A letter from the Consumer Product Safety Commission says that all hoverboards are unsafe and urged retailers to stop selling them until they could get approval from the UL, an independent safety licensing organization. Street Fighter V plays well on a console, but not on a PC. Tech market researcher Strategy Analytics released data for the fourth quarter of 2015 that shows a 5% decline in global shipments for Swiss watches, compared to a 316% increase in smartwatch shipments in the fourth quarter of 2015. And do we need a robot arm for drumming?

int PatChoice = map(aRead, 0, 1020, 0, 6); // This maps the value of the pot from 0-1020 to a value between 0-5

Serial.print(aRead); // debug -- Sends the value of the pot to the serial port

Serial.print(""\t""); // debug -- Sends a tab

Serial.println(PatChoice); //

Apple CEO Tim Cook responded with a letter to customers saying they would fight the court order and called for a public discussion over the implications in this case. So, we have this discussion with Jason Snell. Also, The Wall Street Journal says employers are mining our data and we don't know what they're using it for.
