When pollen flies through the air, allergies run wild. Good (or bad?) thing there’s Thanko’s big yellow mask to shield you from pollen (and social interaction!)
It looks like Thanko means business when it comes to its pollen mask. At first glance, it resembles those protective masks that beekeepers wear. While it won’t protect your from bees, it will keep the pollen out. And while it looks stuffy, the wearer is kept cool and comfortable thanks to its built-in USB-powered fan, which has two settings you can choose from.
The Thanko USB Pollen Mask sells for ¥3,980 (~$38 USD). Dignity sold separately.

I didn’t know this until I went to work for Apple Retail, but their credo is "Enriching Lives." I never had a job with a philosophy attached to it. I know the Marines have one. It’s Semper Fi. If you see that on a bumper sticker, it’s Latin for, "Mess with this car, and you’re dog meat."

If there is one thing about LEGO bricks, it is this – they are virtually able to be anything, limited only by your imagination as well as the number of pieces available. I suppose this is somewhat akin to programming as well, where you have certain functions available, and with the right technical know how, you too, would be able to program some of the other functions that you would like to use. This is the basis for Build with Chrome, which happens to be a collaboration between Chrome and the LEGO Group that relied on WebGL, a 3D graphics technology, to be brought to life.

The nearly mythical Nokia X may be so close to release that Benchmark numbers are starting to appear online. The handset is also known as Nokia Normandy and under the codename Nokia RM-980. Typically, benchmark start appearing online when the device’s software is pretty much done, and optimizations are somewhat in place.
