Hasta La Gadget!

It was just yesterday when we talked about how Samsung’s Gear smartwatch range would be able to take advantage of Nokia’s HERE services, and here we are with another interesting news update that will surely have Samsung smartphone owners sit up and take notice – even if you do not own a Samsung smartwatch from the Gear family. I am referring to the official announcement from Nokia concerning HERE Maps on the Android platform, where it will be exclusively available for the collection of Samsung Galaxy smartphones.

Yup, you read that right – Nokia has finally delivered HERE Maps to Android, and it would be the Samsung Galaxy smartphone range that will benefit from this move first. HERE Maps on Android will bring along with it features such as turn-by-turn navigation for pedestrians as well as other functionalities that one would be familiar with if you happened to have used HERE before.

No doubt offline navigation would be one feature that is looked forward to, especially for those who do a whole lot of traveling and do not want to invest in a dedicated GPS navigation device, but rather, to rely on their smartphones and the device’s integrated GPS. Offline maps means you no longer have to settle for expensive data roaming bills on your Google Maps, as it gets you from point A to point B within a selected pre-saved radius for free as not a single byte is downloaded. Just make sure you do your homework beforehand!

It remains to be seen whether HERE Maps for Android will appear on other brands that run on the Android platform. [Press Release]

When it comes to Chromebooks, these are not exactly computing devices that will actually light up the consumer electronics market, unless you are one who is always on the lookout for a decent computer that does all of the bare basics – surfing the Internet and doing some word processing from time to time, without having to break the bank. Well, here is something from Toshiba that might just fit the bill perfectly – the Toshiba Chromebook CB30-007, which is a 13” Bay Trail laptop.

Needless to say, the Toshiba Chromebook CB30-007 would be the latest Chromebook that hails from this Japanese hardware manufacturer. When you take a first look at it, it is similar to the model that Toshiba released earlier in 2014, but that particular model came with an Intel Celeron 2955 Haswell processor, while this latest bad boy would arrive with a lower-power Celeron N2830 Bay Trail chip.

Appearing in Australia first, it would not surprise anyone if the Toshiba Chromebook CB30-007 were to eventually make its way to the U.S. as well as on the Old Continent. Apart from the dual-core Intel Celeron N2830 processor, it will feature a 13.3” 1366 x 768 pixel display, 2GB RAM, and 16GB of internal memory. The RAM remains as it is from the day of purchase, so you’re pretty much maxed out there.

This is a bed that would give Ronald McDonald pleasant dreams – just in case his trillions of dollars don’t help him sleep at night.

It’s called the Supersize Bed. because it is brightly colored to look like a french fry carton. The headboard is in fact a huge carton of french fries. Wait. It gets even better. Those fries in the carton? They are removable cushions that you can sleep and cuddle with, without getting all greasy and salty.

This bizarre bed is a collaboration between set and costume designer Cecilia Carey and “architectural foodsmith” Harry Parr of Bompas & Parr. All it needs is a heat lamp.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my fries will keep,
If they wilt before I wake,
I pray the Lord my mom will take… me to McDonalds.

Are you on a gluten-free diet? No dairy? No soy? Are you a supporter of the organic and non-GMO movement? Do you try to stay away from high-fructose corn syrup or anything that is full of sugar? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions or if you just like a delicious nutrition bar, you may want to try Squarebar.

When Keurig announced its new Keurig 2.0 , it came with more than just the ability to brew larger 30oz K-Carafe cups. It also came with measures to ensure only Keurig-approved cups could be used. Those measures didn’t work.
