Today Nintendo released Super Smash Bros for Wii U, the fifth installment in the series and close companion to Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS. While the video game streaming service Twitch is not native to the Wii U, several means of transmission allow the game to be streamed by 3rd parties. As such, supposing the reviews you’ve read so … Continue reading
First revealed earlier this summer, Hasbro’s latest version of the most iconic spaceship in the Star Wars universe is finally available to add to your collection. The two-and-a-half-foot long Millennium Falcon toy (if you can even call it that at this scale) is packed with details and believe it or not is powered solely by imagination—no batteries required.
Why settle for a vape pen that can only handle oils, waxes, loose-leaf marijuana or e-liquids when one pen can do it all? Multimode pens are getting easy to find, and they’re quickly dropping down to double-digit prices. Problem is, a lot of these cannabis and tobacco-vaporizing devices perform like you bought them at a 99-cent store.
If you’re an AT&T customer eager to get your hands on the over-sized Nexus 6, get ready to wait a bit. AT&T stores are apparently returning the first crop of Nexus 6 units to Motorola over a software bug, Droid Life reports. And it’ll likely be a…
Technology that can age wine within minutes sounds like it belongs in the same too-good-to-be-true boat as those ads for that “one food that kills belly fat.” But the inventor behind a device that claims to do just that, the Sonic Decanter, recently invited to me to test out this fantastical technology. Does it work? As it turns out, tasting a bunch of wines is fun either way.
Earlier this month, Google Maps for Android received the requisite Material Design update and tacked on in-app restaurant reservations for good measure (in the US). A new version is rolling out, and with it comes some handy features to lend a hand…
It’s been over a year-and-a-half since documents leaked by Edward Snowden shook our sense of privacy to the core . Those documents proved that government is spying on us pretty much all the time. And now that we know Congress isn’t going to do anything about it right away, it’s time to find the tools to protect yourself. Detekt is a good one.
The iPad Air 2 is definitely not a cheap tablet at all, as this happens to be the thinnest tablet on the planet – which will also warrant a relatively higher price point compared to other tablet models out there in the market. Having said that, this particular iOS-powered device will also come with 2GB RAM, and since it is already rather exclusive for a tablet in its class, how about bringing things up by another notch through the 24K gold-plated iPad Air 2?
Vietnamese jeweler Karalux are the ones behind this iPad Air 2 that comes covered with gold. The asking price for the gold-plated 64GB iPad Air 2 stands at $1,315, which would mean that it carries a $700 premium compared to the regular price of the tablet. Apart from that, there will be 16GB and 128GB models available, where they have been priced at $1174 and $1644, respectively. Since you would have forked out more than a grand for any of the models, those who do so before November bids adieu would be on the receiving end of either a gold-plated tie pin or a Zippo lighter with a similar finish.
If you already happen to own the iPad Air 2, would you be willing to fork out so much more for a gold-plated model out of vanity?

If you got your first real six string at the Five and Dime and you and you and some guys from school got together to record some songs primarily during and around the summer of 1969, you probably could have used the Mikme. The Mikme is a box-shaped microphone that can sit anywhere in the room and record, the creator claims, audiophile-quality sound wirelessly. It connects to a phone or tablet… Read More
Not all that long ago, pretty much everything could kill us. It wasn’t uncommon for loads of high society Victorian peeps to drop like flies, courtesy of the weirdest way to kick the bucket ever… deadly clothing.
Toronto’s Bata Shoe Museum is currently hosting one of the coolest (if not the only) death-and-clothing related exhibits ever, entitled “Fashion Victims: The Pleasures and Perils of Dress in the 19th Century.” The exhibition is made up of 90+ clothing items that have all… well, killed people.
In the days before proper testing, dyes were made out of things like picric acid, arsenic, and an array of other horrifyingly-toxic chemicals. When it was first created, mauve dyes were the biggest thing since sliced bread, and everyone wanted something dyed soft purple. Turns out that the synthetics were deadly, and the fashion forward paid the price.
Other offenders were exploding hair combs, flammable tulle that when ignited set groups of ballerinas on fire, and beaver-fur hats that contained mercury, coincidentally spawning the term “Mad as a Hatter.” But the worst of the worst was a dye used to create garments tinged emerald green…
Ladies and men all over the world were elated when a man by the name of Carl Wilhelm was able to actually create a color-fast green, a welcome departure from the blue and yellow dyes that were common to the period. Unfortunately, everyone found out that mixing arsenic and copper in order to hold the pigment was also insanely toxic, and in most cases, deadly. Who knew?
