While it's not the first time that a company has tried to become a manufacturer, this is different. Strickler says the main goal of this program is to assist creators in making their inventions more effective than they would otherwise be.

9. Gas Detector. This device is a lifesaver to apartment dwellers and is not as flashy nor complicated as other home devices currently on the marketplace. It displays gas levels digitally, and sends alerts right to your phone.

10. Brow Magic - It's not a secret that L'Oreal enjoys a little tech so it was only a matter time before they displayed some smart products at CES. The company showcased its Brow Magic, which can print perfect eyebrows on your face. It also introduced the Hapta, making it easier to apply lipstick.

Identity thieves will use your personal data (names, addresses, credit cards numbers) to steal your money or take out fraudulent loans. The thieves then sell the stolen information on black markets. These are some tips that will help you stay safe when doing business online.

  1. Secure websites. Most online stores offer free SSL encryption to protect customers' information. This means any information entered into their site, such as names, addresses, phone numbers, credit card details, etc., is encrypted so only you can see it. It blocks anyone from seeing the information you enter. Make sure that you have a valid certificate issued from a recognized CA when choosing an online store. When browsing the internet, look out for the green padlock icon near the URL bar.
  2. Your password should not be divulged. When you first sign-up for a new account you'll receive an email asking for confirmation of your username and/or email address. These credentials must not be shared with third parties. Keep them safe! If someone takes your wallet, they may also have access to your accounts. Instead, keep them safe on your computer. Also, it is important to change passwords every three months.
  3. Keep track of all your orders. Track where you send packages if you're sending items to other people or yourself. Many people fall for the trap of thinking they have sent something to them, but in reality it was sent from another place. Before you send anything, always verify the tracking number. Always get proof of delivery before you ship anything. If you aren’t satisfied with your service, contact the company as soon as possible.
  4. Know who you're dealing with. Websites will often ask for sensitive information like your full name, date, birth date, Social Insurance Number and bank routing number. These details allow them to identify you. Be careful what information you give out. If you're unsure whether a website needs this information, just Google "what does need?" and you'll find plenty of answers.
  5. Be wary of pop-up windows. Many sites bombard you with pop-ups advertising deals, special offers, and other products. Some of these ads may seem legitimate, but others are designed to trick you into revealing private information. Fake antivirus programs might ask for your bank information, credit card number, and social insurance number. To avoid being tricked, never click on links that appear suspicious.
  6. Phishing scams are to be avoided. Phishing scams are where hackers pretend to be reputable companies in order to trick customers into giving their financial information. Phishers will often send emails that appear to come from banks and retailers encouraging customers to log into their accounts and update any information. Hackers can gain control of your finances once your information is given. Hackers can also empty your bank accounts and transfer funds between accounts. Many resources are available on spotting a phishing scam, including How to Spot a Fake Email Scam.
  7. Do your homework. Before signing up for a deal, always read the fine print. You must understand the terms and conditions before you sign any contract. Make sure to read all information and understand exactly what you're agreeing. Avoiding hidden fees and charges is key to saving money.
  8. You can shop around. You shouldn't be afraid of shopping around. Compare prices from different websites until you find a good deal. When ordering multiple items, you can also compare shipping costs. Shipping rates vary greatly depending on which website you use. It is worth paying extra for faster shipping.
