Another big week in tech is coming to a close, and this has been a good one -- lots of interesting unveilings, speculations, hacks and oh, yeah, Google Glass, making this Top 10 Tech especially exciting.

If was certainly a huge week in tech -- so big we almost wished we had a Top 20 instead of a Top 10. Not only did we have our usual slew of gadgets and techno-news, we also had a big controversy around a certain electric car, a heart-warming 3D-printing story and a juicy (or not?) Apple rumor. The big controversy of the week stemmed from a _New York Times_ review of the electric Tesla Model S which criticized the car's battery performance. Elon Musk, Tesla's founder, not only didn't like it, but he revealed that he had the logs and data to prove the journalist lied. Controversy and a media frenzy ensued.

This week in tech was full of fascinating and often weird stories. In the weird department, how about a dress that turns clear when you get turned on? Gives the word "transparency" a whole new meaning, and could probably make dates a bit more fun. The dress was created by a Netherlands-based fashion designer. As for fascinating, British archaeologists unearthed the remains of controversial King Richard III, beneath a parking lot -- and researchers used them to create a 3D-printed reproduction of his face. It was a week especially full of scientific news. A new project to simulate the human brain with a supercomputer was announced, and Nokia announced it has received funds from the Eu… Continue reading...

It was another exciting week in tech, with a major announcement -- the new BlackBerry 10, and a slew of other great stories. The biggest story of the week was probably the launch of a new flagship phone, the touchscreen-only BlackBerry 10. The product that the company, now named simply BlackBerry, has bet its entire future on. The other two product announcements were not as earth-shattering perhaps, but still significant: Apple confirmed it's launching a 128GB iPad and Nokia launched a Spotify competitor.

#SuryaRay #Surya 1. Intel's Awesome Future Laptop Intel knows what computers will look like next year, and the chip manufacturer gave the world a sneak peek at CES 2013 with its reference PC design for the next generation of Core processors. Take a look at what the future looks like: http://on.mash.to/THA8Xq. _Photo by Mashable_ Click here to view this gallery. The long-anticipated 2013 International CES came and went in a flurry of techno-goodness. Luckily, Mashable's team was in Las Vegas so that nothing that happened at this year's CES stayed there. And there was definitely a lot to remember and report on at this year's gadget bonanza. It was really hard to narrow down all the tech stories that came out of CES to just 10, but we think these are the 10 biggest ones. They also reflect the wide array of diversity that was on display in Las Vegas. This year, there were giant tablets, Ultra-high-def TVs, super-fast processors and the world's first 1TB USB 3.0 flash drive.
