The technology extravaganza that is CES is well underway in the Las Vegas desert. While companies battle for the flashiest product unveiling, many are focusing on the highest resolution displays ever seen, while others build on everyday uses like effortless traveling, smart cameras, and reinventing the console gaming system.
Catch up on the latest of our CES 2013 coverage here.
When it comes to ultrabook-tablet hybrids, Intel doesn't discriminate. Touch- and keyboard-enabled convertibles in sizes big, small, and somewhere in between are going to be faster, lighter, and more high performance than ever with Intel's new fourth generation Intel Core processor in 2013. The part-time laptop, part-time tablet devices running on Intel's new lower-power computer chips will do double duty for up to 13 hours — the biggest battery life gain in the company's history.
Read on for more about what Intel's CES event told us about the future of mobile computing, and see the new high-performance hybrids available this year for yourself.
The Creators Project, a revolutionary partnership between Intel and Vice magazine, invaded San Francisco's waterfront Fort Mason Center this weekend with an extravaganza of tech-driven art, film, music, artist talks, panel discussions, and creative workshops. Dedicated to supporting artists in realizing their creative visions through technology, the event was an astounding showcase of mind-tripping, interactive installations that entertained geeks and art lovers alike. And since no good fest is complete without dance-demanding, fist-pumping beats, much-anticipated LCD Soundsystem alumni James Murphy, Pat Mahoney, and Nancy Whang, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Squarepusher also headlined a 10-act musical lineup. The project, which has united more than 150 artists from around the world in its three-year history, drew more than 25,000 attendees over two days.
Didn't make it to the event? Watch out for it this year when it returns to Paris, São Paulo, Beijing, Seoul, and New York. But first, experience it all vicariously with a few awe-inspiring photos and glimpse some of the impressive artwork that was shown.

We spend a lot of time on our social networks. So much so that some people might say they live their lives online. I certainly do. So how hard would it be then, to get through your day-to-day life surviving only by those things that were provided to you via social media? One man, dubbed Mister SocialM, on Twitter, did exactly that — getting his phone charged, going places, and getting "things" through his online following for 48 hours in conjunction with Intel's IdeaJam and Katalyst (yes, that's Ashton Kutcher's company).
In a less extreme (yet still very socially-focused) case, a traveler named Justin Oliphant is currently making his way around the globe, being hosted by people he's met through his social networks with the Friend of a Friend Project. In a sort of "circle of life" effect, he documents his time with his hosts in blogs, Facebook posts, tweets, videos, and beautiful photos, and has already made it over 10,000 miles (from California to Chicago so far, by way of Arizona, Utah, New Orleans, and Kentucky) thanks to friends, friends of friends, and friends of friends of friends.
Not that you may ever need to, but if you had to survive on the goodness of your social networks and connections, could you? Would you?
All weekend long, I've been talking about my experiences at the Coachella music festival, but I was also there to check out Intel's Visual Life and Creators Project. Partnering up with some seriously talented visual artists, Intel (who sponsored my trip to Indio, CA by hooking me up with a hotel, transportation, and food) helped to outfit some of the Coachella stages with art installations, lights, and cool effects. Take a tour of some of the most amazing examples of what Intel helped to bring to life here in this slideshow.
This weekend, I celebrated alongside thousands of others at the three-day Coachella Music festival. Held in Indio, California, it's one of the largest in the US with around 226,000 in attendance last year. This year, Intel sponsored my trip there — taking care of my accommodations, transportation, and nourishment — so that I could check out the Creators Project: a joint venture between Intel and Vice to promote independent artists who use technology in their art. I'll be talking more about the project in the next few days, but first: a few awesome things I wasn't expecting to find at Coachella.
See the rest of the list after the break.
This weekend marks the 12th annual celebration of the Coachella Music Festival, and while there's so many amazing bands to see, there's also a lot of tech. Did you know you can watch it live starting at 4 p.m. daily? Intel sponsored my trip to Indio, California (kindly taking care of my travel expenses like flights, accommodations and nourishment), and for good reason — its Creators Project was in full force at the festival. Stay tuned for details on the project, but first, take a tour of some of the things we saw on day one.

You can catch gamer girl Morgan Webb hosting G4TV's X-Play, or dishing out the gamer tips within the pages of guy-focused mag FHM every month (am I the only gal who reads this as well? It's packed with gadget goodness!). However, Cat Schwartz from Ebay's The Inside Source caught up with Morgan recently to chat about her secret love of ants, how she got her start on TV, and her top five can't-live-without gadgets. Find out what they are (and hear my take on her picks) in this slideshow!
