With OS X Mavericks being rolled out to the masses, there are probably still Mac users running on much older versions of Mac computers, meaning that their devices might not be eligible for an upgrade to Mavericks. What this means is that they will either have to turn to OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion, but unfortunately both OS X Lion and Mountain Lion have since been removed from the Mac App Store. Well the good news is that if you wanted to upgrade to either operating system, Apple has since put both versions in their online store for purchase at $19.99 per copy.

For those hoping for a physical disc of the operating system, you’d be out of luck as both OS X Lion and Mountain Lion will be available as a digital download. By purchasing the software via Apple’s online store, you will then be presented with a redemption code which you can then use in the Mac App Store to begin your download. Offering OS X Lion makes sense for older Mac computers that cannot be updated to OS X Mountain Lion, but it’s a bit odd that Mountain Lion is being offered given that most Mountain Lion Mac computers can run OS X Mavericks, but we guess there are some who might prefer Mountain Lion over Mavericks. Either way if you’d like to get your hands on the software, hit up Apple’s online store for the download: OS X Lion / OS X Mountain Lion.

Turns out, a night at the pub with some friends might not be so idle a pastime as one might think. Quite the contrary: According to Oxford University Professor Robin Dunbar, it’s absolutely integral to men’s health, and they should definitely make an effort to go more often.

How do you revive the Shit Girls Say meme that’s dead not only because we all grew tired of it but because YouTube productivity assassins (aka movie makers) simply ran out of different types of people to make fun of? You reverse it and switch it into shit people would NEVER say. Like nerds thinking comic books and graphic novels are the same. This video about nerds never saying stuff by Bill Scurry and Kevin Maher is surprisingly funny. It was filmed at the 2013 NY Comic Con. [Bill Scurry]

Back in September after months of being rumored and having its photos leaked, the BlackBerry Z30 was finally launched. There was no mention as to which carrier the handset will be making its way to in the states, although a leaked image did suggest that Verizon, at the very least, would be offering it. Well it turns out that is very true and not only will Verizon carry the device, it looks like they will be getting an exclusive on the handset, meaning that other carriers in the US will not be selling the BlackBerry Z30, at least not anytime in the immediate future.

This is according to a leaked screenshot which reveals that the handset will be priced at $299.99 along with a new 2-year contract, with the handset’s availability pegged for the 31st of October. The BlackBerry Z30, for those unfamiliar, will feature a 5” Super AMOLED HD display and will be powered by a quad-core chipset under the hood, along with a feature BlackBerry is calling “Natural Sound” which supposedly helps to boost audio quality coming from the device. It will also come with a decently sized 2,880mAh battery and will presumably be running on the latest version of BlackBerry 10. So, any Verizon subscribers out there planning on picking up the handset themselves?

It wasn’t too long ago that Sony took the wraps off their new full-frame mirrorless cameras, the Sony A7 and A7R and now according to Sony Alpha Rumors, they have managed to obtain Sony’s camera roadmap for 2014 although we’re not sure if this is the entire list of the devices planned, or if it is only a partial list, but given Sony Alpha Rumors’ track record of being spot on with their leaks and rumors, it’s worth taking a look at. According to their source, it seems that Sony will have a bunch of new and exciting cameras to show off in 2014, and will cater to both photographers who want a regular DSLR system, and to those who want a mirrorless system.

Assuming their sources are correct, come 2014 we can look forward to new APS-C E-mount cameras. One of these cameras is expected to be the successor of the NEX-7 (which has been rumored for a while now), and possible entry-level devices. We can also look forward to a new A-mount full-frame camera, new full-frame E-mount cameras, a potential hybrid A- and E-mount camera, and a slim chance of there being a APS-C A-mount device. The latter might be a no-show, but apparently there are prototypes in the works and it’s a matter of whether Sony thinks it’s ready for primetime. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but if you’re a camera enthusiast, these are definitely devices worth looking forward to.
