Nokia will pay you up to $300 to trade an old phone for a Lumia

DNP Nokia tradeup in the US

Nokia’s Lumia phones show promise despite the company’s dwindling overall sales, and now’s your chance to nab one at more affordable prices — if you’re willing to trade in an old phone, that is. The Finnish company’s new trade up program in the US will take in old mobile devices and send back up to $300 loaded on a Visa prepaid card, so long as you also purchase a Lumia. A lot of brands and models are accepted (check out if yours is via the trade up portal linked below), but popular ones like the iPhone 4S, the Galaxy S 4, and the HTC One will net you the most money. So, if you’re sick of being lost in a crowd of Androids and iPhones, now’s the time to give WP8 a whirl.

Doggy Food and Treat Trucks Popping up All Over the Place

Dogs are truly man’s best friend. They’re there for you through thick and thin, even during times when other human beings refuse to speak with you.

I know many dog owners who love their canine companions to bits, so it shouldn’t really come as a surprise that doggy food and treat trucks are opening all over cities.

Gourmet Pet Food Truck

From the Sit ‘N Stay Pet Cafe in Orlando, Florida which offers “truly healthy gourmet treats” made from “human-grade, locally sourced, organic, natural and humanely raised/harvested ingredients” to  Fido to go, the “gourmutt” food truck that serves “hand-crafted, gluten and allergen-free canine cookies & doggy ice creams/frozen yogurts,” there’s a pet revolution going around in food trucks everywhere.

Ice cream for dogs is already being sold online and now you can get frozen treats for your pooches instantly if you’re in Elizabeth, New Jersey – if you happen to catch the Frosty Pooch ice cream truck, that is. Dog owners in Austin, Texas need not worry either, because they can get their dogs some frozen treats from Bow-Wow Chow.

Do you know of any other dog-centric food trucks and stalls around town? If you do, feel free to share them by commenting below!

Oh Great, Wi-Fi Networks Can Be Used to See Through Walls Now

And here we thought the only privacy risk with having a Wi-Fi network at home was someone figuring out our password. Researchers at MIT felt that a stranger having access to your wireless network wasn’t scary enough, so they developed a way for someone to use Wi-Fi signals as a sort of x-ray vision to track a person’s movements in another room.
