Gadget Ogling: Custom Kicks, Heartbeat Tricks, and Office Picks
I'm hardly the most stylish gent around town, but even I would consider
wearing a pair of sneakers I could adorn to my liking at any time
through their customizable display. ShiftWear's sneakers allow you to
choose from myriad colorful or even animated designs through an app.
Since the display is E-Ink-based, battery consumption is low, and a
charge lasts around 30 days.

Porsche Is on an All-Electric Mission
Porsche on Friday revealed plans to produce its first 100 percent
electrically powered sports car under its Mission E project by the end
of the decade. The Mission E concept car debuted at the Frankfurt
International Motor Show earlier this year. The four-door vehicle
utilizes a system power output that exceeds 440 kW and can accelerate
from 0 to 100 kph in about 3.5 seconds, Porsche said.

Yahoo Reintroduces a Messenger for This Millennium
In the midst of takeover speculation, Yahoo on Thursday reintroduced its
standby Messenger app in a more robust version, with a set of features
designed to breathe new life into a semi-comatose patient. Yahoo
completely rebuilt the app with a focus on sharing images and online
conversations. Tapping its Flickr, Tumblr and Xobni properties, Yahoo
created some collaborative juice.

Wikipedia Uses AI to Assist Human Editors
The Wikimedia Foundation this week rolled out a service designed to
improve the quality of Wikipedia articles. The Objective Revision
Evaluation Service uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to
help Wikipedia editors identify damaging articles more quickly and
assign quality scores more rapidly. ORES lets editors peer into incoming
content to identify potentially damaging edits.
