Samsung pins its hopes on bigger being better
Lately it seems that everyone is talking about screen size. Some people think 10.1 inches is the sweet spot for a tablet, some people think 5.7 inches is the best for a phone. If new rumors are to be believed, add 6 inches and 12 inches to your list of possible screen sizes.
Nokia is rumored to be working on a 6-inch Windows phone, which would be the first Windows phablet. I guess in order to carry that thing around, you’ll have to get a “murse.” Luckily, murses are a thing again.
According to a Korea Economic Daily, Samsung could be working on a 12-inch tablet. Previous reports have mentioned this, and a recent Wall Street Journal post mentioned that Apple might be working on a bigger tablet of its own. Is this a new “bigger is better” trend we’re seeing?

You might remember Evan Bacon from such LEGO masterpieces as his Superman, Batman and Iron Man. Now he has set his sights on the Minions from the Despicable Me movies.
Evan made this awesome model all by himself. No help from Minions here. All together it has about 24,000 bricks and weighs about 120 pounds. It was built live at the Rooster Teeth convention in Austin, TX and is a tribute to Despicable Me 2.
I’ll tell you what’s not despicable. This guy’s talent. Now that he has a Minion, who knows what he can accomplish. OneMminion always leads to another. And another. And another. Soon Evan will be building armies of cool LEGO creations with their help.

When Twitter placed user caps on third-party clients last year, IFTTT was one of a few services that decided to halt tweet integration, lest it run up against that cap and have to figure out an alternate solution. According to TechCrunch, however, it seems that the Twitter integration is back after extensive talks between the two companies. IFTTT, if you aren’t aware, is a handy internet service that lets you create custom actions between different apps and services with a set of triggers and actions — an example would be to send a picture to Picasa any time you upload it to Instagram.
So as you might expect, there are now new tweet triggers and actions. Examples of triggers include “New tweet by you” and “New tweet by you with hashtag” while actions could be “Post a tweet” or “Post a tweet with image” among others. Some interesting IFTTT Twitter recipes include the ability to automatically tweet a link once you post it to Facebook, a way to hook up G+ posts to Twitter and even a recipe that’ll bypass Instagram’s turning off Twitter cards. And since IFTTT works well with connected hardware like the Belkin WeMo and the Philips Hue, you could also send a tweet to turn those devices on or off. So if you’re hooked into Twitter and would love some automation in your life, head over to the IFTTT link below to get started on a recipe or just create your own.
