Virtual pets are a natural fit for the wrist-borne Pebble smartwatch, and it was only a matter of time before a Tamagotchi-inspired app made its way to the platform. One of the new games debuting for Pebble at GDC this year is Hatchi, which is exactly that. The app originally appeared on iPhone, and on both platforms it features a pixelated pet for you to play with, though on the watch the… Read More

A tandem bike can make for a romantic outing for a couple in love, but when there’s just a single passenger it makes for a challenging ride. So California-based Calfee Design built a pair of custom tandem bikes that can actually be transformed into single passenger cycles with just a few simple tools.

Samsung’s shiny new Galaxy S5 packs quite a stats punch with built-in sensors and the help of S Health, but the monitoring of vital signs could lead to regulatory issues. Officials with South Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety had been…

Last month, the Nationals were seen using a four-rotor drone to take publicity photos. The FAA took issue. "No, we didn’t get it cleared, but we don’t get our pop flies cleared either and those go higher than this thing did," a team official told the AP afterward. Which pretty neatly sums up the FAA’s conundrum with regulating drones in the wild.

When the first Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch was launched last year, initially it only supported Samsung’s flagship devices. Soon after that the company rolled out support for some of its older devices through software updates. However, the smartwatch was never opened up to other Android devices. Some hoped that this would be rectified come the second generation of Samsung smartwatches. Last month the company launched Gear and Gear 2 Neo, while they run Tizen instead of Android, they too are not compatible with non-Samsung devices. However, there exists a possibility that they might be opened up to other devices in the future.

We all carry secrets. Some are worthy of national news coverage, and others would make our faces go red if our friends or family found us out. While you can always tuck things away in what you think are the last places anyone would ever look, you’d be surprised how out in the open they are to those who are curious.
While a mysterious box, nook under a floorboard, or the back of the closet are noble choices, they’re not foolproof. Well, the Privacy Pillow isn’t foolproof either, but it would be a valid option to hide something. The secret compartment can hold items such as an iPad, as its dimensions are 24x32cm. Of course, it doesn’t have to be a book or similarly shaped device for this to be functional. This has a patented hidden entry point that will allow you to safely seal whatever you want to hide inside of your pillow.
Of course, whatever you put in there is up to you. Hopefully this is machine washable, as storing candies or snacks in there won’t bode well if you forget to take out said treats before laying your head on it. This will cost you around $30, and comes with a soft touch polyester cover. While this seems like a swell idea, I can’t imagine this would be great to sleep on if you’re trying to stuff it full of secret items.

Twitter users can already create lists of people or accounts that they want to follow. Lists don’t show up in the main timeline, so that is left uncluttered, and when lists are opened users only see relevant tweets there. While this works, its not exactly the epitome of a user-friendly feature. Which is presumably why Twitter is testing a new timeline called “Fave People.” From the looks of things, tweets from favorite accounts and people will show up in this timeline, which will be placed right next to the main timeline on the Android app.
This feature has so far only popped up in the alpha version of Twitter’s Android app, it hasn’t even made it to the beta version. So its too soon to say if Fave People timeline is also going to be rolled out for iOS and other platforms, that might happen if Twitter decides to make it a permanent fixture in its mobile apps. In the alpha version, users need to swipe left from the main timeline to open Fave People.
Those who follow a lot of people might find it hard to go through their entire list and star people they want in the Fave People timeline, though it would be much easier to include anyone followed after this feature goes live. Fact remains that Twitter might not let it pass alpha stage if testers believe it isn’t engaging enough. We’ll have to wait and see if it makes the cut.
