Marketplace Tech for Tuesday, February 4, 2014
Every year on my birthday, I'm amazed to discover how many people on Facebook remember. Thanks guys. Well today, some people might be posting well wishes on Facebook's wall. The social network turns 10 years old today. And for a little 10-year-old, it's had some major impact on our online lives. And this week, the wearable tech company Pebble launched it's app store, offering downloads like Yelp notifications that will appear on your smartwatch. But there's a problem: Battery life. As wearable technology grows, our battery power will need to grow too.
