For those of you who have already decided to go with Android inspired Nokia X, then you would be interested to hear that both WhatsApp as well as Instagram are on its way to the affordable and yet versatile smartphone. After all, WhatsApp and Instagram happen to be rather popular apps in their own right, so it is a no-brainer to see WhatsApp and Instagram make an appearance on the hugely popular Nokia X – I’m willing to go so far as to say that these two might end up as some of the first downloads that one would make.

Twitter’s first tweet tool is a painful reminder that none of us initially ‘got’ this Twitter thing

Some ladies love to pamper themselves, and they go to the hair salon once in a while to get a new look which does wonders to the soul, and when you couple that with a pedicure, manicure, and throw in a massage session, you’ve melted her heart. Of course, at the hairdresser’s, that is a prime breeding ground for gossip as well as to catch up on the latest happenings in town. Waiting for your hair to dry is often punctuated by such conversations, but what if you are more of an introvert and prefer to be at home? I suppose you could wash your hair in the comfort of your own bathroom, and get it dried with the $69.95 Folding Bonnet Hair Dryer.
The Folding Bonnet Hair Dryer happens to be able to fold into a convenient size for easy storage whenever it is not in use – which makes perfect sense, really, when it comes to modern day families where living space is at a premium in congested cities. When folded flat, this dryer happens to measure a mere 16″ x 14″ x 6″, which makes it a snap to slip under a bed or store on a shelf. Whenever you need to dry your hair, just set the Folding Bonnet Hair Dryer on a table or countertop, and it can expand from 20″ to 24″ high, offering a 15″ x 14″ bonnet that is large enough to accommodate a coiffure which has been set with jumbo rollers. A couple of speed settings and 1,875 watts of heating are sure to dry even the thickest hair in no time at all.

Iron Man 2: 1/4 Scale Mark V Suitcase Mobile Fuel Cell Will Keep You Powered up
Posted in: Today's ChiliIron Man 2 may not have been one of the best Marvel movies made, but it had a lot of nice details and eye candy. Which is great for merchandising. Take the scene on the race track where Tony Stark’s armor comes to life from a suitcase. That was probably the best scene in the movie, so of course you can now buy that suitcase – as a battery pack.
It won’t turn into armor, but this prop replica will power your gadgets. The Mark V armor suitcase fuel cell is a 1/4 scale replica, and it was made from official Marvel references like the original prop and 3D digital files. Inside, it’s got a large 12,000 mAH battery pack, and the lights on the side of the briefcase indicate the power level remaining.
It looks awesome and makes for a kick-ass power for your phones, mobile devices, and gaming consoles. You can pre-order it for $99.99(USD) over at BigBadToyStore.
Of course, if you really want to splurge, you could go for this full-size Iron Man 2 briefcase replica over on eBay.

Driving in the city sucks. There are other cars and buses and bikes and people—god, so many people. And cars—being heavy metal machines capable of moving at great speed—are also highly dangerous. Instead of trying to accommodate everyone in an unhappy medium, cities are increasingly designing streets for pedestrians over cars. Check these ambitious projects all over North America doing exactly that.
