(CNN) -- Have you been pining for your very own wearable $1,500 Google Glass but weren't sure how you, a regular nondeveloper residing in the United States, could procure one?

 


Tuesday will be your lucky day. Google is opening sales of Glass for one day only to any adult in the United States who wants one of the devices. In true sale fashion, Google is throwing in free frames or sunglasses for those first-time customers and the supply is limited. 




Sales start at 9 a.m. ET on April 15, but people can sign up now with Google to receive a reminder.

Heartbleed bug affects gadgets everywhere

 NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

The Internet bug Heartbleed doesn't just affect websites. It also has shown up in the gadgets we use to connect 

to the Internet.

Tech giants Cisco (CSCO, Fortune 500) and Juniper (JNPR) have identified about two dozen networking devices affected by Heartbleed, including servers, routers, switches, 

phones and video cameras used by small and 
large businesses everywhere. 

The companies are also reviewing dozens more devices to determine whether they're impacted by the bug as well.

That means for two years now, someone could have been able to tap your phone calls and voicemails at work, all your emails and entire sessions at your computer or iPhone. You also could have been compromised if you logged into work from home remotely. And you'll probably never know if you were hacked.

"That's why this is being dubbed the biggest exploit of the last 12 years. It's so big and encompassing," said Sam Bowling, a senior infrastructure engineer at the 

web hosting service Singlehop.
