HapiFork, the vibrating fork

Meant to slow down the pace of your eating as a way to control your weight, HapiFork vibrates if you eat too fast, keeping you mindful of your meal.

HapiFork is mealtime analytics, tracking the number of times you've raised your utensil to your mouth per minute and per meal, and can also track how long it takes you to feed yourself each forkful, how long your meal took overall, and when you started and ended the meal.

The fork comes in a few cute colors and has a handy little carrying case to make traveling with your high-tech fork easy.

The fork itself felt a little chunky in my hand and it has small tines that reminded me of a fork you might find in a set of camping silverware.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
