Twitter has come under the spotlight earlier today, where we now know that one is able to tag others in a photo without taking up any of the 140 character limit, not to mention being able to cram in up to four photos per tweet. Having said that, it seems that one of its core features, retweets, have been changed to the “Share” button, a terminology that would most probably be associated to Facebook by most.

Samsung is in a very interesting position at this point in time in South Korea – an earlier report did suggest that Samsung could launch the upcoming Galaxy S5 flagship earlier than expected, before Samsung stepped forward to deny such claims, which means that Samsung would comply with the government’s temporary ban on the handset. You know what they say – where there’s a will, there is a way, and whatever ban in place has not stopped the Galaxy S5 going on sale earlier in South Korea as SK Telecom Co. and other carriers attempt to weasel their way around the penalties that are imposed by the national regulator.

There really isn’t anything new under the sun, as you can see from the fashion cycles that tend to repeat themselves from time to time. I am still waiting for the moment where big is beautiful instead of the waif-like models that we still see strut the catwalk and selfies online. Having said that, it seems that blimps and zeppelins do have a special place in the hearts of many, as the U.S. Army even intends to use spy blimps for future conflicts. StratoBus intends to be part of the blimp future, where it is an airship that was specially designed to travel all the way to the Earth’s stratosphere.
