NSA spied on Huawei founder’s emails to implicate him as a Communist Party insider
Posted in: Today's Chili
Ren Zhengfei might seem to us like a man of mystery; a quintessential “elusive figure” about whom we know very little beyond the facts that he founded Huawei and has had some (partly refuted) connections to the Chinese Communist Party. According to…

Are all speakers created alike? The answer is a definite “No”, and here we are with something that will definitely pique your interest. I am referring to the $59.99 Water Drop Bluetooth Speaker, where it allows you to enjoy your favorite tunes wirelessly courtesy of a Bluetooth connection at just about anywhere. Coming in an aqua light blue color as well as a unique raindrop shape, those happen to be constant yet fun reminders of it’s water resistant capability. It does not matter whether you place it in the bathroom, by the pool, or simply hang it off your beach umbrella with the included strap, it will be equally at home.
Of course, what the whole point of having a waterproof speaker if it were be unable to dish out impressive sounding audio? With an audio output of 3 W and a frequency response of 120-17,000 HZ, it ought to be able to satisfy most folks. If you are an audiophile, you would not even be looking at this in the first place. Of course, apart from playing your favorite tunes, the Water Drop Bluetooth Speaker can also double up as a hands-free calling device, now how about that?

When it comes to weight loss, most experts would say that exercise and a good diet are the keys to shedding those extra pounds. Unfortunately, people have a hundred and one reasons why they can’t stop eating this, or why they can’t get on this particular workout routine. Well, complaining about being out of shape won’t help you any. But complaining while wearing this caffeine-infused top might.
Dubbed as the “Caffeine-Infused Slimming Tank Top,” the tank’s stretchy fabric is infused with micronized caffeine and brown algae. According to its product page, the former is to stimulate lipolysis, which is the natural breakdown of stored fats, while the latter is to moisturize and smooth its wearer’s skin.
Sounds pretty unscientific, but hey, it could work. At the very least, it should give you a little buzz.
The caffeinated tank top is available from Hammacher Schlemmer online for $85(USD). There’s also a set of matching body shorts for $70.

Blizzard, one of the more successful game studios around, still has faith in the StarCraft Ghost concept, calling it “perfectly viable”. At this point in time, I guess you can more or less lump StarCraft Ghost under the same category that Duke Nukem Forever was, where the latter was indefinitely postponed for seemingly forever. StarCraft Ghost has been rumored to be a third-person spin-off, and according to Blizzard producer Alex Mayberry, it might return some day down the road, where it happens to be a title that Blizzard would “like to do”.

If there’s one tool that’s a necessary evil in your kitchen it’s the whisk. Its ability to blend and whip is matched only by its resistance to being cleaned. But if you have access to a 3D printer and a bag of bamboo skewers, this simple adapter could mean you’ll never have to clean out the nook and crannies on a whisk ever again.

There are establishments and people who do not appreciate Google Glass, and it is understandable why. After all unlike smartphones or cameras, it is not obvious when a photo of video is being filmed, which can lead to some people feeling like their privacy is being invaded.
Of course some argue that there is a light indicator that shows when a photo or video is being recorded, and that the feature has to be activated in order for it to work. However security researchers, Mike Lady and Kim Paterson, have created a spyware for Google Glass that will allow photos to be taken without either the wearer or the subject’s knowledge! (more…)
