Hermit crabs are perhaps one of the most enigmatic and unusual animals in the underwater universe. Though a crustacean, it possesses no shell of its own, but takes over discarded shells of gastropods (like snails and bivalves). When such shells are in short supply the crabs will adopt other items it finds along the sea bed, including trash. Japanese artist Aki Inomata has created fantastic 3D shells specifically for hermit crabs.
Offering free Wi-Fi to shoppers or diners is almost as essential to a business these days as having a public bathroom on site. But at the same time, you don’t want to give it away to just anyone walking by—at least without getting something in return. So D-Link’s new AC 1750 wireless router only doles out the Wi-Fi after someone has checked in to your business’ Facebook page.
LTE might be fast, but it sure ain’t fast enough. Enter new research from MIT and Caltech, which suggests that a little fancy math could boost mobile data transmission rates—by as much as 400 percent.
When Samsung debuted its new line of Tizen-powered wearables, it looked like the original Galaxy Gear had been put on notice. Instead of leaving early adopters in the cold, the Korean smartphone maker has decided to make good on its promise to bring…
Have you heard of Reshape before? If you haven’t, well, here is an opportunity for you to check them out – they happen to be an innovative online video training company that will hook up people with top health and wellness professionals live via TV, and this time around they have introduced a new state-of-the-art device which is able to transform any kind of TV into a Beyond Smart TV alongside a 1080p HD webcam, all thanks to the presence of the TVPRO.
Just what is the TVPRO exactly, you ask? Well, TVPRO happens to be the first intelligent interactive media player that was specially designed to offer the same kind of intuitive features that one experiences on the computer and smartphone right to any TV. It was specially developed by the founders of Reshape Sam Haginas and Beau Haginas, who happen to be former athletes themselves and are currently entrepreneurs in technology and digital media. The creation of TVPRO for the Reshape Platform was meant to be a way to bring a personalized and interactive training experience to your home, live through the TV set.
Beau Haginas said, “When we came up with the concept for Reshape, we wanted the entire platform to be utilized through the TV, because having a live interaction with someone on a small tablet or phone really doesn’t have that live feel. We quickly realized that there was not an efficient solution that was capable of bringing live video communications to the TV. TVPRO truly makes any TV Beyond Smart with live HD video conferencing and an open Android platform providing full web browsing and limitless entertainment options.”
The TVPRO is no slouch either when it comes to performance, as it boasts of a quad-core processor and full 1080p HD webcam, running on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean that would mean you can have just about all of the latest content from the Google Play store. It will also be accompanied by a dual-sided, full QWERTY keyboard air mouse remote so that you can control your TV in the same way as that of your computer. TVPRO would allow users to Skype with family, to hangout with their friends or Reshape with professionals, all in the comfort of your living room. The asking price? $169 on Kickstarter, with the first 500 backers to receive a discount at $139, shipping included.

You know what they say, you haven’t got it made until you are featured on RatedRR! Alright so maybe no one really says that, although to be honest RatedRR’s channel has been pretty entertaining so far. For those unfamiliar, RatedRR is a channel about explosives, guns, and gadgets, with the latter usually being destroyed in some fashion by the former.
Well in the latest RatedRR video, they have taken Apple’s latest Mac Pro, attached it with C4 explosives along with a detonation cord and well, we guess the results will just have to speak for itself. Now prior to RatedRR actually blowing the Mac Pro up, they did some torture tests on it to see just how durable it would be before it cracked.
They dropped it on the ground, dunked it under water, and then stuffed it with C4. Surprisingly the Mac Pro managed to hold its own in the first two torture tests, and even continued working after it was soaked in water. We should note that Apple probably did not design it to be waterproof, so don’t go dunking your Mac Pros just yet.
The detonation cord attached was shaped like Apple’s iconic fruit logo, although we’re not sure if that’s them paying Apple a compliment or them making fun of them but either way it’s pretty cool. In any case if you have a few minutes to spare, you can check out the video above to see the Mac Pro get blown up by C4 in spectacular fashion.
Mac Pro Gets Blown Up By C4 Explosives

Battlefield 4 was released in the later part of 2013 and it was only a couple of days ago when EA confirmed that a new Battlefield was in the works called Battlefield Hardline. This is actually not a bad thing since Hardline will introduce new elements to the game. Instead of it being military focused, Hardline will be about the police, thus adding a more urban element to the game.
That being said, what about Battlefield 4? Given that the game was launched with so many issues that EA and DICE are still trying to figure out, will this mean that EA will abandon Battlefield 4 in favor of Hardline? Well the good news is that no, and Battlefield 4’s developer, DICE, has vowed to continue their support for Battlefield 4 for the foreseeable future.
In a statement released on Battlefield’s website, DICE’s boss Karl Magnus Troedsson wrote, “I want to be sure you all understand that introducing Hardline in no way means we’re done working on Battlefield 4. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Visceral team is leading the development of Hardline, while the DICE team continues to drive BF4. We are committed to giving you the best BF4 experience possible.”
He went on to state that there is an infrastructure already in place that will allow DICE to continue supporting the game. For example there are dedicated Battlefield 4 teams setup in Stockholm, Uppsala, and LA, not to mention the recently launched Community Test Environment that will continue to help refine updates and patches, well all of this seems to suggest that even with Hardline expected to see a release later this year, Battlefield 4 will not be forgotten.
