America’s industrial revolution was woven on looms and spun on spools, but it’s been decades since the textile industry began declining. Chis Payne, an architect-turned-photographer, began shooting US textile factories in 2010. He’s kept it up, too, amassing a visual diary of a changing industry.

It does seem that the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact has left a mark in the world of smartphones, as this particular device could very well feature a successor in the weeks or months ahead. Nothing’s been confirmed just yet, but we could very well have seen the Xperia Z2 Compact gain FCC approval, although the handset in question has been certified as the Sony SO-04F “Altair”, which will in all probability be a device made available via NTT DoCoMo of Japan if one were to take the model number as a reference.

South Korean conglomerate has its fair share of smartphones released over the years that will cater to every single budget – all the way from the entry level, stopping by the mid-range before it makes its way to the high end side of things. Well, the Samsung Galaxy Ace Style (also known as the SM-G310HN where its model number is concerned) does seem to be making its way over to Hamburg, Germany, being one of the smartphone models that Samsung has tried to trademark at the beginning of this year, too.

For those of you out there who absolutely cannot live without music, and need to have some sort of tunes playing in the background, be it over a pair of headphones or via a speaker, then it might do you some good to actually invest in a decent portable speaker One that would fit in line with your hectic traveling lifestyle, all the while delivering audio quality that is above the par, surprising even naysayers and the like. The $39.99 X-Mini WE might not look like much at first glance, but that would be making the mistake of judging the proverbial book by its cover.
In fact, this next generation of X-Mini speakers happens to be a portable Bluetooth micro speaker that can kick some serious audio butt, as it boasts of connectivity options that keep up with the times and then some such as Bluetooth 3.0 as well as NFC. This means you no longer need to rely on pesky wires and cables to get in the way of your listening pleasure, where it has up to 5 hours of standard playback on a full battery charge on average.

When you buy a ticket for a Captain America movie you know what you’re going to get: A super-powered dude in blue doing crazy things with a shield, busting people in the jaw, and being very Americanny. Good news! Captain America: The Winter Soldier scratches those itches just fine.

“I would not do it again because there’s nothing else to accomplish … The fact that it worked once, does not mean it will work again.”

It’s one thing to allow a professional tattoo artist to ink your arm. It’s another thing altogether to allow a 3D printer to do it. But that’s exactly what a team of designers in Paris recently did.
By hacking together a custom tattoo gun attachment for a MakerBot 3D printer, they were able to draw a computer-generated tattoo on a man’s arm. As you can see in the video below, the tattoo is very rudimentary (a simple circle), but I’m assuming that’s because it would be pretty difficult to compensate for small movements in the recipient’s arm like a human tattoo artist can do.
What do you guys think? Will there be shopping mall kiosks in the future where you can stick your arm inside and have the art of your choice drawn on by a robot?
Me? I’m sticking with temporary tattoos.

If you send one of your flying robots to kill goats in Hungary, at least send an interesting one. Any of these ten will do.

After a brief stint without a home, Popcorn Time is back online at Popcorn-time.tv. I give it two weeks until the site is pulled and it pops up somewhere else. Meanwhile the installer is actively traded on torrent sites and back on GitHub, showing that a program can exists, but perhaps not thrive, without a flashy front-end website. Read More
