Because Earth’s rotation is slowing ever so slightly, we occasionally need to add an extra second to re-sync our super-precise atomic clocks to our planet’s rotation. But you know who’s not on board with that? Those damn computers, whose operating systems just can’t handle it. The last time we added a leap second in 2012, it …

Two or three years ago at CES, this post probably would’ve been about some 3D TV equipped with dorky glasses, maybe a smart set that’s more like a rusty Swiss army knife for home entertainment. This year, things are different. 3D is now a specter of CES past. With any luck, smart TVs are next on the chopping block.
