NetLED WiFi-enabled, app-controllable, LED light tubes come to Japan
Because deep down, all you’ve ever really wanted are smartphone adjustable WiFi-LED light tubes controlled by a remote server out in the ether. Snarkiness aside, that’s exactly what Japan’s Net LED Technology Corporation has done with a lighting system it lovingly calls NetLED. The setup isn’t for frugal types as, before even purchasing lights, you’ll need to plunk down 60,000 yen (around $780) for a netLED router that serves as an intermediary between those fixtures and the company’s remote server.

Samsung GT-N8013 ‘portable tablet’ hits the FCC, reveals few details
No big CES product reveal here — just the usual line art and test reports found in your average FCC filing. In this case, it’s one for the Samsung GT-N8013, an as-yet-unannounced device described as a “portable tablet computer” in the FCC documents. As PocketNow reports, however, the very same device also recently received WiFi certification (along with a presumably similar GT-N8000 model), where it was listed as a smartphone (there’s also a reference to “phone model” in one of the FCC docs), leading to speculation that it may be a successor or variation to the Galaxy Note (which was the GT-N7000)
