Hasta La Gadget!

Back in 2012, we came across a device known as Instacube. Essentially the device is a glorified digital photo frame which has been described as  “living canvas” and basically pulled photos from a user’s Instagram account to display.

Digital photo frames have been around for a while now and they too can display a series of photos like in a slideshow, but we guess Instacube has the “advantage” of being able to display Instagram photos instead. The good news is that if this is a device you’ve had your eye on, you’ll be pleased to learn that the gadget will finally begin shipping in April, a little more than a year since it was announced.

Now according to reports, it seems that the reverse has happened. The Nokia Store app on the Nokia X has managed to be extracted and installed on none other than a Jolla smartphone, which for those unfamiliar is a phone made by ex-Nokia employees and runs an operating system known as Sailfish OS.

In just three years, the Galaxy Note has grown from a niche device to a must-have, which is almost as eagerly anticipated as Samsung’s Galaxy S flagships. When we placed the Galaxy Note II in the hands of our tame phone driver, they had nothing but…

Great and powerful provider of food delivery Seamless and GrubHub take almost a 14 percent cut on every order, according to data culled by Quartz from the company’s IPO prospectus. That means in some cases, Seamless is eating almost all the gratuity, if you give the traditional 15 – 20 percent.
