Yahoo unveiled several new products and announced a new unified suite of advertising products at the ongoing Consumer Electronic Show (CES) at Las Vegas, USA.

Then it uses various signals like time of the day, GPS, accelerator and Wi-Fi among others to provide relevant apps or links for the moment. For instance, when an user wakes up, it might show calendar appointments and apps like email & Twitter. While driving, it might pop up apps like Google Maps and Waze and when the user is at any restaurant, it might surface tips from Foursquare.
