If you’ve ever read the newspaper in a library or a coffee shop, you’ve probably used those long wooden holders that help make them slightly easier to wrangle without tearing the pages and impossible to pilfer. But an ad agency in Switzerland found a way to make them even more useful with invisible LED news tickers that enhance the day-old papers with the latest headlines.

Static, low-res satellite imagery is so passé. Watching HD video from space satellites is the future, especially when looking down on the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building.

When it comes to cameras on a smartphone, you can more or less say that the improvements made in this department has definitely blown the mind, with the VGA quality shots of the previous decade being nothing more than a bad memory. HTC has certainly done their bit to ensure that camera technology has improved tremendously in their previous flagship smartphones, with the HTC One (M7) delivering an UltraPixel camera which has a higher focus on low-light performance compared to simply having a high megapixel count, while the HTC One (M8) has a Duo Camera setup that will boast not only of an UltraPixel shooter, but also a secondary camera that enables the user to blur either the background or foreground of a photo. What’s next down the road?
An HTC executive, Symon Whitehorn who happens to be HTC’s imaging expert, has dropped a hint on what the future major camera feature from HTC will be. Whitehorn shared, “Optical zooming in a smartphone is not too far off at all for HTC. I can’t give too much away, but within 12-18 months we’ll see huge advances in phone optics.”
Could we be looking at an optical zoom lens which might be able to elevate smartphone cameras to the next level? [Press Release]

If you happen to own the HTC One M8 from Verizon Wireless, then it would be prudent for you to pay attention – this particular flagship smartphone is on its way to picking up a software update, and of course, with this new software update, one will be able to enjoy a slew of new features and fixes that ought to make your HTC One M8 user experience a whole lot more pleasant. The US models do seem to have fallen behind their counterparts in different areas of the world when it comes to software updates, but better late than never would apply beautifully here.
In the new software update, do expect the version number to get bumped up all the way to 1.55.605.2, and among the improvements, you can expect to see the roaming indicator icon removed on some HTC One M8 devices, not to mention resolving an issue that involves webpage and application connection errors under select conditions, fix Bluetooth connectivity improvements, and enjoy an improved sync behavior when closing the flip with Dot matrix case. The entire software update would be approximately 122MB in size. I guess it would be AT&T and T-Mobile subscribers who are left waiting for this software update on their respective HTC One M8 smartphones. [PDF Link]

Not to sound like an old man or anything, but when I was young you had a mattress and a frame to rest it on. We didn’t need anything fancy. Kids nowadays. Bah. They can sleep on anything they want. Like this Jeep Wrangler.
Count sheep while you sleep in your Jeep, while not far away, the boogeyman creeps. Kids will be dreaming of some off-road fun when they sleep in this bed. Etsy seller Jeepbed will sell you a template for $29.95(USD) that provides step-by-step instructions for you to make this bed. It should cost about $250 in materials – plus an ample dose of your time and effort to build one.
Just make sure the brakes are on. And don’t put junior to sleep outdoors near a hill. That could be dangerous.
