Hasta La Gadget!

Once upon a time, mobile megapixels were the key. In fact, not so many years ago, many questioned whether there was any value whatsoever in having a camera built into your phone. Convergence for its own sake is undeniably a problem in today’s crossover-soaked market, but it’s now hard to argue that photography and the […]

A large pod of orcas were spotted making their way through Active Pass, just off the shores of Galiano Island in British Columbia. This pod just keeps on going and going and going. Just when you think all the whales have passed … more whales! Killer whale pods migrating along Canada’s West Coast are commonly spotted during the months between April and November. These lucky spectators watched in awe as the whales made a show of cresting the water and slapping their tails.

To learn more about conserving and caring for the orca population, and their natural environments, visit Orca Conservancy.

If it wasn’t already clear that Twitter is serious about monitoring TV trends, the company just proved it by acquiring Trendrr. The deal gives Twitter new tools for both tracking social network activity during TV broadcasts and delivering that information to advertisers and media producers. While the two companies aren’t specific regarding their plans, Trendrr is scaling back its operations: its Curatorr service will keep going, but it will stop taking customers for its Trendrr.TV engagement tracker. It will be some time before we see the results of the acquisition, but the increasingly tighter links between Twitter activity and TV suggest that the buyout could prove worthwhile in the long run.

Thrillist:

If you have a car, then you’ve tried to sleep in the backseat. Tried being the operative word. It’s uncomfortable and narrow and the reason you brought that mildewy tent to the music festival, or booked countless bedbug-infested motel rooms on your cross-country roadtrip. This is all when you’d prefer the relatively clean (definitely more hygienic) comfort of your car with its sound system, controlled temperatures, and general privacy/security. The Fuloon Inflatable Backseat Car Mattress provides you with a way to bridge that gap, designed to fit virtually every car. It inflates into the legroom you seem to always wake up in, and covers the seatbelts that dig into your side — all the while making your backseat the width of an actual bed. That means you can even sleep two to this thing. Just don’t be the guy that uses his backseat mattress as a pick-up line, no matter how comfortable it is.
