Tech Article: The Nod Bluetooth Ring

• If you've ever dreamed of waving your hand and controlling your thermostat, TV, computer, garage, or lights, well, Nod is a Bluetooth ring that shares that dream. 
• It's a $149 gadget available for preorder today that'll ship this fall. 
• The Nod needs to be sized to an individual finger.
• The ring has a dark plastic outer surface, and surgical-grade steel inside.
• Once charged, it lasts about a day.
•  Inside are a variety of motion sensors, including a nine-axis accelerometer, plus two Cortex M3 processors. 
• On the outer edge is a touch-bar and extra button controls. 
• The ring is worn over your forefinger, and it works like a superpowered pointer; point and move your finger, and a cursor moves around wherever you're aiming.
• The one thing Nod lacks is a microphone. If Nod had a microphone, it might not be as waterproof.

Favorite Resturant

My favorite restaurant is the International Buffet. They are located in Bergenfield NJ. I like to eat at that restaurant because I can eat anything I want or in the mood for.They serve everything and anything you can think of. They have crab legs, chicken, sushi, and many other cultural foods; their menu is endless. My favorite thing to eat when I go there is crab legs, lo mien, chicken fingers, and fries. If the International Buffet were to closed down I don't where I would go. Their prices are decent and is not too expensive.

• Quantum dots are tiny bio-organic nanocrystals made of semiconducting materials.
