BUCK'S BYTES: Stepping in to wearable tech

Part of me wants to know why it took until 2013 for Congress to get this close to taxing Internet sales pretty much the same way it does all other sales. But then then other part of me has seen Congress in action.

If you have ever owned a cellphone, you know how expensive they can get. Maybe you're lucky and just need them for sporadic calls, allowing you to get prepaid phones that don't cost much at all. Maybe you have figured out a way to just use a tablet for $30/month to stay connected.
