That said, wouldn’t it also be nice if you could peruse and purchase all the show’s products in a single place?

This year, things are going to be a bit different. Amazon’s CES Showcase will feature a host of inventive products, from high-end audio components to the latest in home automation, all culled directly from its showroom floor. The showcase will essentially function as a central hub for all things 2016 CES-related, thus providing quick access to the latest product reveals, interviews, and video reviews featured on Digital Trends and a few other select publications.

Afterward, you’ll just have to wait like the rest of us …

What are mouse jigglers, and can they keep statuses active?

Undetectable Mouse Mover at a computer.

It makes sense that mouse jigglers have gained prominence alongside the recent rise in jobs becoming remote positions. If more workers are working from home and away from employers' direct supervision, employers are going to try to find new ways to supervise their remote employees.
