More than a century after Thomas Edison got into the light bulb business, his bright idea is getting brainy.
Engineers at GE, the company Edison founded, have helped develop an affordable LED light bulb that can talk to its owners’ tablets and smartphones. The bulb, which starts at just under $15, contains a chip that can wirelessly connect to the Internet and communicate with users via a mobile app called Wink.
Wink is also the name of a new software business launched by the collaborative design company Quirky.

Verizon tonight announced the launch of a new mobile health platform, Verizon Virtual Visits, which will let you set up a quick virtual appointment with doctors using your smartphone, computer, or tablet.
With the new platform, Verizon claims its the first large company to enter the telemedicine market (at the time of this post, I haven’t found any examples to prove otherwise). It also fits right alongside Verizon’s moves towards exploring new markets — like ways to utilize its LTE network for connected devices.
Japanese automakers Toyota and Nissan have always done things a little differently.
But when it comes to company strategies for meeting future transportation needs, each firm’s approach couldn’t be more different.
Nissan is resolute on its decision to go electric. Toyota, on the other hand, believes hybrid cars and fuel cells are the way forward. And neither, according to Automotive News, is convinced by the strategy of the other.
Hybrid AND electric, for now
Notably, both manufacturers currently have hybrid and battery-electric models somewhere in their lineup.
