NEW YORK — Breaking up is hard to do. That is, unless you’re “Mad Men,” which this season has been free-and-easy in its fragmentation.
By now Peggy Olson and her radical beau are splitsville. So are Pete Campbell and wife Trudy, who caught him philandering one too many times.
Chrissy Teigen is a free spirit who rarely seems to hold anything back.
That’s why it comes as no surprise that the 27-year-old model didn’t let a little thing like clothing come between her and the camera for her GQ photo shoot.
Teigen posed completely nude for the magazine (save for a pair of Marc Jacobs heels), and was totally game to offer readers some dating advice — she’s engaged to John Legend, so we’d say she knows what she’s talking about.

If you’ve been to a beer festival lately, you’ve probably already tasted MIA Brewing Company‘s honey wheat beer or IPA under the brand Most Wanted. The brewery, which recently changed its name to MIA Brewing Company, is hoping all that good word of mouth and multiple tastings will get paid back when the brewery opens to the public in Doral this fall.

RICHMOND, Texas — A father-son duo from South Texas showed no handicap when they stepped up to a par-3 tee and each shot a hole-in-one on Father’s Day.
Lonnie Whitener, 57, told the Houston Chronicle (http://bit.ly/13VlAHF) that his 115-yard drive using a gap wedge on the sixth hole at River Pointe Golf Club in Richmond struck the flag stick and dropped in the hole.

If last year’s Samsung Galaxy Camera looked like Dr. Frankenstein had sewn a point-and-shoot camera onto the back of a Galaxy S3, the new Galaxy NX is the opposite. It takes the Android UI 3G/4G/LTE connectivity of a smartphone, and slaps it onto the back of an interchangeable-lens camera.

True to JK Shin’s promise, Samsung is indeed introducing a new Android-powered mirrorless camera: the Galaxy NX. Although it runs Google’s mobile OS (version 4.2.2 Jelly Bean) and bears LTE radios, the NX is not quite a direct sequel to the Galaxy Camera, the company’s glorified point-and-shoot for all comers. Rather, the Galaxy NX is what Samsung calls an interchangeable-lens CSC (or Compact System Camera), featuring a 20.3-megapixel APS-C sensor, as well as 3G / 4G LTE, WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity — making it worthy of that Galaxy moniker.
As you can tell from the above image, the Galaxy NX also packs a large 4.8-inch HD LCD display on its rear and is powered by a 1.6GHz Pega-Q quad-core setup and separate DRIMe IV Signal processor for imaging. The UI should look pretty familiar to anyone who’s used an Android device before, with the common apps and widgets submenus, as well as the device wheel for its 30 Smart Modes — employed when selecting imaging settings. And if you happen to own any of the company’s other NX cameras, you’ll be able to swap out lenses (13 in all) as the Galaxy NX is fully compatible with that range. It also incorporates a hybrid AF, culled from the best of DSLRs and compacts, with a shutter speed of 1/6,000th of a second and 8.6fps shooting.
Samsung’s been pretty forthcoming about all the tech and software it’s put into the Galaxy NX, but there are two key bits it’s still withholding: pricing and availability. For now, it appears UK residents will have first crack at the Galaxy NX, as PR pegs its release for that territory as sometime this summer. The same, however, can’t be said for a US launch. Regardless, as the Galaxy NX is more a proper camera for experienced photogs and less Android phone like the Galaxy Camera and S4 Zoom, you can bet on its price tag being relatively high. In the meantime, check out our Galaxy NX hands-on for more detailed impressions.

I share a lot of gadgets that have to do with finding, or tracking lost items. To hear it be told you would think I lose everything, all the time… and you’d be right. Presently, I’m missing 2 out of 4 remote phone handsets. The one thing I can’t lose is my iPhone, that would be life altering.
Check out Findables, not just another gadget to help you keep track of a gadget, Findables is actually a smartphone case with an associated app that can act as a reward poster, a virtual business card, or a “call me sometime” high tech introduction.
Every Findables case comes with a unique QR code and a free mobile app that lets you create and personalize up to 3 different connected profiles, and it enables you to switch between modes as needed. Why 3 you ask? Perhaps you want to create a business profile for your next meeting and kiss your business cards goodbye, and then have a social page complete with contact info or Facebook stuff at the ready for a night on the town. Lastly, why not utilize the lost mode with a reward page, so you can increase the chances of getting your smartphone back should you ever leave it behind.
Anyone can simply scan your case’s QR code and viola! Your info is now their info. Very cool. Findables come in a nice array of relatively standard case colors as well as a glow-in-the-dark option, and they are currently available for the iPhone 5, 4, 4S and iPad (including the new mini) and the Galaxy S3. Prices come in at just under 30 bucks. So get yours at findables.me and scan me sometime!

This is the ATIV Tab 3. A Windows 8 tablet that Mr. DJ Lee just briefly mentioned on stage. Thankfully, roughly 40 minutes later, the slate was trotted back out and detailed more fully. For one, the Tab 3 borrows heavily from its Android-powered cousins in the Galaxy family. But, unlike its sibling the Q, there isn’t an option to quickly fire up Google’s mobile OS. It does, however, share the same extremely thin body and design language while running Windows 8 proper (none of this crippled RT nonsense). While we can’t actually confirm that its 8.2mm thick frame is, in fact, the thinnest in the world, it’s got to be pretty close. That the manufacturer has crammed a Z2760 Atom inside along with 2GB of RAM is darn impressive. The entire thing weighs just 550g, or about 19 ounces. Despite its lithe body, Samsung claims it can last up to 8.5 hours on the battery inside, which is actually quite a bit better than we would have anticipated from an x86 tablet with a 10.1-inch, 1,366 x 768 display.
The Galaxy DNA goes beyond just appearances though, the ATIV Tab 3 also includes an S Pen and S Note software. Plus, you get a free copy of Office Home & Student. As for pricing and availability, expect to see it on shelves by August for $699, keyboard cover included.

The Ativ name may be silly, but Samsung Electronics is betting heavily on it as the namesake for anything related to Windows.
In a showcase Thursday that featured a slew of products, Samsung’s Ativ line played a central role. Ativ has become the umbrella brand that includes laptops, tablets, all-in-ones, and smartphones, and some of the devices were on display.
Samsung is hoping history repeats itself with Ativ. It previously poured its resources into developing the Galaxy brand for anything associated with Android, and its flagship Galaxy S line of smartphones is a smash hit, with the Galaxy name extending into multiple lines of successful phones and tablets.
