Forget about saving the world – sometimes, it pays to pay attention to the small little details such as saving data. Captain America, the super soldier, might be having a rocking good time at the cinema at the moment in The Winter Soldier, but this does not mean that the relentless march of product tie-ins and merchandising has stopped. No sir, you will also be able to purchase his shield that will come with the added ability to store data via a USB flash drive form factor, although you can ditch ideas of melting it for its vibranium since it is made out of zinc alloy instead.

Turkey Regulator To Unblock Twitter
Posted in: Today's Chili
March has proven to be a rather tumultuous time in Turkey, especially Istanbul, no thanks to the unrest among the people there and their unhappiness with the current Prime Minister. In fact, the government of the day laid down the banhammer on Twitter in Turkey, with the possibility of YouTube following suit as well, although Turkish courts had since lifted the ban on Twitter. However the government has yet to do so, and has just hinted earlier today that Twitter could be accessible soon now that the elections are over.

Despite Monty Python’s efforts to the contrary, lumberjacks are still stereotyped as the roughest, toughest folks you’ll ever find in the forest. But who’s to say they don’t enjoy a spot of mid-afternoon tea? And what could be better suited to the task than this axe-shaped tea infuser?

BlackBerry has made some major changes to its device strategy. Last year it only launched four BlackBerry 10 devices, the Z10, Z30, Q10 and Q5. It was expected to launch two more mid-range smartphones but they didn’t materialize, apparently the company cancelled them. We have been seeing leaked images of a seemingly mid-range BlackBerry smartphone, codenamed “Kopi,” for quite some time now. Its unclear if this is one of the devices that the company cancelled, or if its still on the cards for 2014.

Diablo 3: Reaper Of Souls Shifts 2.7 Million Copies So Far, Digital And Physical Versions Combined
Posted in: Today's Chili
To say that Blizzard is a successful games publishing company would be an understatement. An extremely toned down understatement, I might add. The company is well known for its fair number of meticulously crafted hits, and most of the time, these hit titles will continue from where it left off previously. Take the hack-and-slash dungeon crawler RPG for instance – Diablo has been keeping players on their toes against the forces of evil, first in Tristram all those years ago, until now with Diablo 3. In fact, Blizzard claims that Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls has sold more than 2.7 million digital as well as physical copies online and at retail stores to date.

Logitech has rolled out a new portable wireless speaker with a playful design. The X100 speaker is able to connect to your smartphone or other device wirelessly using Bluetooth. While it’s small enough to fit in the palm of you hand, Logitech says it “delivers rocking sound” which I have to assume means it’s loud for its size.
The X100 is offered in five color including black, teal, blue, purple, and navy. At least that is what I would call those colors. Power comes from an internal rechargeable battery.
That battery is good for five hours of use per charge. If your device doesn’t have Bluetooth, you can connect it to the speaker using a 3.5mm cable. Wireless range is 30-feet and you can order one for $49.99(USD).

When George Laurer goes to the grocery store, he doesn’t tell the check-out people that he invented the barcode, but his wife used to point it out. "My husband here’s the one who invented that barcode," she’d occasionally say. And the check-out people would look at him like, "you mean there was a time when we didn’t have barcodes?"
