Being a notepad and pen replacement is just one of the roles that smartphones fill for us now—alongside being a digital camera, a musical jukebox, an address book, and an ever-expanding encyclopedia. Not all the options are created equal, though. Whatever the reason you need to take down notes, these are the best…
Earlier it was reported that Apple could be looking to discount the iPhone XR in Japan. Exactly by how much was anyone’s guess, but now it has been confirmed that the previous reports were true and that over in Japan, buying the iPhone XR on contract from carrier NTT Docomo will help customers save $100 over the course of the contract’s period.
Note that this $100 in savings isn’t a direct discount of the phone’s price, but rather it seems to be in line with the previous reports claim that the savings could be done through carrier subsidies. Previously the iPhone XR 64GB model on a 24-month contract would have cost 36,000 yen in installments, but now it will cost 24,000 yen.
At the moment it only seems that NTT Docomo is offering the discounted iPhone XR, but we imagine that other local carriers should follow suit in the near future as well. Apple has yet to comment on the reason behind the discount, but following various reports suggesting that iPhone sales are not what they used to be, we suppose lowering the price could be one way to generate sales.
Also as we had previously mentioned, these subsidies/discounts are only for Japan. Whether or not Apple plans to bring similar discounts to other markets is unclear (although it feels unlikely), so don’t get your hopes up for a discounted iPhone XR just yet.

It’s a common problem: guys having trouble unhooking their ladies’ bra. Well, hopefully, this is soon going to be a thing of the past thanks to a patent recently granted to Michael M. Ahmadshahi Ph.D., Esq. for his Signal-Activated Lingerie.
The main problem that patent US20170095025 is attempting to solve is described as follows:
“Lingerie, such as bras which are worn by females, have a fastening mechanism, such as a hook-type fastener, which is difficult to open, especially for the male counterpart. A bra according to the present invention could be made using a signal-activated fastener such that the female’s boyfriend or husband could clap his hand and the bra would automatically open.”
And the solution….
In other words, the bra falls off when you clap your hands. I have to say, that’s my kind of clothing. I guess it also falls off at the end of live shows, plays, and when you use the Clapper to turn your light on and off. I suppose that could be a problem.
This tech can be used on a variety of apparels too, like pants and belts for instance. There is even the possibility of voice-recognition technology so that only authorized people can activate it.
I’m applauding this device right, but so far no boobs have been freed in my vicinity.
