Carbon 智能手表

我们的手腕现已成为一个竞争激烈的"新战场"，Pebble这样的创业公司正在与三星等科技巨头一决雌雄，而Jawbone UP和Nike+ FuelBand之类的活动追踪产品也正在展开较量。一款名为"Carbon"的可穿戴太阳能充电器也希望加入这场争夺，目前已在众筹平台Kickstarter上发起了一个众筹项目。

Carbon早在几周前便揭开了神秘面纱，这是一款可以戴在手腕上的充电器，内置了简单的太阳能电池板，配备800 mAh电池和USB充电接口，采集的太阳能可转换为能供智能手机通话三小时的电量。Carbon虽然创意很酷，在紧急情况下也能派上点用场，但作为可穿戴工具并不太实用。

根据Carbon开发商EnergyBionics从支持者那里搜集的反馈信息，该公司发现表盘可以提升用户对这款可穿戴设备的兴趣，于是便在最新升级中增加了表盘。Carbon的设计看上去与普通手表无异，外形酷似苹果iPod nano，还有多款表带可供用户选择。

新表盘可以作为薄膜覆盖在现有太阳能电池上，而表针则能够在手表机心的驱动下活动。用户可通过Carbon侧面按钮设置时间，表盘由Carbon的现有电池供电——EnergyBionics表示这不会影响Carbon的总体电池续航时间，因为它采用高效节能的处理器。

虽然从许多方面来看，表盘的增加只能算上是一次小幅的升级，但如果想让这款产品变得更有用，它将是一个决定性因素。作为一块备用电池，Carbon在可穿戴设备领域原本属于另类，但随着它也能当作真正的手表使用，由此让普通消费者更容易接受了。

你或许仍会将手腕留给下一代品质突出的智能手表，但如果你想要一块紧急备用电池，而且也愿意以与购买更小容量电池相同的价钱来体验佩戴和携带上的便利，那么就应该抓紧时间订购Carbon。如果一切进展顺利，Carbon将在今年八月出货，具有指针式电子表盘的版本预订价格为130美元。（译：皓岳）

Lindsay Lohan Breakup Confirmed by Lohan, Locksmith, Police [Gossip Roundup]

Farewell, last season's Suri Cruise fashions. Goodbye, Amy Winehouse's bathing suit. Adieu, humanoid version of Lauren Conrad. And so long, LiLo and SamRon's fairytale romance. Lindsay Lohan confirmed her split with Samantha Ronson and insisted the decision was part of a very healthy and mature effort to " focus on myself ." Upon hearing this, Ronson changed her locks and discussed a restraining order with police, so confident was she in Lohan's ability to turn productively inward. Lohan promptly had a run-in with the police . Who would have imagined such a messy breakup for this model relationship? Courtney Love's lawyer, on her client's drug-fueled plunge into broke-ness: ""Courtney noticed the money was gone when there wasn't any left."
