iPad Stand and Tissue Holder Rolled Into One

by

There is no point in hiding it. Everyone does it at some point. Even several years back, people were already making references to and poking fun at habits which resulted in the use of gadgets in the bathroom. Some think it strange. Some think it gross. Others won’t admit whether they do so or not.

We do know it happens, though – whether you update your Facebook status while doing your business, or you check your email, or you read the news. And for this very specific purpose, the iPad stand and tissue holder rolled into one will make your life easier.

There’s nothing like a good, long documentary marathon session to spend a lazy weekend. I have not done that lately, but I would give an arm and a leg to be able to do absolutely nothing for an entire weekend but watch all the documentaries I can watch, with breaks only for the necessary things.

If you hold the same opinion of documentaries as I do, and you particularly like tech (you’re reading this, so you must have a proclivity for the topic), let me help you feel a little better on a Monday. You may not know it, but there are some pretty interesting tech documentaries slated for 2013. While you might have to wait for some them, the idea of having something to give you your documentary fix ought to put a smile on your face AND those that have been released should do you good for now.

Here are the tech documentaries to watch this year. [Read more…] about Tech Documentaries to Watch This Year

Gamers and professionals who rely on their keyboards to make a living, the importance of an efficient device cannot be stressed enough. While I have not had a crazy moment which pushed me to spend hundreds of dollars on a keyboard, I have heard stories of people who would go to great lengths to get the keyboard of their dreams.

Now what if you can have a keyboard that you can customize to as high a degree as you want and have it look really good as well?

Enter the e-ink keyboard concept, which has been designed by Maxim Mezentsev & Aleksander Suhih. Being a concept – for now – the e-ink keyboard exists only in the minds of the two designers – and as image files, thankfully for us. The idea behind the e-ink keyboard is to present a tool that is dynamic, being open to tweaks and alterations of the keys depending on the needs of the user.  [Read more…] about The E-Ink Keyboard Concept Might Be the Best Keyboard Ever

The Art of Getting Retweets

Getting Retweets

Twitter has more than 500 million users, with 150,000 new users signing up every day. Not all of those are active users (that number is about 100 million every month), but those who do use Twitter actively generate an average of 55 million tweets per day. (Source)

Seeing those numbers, one would be an idiot not to want to take advantage of the potential audience on Twitter. No matter what your purpose may be – personal brand building or business expansion – there are a lot of people on Twitter who may be the targets of your message. And one way to get the word out even more is to get retweets – as many as you can; and the more retweets you get, the better.

So how do you go about getting retweets? [Read more…] about The Art of Getting Retweets

Cloud Computing

“IT hiring in 2013 will focus on jobs involving cloud computing, mobile technology and business intelligence, said staffing professionals.”

That’s the prediction of Fred O’Connor of InfoWorld for the following 11 months. The IT sector has been a vibrant scene in the recent years, and with cloud technology becoming more and more prevalent, it is but logical to assume that more job openings in the niche will crop up.

While cloud computing has a lot of personal applications – iOS users alone will attest to its convenience – businesses are also quickly adopting its use. For people in the IT sector, it is important to pay attention to developments in cloud computing, especially if you are interested in snatching a related job.

But what exactly are the cloud tech job descriptions? It is a relatively new field, to be sure, and as with new things, there are a lot of details to be laid out. [Read more…] about Cloud Tech Job Descriptions for 2013

Amazon has had a long and interesting story since its incorporation by Jeff Bezos in 1994. We’ve heard a lot of anecdotes about the dynamic founder, but what would probably come to the mind of the average consumer when Amazon is mentioned are books. Lots of them.

That may very well change in the near future, or perhaps it has already change. In the latest announcement of Amazon about its earnings, the direction the online store is going looks pretty clear – and it’s looking good for them. [Read more…] about Amazon Sales Up By 22%, eBooks Taking the Rein
