Starting at 8AM local time here in the United States (that’s local whatever time zone you’re in), the iPhone 5s will be going on sale – and at midnight (this morning) the iPhone 5s in gold was the first to start flying off digital shelves. It’s become readily apparent not only online, where at Apple’s […]

If you have been sitting on the fence as to whether or not you want to pick up a gold iPhone 5S, you’re going to be perched there for quite some time as Apple has updated shipment times for online purchases. As you could have guessed, the wait is going to be rather long. (more…)

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the Xbox One, specifically focusing on what it can do besides playing video games, then you know Microsoft’s upcoming next-generation console includes an HDMI-in port. The purpose of this port is in order to connect your cable box to your Xbox One so you can watch live TV while still being able to access the console, allowing you to Skype, check in on your friends’ progress and browse the console in general while catching up with the latest episode of The Vampire Diaries. If you plan on owning a PlayStation 4 as well as an Xbox One, it turns out you can theoretically use its HDMI-in port to play the PS4 while using your Xbox One. Madness! (more…)

There are some of us out there who love collecting watches, and over the years, we have actually amassed quite a collection of timepieces. Now, if these watches were digital, then the matter of replacing its battery is a simple one, but when it comes to winding your watches, you have several options. If your home looks extremely high tech and you want to go all the way, why settle for a typical watch winder that just spins in one direction, but rather, opt for the $18,000 Gyroscopic Watch Winder?
The Gyroscopic Watch Winder is proud to be the “only gyroscopic watch winder” which will be able to rotate 360°, meaning it does so in all directions. Specially inspired by the aerotrims that were used by astronauts in training so that they can avoid spatial disorientation in space, the watch winder will rotate on a trio of axes, in the same manner as that of a human wrist. It does so in order to wind an automatic watch which has been wrapped around the center of the gyroscope. Specially made in Germany by Döttling, this particular watch winder is handcrafted over a four-week period by artisans, and it is propelled by an electric motor in order to deliver whisper-quiet operation. A quartet of LEDs will light up the rotation with crisp white light, and it is smart enough to pause automatically to prevent overwinding.

When the new SimCity game launched earlier this year, it caught a huge amount of flack for requiring an Internet connection to play and bunch of server issues that prevented many gamers from playing for a long time. Those launch woes are behind the game now, and Maxis has announced its first expansion pack is coming on November 15.
The expansion pack will be available for PC and Mac gamers and is called SimCity: Cities of Tomorrow. The expansion pack is set 50 years in the future from the original game and brings a number of new technologies and planning techniques for your cities. Keep in mind that game does still require an Internet connection to play.
One of the complaints of the most recent SimCity was that larger maps were needed to allow people to build bigger cities. The expansion pack doesn’t expand the city size, but does introduce MegaTowers that allow players to build their cities vertically. The expansion also includes an exclusive disaster and a new villain in the form of a corporation that strip mines resources and pollutes the environment.
