Intel built a processor for wearable computing 
<http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/10/4715514/intel-quark-internet-of-things-wearable-computing>, 
and now it has a tiny computer where that processor can live. At CES 
2014, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich announced Edison, "a full Pentium-class 
PC" that's the size and shape of the SD card you might otherwise put in 
your camera. It's powered by a dual-core Quark SOC 
<http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/10/4715514/intel-quark-internet-of-things-wearable-computing>, 
runs Linux, and has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, according 
to the company. Intel even has a specific app store designed for Edison, 
and a special version of Wolfram that will come to the tiny computer.
