<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How productive are you with the iPad? Do you use it primarily to check your emails and attend to whatever outstanding emails that need a reply, and does it double up as your go-to device for gaming whenever you are on the move? If that is the case, then surely you would not need a peripheral like The Executive from iWALK, which arrives in the form of an extremely slim portable Bluetooth keyboard, complete with a kick stand that will be able to transform your iPad into a mobile workstation – with the right apps loaded beforehand, of course. Well, the iPad is not the only device to receive this benefit from The Executive, as it will also play nice with smartphones and other tablets, although I would think that you would be more productive with a keyboard on a tablet rather than a smartphone – since the screen size itself does affect usability by a large margin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">iWALK’s announcement of the availability of The Executive shows that it was specially designed for the professional who want to remain productive on the go without having to add on any bulk. In fact, it measures a mere 0.5” thin, tips the scales at just 1.4lbs, and is capable of connecting seamlessly to any smartphone, tablet or Bluetooth-enabled device thanks to Bluetooth 3.0 technology.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not only that, The Executive will also integrate a cover that doubles as kick stand, allowing it to offer the relevant support for your device, delivering optimal and hands-free viewing. It will be powered by a high performance Li-Polymer battery which means you need not worry about the device leeching off the power from your tablet, and will require a mere 2 hours of charging via USB, and has been rated to last for up to 300 hours of consistent use or 45 days on standby. Those who are interested can check out The Executive for $69.99 a pop.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img src="http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/roccat-kave.jpg" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not all headphones are created equal, and gamers will definitely be one of the first few (audiophiles, too) to tell you that. After all, you will need to know where your enemies are at all times, and one of the ways of them giving their position away would be through audio cues – be they footsteps, the firing of a weapon, or perhaps making a jump. Hence, to make sure that you know what you are hearing is correct, then having a good pair of headphones is essential. Not only that, if you want to hear what orders your teammates are barking, this is where the headphones also come in handy. Well, if you are at a loss on what to purchase, perhaps you might want to check out the ROCCAT Kave XTD 5.1 Digital headphones to adorn the top of your head?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The ROCCAT Kave XTD 5.1 Digital headphones will continue from where the original ROCCAT Kave 5.1 left off, where it has been improved in many ways after receiving community and customer feedback. For starters, the Kave XTD 5.1 Digital will come with a fully-equipped desktop remote as well as a built-in premium 5.1 sound card. Apart from that, you will also find the ROCCAT Smart Link, which is a patented technology that allows users to pair their smartphone to the remote via Bluetooth, so that one can make as well as receive calls via the headset while gaming.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
On the rear side of the remote, you will find 5.1 speaker ports, so that you can opt to hook-up your current speaker system to remote, making it a snap to toggle between headset and speaker output. The remote itself will be completed by comprehensive headset and system audio controls. If you are interested in picking up the ROCCAT Kave XTD 5.1 Digital gaming headset, it will not be available right away, but you will be able to get it this coming November for $169.99 a pop.</div>

<img alt="Handy-Salt-meter" src="http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Handy-Salt-meter.jpg" /><br />
<br />
The older we get, the more we realize just how much we should be paying attention to the food that we put in our body. It starts out with watching how many calories we’re eating, then cholesterol, and eventually, you’ll even be looking at the sodium content of your meal. However, when you’re in a restaurant, you might not be able to get a straight answer about just how much salt is in your food. If you have a health condition that depends on you knowing this detail, you’ll need a little extra help finding this out.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
The Handy Salt Meter is probably the easiest thing you’ll find for measuring the salt content of a dish. You just stick it in your food, wait a few seconds, and an LED will light up to indicate the percentage of salt contained within. The results are even color-coded, so you can easily see just how dangerous the levels are.<br />
<br />
There are limitations to the device, unfortunately. This is only going to work on hot, liquid foods, due to how the sensor takes readings. So no poking your steak to see how salty the seasoning is, or anything like that. The Handy Salt Meter will set you back just under $20.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">Keeping your phone charged is a pretty important task. After all, these days our smartphones are practically our lifeline to the rest of the world. Most people can’t be without theirs for more than an hour, without worrying that they’re missing important messages, emails, or calls. So what do you do when you’re in a situation where the power is out, or you simply don’t have access to an outlet? Well, sometimes you have to make your own power.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">This BoostTurbine 4000 is a backup battery pack that does more than simply holds some juice for your phone. It incorporates a hand crank that will allow you to recharge the battery without needing to plug it into the wall. So how much power does the cranking get you? The company says that one minute of cranking will net you enough for a four-minute call, and a few texts, though it does depend on how much power your phone uses.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">This BoostTurbine 4000 has a large enough battery to charge most smartphones two times over. And if cranking it by hand isn’t necessary, you aren’t limited to that. You can still charge it up by plugging it into a USB port on your PC, or into a wall adapter. You can have one of your own for just $80.</span></span></div>

So, you might not be a very good scientist, and neither are you a genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, but at the very least, you have $29.99 in your pockets or bank account to pick up the Iron Man Arc Reactor Lab from Thinkgeek, right? Bring to life your aspiring desire to be the fictional Tony Stark (of course, one does wonder, would Tony Stark win a battle against Bruce Wayne?) with this <a href="http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/og.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thinkgeek.com%2Fproduct%2Ff43c&post=82748" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Iron Man Arc Reactor Lab</a>, where it has been described to be a science kit for little Tony Stark wannabes. Boasting of two dozen different combinations of chips, it even comes with a nightlight mode with a display stand – you know, to scare away monsters from under the bed or inside the closet.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
This will definitely bring the creativity level of your wee ones to the next level. After all, leaving them with a box of scraps will see them create something with enough time, all thanks to the wonders of their imagination despite their limited physical resources. This Arc Reactor is not going to power your home anytime soon, but rebuilding it in different ways would result in different light and power effects, how cool is that? Each Iron Man Arc Reactor Lab purchase would be accompanied by an educational poster that ties Iron Man to real world science, and a trio of AAA batteries are required to power this thing.</div>

<img src="http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/hi-recorder.jpg" /><br />
For the older generation out there, to leave a reminder for your family members or colleagues, you would more often than not rely on the standard Post-It note. The thing is, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Good thing us humans are an enterprising lot – and some of us out there love to reinvent the wheel (and actually succeed), which is why there is the existence of the £12.99 Hi! Magnetic Voice Recorder that will come in blue and red shades.<br />
<br />
With the Hi! Magnetic Voice Recorder, you will be able to use it to record your very own messages that would max out at 10 seconds in length (definitely better than a 6 second video, don’t you think so?), allowing you to be as helpful, remorseful or silly as you like. Made out of an extremely soft silicone rubber, when accompanied with a handy magnetic back, it should be able to stick to the home’s fridge for the rest of the family to know what kind of 10-second message you have in store for them for the day. All it takes is a single press of a button to record your message, and you’re good to go.<br />

Every geek, well at least this geek, has always wanted to be a spy. I have the complete collection of James Bond Movies and Bond always has some kind of super cool binoculars that can take images. Well now you can too with these “The Digital Camera Binoculars. ” These babies have a 8X zoom as well as being able to take pictures you can also take video with these things. How cool is that? I know I know your probably saying, but Will digital camera’s have more than an 8X zoom! Yes this is true but other digital cameras are not a pair of binoculars that can also take video! Here is the description from Hammacher Schlemmer.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<br />
<br />
These 8X magnification, 5 megapixel digital camera binoculars let you take long range snapshots and video. They have fully multi-coated, 30mm objective lenses and use a Bak-4 prism system for superior optical performance, yielding a 320' field of view at 1,000 yards. The eye relief allows them to be used while wearing glasses. Once you've taken a photo, it's easy to review pictures on the 1 1/2" color flip-up LCD. Its replay feature continuously records the last eight to 60 seconds of video, so you can review footage to capture a photograph of quick, precise events. The built-in 16 MB internal memory stores up to 15 pictures at 2560 x 1920 resolution or 20 seconds of continuous video at 640 x 480 resolution at 15 frames per second. An SD card provides for added storage (card not included). Photos and video can be downloaded to your PC via an included USB cable. Requires two AAA batteries. 5 3/4" H x 5" W x 3 1/4" L.

<img alt="Packable backpack" src="http://www.wanderplex.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/keychaindaypack.jpg?9e0c7f" /><br />
So you’ve overestimated how many souvenirs you can cram into your suitcase and you need an extra bag to bring all your goodies back home? Or perhaps you’re going on a hike and need a little backpack to toss your drinks and snacks into? A packable daypack is the perfect solution for those times when you think you might need an extra bag, but just aren’t sure.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Like those times when you’re walking around town and stumble across a great sale where they’re practically giving away the merchandise, or when you spontaneously throw together a picnic made up of fresh bits and bobs from the farmers’ market. It sure is nice to have a bag to put all that stuff into.<br />
Well if you’ve been sage enough to foresee the unforeseeable, you’ll have popped a packable daypack – like the Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Daypack – into your pocket (yes, pocket). Small enough to attach to your keychain when rolled up, the bag expands into a 20 liter, zip-up backpack when unfurled – big enough to hold all your day-about-the-town necessities. It’s the kind of modern-day magic sure to leave you feeling a little like Mary Poppins.</div>

<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
You knew that those devices were coming: the Galaxy S4 <a class="zem_slink" href="http://google.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Google">Google</a> Play Edition (<a class="zem_slink" href="http://gpe.linuxtogo.org/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="GPE">GPE</a>) was announced at Google I/O and the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.htc.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="HTC">HTC</a> One Google Play Edition followed shortly after that. There are even unconfirmed rumors of an <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.sonymobile.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Xperia">XPERIA</a> Z Google Edition (loaded with the stock <a class="zem_slink" href="http://code.google.com/android/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Android">Android OS</a>, without modifications), but so far only two have finally landed in our offices: The S4 and the HTC One. You may wonder why Google does sell those devices, and the reason is quite simple: Google wants the general public to be able to experience Android as it was originally developed, on the best possible hardware. In this review, we will focus on the Android aspect, and if you are not yet familiar with the industrial design, performance and other critical aspects of those phones, I recommend reading our in-depth Galaxy S4 Review and HTC One Review articles since they will provide a lot of details.<br />

<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: x-large;" style="font-size: large;">Why not hack a carrier device and flash it with a “stock” firmware?:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<img alt="Samsung Galaxy S4 vs. HTC One Google Edition" data-mce-src="http://cdn2.ubergizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/s4-htc-one-google-play-edition-02-640x360.jpg" src="http://cdn2.ubergizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/s4-htc-one-google-play-edition-02-640x360.jpg" style="border: 0px; cursor: default;" /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
This is a distinct possibility, and if you were to do that, you could benefit from a carrier subsidy on the device and still get a stock Android experience, so what’s wrong with it? First of all, most people are not comfortable with the idea, nor have the desire, to flash their phones and official carrier updates become an inconvenience after that. Secondly, the default bootloader (the code executed just before the OS starts loading) is locked by default. Although some hacks do exist for the AT&T version of the Galaxy S4 for example, it has not been made public because the hackers fear that Verizon could block the hack if it was revealed too early. With a Google Play device, you get all the benefits of a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.google.com/nexus" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Google Nexus">pure Android</a> device, and none of the hassle mentioned above – that is, if you are willing to forget about the subsidy. Tough choice.: </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: x-large;" style="font-size: large;">Why want the Google Play Edition experience?:</span> </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
There are very good reasons to want a “pure” Android experience: first, the overall OS is not bloated with carrier apps, it is free of customizations and if you have been using a stock Android device before, everything looks familiar right away as there is no design changes for the sake of “being different”. Secondly, the OS user interface tends to be a bit more responsive depending on the specific customizations from handset makers. For example, I find the virtual keyboard on the S4 GPE to be more responsive than <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.samsung.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Samsung">Samsung</a>’s stock keyboard. Finally, you get the latest OS features (like the PhotoSphere 360-degree panorama photos) and faster firmware updates. It takes additional time for handset makers to integrate Google’s code changes to their own, and sometime this can be a difficult process if Google has made some deep changes. Additionally, handset makers may require approval from wireless carriers before the updated firmware is pushed to end-users devices. This is a step that Google may be able to bypass since their phones are not sold through a carrier.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: x-large;" style="font-size: large;">So there are no downsides?: </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
It depends. Although I tend to think that handset makers often overdo customizations (why change the icons?), they also add features that stock Android often didn’t support like multi-window, floating window, dual-camera, screen hover, pen etc… Samsung has recently been quite prolific when it comes to adding new features, and you may lose many of those by switching to a Google firmware. Other features like WatchOn (a TV Guide/Remote) are “apps”, so they can be downloaded from the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://https//play.google.com" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Google Play">Google Play store</a>. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<img alt="Samsung Galaxy S4 vs. HTC One Google Edition" data-mce-src="http://cdn2.ubergizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/s4-htc-one-google-play-edition-05-640x360.jpg" src="http://cdn2.ubergizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/s4-htc-one-google-play-edition-05-640x360.jpg" style="border: 0px; cursor: default;" />This is definitely not the Samsung’s camera app. It’s much simpler In theory, the camera app is potentially the biggest change that users may experience. Most people think that the sensor is doing all the work, but there is quite a lot of processing going on when taking pictures, and a different camera app could yield very different image quality because the app is responsible for the automatic ISO, focus, shutter speed and white balance settings. Any of these can greatly affect image quality for the better or worse. Fortunately, we have seen no particular difference between the regular phones and the Google Play Edition for both the S4 and the HTC one (tested in low-light).</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
Note that the Galaxy S4 display color saturation cannot be tweaked to look more “natural” (or less saturated) on the Google Play Edition. This does not bother me, but there is clearly a portion of the user population who like their images to look less saturated. "THE NEXUS 4 MAY REMAIN THE FIRST PHONE TO GET OS <a class="zem_slink" href="http://developer.yahoo.com/social/updates/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Updates">UPDATES</a>" Finally, the Nexus 4 may remain the first phone to get OS updates. The reason is simple: Samsung and HTC actually integrate and maintain the firmware for those smartphones. As a result, they will need a bit of time to add the new changes. I expect the OS updates to come fairly quickly because most the changes are at the driver level, so most new OS features won’t require big changes there. Still, I’m not sure if that would be days or weeks of additional wait time.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: x-large;" style="font-size: large;">Key HTC and Samsung customization remain</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
Obviously, Google is well aware of the possible downsides listed above and that’s why it has worked with both Samsung and HTC to make sure that some key customizations have been left intact so that users can benefit from the most important hardware features. This probably explains why the imaging performance is identical. The HTC One gets to keep its HTC BoomSound and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.beatsbydre.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Beats Electronics">Beats Audio</a> quality, which is one of the distinct advantage of its design. The camera app is also tapping into the HTC Ultrapixel Camera technology according to Google. If you are not familiar with it, HTC Ultrapixel uses large sensor pixels, which means that each of them can gather more light. However, to achieve larger pixels, HTC had to reduce the resolution of the sensor<img alt="Samsung Galaxy S4 vs. HTC One Google Edition" data-mce-src="http://cdn2.ubergizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/s4-htc-one-google-play-edition-06-640x360.jpg" src="http://cdn2.ubergizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/s4-htc-one-google-play-edition-06-640x360.jpg" style="border: 0px; cursor: default;" /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
The theoretical trade off here is “light” versus “details”. When we reviewed both phones, we noticed they were very good mostly all the time, but the HTC One had the advantage of having a larger field of view, shooting a bit faster and behaving a bit better in low-light, while the Galaxy S4 could produce photo with higher details.<img alt="Samsung Galaxy S4 vs. HTC One Google Edition" data-mce-src="http://cdn2.ubergizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/s4-htc-one-google-play-edition-07-640x360.jpg" src="http://cdn2.ubergizmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/s4-htc-one-google-play-edition-07-640x360.jpg" style="border: 0px; cursor: default;" /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
We really liked the HTC One camera app, but in this Google Play version, both phones essentially use the stock Android camera user interface, which is better for point and shoot, and offers a very fast review and delete options. However for more complex photography, the HTC one camera app is better.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: x-large;" style="font-size: large;">The Nexus 4 remains a great choice for tight budgets:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
The Nexus 4 was originally designed to cost about half the price of the Galaxy S4 or the HTC One, so it is clear that a comparison based on “specs” would put it at a strong disadvantage. It uses a last-gen processor (Snapdragon S4 Pro) and doesn’t have a micro-SD slot, or a camera that can compete with these two more recent phones. However, if you don’t have much need for content this is ultimately one of the best Android smartphone for the price.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<span data-mce-style="font-size: x-large;" style="font-size: large;">Conclusion</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
Whether you should go for a Goole Play Edition of the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 should be mainly driven by your own usage. First, ask yourself if there are key customizations that you absolutely want/need from the original devices. If the answer is no, and if you are willing to spend around $649, then you should be able to enjoy the latest Android updates and a leaner OS without any fluff from the carrier or handset maker. Also, if you want to flash another firmware, the bootloader is unlocked. I personally don’t care about the ability to flash my smartphone, but I have to say that the lack of “bloatware” and the faster response from the UI would be my main motivation. What would be yours?</div>

Google says that both devices will ship of July 9th and can be ordered from the <a data-mce-href="https://play.google.com/store/devices" href="https://play.google.com/store/devices" target="_blank">Google Play Store.</a></div>

<img alt="Concept: Tree Planting Robot Keeps Our Earth Green" src="http://cdn.ubergizmo.com/photos/2010/8/treeplantingrobot01.jpg" /><br />
If watching movies such as The Matrix or Terminator has taught anything, it’s probably that robots might not be too interested in protecting the environment (and humankind), but the Tree Planting Robot concept design is quite the opposite, as it’s designed to help with reforestation projects. This robot is capable of carrying 320 seedlings at one go, and each seed is planted with a biodegradable plastic protective barrier, protecting it from bugs until it’s old enough to fend for itself. It’s capable of treading lightly in order to not have a negative impact on the plants and animals that it’ll have to pass by in order to get the job done. When needed, it can use hot steam to destroy competing vegetation, such as choking vines that can affect other plants. The robot is also capable of planting in patterns, so a virtual forest can be planned beforehand and programmed for the robot to carry out.</div>

<img src="http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/7/2/4/72724.jpg?v=2" />At some point in the last six months, you've sat in a theater watching a terrible movie that took $200 million to make and said to yourself, "Why the hell did they ever think this would be good?"</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The reason is that lots of bad movies looked like good movies in the early stages. It takes a whole bunch of people to make a movie, and often the finished product is only as good as its shittiest element. That messy process is how we wound up with ...</div>

We say "unforgivable" because the second X-Men movie was widely regarded as one of the greatest superhero flicks of all time, if just for one scene.</div>

Everyone's favorite characters from the first two films were either killed off, depowered, reduced to cheap gags or, in Nightcrawler's case, completely left out.</div>

If you followed the debacle that was the third X-Men movie, you probably blame Twentieth Century Fox or the departure of director Bryan Singer. But the truth is that all the film's problems can be traced to one equally bad movie that steered both franchises into a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXdViWVgHq4" style="border: 0px; color: #0657af; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="c">kryptonite iceberg</a> faster than a speeding bullet.</div>

The studio asked the up-and-coming screenwriter <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joss_Whedon" style="border: 0px; color: #0657af; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="c">Joss Whedon</a> to resurrect the franchise from the dreary and slow third film. Whedon's then-credits included <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Buffy the Vampire Slayer</span> and <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Speed</span>, and he would shortly thereafter get nominated for an Academy Award for <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Toy Story</span>.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
However, the decision to kill Ripley off in <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Alien 3</span> and the prospects for a short-lived <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Alien vs. Predator</span> franchise severely tied Whedon's hands for the project, particularly when it came to all things Ripley. The studio suggested that they just clone her back in. Whedon did what they said, at which point it was suggested that he add some more clones.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
First of all, let's go back one movie in the series. Check out the original, hilariously misleading teaser trailer for <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Alien 3</span>.</div>
<div align="center" style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Yep, it promised that the aliens would be showing up on Earth. A few dozen drafts of the screenplay later, it wound up taking place on a remote asteroid prison with a lonely, dog-shaped alien.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So Whedon's original draft of the next film (which <a href="http://www.simplyscripts.com/genre/fantasy-scripts.html" style="border: 0px; color: #0657af; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="c">you can find on the Internet</a>) included the climax that so many of us anticipated for the <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Alien</span> series: an "epic final battle on Earth, for Earth."</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Leading up to that was a huge soldiers vs. aliens battle on board a massive ship that is slowly crashing toward Earth. Then a new, much more terrifying alien is born and starts wreaking havoc ... and no, it's not the weird-ass human/alien hybrid thing that made it into the film.</div>
<div align="center" style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img height="209" src="http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/7/2/5/72725.jpg?v=1" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="320" /><br />Which promptly started tonguing Ripley.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Here's how Whedon described it in the screenplay:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">"An alien, to be sure, but nothing we've seen so far, its forelegs arch out of its back like spiders legs, its back legs set on enormous haunches, thick and powerful. Its head is long, eyeless, like the others, but along its white expanse red veins, coming out of the skin and running like thick black hairs to the back. It has retracted pincers at the side of head that come out when its tongue does. It's much bigger than the others, nearly the size of the queen herself.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">And it's bone white."</span></div>
<div align="center" style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img height="200" src="http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/7/2/6/72726_v1.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="320" /><br />So pretty much not that.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Then we see it in action:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">"It LEAPS up to the ceiling in a second, quick and effortless as a monstrous flea. [It] leaps again and lands on the screaming soldier ... pincers SWING out and pin either side of his head. His eyes go wide as:</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Its tongue SHOOTS into his throat. We watch it drain the blood from his body. We can see it, see its stomach swell, red tinged, as his body goes blue and slack."</span></div>
<div align="center" style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img height="208" src="http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/article/7/2/7/72727_v1.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="320" /><br />"OK, that all sounds good, but we're going to just give you this instead."</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So then the ship crashes on Earth, and Ripley and Call (Winona Ryder's character) are forced to do battle with this horrific new alien before it can go on a rampage through Earth's population.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: proximanNovaRegular; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As you know if you've seen the movie, virtually all of this was cut, for budget reasons.

Originally, the movie was supposed to be directed by Richard Donner, who incidentally directed three episodes of the original TV series. A pre-meltdown Mel Gibson was slated to star, and their version of the film was written by Shane Black, whose credits at the time included the often brutally violent first two <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Lethal Weapon</span> movies and <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Last Boy Scout</span>. In short, <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Wild Wild West</span> was damn near a clever, witty, bloody action comedy set in the Old West. But at some point Donner and Gibson left the project to make a different movie with a different writer -- <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Maverick</span>.</div>

For any sci-fi or fantasy film, it's one thing to make the clothing and equipment look authentic onscreen, and another to add layers of detail that are physically impossible to notice, even if each frame of the movie is examined with a magnifying glass. For instance, in <span data-mce-style="border: 0; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0; padding: 0; vertical-align: baseline;" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers</span>, when you watched the massive Battle of Helm's Deep and the tens of thousands of bad guys storming the fortress, did you notice the handcrafted chain mail they were wearing?</div>

Pause in an Orc battle scene and notice the varieties of helmets, some representing a family's standing within the Orcan culture, others illustrating that Orcs were scavengers who gathered armor and weapons that were dropped on battlefields.

The keyboard looks good enough to type and has big wide keys. There are special keys for Home and Search so you don’t have to extend your fingers weirdly to reach the HOme button on you iPhone. The keyboard even has a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caps_lock" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Caps lock">CAPS</a> and a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_key" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Shift key">Shift key</a> but the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_bar" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Space bar">Space bar</a> (key?) is surprisingly small.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
The cons? It makes your sleek, svelte iPhone gain lots of weight. It also becomes almost twice as thick and actually looks like a fat Blackberry. Maybe Boxwave is trying a bit too much to appeal to Blackberry switchers. Oh also since the case is Bluetooth based, it needs to be charged. It comes with a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Universal Serial Bus">USB</a> charging cable and Boxwave claims a 45 day battery life and provides the option to turn the keyboard off when you are not using it. But still, charging a case? It’s just too much hassle. And the iPhone keyboard is pretty good if you give it some time. Ask any <a class="zem_slink" href="http://code.google.com/android/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Android">Android</a> user and they’ll confirm.</div>

<div>
And I love it too! The USB Watch is a simple way of carrying your memory stick in style. A 10-minute romp with the computer charges it enough to tell you the correct time for a week. What’s more, every time you hook it up it syncs in automatically with the computer’s time. The LED display shows you the current memory status at the touch of a button. I think it’s a clever integration of functionality and utility.</div>

On the contrary, many, including me, find the usual repetitive tasks to be boring and stressful. Just exactly the kind where you are longing to go somewhere else to escape from the drudgery, only to find that the five o’clock off is almost light years away.<br />Well, there are many ways to fight office boredom. You can clean up your desk and keep things organized as possible. If you want games on the other hand, you can play tetris or some boring game to fight boredom with boredom. This however has never been taken seriously by most office employees. I have however tried it once as per suggestion of my buddy, and found that it was surprisingly cool.<br />By the way, one of the proven ways so far in breaking office monotony is the introduction of some nerdy items to the workplace, and that is what we will be sharing with you here. In this article, you will find not only cool office gadgets but useful tools that you can enjoy in your workplace as well.

The first few sips from a cold can of drink are mighty fine, sadly it all goes downhill after that, as it warms up so darn fast (unsurprisingly considering what they are made of). So that by the time you consume half of your drink, it’s already as warm as a toast. Solution, the Wiki USB Fridge. Just plug this little wonder into a USB port and in a matter of seconds, the cold plate will chill to the perfect temperature, pop in your can and rest easy knowing that every sip will be as chilled as the last. It comes with a long cable, so you can use one away from your machine. It also requires no software or indeed brain to operate. It’s pure plug and sip.<br /><a href="http://creativecan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/image909.jpg" style="-webkit-transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s; color: #16a1e7; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none; transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;"><img alt="Drinn Phone Holder" border="0" height="354" src="http://creativecan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/image_thumb879.jpg" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" title="image" width="552" /></a>While our mobile phones are charging, they lay on the floor, kitchen counter or somewhere that is not handy.

You go to make your morning coffee, and your beloved mug is not where it should be. The following week you go to the kitchen and your mug is lying abandoned in the sink with green tea stains all over it – and you don’t drink green tea!<br />Before you know it, your mug has been round the office more times that the mail trolley, and has become home to more varieties of beverage stains and lipstick marks than is proper for a decent mug.<br />That’s the problem, so how do you fix it? Cellotape the mug to your arm? Superglue the mug to your desk? Quit work start campaigning for awareness relating to mug theft and misuse? These are all worthy ideas, but we appreciate that you don’t have that kind of time on your hands (nor want mugs stuck to your hands!).<br />So enter the Plug Mug. A mug, with a hole in it, which renders it completely useless to mug thieves. Just keep the plug safely stowed away from harm (on your key ring or in a vault) and you will find that no-one is interested in stealing your mug anymore.<br /><a href="http://creativecan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/image924.jpg" style="-webkit-transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s; color: #16a1e7; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none; transition: background-color 0.2s ease 0s, border 0.2s ease 0s, color 0.2s ease 0s, opacity 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;"><img alt="USB Brain Massager - The Head Spa" border="0" height="402" src="http://creativecan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/image_thumb895.jpg" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" title="image" width="402" /></a>This plug-and-play brain massager gently yet effectively relieves tension in your head by stimulating the thousands of nerve endings located on your scalp.

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: black;">If you've been dying to get your hands on <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Glass" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Project Glass">Google Glass</a>, especially since your buddy won't shut up about his, you just might have a shot at one of your own. <a class="zem_slink" href="http://google.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Google">Google</a> has announced (to those who already have Glass) a new <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invitation_system" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Invitation system">invite</a> a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Friendship">friend</a> option into their Glass Explorer Program. Mind you, that's just for an invitation to buy the beta product, which still costs $1,500.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">
<span style="color: black;">The catch is that it's an "invite a friend" not an "invite everyone you know on <a class="zem_slink" href="http://facebook.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Facebook">Facebook</a>" program. Just one person will get that golden ticket from each Glass-wearing friend. And it just wouldn't be sporting if there weren't other caveats to boot. If you do get that invite, you'll also have to get your butt to either <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.7833333333,-122.416666667&spn=0.1,0.1&q=37.7833333333,-122.416666667%20(San%20Francisco)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="San Francisco">San Francisco</a>, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=34.05,-118.25&spn=0.1,0.1&q=34.05,-118.25%20(Los%20Angeles)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a> or <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=43.0,-75.0&spn=3.0,3.0&q=43.0,-75.0%20(New%20York)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="New York">New York</a> so that Google can personally hand you your new toy. You also need to be at least 18 and a US resident.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">
If this all still sounds like you, get out there and start schmoozing it up with that friend of yours. A few drinks on your tab just might mean a chance to purchase a shiny new Google Glass in your future.</div>

<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">
Owners of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Glass" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Project Glass">Google Glass</a> like to talk about how amazing the mini display is, and how responsive the voice command is, even in noisy areas. But beyond these <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wearable_computer" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Wearable computer">wearable computer</a> innovations there remains the issue of practicality in terms of everyday usage. According to many Glass owners, the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_%28electricity%29" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Battery (electricity)">battery life</a> of the device is limited, allowing for only short bursts of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Video">video recording</a> before the device needs a full recharge. One <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Invention">inventor</a> has come up with what could be the perfect solution to the device's <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_energy_consumption" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Electric energy consumption">power consumption</a> issues.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">
Designed by inventor Kevin Alan Tussy, PWRGlass is an external <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_pack" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Battery pack">battery pack</a> being promoted as an add-on to Glass that would triple its battery life. And while he is only showing off a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_rendering" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="3D rendering">3D rendering</a> at this point, Tussy claims that the device will pack a 2,000mAh lithium batterie and have the ability to allow a user to charge both the add-on and Glass simultaneously via one <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Universal Serial Bus">USB cable</a>.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">
Explaining the inspiration behind the product, Tussy said:</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">
"There are so many great apps for Glass in the works, people are going to want to use it all the time. But you can't use it all the time because of battery life. I saw the need and solution as soon as the internal Glass battery died on me. I got to work and had the design for a battery-packed retainer strap in my <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent_attorney" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Patent attorney">patent attorney</a>'s hands that same night."</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">
The inventor is also exploring another version of the device that would add more storage capacity to Glass (currently limited to only 12GB of internal storage). No price or launch date has been announced, so at this point we can only view this as a concept device, but if it becomes a reality it would almost certainly be popular among Glass users looking for a little more juice to power their life-streaming</div>
