IoT: "smart city" Dublin

An Unexpected Capital for the Internet of Things: @ NationalGeographic

"Dublin aims to be the largest city to be fully covered in sensors. In total there will be about 200 gateways - at least one per square kilometer - each containing up to a dozen sensors, depending on specific needs. The pilot project will use Intel Quark technology developed in Ireland, which allows for low power usage."

smartphone: "Droid Turbo"

New Motorola Smartphone Leaves Galaxy S5 And iPhone 6 Outgunned - Forbes:

"The main talking point of the Droid Turbo is its 2k (2,560 x 1,440) 5.2-inch pixel display. 2k resolutions already exist on the LG G3 (5.5-inch) and Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (5.7-inch), but this is the first time we’ve seen it used on anything that could just about be used with one hand."
