Here at Cakemail, we obsessively share links to articles about ideas and innovations that we find exciting. While some links are silly and irrelevant, others are intended to get us thinking about how to do things differently, and better. It’s about time we started sharing some of those links with you, our readers and customers.
Welcome to our first monthly round-up of tech stories we just had to share. Some articles will be hands-on and helpful, while others will look at industry-wide trends and innovations. Enjoy!

Magic Leap: turning the space around you into an interface
In what universe do larger-than-life reptiles, robots and cartoon fairies hang out in a nondescript Florida office park? According to secretive tech startup Magic Leap, the company’s ‘mixed reality’ headsets are about to shake up the way we interface with any virtual environment — whether we’re working or playing.
This technology could affect every business that uses screens or computers and many that don’t. It could kill the $120 billion market for flat-panel displays and shake the $1 trillion global consumer-electronics business to its core.

Now you can do even more without ever leaving Facebook
Apparently it’s not enough that Facebook is the number one place where we socialize, stalk one another and plan activities with friends. The social network’s latest new features make it possible for people in the U.S. to order food, book appointments and buy tickets directly inside Facebook Pages and Events. Don’t be fooled,: this isn’t just to make your life easier… think about all that juicy data.
Facebook thinks a convenient browsing experience powered by friends’ suggestions can beat a mobile search experience that requires a bunch of typing and doesn’t understand who you are.
