Why you should use two-step authentication
If you're looking for one of the best ways to protect your digital life, look no further than two-step authentication. In this week's featured gdgt Central post, we explore why you should be using two-step authentication, and the companies that currently take advantage of it.

Leap Motion Leap
The first device that tries to make the awesome tech of Minority Report accessible to everyone, the Leap stumbles in its execution. While its cool factor is through the roof, critics report that its use is unintuitive, and that there just isn't enough application support for the device. While it might make you feel like Tom Cruise for a while, it will eventually start collecting dust unless more developers begin to capitalize on its unique input method.
