Today's Story Highlights

Apple Will Light the Wearable Tech Fire
I'm usually not a prediction sort of guy because it's cosmically silly
-- we're tiny little humans on a tiny little rock spinning in a very
large universe. Yet here I am, looking at 2014 and the latest batch of
smartwatch efforts from Samsung, Google, Motorola and LG. Here's what I
see: None of these manufacturers has created anything that will
resurrect the watch for whole generations of people.

Flappy Bird May Soar Again
The mobile game Flappy Bird seemed dead and buried, but a tweet from its
creator suggests it may yet rise from the ashes -- perhaps not quite
like the phoenix. In response to a Twitter user asking whether the game
would return to the App Store, Dong Nguyen responded, "Yes. But not
soon." Indie developer Nguyen released the game last May, having created
it in just a few evenings.

Android-x86 Just Might Make a Good Linux Desktop Alternative
Working with the Android OS on a desktop computer environment takes
personal computing in a new direction. How many will follow it remains
to be seen. The release of Android-x86 version 4.4-RC1 (KitKat-x86) by
the Android-x86 Project brings the viability of an Android distro as an
alternative desktop several steps closer, but it is still a work in
progress.

Sony Dreams Up Project Morpheus Virtual Reality Experience
Sony this week debuted Project Morpheus, its virtual reality headset for
the PlayStation 4 console. The project is in active development with a
view to a future commercial launch. A software development kit also is
under development. Morpheus features a head-mounted unit with a visor-
like display, which operates in tandem with the PlayStation Camera.
