It’s a concept that we’ve seen coming for a while – an airline that
requires you to pay for your ticket based on precisely the capacity of
weight that you take aboard. What that means is that not only do
passengers pay based on their own physical weight, they pay by the
weight of their luggage as well.
It's a messy job, but someone has to do it.

When you hack, shoot, and fistfight your way through a game like Dead Space, you leave behind quite a bit of carnage. Somebody has to clean that mess up. Might as well be you. The Viscera Cleanup Detail game takes you behind the scenes of a first-person space shooter and puts you at the head of the cleaning committee.
The setup is simple enough. You’re a janitor on a space station. A horrific battle has been fought (which you weren’t a part of). Now, it’s your duty to put all those bits and blobs of alien viscera in their place: the trash bin. Armed with a trusty mop, you slop your way through the challenge.
Viscera Cleanup Detail’s creators RuneStorm admit that the Windows PC game is in an early alpha prototype. It was built in just 10 days and is up for vote on Steam Greenlight.

“It’s not me, it’s you,” scolds the distant WiFi hotspot as your connection drops for the ninth time in an hour. As much as you may dream of buying a 20 meter Ethernet cable, Amped Wireless is determined to curtail that flirtation with its latest piece of 802.11ac hardware, the ACA1. The USB 3.0-powered unit clips to Windows and OS X machines, utilizing the company’s long-range mojo to ensure that you’ll be the envy of frustrated tweeters on the periphery of a public router. The gear arrives on July 22nd, but pre-orders begin today with $89.99 securing you a piece of the action — and if the idea of that big Ethernet lead still appeals, we’ve got a video to convince you otherwise after the break.

Aviary has come a long way from its humble origins as a Flickr plugin — over the last year it’s graduated to a standalone app, been given a makeover and has even been ported to Windows 8. Today the popular photo-editing software lands on yet another platform: Windows Phone 8. As on iOS and Android, the app itself is free and comes with a bunch of filters and stickers. Extra packs can usually be purchased for two bucks a pop, but WP8 users can get them for free for a limited time — not bad for a digital lizard sombrero. Follow the source link below to check out the (temporarily) gratis photo editor yourself.

We wouldn’t be too surprised if Apple launched a new iPhone later in the fall, but the start of production for the new device could let us in on when we might expect the iPhone 5S to officially arrive. It’s said that production of the next-generation iPhone will begin sometime this month, with a launch date sometime in September or October.
According to Jefferies & Co. analyst Peter Misek, Apple will begin production of the iPhone 5S towards the end of this month with a release in the fall. This goes right alongside reports that recently stated that Foxconn was on a hiring spree due to ramped up production, meaning that a new iPhone was about to begin its journey through the factory floor.
Furthermore, Misek expects shipments in the fall quarter to reach between 25 million and 30 million iPhones, and then the holiday time period will see between 50 million and 55 million units shipped for the Cupertino-based company. These numbers aren’t too far-fetched, but Misek isn’t making any original ground-breaking predictions either.
Of course, we would take these predictions from Misek with a grain of salt. This is the same analyst who predicted that iPhone 5S production would begin in March with a June or July release window. He’s also the one that predicted very generous stock prices for the company back in May.
The iPhone 5S is tipped to come with a faster processor, a better camera, and maybe even a fingerprint scanner. The overall design of the phone may stay the same, with only internal design changes being made for the 5S model. This is what the company has done for the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 3GS, and we wouldn’t expect that to change soon.

There’s something undeniably surreal about early cave paintings, something otherworldly or even psychedelic. And according to a team of international scientists, that’s because the cave painters were doing mind-bending drugs while painting them.
