Tumblr today joins other top internet companies in adopting the two factor authentication standard. Users can configure it through the Settings section.

Researchers at UC Irvine have determined that golfers who can’t keep their shots out of the rough might actually be responsible for wildfires in California in recent years. Specifically, certain clubs made from a titanium alloy have been found to produce sparks up to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit—more than hot enough to ignite dry foliage—when they make contact with rocks and stones in the rough.

At GDC 2014, Sony dropped a bomb in the VR world by introducing its VR headset concept to the world (this was preceded by its share of Sony rumors).

If you’ve ever done karaoke, you know how absolutely embarrassing it can be your first time. We often sing in the car with music turned up fairly loud so we can’t be a proper judge of our own capabilities. You don’t realize how much or little talent you have as a singer until you’re put on display for all to hear. Of course, stage fright can also be a huge factor!
If you want to knock it out of the park, but need the music to practice with, you can have your own karaoke box wherever you are with the Mini Karaoke Player. All you need is to connect this microphone to a music player, plug in some ear buds and start practicing! This will merge the sounds of your voice with the music from your player. If you’d like, you can even record yourself (if you’re using your phone for example) so you can improve.
Should you want to use this at a party, you can hook it up to speakers and sing for your audience. There are echo effects available, volume controls, and left and right stereo microphones for singing with friends. It can be on standby for about 10 hours (and likely far less when in use) before needing a recharge. This will cost around $40, and comes in blue, pink, yellow, and silver. In no time at all, you’ll become a karaoke star!
