Wearable Monitoring Devices are one of the hottest new sectors in the digital world. Remember the Pedometer? In the words of Tony Soprano -- "Forget About It." Today's new devices have moved far beyond the simple measurement of your steps. The latest and greatest devices are highly evolved from their ancestors. These new devices can count the steps you take, miles you travel, measure your day-to-day physical activity, monitor your heart rate, count the calories you are burning, and record your weight and vital signs wirelessly. The Fitbit One, which is a simple wrist band, connects wirelessly through bluetooth to your smart phone, and it records everything -- your total activity, the number of steps you take, and the amount of sleep you get. You can input your food intake,…

WHICH WAY IS APPLE HEADED You only need to have cast a few cursory glances over the online and offline rumor pages over the last two years to know that there's plenty of talk about an upcoming 'Apple TV - or !TV, as it has been described in some quarters, despite the existence of a British TV channel sharing the name. Indeed, it's the outgoing TV paradigm of channels that Apple is said to be gunning for, with a device that goes far beyond the current Apple TV. Yes, Apple does have a "TV," and it's a highly rated one - but it's very much the little box that slots underneath your present TV. Current speculation points firmly to Cupertino's finest selling us something much, much more substantial: the entire…

J.C. Penney's biggest investor, William Ackman, plans to sell his entire stake in the struggling department store operator for about $504.4 million - a loss of around $470 million from what he paid for it. The move comes two weeks after Ackman resigned from J.C. Penney Co/s board as part of a deal to resolve an unusually public battle between the activist investor and the retailer. Pershing Square Capital Management's Ackman disclosed in a regulatory filing late Monday that he was going to sell his nearly 18 percent interest - or 39.1 million shares. On Tuesday, Ackman said that the shares will be priced at $12.90 each, about 3 percent below Monday's $13.35 closing price. The news sent J.C. Penney shares up 47 cents/, or 3.5 percent, to $13.82 in…

Once upon a time, cruise ships were the last place you could find peace and quiet from the outside world since staying in touch via phone or fax was just about the only way to do so. And that was not even a valid proposition due to outrageous costs and uneven availability. How times have changed. Ship-wide wi-fi systems, onboard Internet cafes, and international maritime calling plans are all on offer. But that doesn't mean you'll enjoy the kind and quality of service you have at sea that you do on land. Connections can be slow depending on where and when you're cruising, and data-intense activities can eat up both time and money before you even realize what's happening. Since I am always up for a cruise and have been…

An elementary school in Carson on Tuesday became a pioneer in a $l-billion effort to provide !Pads to every student in the Los Angeles Unified School District. Broadacres Elementary School handed out the Apple tablet computers ahead of most campuse in the nation's second-largest system. The idea is to work out the kinks before other schools and hundreds of other students receive the devices. Broadacres is one of 47 schools set to distribute !Pads over the next few weeks. The devices for these schools will cost about $30 million. Supplying tablets for the entire district, about 650,000 students, will cost about $500 million. Upgrading schools to a campuswide wireless system will cost another $500 million. Parents at Broadacres said they heard about the !Pads from their excited children, who came…

The Biggest Talent Yet Have you been wanting to see all the hottest music acts this year but just haven't found you way to the concerts? They can get a little expensive, especially for the top acts.

All music fans can get their fill of performances by all the top artists all throughout September. And they can do that without even leaving the comfort of their own living room. iTunes Festival is having its annual listening party throughout the month of September. If you're lucky enough to live in London or have a visit scheduled, you…

In technology, companies are unveiling new products almost every day, touting each as if it were the one device that will truly change the world. Rarely is that true, and for every big hit there are many misses. For whatever reason - perhaps a steep price, lack of interest or just uselessness - some products never catch on and turn out to be big flops. And halfway through 2013, there have already been quite a few of these cases. The Chromebook Pixel is a great little computer. It has an crystal-clear screen, beautiful desig and numerous useful features, but at the steep price of $1,300, this Google laptop has failed to generate sales the way other Chromebook computers have. BlackBerry, formerly known as Research I Motion, was hoping to push…

Geeks aren't the only people wearing Google Glass. Among the people testing Google Inc/s wearable computer are teachers, dentists, doctors, radio disc jockeys, hair stylists, architects, athletes and even a zookeeper. Some 10,000 people are trying out an early version of Glass, most of them selected as part of a contest. To get a sense of the advantages and drawbacks of the device, The Associated Press spoke to three Glass owners who have been using the device since late spring: Sarah Hill, a former TV broadcaster and current military veterans advocate; David Levy, a hiking enthusiast and small business owner; and Deborah Lee, a stay-at-home mom. Glass is designed to work like a smartphone that's worn like a pair of glasses. Although it looks like a prop from a science…

A New York judge says she doesn't want to intrude much on how Apple does business after ruling that the company fixed prices on electronic books. Judge Denise Cote (COHT) made the observation Tuesday as she revised remedies that government lawyers proposed after their victory over Apple Inc. last month. The judge found that the maker of iPods, iPads and iPhones had conspired with publishers in 2010 to destroy Amazon's $9.99 e-book price. Cote said she'll likely approve remedies next week. An Apple lawyer told the judge the company continues to disagree with her antitrust finding and will pursue its appeal. But Theodore Boutrous Jr. also says that the Cupertino, Calif-based company will be a model corporate citizen if it doesn't win on appeal.…
