick, for that matter. No more having to carry multiple USBs around. The DataTraveler Ultimate GT is a YUGE USB stick and can carry 70 hours of 4K resolution or 19,000,000 term papers. No need to delete anything anymore.

This TL;DR didn't cover everything about CES 2017. Be sure to check out the other gadgets and electronics in CES 2017. Also be on the lookout for the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in March, for those new smartphones that we'll be getting.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
