Staples.com Revamps Their Website
Posted in: Today's Chili
Staples, the world’s second largest Internet retailer, will now have a new North American user experience that delivers simplified product search and purchase. This new user experience can be checked out over at Staples.com and Staples.ca, where it will boast of easier navigation, a faster check-out, as well as an expanded number of products for you to spend money on, additional deals and ways to shop – which is fine and dandy considering the holiday season is about to kick off.
Faisal Masud, executive vice president, global e-commerce, Staples, shared, “Customers will notice the improvements on the new Staples online storefronts right away, from the modern and clean design, to the page load time and search results. We overhauled the entire user experience to make it easier for shoppers to find the right products, and the new functionality also lets Staples serve-up more relevant deals and personalized pricing.”
Not to be outdone, Staples will also roll out new versions of its mobile website and mobile app in the months to come. At the end of the day, the Staples online storefronts is said to be fully integrated with the company’s mobile platforms for a truly seamless digital shopping experience. Do you like the new simplified look and feel of Staples.com that features less text as well as larger images, or do you prefer its predecessor?

Hobby Inside is a South Korean professional LEGO building crew. They make multi-layered and very detailed LEGO dioramas for display. While most of their work depict cities and landscapes, they also have a handful of dioramas that feature monsters and mechas duking it out on a wrecked city, like this unmistakable nod to Pacific Rim:
I’ve also included Hobby Inside’s two other robot versus kaiju pieces in the gallery below. One features a Mothra lookalike – Hobby Inside calls it Mothle – while the other has a Godzilla lookalike called Legora and a giant robot called Insider-V (perhaps a mix of Gundam and Combattler-V?).
What I really love about Hobby Inside’s dioramas is how they use LEGO to represent motion and objects that I would never have imagined could be depicted with LEGO. Things like the vapor trail behind the Jaeger’s missiles, Mothle’s web, Legora’s flame and smoke rings and the exhaust coming out of Insider-V’s rocket fist.
If you want to see more of these dioramas, Hobby Inside has detailed breakdowns on its website. The site is in Korean, but it’s worth checking out just for the pictures.

Samsung’s “sports glasses” would apparently have fixed lenses, according to the design filing spotted by the WSJ, rather than the interchangeable visors of Google’s Glass Explorer Edition, as well […]

Nobody drinks coffee anymore. Overrated. Everyone drinks coffee I hear you say? Well…maybe it’s time to get our caffeine in a different form, specifically in the form of new energizing food invention AeroLife. So how does it work? Does it work? Time to find out.

Cramming for a test can make even the brightest minds feel like a pile of mush: Words start blending together, and after scanning pages and pages, it can be tough to tell when concentration falters and thoughts begin to drift. But the good folks at Open Colleges have managed to make neurology engaging and easy-to-process with a cool clickable map of the brain.

Cute? Or very, slightly scary?

It’s all very well commemorating the dead and all that.
But the real point of Halloween is to impress everyone else with your sartorial imagination.
This is something children must learn at a very early age.
All hail, then, to photographer Royce Hutain, who has created a marvelous and very slightly peculiar LED stick figure costume for his 22-month-old daughter, Zoey.

The CyberNet Forum After One Week
Posted in: Today's ChiliThis article was written on December 01, 2006 by CyberNet.
It has been a week since the CyberNet Forum was launched and I have had a lot of fun with it. Many great topics have found a home on our forum and they are all started by a variety of our 42 members. As of right now there are 274 posts that are spread out over 28 different topics…which means each topic is averaging 10 posts.
Some of the topics cover things like what Firefox extensions do you use, the ultimate list of freeware, and even responses to homepages that people have for their browser. These are all useful and at the same time it gives people a chance to discuss their opinions. I think everyone who has registered is very knowledgeable about technology because if a question is asked there will be someone who jumps in to try and answer it.
I have even found myself spending a lot of time over in the forum trying to help people and share my own opinions. The number of emails that I receive on a daily basis has even dropped slightly because of the forum being a place for people to get my response along with several others. I love the new forum and hope everyone thinks it compliments the blog well.
Over in the forum I have made a post to “commemorate” this one-week marker and have provided a few tips. Believe it or not I never really participated in forums before so this was a whole new experience to me. I find it to be commenting on steroids but some things don’t work like HTML, such as inserting a URL. So I walk you through how to do things like that and how to change a few settings. Hope to see everyone over in the forum!
