Uno's speed-reading wristband feels like a work in progress
Wearing the Uno Noteband makes me feel as if I'm in an '80s spy movie. Whenever I receive a message on my smartphone, the device on my wrist vibrates. One swipe later and words are being flashed at my eyes, eight per second, 505 per minute. Perhaps it's a coded, subliminal message that'll activate the dormant part of my brain that was conditioned by that rogue Soviet general. It's not, of course; it's my friend Sarah telling me that she busted her ankle at the gym. Perhaps it's better if some things remain in the fantasy world, where the dour practicalities of life can't tarnish them.

Spritz's speed-reading tech shows up to 1,000 words a minute, makes its debut on Samsung devices

That "app," as we call it, isn't really an app at all: it's Spritz's speed-reading technology, and if all goes according to plan, it will soon be embedded into loads of websites, apps and wearables devices. For now, though, the tech is making is debut on the GS5 and the Gear 2, with a public SDK set to come out in a few weeks.
