Hasta La Gadget!

We’ve heard of phones exploding, we’ve also seen hoverboards catch on fire, and now if you’re the type that gets paranoid easily, you might have to skip this post because it has recently been reported that our wearables could explode as well. In a report from Associated Press (via Gizmodo), a woman in Milwaukee suffered second-degree burns after her Fitbit exploded.

According to the report Dina Mitchell, the woman in question, was wearing her Fitbit when it exploded on her. This resulted in her suffering from second-degree burns and doctors had to pick pieces of plastic out of her wound. Mitchell claims she was reading a book when the tracker exploded and that there was no indication that anything was wrong. Mitchell said, “The Fitbit itself is totally melted. The bracelet melted, and I got pieces of plastic burned into my arm.”

She also claims to have been very careful when wearing the device, but it appears it wasn’t enough to prevent what happened to her. “If they are exploding or if there’s some type of malfunction with them, I mean, I’m going to have a scare from this probably, can you imagine what it would do to a child?”

To be fair, we haven’t really heard of Fitbit’s exploding so this could be a one-off incident. In a statement provided to Gizmodo, Fitibt said, “We have spoken with Ms. Mitchell and are actively investigating this issue. We are not aware of any other complaints of this nature and see no reason for people to stop wearing their Flex 2. We will share additional information as we are able.”

If you love mashups in video games like the Marvel VS Capcom series, or Street Fighter X Tekken, then you might have heard that last year, the latest title in the Marvel VS Capcom series was announced in the form of Marvel VS Capcom: Infinite. The game was set for a release in 2017, and now we have a specific date to look forward to.

In a post on the Capcom website, the company has confirmed that the title will be released on the 19th of September, 2017. According to Capcom, “As exciting as our prior Marvel vs. Capcom fighting games have been, we’ve never seen a true fusion of the two iconic universes. Yes, heroes and villains crossed the stream, so to speak, but did we ever truly see the worlds collide? In Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, not only will combatants from both sides be hurled into chaos, but they’ll also be hounded by the game’s titanic new threat – Ultron Sigma, a fusion of two of the most menacing mechanoids from the Marvel and Capcom universes.”

Capcom has also announced additions to the roster of characters which will include Ultron, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, Rocket Raccoon, Chun-Li, Strider Hiryu, and Chris Redfield. They have also announced that they will be taking pre-orders today where there will be three different versions of the game that gamers can pre-order.

The standard version pre-order is priced at $60 and will also include Warrior Thor and Evil Ryu Premium Costumes. There is also the Deluxe Edition priced at $90 which will include the two costumes mentioned above, along with Gladiator Hulk and Command Mission X, and the 2017 Character Pass that will grant players access to 6 post-launch characters.

Last but not least is the Collector’s Edition priced at $200 which will also come with four interlinking dioramas from the TriForce, LED-powered Infinity Stones, and a Deluxe Edition copy of the game.

The American lawbreaker who became a viral internet sensation as the “hot convict” because of his visually arresting mugshot won’t get a chance to show England he’s become a model citizen.

Jeremy Meeks, 33, now a fashion model who had traveled to London for a photo shoot, was deported Monday night from Heathrow Airport because of his previous criminal record, according to the Daily Mail.

“I’ve been denied,” Meeks said as he walked through the airport, according to “Inside Edition.” “London don’t want me here. I done served my time. S*** is crazy. Don’t make no sense.”

Meeks, became known as the “hot convict” in June 2014 after the Stockton Police Department in California arrested him on weapons and gang charges, and his mugshot went viral. He spent two years behind bars, and was freed in March 2016. 

The “hot con” has been working as a fashion model since February. But he never got beyond the airport for his London assignment.

Meeks’ manager, Joe Jordan, said his client’s paperwork to enter the U.K. was in order. Meeks also had a letter from his parole officer giving him permission to travel, according to the New York Daily News.

None of that held any sway with U.K. immigration officials, who escorted him onto a plane eight hours after he landed in London.

Jordan told the Daily Mail he hopes Meeks’ visa problem is temporary.

“He was on the right track for what we feel was going to be his new life. Now he’s very sad,” Jordan said. “Hopefully this is just a setback and he will be able to come back from this.”
