Just…like….wow!
It’s the end of the day, and your phone is in desperate need of a hero! You’re stuck on the bus, with no outlet in sight. Will no one come to your tiny gizmo’s aid?!
There are cover songs and then there are…you know…cover songs, and this version of David Bowie’s Space Oddity recorded by Commander Chris Hadfield on board the International Space Station is the single most awesome rendition of the song you’re ever going to see.
Chances are if you’re a busy person you may not have the time or the inclination to spend shopping around for clothes. Men in particular seem to dislike the process of hunting around in stores, maybe because we have smaller brains?
Whenever you get a speaker for your laptop or phone, you want something that is portable, but will give you a lot of bang for your buck. Of course, that means putting money down on something that will probably fizzle or crack after using it for about a month. Tiny speakers oftentimes just can’t handle constantly being cranked up to 11, which is why vibration speakers are so awesome.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is sleek, powerful and probably one of the most impressive mobile phones ever released. It’s not just the headline features which make this product so special, but the fact that Samsung is clearly willing to continue pushing the envelope in terms of experimental features and services.

We take many things for granted until we no longer have use of them. Chances are you’ve never imagined what life would be like without the use of your hands. No more sending a quick text, handshakes, typing out an email, and the list goes on and on. It can take away a lot of your independence, but thanks to technology, those who are disabled don’t have to feel as though they are completely left out.
When it comes to laundry, most males I’ve known are not too keen on the subject. They do the “sniff and wear” test, rather than just washing after one or two uses. While there’s nothing wrong with living a low-maintenance lifestyle, you should be wearing clothes that don’t start to stink if you’re not going to clean them…but does such a thing exist?
OK so look, we’re cool with miniaturization. We understand that if there’s a way the factory can cram something extra into a product, they will. Because, well because they can.
If you wear glasses, you’ll know a few truths that other mortals do not. For one thing, it’s easier than you think to lose or misplace your set. For another, it’s a real pain having to visit the optician every year to have your eyes checked for changes.

When we watch TV or play games, we tend to be doing so in the evening in a dark room. This is obviously not improving your eyesight, as you’re putting your pupil through an overly strenuous workout. It’s a good idea to have ambient lighting around to make things easier for your eyes to process, but you don’t want to ruin the immersion from a lamp or room light being on.
So what do you get when you take a store bought GoPro Hero3 action camera, rip off the body, throw in a bunch of new functionality including a C-mount for attaching different lenses and serve it up to the world?
Do you realize just how clever that sleek smartphone in your pocket is? The truth is that most of us are only scratching the surface of what these things will do, and it’s a lot more than just GPS, music, video, texting and games. As well as the huge collection of wireless radios inside every handset, there are a growing number of sensors, which offer anything from pressure sensing to motion and temperature.

Why is it that we started to shy away from playing records? It’s many reasons of course, but listening to your favorite song and having it interrupted by scratches and distortion is a major annoyance. While most have moved to a digital way of storing music, there are those of us who enjoy having a collection of vinyls laying around.
The good old days of Napster may be behind us, but that doesn’t mean the spirit of free music sharing has died out. Witness this new venture from student Ryan Lester of the US, which aims to combine the super simple sharing of the original Napster service with the modern power of streaming web services.
