Like many other users, the battery on my iPhone tends to die right before the end of the day. One obvious solution is to use a case like the Mophie, but I don’t like increasing the size of my phone. Another is to carry a battery charger around with me, but unfortunately, I am just too dunderheaded to remember an extra device. Read More
Earlier this week, a post started on 4chan claimed a wealth of celebrity nudes--a large cache in possession of a hacker who’d gained access to several celebrities’ alleged personal photos—would leak on Sunday. Well, Sunday’s here, the supposed leak has begun, and the internet is reacting accordingly.
We’ve heard music made from bats’ echolocation signals and the sounds of glaciers before, but what about tunes composed with something a little more, say, industrial? And no, we aren’t talking about Nine Inch Nails’ classic The Downward Spiral. Think…
The problem of people being homeless is ubiquitous around the world. A
small design firm in Slovakia has come up with an idea to house these
people in a small, but humane and dignified way. Design Develop, the
design firm, has created what they are calling “Project Gregory.” The
idea behind the project is to use adjacent billboards to create simple,
small homes for the homeless.
Fitbit is one of the most well respected names in the quantified-self space, so we expected a lot of the Fitbit Flex. When we put the device in front of Terrence O’Brien, he found that it wasn’t the most feature-packed, or the flashiest, but…
We’re guessing if there’s one feature that Samsung fans are looking forward to with the Galaxy Note 4 would be its rumored QHD display. This would make it Samsung’s second smartphone to sport such a display, although it would be the first to be available around the world (the Galaxy S5 LTE-A was limited to South Korea).
That being said, is a QHD display a reality or just a pipe dream? Well for those who are a bit skeptical, hopefully this will clear your doubts. It seems that some details of the upcoming Galaxy Note 4 have been spotted on Samsung’s website via its UAProf. According to the UAProf, it lists the display of the Galaxy Note 4 as 2560×1440, effectively giving it a QHD display as previously rumored.
This is good news for would-be Galaxy Note 4 customers who are hoping that Samsung would step up its display resolution for the South Korean tech giant’s second flagship for 2014. Given that Samsung’s display are usually pretty good already, we can only imagine that the higher resolution will help make the display look even sharper.
Either way we guess all will be revealed at Samsung’s event at IFA 2014 which will be kicking off on the 3rd of September, so be sure to check back with us then for the details! In the meantime are you excited that the Galaxy Note 4 will pack a QHD display, or was Full HD good enough for you to begin with?

A couple of weeks ago, Motorola sent out invites to an event that they would be hosting on the 4th of September. While we guess the event could be for just about anything, many have speculated that the announcement could be for the new Moto X and possibly the new Moto G as well.
While it remains to be seen if that is the case, the folks at Phandroid have recently obtained a screenshot of what appears to be Verizon’s internal system which lists the Moto X. Now the new Moto X has gone by the Moto X+1 moniker, but according to Verizon’s system, it is simply referred to as the new Moto X.
We’re not sure if that will be the official name or if it’s just a placeholder for now, but we guess we’ll find out more on the 4th of September. That being said, its listing in Verizon’s system has also revealed that it will be part of the carrier’s lineup and that it will come in 16 and 32GB options.
The listing also mentions Moto Maker which we guess is expected since customizability was one of the phone’s key selling points. It is unclear if Verizon will be having an exclusive with the phone but hopefully more will be revealed this coming week, so check back with us on the 4th of September to learn more.

Back in June, an unusual app called Emojli was announced. For those who are hearing about this for the first time, Emojli is basically an app that only allows users to send messages to one another using Emojis, which for those unfamiliar are those colorful emoticons that you’ve probably seen every now and then in messages you’ve received or seen on the internet.
Well for those who think that the Emojli app is a great idea, you might be pleased to learn that the app has officially launched and you will be able to get your hands on it via the iTunes App Store. Unfortunately it does not appear to be available for Android just yet, but perhaps they might release an Android version later, but for now it will be limited to just iOS.
Now when the app says that it will only let users send messages via Emojis, it takes it one step further as usernames are required to be in Emojis as well. This means that to add your friends, you can’t just search for them via their usual screen names or their real names, but you’ll actually have to figure out what Emoji they used. Unless you’re fluent in Emoji trying to find the right combination could take a while.
We suppose a picture is worth a thousand words so if you think that it could be fun trying to hold conversations with only Emojis, then perhaps Emojli could be the app for you. Any takers?

For those who are fans of old school RPGs, you guys have probably heard and might have even checked out Beamdog’s Baldur’s Gate Enhanced Edition series, which includes the first and second game and the expansion. Well the good news is that if you’re after more old school RPGs, Beamdog and Wizards of the Coast have recently announced that Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition is in the making as well.
Given that Icewind Dale was released back in 2000, this means that 14 years has gone by and we’re sure there are many gamers out there who wouldn’t mind reliving some memories they had back in the day. The game is also slated to arrive on a variety of platforms, such as PC, Mac, the iPad, and even on Android devices and is expected to retail for $19.99.
The game is currently up for pre-order via its website, although the developers did not mention when the game is expected to be released. For those who are planning on pre-ordering, it has also been announced that you guys will be given a chance to be selected to take part in the game’s beta, although once again no mention of when that will be happening either.
There have been mixed reviews regarding the Enhance Editions that have been released so far, with some claiming that they are buggy, while others are praising Beamdog for their efforts. Either way if you’re looking to relive some good old D&D from back in the day, perhaps Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition will be a game to keep an eye out for.

Just last week, Apple sent out invites to an event for the 9th of September which is where they will presumably announce the iPhone 6. The tagline reads, “Wish we could say more,” and it looks like Lenovo has drawn some inspiration from Apple’s invite because in a recent post on Twitter, the company reminded users that they had something to announce on the 4th of September.
As you can see in the image above, the design of the invite certainly looks like it could have been inspired by Apple. That and the fact that the tagline reads, “We can’t say anything either,” seems to be a subtle jab at Apple’s own invite. That being said, the invite clearly shows that Lenovo will be announcing the Vibe X2 at their event.
We’ve recently seen a leaked photo of the handset which shows off what appears to be a metal body. The lollipop in the invite also seems to hint that the phone will be one of the few phones to come with Android L preinstalled, although previous reports have suggested that “L” could stand for Lemon Meringue Pie.
Other rumors about the Lenovo Vibe X2 includes a 5-inch Full HD display, 2GB of RAM, a 5MP front-facing camera, and a 13MP rear-facing camera, but we guess we won’t have to wait too long to find out if the rumors are true, so check back with us on the 4th of September for all the official details!
