Flipboard magazines hit the web with new “Big Ideas” category

You might remember back in May when Flipboard introduced custom magazines that allowed users to curate different kinds of content into one magazine and share it with the world. That feature as now hit the web, allowing users to read these custom-curated magazines from any browser on any device with an internet connection.

This marks the full HTML5 version of Flipboard, and it’s actually only the first step for the company. Within the next few months and leading into 2014, Flipboard is planning to expand its web experience even more. The full Flipboard experience is expected to roll out starting towards the end of the year, complete with search and subscriptions.

This web interface lets Flipboard users subscribe to custom magazines and “flip” through stories just like if they were on a tablet or smartphone. Of course, the mobile app is still the best way to experience Flipboard magazines and articles in our opinion, but if you’re wanting a larger area to consume your news, the web interface is the way to go.

Furthermore, Flipboard also introduced “Big Ideas”, which is a new category that “features content on important issues, causes and ideas of our day.” Overall, the content on the web interface isn’t mind-blowing right now, but it seems like it’ll get better over time. Currently, the web interface works on Chrome, Firefox, and IE 9 or higher.

HotLogic Portable Mini Oven Warms Your Lunch While You Work

While many of us opt to heat up our lunches in the microwave at the office, we all know it’s not necessarily the best way to reheat cold food. Microwaves do strange things to food, often affecting texture and flavor, and sometimes overcooking already cooked food. This little gadget provides a different approach to heating up your lunch.

The portable HotLogic Mini Oven is a travel-sized slow-cooker, which gradually warms your food to a safe temperature on its 200°F  heating platform. Just place your food in a sealed container, set it inside the HotLogic oven, and plug it in at your desk. When lunchtime rolls around, you’ll have a nicely warmed up meal inside.

The inside of the tote is lined with aluminum to ensure heat is retained, and keeping your food in a sealed container while it warms ensures that it keeps its moisture and flavor.

The HotLogic Mini Oven sells for $49.95(USD) and comes in blue or black.

Pac-Man Plush With Sound

Everyone loves Pac-Man – wait a minute here, was it supposed to be Raymond? Nah, not really – at least not in this particular case. Everyone loves Pac-Man, never mind that you fed that arcade machine tons of quarters during your younger days, you still failed to master the game and it was always Blinky, Pinky, Inky or Clyde who got you eventually because of a lack of skill on your side. Well, now that you are all grown up, you still have not mastered the game, but at the very least your bank account is a whole lot healthier than when you were getting a weekly allowance from mom or dad. This gives you the means to pick up the $19.99 Pac-Man Plush With Sound.

Pac-Man is not just a yellow orb with a triangle for a mouth, but basically, he remains a fearsome warrior as long as he has the Power Pill in his tummy, allowing him to glow a ghastly blue and sending that quartet of ghosts packin’ in fear. Pac-Man has not only survived on pellets, a pittance of fruit servings as well as electronic ditties for decades, and is still going strong. The Pac-Man Plush With Sound could do with a hug, and in return, he makes a sound.

Google’s Street View takes you up Mount Fuji, crampon free

Mount Fuji is the next stop on Google's Street View tour of touristic sites

In contrast to its happy visits to the Eiffel Tower and Burj Khalifa, Street View’s exploration of Dead Island may have given you the wrong impression of Japan. Luckily, one of the country’s most picturesque symbols, Mount Fuji, was recently scaled by what must be some of Mountain View’s most athletic trekkers. The fruits of the 12,400-foot climb and incessant photo stops are 14,000 separate panoramas, including many sunrise shots only available to diligent night climbers. They’re now live on Maps, so hit the source or panorama after the break for a far less taxing peek.
