While we spend a lot of time on our smartphones, a good majority of the actions we do usually require no more than a few seconds of tapping. Those, however, require us to look at the screen, even for a short while, which can sometimes be dangerous. Voice control tries to mitigate that, but not all actions, or voices for … Continue reading
Twitter started off with a pretty simple premise. You get 140 characters to say whatever you want to the world. You could tweet at specific people, or just put your thoughts out there for all to see. Since its launch, it’s slowly evolved to include Tweeting video, photos, and more. Currently, all of these extras eat into your character count, … Continue reading

Alert the masters! YouTuber OsirisX must be banished, for they have orchestrated an unholy union. OsirisX installed Arch Linux on a PlayStation 4 that still had version 1.76 of its firmware, and then installed Steam on the desktop OS. Blasphemy! Convenience!.. consoles are computers too!
OsirisX says they used GitHub user fail0verflow’s patched Radeon libraries to make Arch Linux run on the PS4. You can skip to 4:12 in the video below to see Steam chugging along on the console.
Just you wait Sony and Valve. I’m sure the Raspberry Pi 14 will be powerful enough to run all the games of my generation.

FuellessGenerator.net has just shown off a tiny portable energy bike that is able to churn out to power in order to recharge its portable solar powered generators, now how about that for clean energy that is sustainable in the long run of things? The company has managed to modify its fitness bike, allowing it to end up as a hybrid electric generator bike which is not only light – making it extremely portable along the way, but it is also full well capable of charging up just about any cell phone or 12 volt battery regardless of whether it is during the day or at night. Heck, it can also produce household AC 120 volt electricity on demand when it is paired to a small inverter.
Available just about now, FuellessGenerator.net is currently working on its tiny and yet powerful modified fitness bikes so that your energy thirsty devices can be juiced up. This free energy green device was developed to recharge its 1500-watt solar rechargeable generators that the company sells, and when the sun decides to play hide and seek behind the clouds, or during the night, the energy bike will step up to the plate, taking over the energy providing tasks from the solar panels when it comes to charging or simply producing power on demand.
Jan Hrkach, owner of FuellessGenerator.net, said, “Having a Solar Powered Generator is a great idea for back up power when you need it; however, if the sun decides not to shine having another method besides solar for charging the generators was needed. Small hand cranks generators are available for use but produce little power and are difficult to manage. I could not find a generator bike I liked to offer my clients, so I got to work and created the charge bike to be used with the Solar Generators.”
This does seem to be a useful addition in any area that is under developed and yet does not have its power needs fulfilled.

I can distinctly remember taking my kids places when they were stroller size, and fighting with them to stay in the stroller. All kids want to do is escape that thing, and as I walked along in the Texas heat all I wished was that someone would push me around in a shaded comfy stroller. Stroller maker Kolcraft has made that dream possible by creating an adult-size baby stroller.
The company created the stroller to give adults a test ride to see how comfortable it is for kids. The jumbo stroller is based on the Contours Bliss stroller that lots of moms and dads have to cart their littles around in.The massive rig is 7′ 6″ tall, 6′ deep, and 4′ wide, and appears to ride on motorcycle tires in back. It looks utterly ridiculous as an adult size product and I’d rather like one for myself.
I’d hate to have to load this thing into my trunk though. Better yet, put a motor on this bad boy, and you won’t need a trunk or a car to get around.

“This is Pebble Core,” Eric Migicovsky says with a smile. “It’s our first non-watch product. The simplest way to explain it is that it’s a computer that fits on your keychain. It’s a tiny Android computer without a screen. It has 3D, GPS, Wi-Fi, a little bit of memory and both Android and JavaScript apps run on Pebble’s JavaScript framework.”… Read More
