Oh, that yellow spandex with beautiful blue trunks. As classic as that suit was, I have no beef with Wolverine’s badassery tossing that away in the movies (plus, with a body like Hugh Jackman’s…). But still, it’s nice to see the Wolverine we all loved as a child again. Here’s the full history of all the suits that Wolverine has ever worn.
Locket puts ads on your Android homescreen, pays you a penny to unlock (video)
Posted in: Today's ChiliTake a look at your Android phone. See that background shot? It’s probably kind of cute, but hardly inspiring. In fact, is it bringing you any joy whatsoever? Is it helping you to make rent? Believe it or not, there’s now an app for that. Locket has just launched into the Google Play Store, enabling a limited (for now) selection of advertisers to place ads on your lock screen and then paying you one cent for each time you unlock. Of course, it’s capped at $0.03 per hour (so every other unlock is just making the company money), and you’ll be allowed to cash out, toss the funds on a gift card or donate your earnings to a charity. For now, it’s restricted to users based in the United States. Oh, and don’t worry, we already did the math — you can earn $262.80 by unlocking your phone’s screen three times each hour, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. Or you can just mow some grass.

Yelp just made its partnership with OpenTable very, very awkward with the announcement that it’ll purchase a competing reservation service known as SeatMe for $12.7 million. The 16-person operation, based in San Francisco, runs a web and app platform that focuses on restaurants and nightlife activities. According to TechCrunch, SeatMe sent an email to its current customers in the wake of the announcement, with a promise that the service will continue operation. Meanwhile, Yelp is positioning the acquisition as a compliment to its existing offerings, which suggests that the company may bide its time before re-evaluating its partnership with OpenTable. If anything, it looks like Yelp’s getting very serious about reservations and appointment bookings, and that could mean a more convenient future for you.
