iPhone 5S rumors are beginning to swell up as news that production is starting this month has been making the rounds. Unconfirmed leaked shots of iPhone 5S components have made their way online, as has the specs of the new device. Essentially, the phone won’t look any different from the iPhone 5 from what we see of the leaked photos, but there’s going to be quite a bit of new features in the new phone.
It’s said that the iPhone 5S will be rocking a 4-inch 1136×640 IGZO display, made by either Sharp or LG. The phone will also be equipped with NFC and a fingerprint scanner for security and privacy purposes. We also may be seeing a 12-megapixel rear camera on the iPhone 5S, complete with a dual LED flash.
As for the performance hardware, it’s rumored that we’ll see the same A6 chip that is in the iPhone 5, but at a higher clock with improved quad-core technology, as well as improved LTE. There’s also said to be 2GB of RAM and a larger battery this time around. Hopefully the power-savings of the IGZO display and the larger battery will give users a much longer battery life than the previous generation.
None of this sounds too far-fetched (except maybe for the fingerprint scanner), but we’re taking all this with a grain of salt. Of course, we would love to see the iPhone 5S come with these upgrades, and from what we’ve heard, the iPhone 5S will be the biggest jump taken with an iPhone that has an “S” on the end, so it seems there’s a lot to look forward to.
It was rumored earlier this week that production of the iPhone 5S is starting this month, with an official launch coming later in the fall in either September or October. This wouldn’t be too surprising if true, but the prediction comes from Jefferies & Co. analyst Peter Misek, who hasn’t been too accurate with his predictions in the past.

The scariest Google Glass hack just got fixed before anyone evil could actually use it, but the details are a little unsettling. Using nothing more than Glass’s camera and a malicious QR code, hackers would have been able to steal total control of the device if you so much as looked at the wrong thing.

Until we’re all able to shower from bed, Waterpik’s new Showerpik is the next best thing for simplifying our morning routines. It works like any other Waterpik, blasting the spaces between your teeth clean like a dental floss fire hose. But since it taps into your existing shower head you don’t need to keep a reservoir of water nearby.

Have you ever been to California? You should try it. Sure there are the beaches and the national parks and the movie stars and the big red bridge. There’s also the delightful consequence of near-perfect weather all year round. Stuff just doesn’t rust. Even when it rains.

Hopefully, you always take the appropriate precautions and never drink and drive. That being said, if you are worried about being sober after having a drink or two, then check out this G-Shock watch, which will let you know if you are under the influence of alcohol. While it looks pretty convincing, it was actually a hoax. Nevertheless, there are some watches like this available now.
CIROC, a maker of premium vodka, teamed up with Puff Daddy to come up with this latest hustle in entrepreneurship. This G-Shock watch features a striking transparent build, with a built-in breathalyzer, showing your blood alcohol content. It was supposed to come in three different colors, representing CIROC’s signature color gradient found on its vodka bottles.
Unfortunately, it was revealed by the G-Shock team that this watch was a fake.
Perhaps the popularity of the Tokyoflash Intoxicated will inspire Casio to actually produce this watch someday.

If you have been on the lookout for a new notebook, and you have always been curious to give the Samsung brand name a go simply because of what you have heard from other people, then might we interest you in the recently launched Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite? It is now available for pre-sale, where the ATIV Book 9 Lite comes in a beautiful design, delivers intelligent performance and affordability in its latest iteration. Let us check out just what it is capable of in the extended post, shall we?
Looking sophisticated and yet affordable, the ATIV Book 9 Lite will be able to offer users just about everything that they need to remain connected, productive and entertained whenever they are on the go. It will hit store shelves from July 28th onwards, but this does not mean you need not place a pre-order now, right?.
The ATIV Book 9 Lite might even be mistaken by some to be the ATIV Book 9, as it comes in a similar premium and striking design identity, although it will boast a refined aerodynamic architecture that has been accentuated by a sophisticated Ash Black or Marble White color for that added dash of style, ensuring that performance is maintained without having to sacrifice on looking stylish.
The ATIV Book 9 Lite will come with cutting-edge technology, where among them include a ten-point touch-screen LCD display, a quad-core processor and a 128GB SSD, with the entire shebang tipping the scales at under 0.5 lbs, while measuring less than an inch thin, making it the ideal choice for mobile consumers and business travelers alike.
You can pick up the ATIV Book 9 Lite for $799.99 a pop if you are interested – not too shabby for an entry level Ultrabook of sorts, don’t you think so? Not only that, if you already use other Samsung devices like smartphones and tablets, you will be able to enjoy a complete, integrated experience courtesy of SideSync technology. SideSync will be able to create a synergy between Samsung’s mobile and PC range, allowing users to seamlessly switch from working on their PC to their Galaxy smartphone through the connection of both devices via USB, now how about that?

Fresh from impressing President Obama, Bill Nye and LeVar Burton, WaterColorBot — sorry, Super Awesome Sylvia’s WaterColorBot — is ready for prime time. The makers are taking to Kickstarter in order to sell the robot, which transfers vector art and trackpad daubs to paper without the mess of doing it yourself. The team needs to scrounge together $50,000, and a pledge of $295 will get you an unassembled, DIY kit. If you want to see the unit in action (hosted by Super Awesome Sylvia herself) then head past the break.

Poppy Montgomery didn’t think “Unforgettable” was really returning from cancellation.
“Well, I didn’t believe them. I thought it was a joke. I thought it was a gag because I’ve never heard of a show getting uncanceled,” Montgomery said on “The Late Show With David Letterman.” “It was like someone died and then they came and knocked on my door and said ‘Surprise!’ Which was fantastic. Yes they said, ‘We’re bringing you back.'”
There was one problem: Montgomery was pregnant. She told David Letterman she thought the delay in shooting because of her pregnancy would reverse the revival decision. It didn’t and two and a half weeks after giving birth, Montgomery was back at work as Carrie Wells on “Unforgettable.”
