Today's Story Highlights

Gadget Ogling: Cute Robots, Secure Tablets and a Conscientious Can
PLEN2 is simply adorable. A robot to seemingly fix all the world's
problems, if its Kickstarter project is anything to believe, PLEN2 is
possibly the most joyous humanoid machine I've seen in years. Maybe I'm
swayed a little by the infectious theme song in the pitch video. The
idea is to sell the basic robot and let customers get creative using
open source tools and 3D-printed parts.

Mars One Could Turn Out to Be Mars Zero
Mars One, a Dutch nonprofit organization aiming to land the first humans
on Mars and establish a space colony by 2025, appears to have run into
trouble. Astrophysicist Joseph Roche, one of the 100 shortlisted
candidates, was excited about the project until recently. However, his
disposition has soured. At best, things are not quite what they appear
to be, according to Roche.

How Secure Is the Apple Watch?
Apple typically has impeccable timing for its new product introductions,
but that may not be the case with its new smartwatch. In a gala event
last week, the company announced model and pricing details -- but that
came just six days after questions were raised about the security of
Apple Pay. Those questions haven't gone away, and now they're also being
asked about the Apple Watch.

En Garde, Apple! The Luxe Android Smartwatch Is Coming!
Apple fans won't be the only ones who can flash a smartwatch worth
thousands of dollars on their wrist; Android aficionados will be able to
do the same. Google, Intel and Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer on Thursday
jointly announced plans to make a luxury Swiss smartwatch. They were
skimpy on the details, but various leaks and media reports suggest that
the device may look like the Tag Heuer Carrera.
