Get Your Own Copy of RAGE for PS3 for FREE!

October 28, 2011 by noemi

Who doesn’t like receiving free stuff? While there is absolutely nothing wrong about working your butt off in order to be able to afford things that you want, there is also nothing wrong with getting something free. And that’s how we are going to end the week – by letting you in on a not-so-secret way to get your hands on a free copy of RAGE for the PlayStation 3.

If you regularly spend part of your disposable income on video games, skip this part. You already know what RAGE is. For those who may not know much about the game, though, RAGE is arguably the hottest video game this holiday season. That should be enough to make you want to have a copy, shouldn’t it?

Over at ForeverGeek, a sister site of ours, we are giving away a copy of RAGE to one fortunate person. Luck may not be the in thing for Halloween, but it is very easy to join. To get a chance to win a free copy of RAGE, check out the announcement at ForeverGeek. What are you waiting for?

Nokia Bendy Screen — Nokia Kinetic Device

This is the stuff that tech heads have been dreaming of for ages: a screen that bends and is functional. Well, there are many things that tech enthusiasts have been dreaming of, but screens that are flexible is definitely at the top of the list. Can you imagine all the possible applications of such a screen?

In any case, this is now reality. Not just the one of those things that we see in movies that make us go, “WANT”!

Nokia has just made a rather strong statement at the Nokia World event in London, where the company showed off a working prototype of the Nokia Kinetic Device. Take note: it is a working prototype! [Read more…] about Nokia Kinetic Device: The Screen That Really Bends

Incredible, Unique Jack O’ Lanterns

October 27, 2011 by Brittany High

I can’t express how bad I am at carving pumpkins. I still struggle to cut triangle eyes, I never seem get those right. I blame my underdeveloped motor skills and my mom for dropping me when I was a child. When I see amazing intricately designed pumpkins, I am overcome with jealous rage. I see red and my mind goes blank. When I finally come-to the room is in shambles, my neighbors have made the 911 call and the police are already kicking down the door. Even if you do end up punching a hole through your monitor (which is NOT going to make you any better at carving pumpkins so I’ve learned), these Incredible Unique Jack O’ Lanterns are definitely worth a look.

Prosthetic Arm Custom Phone Dock

October 26, 2011 by noemi

Have you ever had the problem of having to balance your mobile phone when you had too many things in your hand? With all the gadgets lug around these days, I suppose that that isn’t such an uncommon situation. I cannot even count the number of times that I’ve had to juggle stuff when my phone rings and I am out in the mall or somewhere else. During those times, don’t you just wish that you had a way to hold your phone easily?

That’s exactly what Trevor Prideaux wanted, and he got it, too. The British guy’s situation is rather different and unique, though. He was born without his left arm and has had to live his life in this condition. He did, however, get a prosthetic arm. As can be expected, he has been having problems holding his mobile phone and using it. His solution? Have a dock built into his prosthetic arm! [Read more…] about Prosthetic Arm Custom Phone Dock

Stuff Siri Says: Sometimes Odd, Sometimes Funny, Sometimes Dead On

October 25, 2011 by DailyBits

A lot of people were initially disappointed when Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S instead of the iPhone 5 last October 4. Personally, I think all that disappointment could have been avoided if people reigned in the rumor talks prior to the launch. There were literally dozens of new rumors being spread all over the web each day as October 4 drew closer–and while Apple could’ve issued a little press release to cut down the chatter just a little bit, they didn’t, in true Apple fashion. (But if you think about it, more rumors probably would’ve surfaced had they said something, so maybe it was a no-win situation then.)
