Hasta La Gadget!

Modern day smartphones come with a whole lot more functions than you can shake a stick at – and while that is a good thing, the downside to all of it is, you will need to make sure that your battery’s juice level is at its peak before you leave the home, otherwise you might be left high and dry just halfway through the day at work. Mophie has been rolling out juice packs in the past for notable handsets, and the same applies to the HTC One with mophie’s very own HTC One juice pack that is said to double the battery life.

All that it takes to activate the additional reserves of juice is a simple flip of a switch, and do not fret that your device would look like an unwieldy device, since it comes in an ultra-thin and lightweight design which will complement the smartphone’s zero-gap unibody design. Not only does this mean you get additional juice, you will also experience full protection without looking out of place. You can pick up the HTC One juice pack in black or silver colors for $99.95 a pop.

Things definitely got awkward for Jenna and Matty on the latest “Awkward” starting the moment Jenna’s father realized the birth control pills he’d found belonged to his daughter. He had no idea that it was Jenna’s mother who’d given her the pills, and had even hooked her up with condoms so she would be safe if-and-when she decided to have sex.

In an impulsive moment, he left a message for Matty’s parents, leading to the most uncomfortable dinner party of all time. Matty’s parents showed up, with their reluctant son in tow, and forced him to apologize to Jenna’s parents. An impromptu dinner invitation — accepted by Matty’s father — led to the families enjoying Chinese and uncomfortable silences together.

Matty’s mother laid into both of Jenna’s parents when they were leaving, calling them hippies and chastising them for supplying Jenna with condoms and the pill. In her mind, they were encouraging her to have sex rather than preparing her to be safe and responsible.

We have seen how IBM had come up with a new kind of storage device which is so small, we are not dealing in millimeters, but rather, at just the size of 12 atoms. A dozen atoms, that is all there is to it, and yet the folks over at IBM were able to store and retrieve digital 1s and 0s from its array. Having said that, IBM’s research division released a stop-motion movie that you can view in the video above, where the main protagonist is a stick figure that measures a mere few atoms in size.

“A Boy and His Atom” is the title of the story, where the character called Atom made friends with a single atom, and continued to play with his new friend as they danced, played catch and bounced on a trampoline. This will definitely not pick up any Oscars at the next Academy Awards, although the claymation marks a breakthrough in scientists’ ability to capture, position and shape individual atoms with utmost precision, thanks to the clever use of temperature, pressure and vibrations.

While there are signs HTC’s fortunes might turn a corner through the launch of the One, few would doubt that its finances could use some streamlining. The company has just outlined one of the ways it will be pinching pennies: it’s closing its Watch movie stores in Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Sweden by May 31st, with some Italians reporting a shutdown on the 15th. As the company explains to us in a statement (after the break), it’s concentrating on supporting Watch in those regions with the “highest engagement” while dropping those with “less application traffic” — in short, markets with poor performance get the boot. HTC stresses that Watch isn’t going away, however, and it’s delivering a steady stream of content. We’re glad to hear that the company is sharpening its focus rather than cutting the cord. Still, that won’t be much consolation to movie-loving Europeans and Scandinavians.
