HTC has not exactly been doing quite well as a company in recent memory, but it is also nice to see that they have not yet thrown in the towel and let the likes of Samsung and LG walk all over them. No sir, they hit back quite hard with the HTC One that drew its fair share of rave reviews from the masses, and this time around, they have taken something good and made it even better. We are referring to the HTC One max, which is a larger sized smartphone which will deliver the kind of sleek design and functionality that can be found on the HTC One. Of course, there is one standout feature which would be the Fingerprint Scan, where it brings convenience to a new level while maintaining features such as HTC BlinkFeed, HTC Zoe and HTC BoomSound, working in tandem with the latest HTC Sense 5.5.

The HTC One max will feature a 5.9″ Full HD 1080p display, where it will run on a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor with a quad-core 1.7GHz CPU that ought to make light work of graphics intensive apps and programs. With a microSD memory card slot, it is a snap to expand on the 16GB or 32GB of internal memory, while you will also be on the receiving end of a generous 50GB of extra free Google Drive online storage space. There is no word on pricing just yet, but the HTC One max is tipped to roll out worldwide from the end of this month onward. I guess all of the leaks in the past have been confirmed! [Press Release]

Have you ever wondered whether you have what it takes to be part of the army? Sure, in the world of video games, the sniper position is more or less heralded to be at the top of the food chain because more often than not, an unerring sense of accuracy trumps most of the other qualities required, but as we all know very well, the modern day battlefield is no “one man show”. Everyone out there has a part to play in the success of a critical mission, but just in case you are still adamant on being the sniper of the group, here is the $79.95 100′ Range Foam Dart Blaster for you to consider getting.

This particular 100′ Range Foam Dart Blaster, as its name suggests, is capable of shooting harmless foam darts from a distance of up to 100′ away. You will be able to pull Its bolt back smoothly in order to load a 4″-long x 1″ diam. blunt-headed dart into the chamber directly from a six-round magazine which is clipped into the undercarriage. A single squeeze of the trigger will fire the dart thanks to a powerful spring, delivering minimum “dart drop” downrange to boot. There is also a bipod that unfolds from the barrel so that it can secure the rifle whenever the need for precise aim arises. This is an interesting method of figuring out whether your little one has a penchant for shooting with accuracy, of course, in a safe and controlled manner.
