Samsung & Nissan’s new smartwatches harken back to the fictional timepieces of our favorite entertainment of the past. While allowing us to

with super smart watches in the present.
Katie Couric is looking for all kinds of helpful inventions that will
make her audience think: “Why didn’t I think of that?” You’d better
hurry up though, the open call for submissions closes on October 14th!
I usually write about innovations I think are really cool. The Blizzident is cool, but not the kind of cool I’d like to own. It’s cool as in very weird. I mean look at it. Cornelius in Planet of the Apes
rejected this set of chompers because even ape men don’t have such
hairy teeth. In fact, the Blizzident is a custom toothbrush,
not a set of false teeth, although I bet you’d be a hit wearing it on
Halloween.

What’s a publisher to do? After being bruised and battered by Panda and Penguin updates,
thousands of websites have gone from Google’s first page of SERPs
[search engine results pages] to having their keywords literally losing
gravitas and sinking to the bottom of the heap. Like tumbleweeds
rolling across the digital desert, in the wake of cotton mills [Google’s
original target] being expunged from SERPs, many reputable newsworthy
sites also had to shutter their virtual doors due to an ever-evolving
ALGO constantly reinventing itself.

I’ve got something really special for you today. It’s the first
revolution in eyewear since the contact lens. It’s called Frameri, code
for ‘one lens, many frames.’ That’s right, one pair of removable lenses
that fit several pairs of eyeglass frames. Frameri lets you change
your frames to fit your fashion, your mood, the weather, whatever…!
Amstel Beer has created quite possibly the coolest vending machine
in history, and that says a lot, as there has been some steep competition over the years.
The inability for people to shut themselves off from technology, for
example, has been the inspiration of many online memes and rants urging
people to spend time with each other, or focus on or appreciate their

I was a smoker for
several years. I eventually gave it up
due to an odd habit that I have of thinking with my fingers over my mouth and
