If life was a video game right now, it’d be a pretty terrible one. That’s because it’d just be levels of Facebooks and Twitters and Instagrams and social networks that would encourage us to pimp our lives for likes. And push us to hashbrag what we do. And to make sure the world sees our selfies. Team follow back. Gross.
What you’re looking at is probably the most overbuilt answer to the centuries-old problem of ‘I want to build a skyscraper, but there’s a pesky protected building on the plot already’.
Facebook gave its gender non-conforming users a better way to express themselves early in the year, and now it’s Google’s turn. An update to Google+ rolling out over the next few days will let you type in a custom gender for your social networking pr…
Many educational robots tend to be complex and expensive, or simple and cheap. Where’s the middle ground for students who want to build sophisticated things, but don’t want to pay a fortune just to get started? iRobot thinks it can reach that happy b…
Acer of Taiwan has just announced the Liquid Jade S, which so happens to be an upgraded version of the Liquid Jade smartphone that was first revealed to the masses earlier this May. At first glance, it does look as though the Acer Liquid Jade S is more or less a similar model from its predecessor, but what the Acer Liquid Jade S has for its selling point would be the fact that this is the very first 64-bit smartphone from Acer, where it runs on an octa-core 1.5GHz MediaTek MT6752M processor.
Ready to be launched in Taiwan this coming December 18th, the Acer Liquid Jade S will carry a price tag that is roughly the equivalent of $225 after conversion, which ain’t too shabby at all, really, since it sports a 5” 720p IPS display, LTE connectivity, dual-SIM capabilities, DTS sound, a 13MP camera at the back, a 5MP front-facing camera, 2GB RAM, 16GB of internal memory, all of it crammed into a chassis that measures 143mm x 69mm x 7.78mm while tipping the scales at 116 grams.
A 2,300mAh battery will keep the Acer Liquid Jade S running. Any takers for this seemingly mid-range handset? It remains to be seen whether it will be released outside of Taiwan or not.

While it might be the season to be jolly, it is also the season for Android updates, and this would also mean that Android Wear would not want to miss out on the fun and action. Word on the street has it that there is an Android Lollipop update that could be making its way to smartwatches that run on the Android Wear platform – and this might very well happen as early as tomorrow, in fact. This particular update is said not to be too huge a change as it was where smartphones and tablets are concerned back in the days when KitKat made the jump over to Lollipop, but do brace yourselves for a slew of new features.
It seems that Phandroid’s take on the matter points to Android 5.0.1 Lollipop making its way to Android Wear so that it is easier to use. What about it? Well, there might be easier access to battery as well as storage information, including an option to restore dismissed cards, while quick screen brightness toggles (regular, theater mode and sunlight mode) have also been thrown into the mix, not to mention delivering options for the visually impaired, among others.
The latest rumor would also include a welcome addition if true – an update that might “drastically improve battery life” for select Android Wear watches. It looks like we will have to wait and see if all of this turns out to be true.
Android Wear Devices Could Receive Lollipop Update Soon

JACKSON, Ga. (AP) — Authorities say a Georgia man has been executed for the 1995 killing of a sheriff’s deputy, who was slain minutes after a convenience store robbery.
Authorities said 49-year-old Robert Wayne Holsey was declared dead at 10:51 p.m. Tuesday at the state prison in Jackson.
Holsey received the death sentence for the Dec. 17, 1995, killing of sheriff’s deputy Will Robinson. A jury convicted Holsey in 1997. Prosecutors said Holsey robbed a Milledgeville convenience store and the clerk immediately called police, describing the suspect and his car.
According to court documents, Robinson pulled Holsey over minutes later and Holsey fired on the deputy as he approached the car. Robinson died of a fatal head wound.
Taylor Swift joined her supermodel BFFs at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show to perform “Blank Space” and “Style” on Tuesday night. She was the first and last musical guest to hit the runway at the show, which was taped in London last week and also included performances by Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande and Hozier. Even though the Victoria’s Secret Angels took a stab at “Shake It Off” last week, Swift owned their stage.
Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows are fleeting but friendship is forever.

Rick Santorum won primaries and caucuses in 11 states in 2012, coming in a respectable second in the GOP presidential primary season. And Republicans have a history of bestowing their nomination on the next guy in line, usually an also-ran from the last contest.
