Look, life’s too short to worry about conjugating verbs and structuring syntax, right? We’ve got stuff to do, people to see, deals to close. So how can you make sure your paperwork is up to snuff when it counts? How do you create such sparkling TPS Reports that your boss can’t help but give you a raise?

You’re to the local coffee spot to grab the usual, and on your way out, a text rolls in. For those of us that are fine with typing in portrait mode, this is no biggie. One hand will deal with the phone, and the other can nurse your newly acquired caffeinated beverage. There are speed texters out there though that think anything aside from landscape mode simply won’t do.

We’re all worried about our phones dying at a crucial moment in the day. About to go into a surprise meeting and need to let your family know you’ll be home later than expected? That’s not going to work if it died because you were playing games and texting during lunch break. Plugging your phone into the nearest outlet will not be well received with the bigwigs. What if you had a way to charge your mobile device wherever you…

Boy are there a lot of portable speakers around. We’ve covered our fair share of them too over the years, so we must take a bit of blame. There’s clearly a demand for amplified speakers to boost the sound of our phones, but up till now they’ve all had one major hassle, you have to connect them in some way. Either by Bluetooth pairing, or by plugging in a cable of some sort. Well no longer, peeps.

Look, if you’ve got anything you want doing for the next 2 hours, for goodness sake don’t…repeat…don’t go to the VinePeek site. The problem is you’ll get sucked into a world full of 6 second video clips culled from the new Twitter Vine service, and it’s not going to let you go. It’s compulsive, addictive and actually should be made illegal. Seriously. Quick warning, it’s unmoderated, which means *anything* could show up. Including cats and worse. Aaargh…

If you have a bike, keeping it locked up tight while you’re at work or in class is of high importance. No one wants to come outside to find that their mode of transportation has been jacked. While there are a ton of different bike locks out there, they only do you good if you remember to bring them with you. If you’re worried you might forget to bring your lock along, then why not just make it part of…

On a dark, gloomy, winter’s day, it can be hard to be cheery. The only color that seems to hang around is gray, and you can’t exactly go outside and persuade the sun to pop out. If you want a little more color in your day, why not just bring it with you?

We all get a “to-go” beverage every now and then. It’s not something we really give much thought to, but there are a lot of materials that go into the cups, lids, and straws that house your beverage. If this factoid bothers you, then there’s a way that you can help lessen your contribution to a landfill. It may be a tiny gesture, but these Paper Straws are both biodegradable and compostable. They have designs that were inspired by birch…

So you’ve gone out and spent many large piles of hard earned cash on a latest and greatest smartphone, and you are the ONE. But then you go and spoil it all by popping down to the local Radio Shack to pick up a cheap tacky plastic external speaker to play your audio collection through. Aaargh. Have you no shame at all?

Web services like Facebook and Twitter are very nice, but if you object to splashing your name and personal details all over cyberspace, you’ll probably be a little wary of committing your whole life to them. Especially if you’re living in a hostile environment where government snooping can lead to nasty consequences, even if you’re not doing anything illegal.

There’s clearly some sort of massive upheaval going on in the travel world, if the rash of new flight planning applications are anything to go by. Our guess is aggressive cost cutting is masking a slow but steady fall in numbers, which is forcing the industry to sponsor new ways to attract customers. One way to do this is make backend flight routing data more easily available to app makers.

We’ve got a feeling this is the first ever music video shot entirely inside a medical MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) machine, and it’s a doozy. It’s a fabulous song too, which helps. And no, no magnets were harmed in the making of this video. Full video after the jump.
