The HapiFork Video Transcript
Hey, I'm Donald Bell here for CNET.com at CES 2013. Ripe and eating a lot of food, free food. I should complain that have been served to me, and I need to eat it very quickly, and I've learned too late that I really needed this device. This is the HapiFork. This is entering-- cake start refunding on in February and is gonna be available for $99 in the second quarter of 2013. It is a Bluetooth-connected fork as intended to help you slow down when you eat, and I really could use that right now. So it has a built-in little buzzer, like a cellphone buzzer and it can monitor when you're eating too fast, it gives you a little force feedback here on the handle to remind you to slow down. It also counts the number of times you heave food towards your face and it counts how long you've been eating. And over all, the entire idea is that it's trying to slow you down because there has been studies that have found that people who eat slower ultimately consumes less calories because their bodies registered that they're full and thereby they eat less food. It's also gonna come with a companion, the HAPItrack that will monitor how happy you are. And those moments when you're feeling especially grateful or full of glee, or maybe you're full of glum, you hold out a little button and register exactly how happy you are in a happy meter. And it seems like a silly little thing, but there's really nothing out there right now that tracks your happiness. So you can remember, here at CES, I was full of despair on Saturday, but Sunday, I came across the HapiFork, and I was very excited, so I changed my happy meter there and you can track it throughout the year, maybe-- maybe a seasonal affective disorder and you would never know until you tracked your happiness using the HAPItrack. So hopefully, that would come too. Another thing about the HapiFork, if you're wondering how it gets its charge for the Bluetooth connection, it has a built-in battery that you charge over, what I think is micro USB. Yeah, little micro USB here in the back, so can we charge this? It gives you 15 days of battery life. You can run this to the dishwasher; don't run you're battery path to the dishwasher. So long with the HapiFork, you get a companion app that'll help you track how fast you've been eating, how many vice you've been taken. How often probably you've been eating too quickly. You also get a family-focus game that will help other people in the house build competes to how slowly they can eat, I suppose. You win the race by how slow you go. You know, it's also going to be, I believe a video-- it's like a video coach to help you lose weight. For CNET.com, I'm Donald Bell here at CES 2013 with the HapiFork.

When Josey Aimes (Academy Award winner Charlize Theron) returns to her hometown in Northern Minnesota after a failed marriage, she needs a good job. A single mother with two children to support, she turns to the predominant source of employment in the region -- the iron mines. It's an industry long dominated by men, in a place unaccustomed to change. Encouraged by her old friend Glory (Academy Award winner Frances McDormand), one of the few female miners in town, Josey joins the ranks of those laboring to blast ore from rock in the gaping quarries. She is prepared for the back-breaking and often dangerous work, but coping with the harassment she and the other female miners encounter from their male coworkers proves far more challenging. When Josey speaks out against the treatment she and her fellow workers face she is met with resistance -- not only from those in power but from a community that doesn?t want to hear the truth, her disapproving parents and many of her own colleagues who fear she is only making things worse. In time, even her friendship with Glory will be tested, her already difficult connection with her father, a lifelong miner, will be pushed to its limit and elements of her personal life exposed to scrutiny. The fallout from Josey's battle to make a better future for herself and her children will affect every aspect of her life, including her relationship with her young daughter and her sensitive teenage son, who must first cope with the embarrassment of his mother's sudden notoriety and then face harsh details of her past she was hoping he would never have to know. Through these struggles Josey will find the courage to stand up for what she believes in -- even if that means standing alone. Inspired by a true story, North Country follows Josey's journey on a road that will take her farther than she ever imagined, ultimately inspiring countless others, and leading to the nation's first-ever class action lawsuit for sexual harassment. Directed by Niki Caro. Also starring Sissy Spacek and Woody Harrelson.

Haley is a young stripper in a world of drugs, prostitution, and violence. Her boyfriend J.J. is a petty thug tired of nickel and diming his way through life. With a huge payoff in mind, he forces Haley to seduce a strip club patron named Big Game James. An ambush quickly follows, but it all goes bad and ends with J.J. bludgeoning James. He takes the phone, a .38 revolver, and Big Game's black 1964 Chevy Impala. Now a wanted man, J.J. slips on his black sunglasses to protect himself from the hostile elements and proceeds to drag Haley down the sleazy streets, past the trashy joints to the scuzziest depths of the City by the Bay.
Haley meets a lonely cab driver named Mark and sees a possible way out of her desperate situation, while J.J. grows even more reckless and destructive. Meanwhile, Big Game James (who was terribly forked over) staggers back upright, and covers himself with bandages. Thinking of nothing but revenge, the bloodied mummified thug embarks on his quest for revenge on the couple who let him live.
