President Barack Obama declared Friday that Sony "made a mistake" in shelving a satirical film about a plot to assassinate North Korea's leader, and he pledged the U.S. would respond "in a place and manner and time that we choose" to the hacking attack on Sony that led to the withdrawal.

Samsung Launches the Gear Circle

Samsung released a promo video, which showcases the Gear Circle wireless headset. The high-end accessory was  announced  alongside the Samsung Gear S  back in September. The minute-long clip showcases the nifty touch controls of the Samsung Gear Circle, its ability to deliver notifications, as well as its well-sorted ergonomics.   Samsung Gear Circle is available in trio of colors for $99.99. The gadget’s design seems like an acquired taste to me, but its functionality looks top notch.   Check it out and tell us what you think. Source -  GSMArena
