iFixit’s teardown of the Apple Watch has revealed that the sophisticated heart-rate monitor used is actually capable of acting as a pulse oximeter, allowing it to calculate the oxygen content of your blood by measuring how much infrared light is absorbed. This data would be useful for health and fitness monitoring, but the functionality is not currently enabled in the watch. As iFixit notes, there are a couple of possible reasons Apple is not currently allowing to watch to display this data … First, it may simply be that the company hasn’t yet achieved the necessary accuracy and reliability from the sensor....

[SPOILERS for those not caught up on Arrow ahead.] - Arrow began with a man running across what looked like a deserted island. His clothes were ripped and disheveled. His long hair was matted, his beard was dirty, but he was strong. The man raced through trees, jumping and climbing over rocks, and hurrying as fast as he could to the shore. He fired a flaming arrow at a pre-set pile of wood, signaling a fishing boat....

Though a relatively recent introduction to the mythology of Batman, the Court of Owls quickly developed a prominent position in the rogues gallery of the Dark Knight....
