Ashton, you’re making us all uncomfortable in this promo shot for Jobs: The Movie! You look like Steve Jobs, yeah, but I feel violated. No one remembers ol’ Steve looking so smoldering in the real image that inspired this shot. Are you Punking us? More »
The Marley family of audio equipment (and the like) has summoned forth a coffee-cup-sized speaker that’s able to connect to your device via Bluetooth or line-in, and it goes by the name Chant. This portable audio system wears much of the same materials that we’ve seen in previous Marley hardware including Earth-friendly natural bamboo wood and canvas, not to mention that lovely Rasta color pallet to boot. This little beast is rechargable, works entirely wirelessly, and makes for one easy-riding sound blaster.
You’ll find that this unit works with a perfectly suitable sound quality and a power that’s larger than the sum of its parts. The real quality here exists not just in its sound, but in this amalgamation’s ability to strap to your belt. There’s a rock-climbing hook on the back and the top of the canvas pouch opens up to reveal the plastic Marley-branded grille through which your beats with usher forth. It’s with your 6-hour lithium battery inside (tested and true, we assure you) that you’ll be rolling all night long.
There are a couple different color choices you’ll have for the canvas on the outside of this unit, though the one we’ve got is not the cool green Harvest you’ll see on the Marley online shop today. We’ve got more of a dark jeans/gray sort of situation going on, smoke tuned to the right caliber. Up top on the inside of this bag you’ll see a pocket that’s able to keep your cords should you ever need them, with both a headphone-sized 3.5mm jack as well as a mini-USB cord included with the package.
This little master of its domain will ring you up $99.99 depending on where you shop, and for that you get just what the doctor ordered. The Chant is available online as well as in your local jams-loving music outlet right this minute – go find em! Also have a peek at the timeline below to see other recent moments in our Marley-loving history.

The human race produces 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day—far too much to crunch using conventional desktop applications. Mining this mountain of data for nuggets usable information is one of the biggest challenges facing modern society. But a new generation of analytic tools are helping us control the phenomenon that’s becoming commonly known as Big Data. More »
Next in line at the great journalistic jungle buffet is Vice, which sent down two dudes to chat with paranoid/fugitive John McAfee and reprint his various insane thoughts. And more: they forgot to clear GPS data in an uploaded photo. More »

Google has released an update to its Gmail app for Android, and it brings some welcomed features that have been long yearned for by avid Android users. The app now supports pinch-to-zoom, meaning you can zoom in on emails and read them without squinting, and Google also introduced new gestures that allow you to quickly delete or archive an email by swiping left or right.
Some of the features introduced in this latest update were ones that Android users have been waiting on ever since the G1 days, but finally, Gmail mobile users can rejoice. Other than the pinch-to-zoom and the new swipe gestures, the app now has the ability to “auto-fit” a message to your phone’s screen, and there’s also a new thumbnail view for attached images and videos.
Some of the settings need to be enabled first before you can start enjoying them (including pinch-to-zoom), and the new swipe gestures can be configured to your liking, by either allowing only a delete swipe or disabling the swipes altogether, but if you’re like us, you’ll find that using the swipe gestures makes things a whole lot easier.
This new version of Gmail is only available for phones running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or higher, so older devices are out of luck for now. Of course, Android 4.2 comes with the improved Gmail app already, but for those running the older version of Jelly Bean, or even Ice Cream Sandwich, can now take advantage of the new features. The update is available now in the Google Play store.

No. The chances of getting an STI from peeing in a public bathroom are in the incredibly low-to-no range. Could the organisms that cause chlamydia and gonorrhea infections be present in people’s urine that’s splattered on the seat? Yes. But are those organisms going to find their way into your urethra or vagina? Not unless you rub the tip of your urethra (or vaginal entrance) on a contaminated toilet seat. Who does that? More »
It’s an early Christmas at Ubergizmo, and we are joining forces with NVIDIA to give away five Nexus 7 tablets (16GB, WiFi). In our Nexus 7 Review, we called it the ‘best 7-inch tablet’, and 5 months after its arrival onto the scene, it remains a formidable value-proposition as it offers great hardware, a pure Android experience and quick access to the latest OS updates and features.
So, who wants one?

In the old days, people can tell what someone is feeling by their facial expressions or by using special mouth sounds like “I’m sad. I don’t have anyone to talk to, which makes it sadder that I’m talking right now.” But apparently people these days are lying cowards who don’t want to express what they really feel. So now we have this.
The device is called the Tailly. It was invented by Shota Ishiwatari, the same man who came up with the brain-controlled cat ears and tails. The Tailly on the other hand looks at the wearer’s heart rate.
It’s a testament to how long I’ve been writing for Technabob that it’s the boring outfits of the people in the video that I find to be really weird and not the fake tails they’re wearing. Pledge at least £60 (~$96 USD) Kickstarter page to reserve your own Tailly. I’ll jump on the bandwagon when they come up with something that lets me run as fast as a cheetah.
