Flygrip case secures your phone for one-handed usage

2012-01-27T09:19:00.000-08:00

So you’re walking with your iPhone in one hand, and a Starbucks latte in the other, and granted it is possible to use the iPhone in one hand, it could prove to be “fatal” since one hand tends to offer less support compared to two, and we all know that heart wrenching feeling when your brand new gadget slips out of your hand and onto the hard pavement.

Looking to solve that problem, Flygrip has revealed a new case (also dubbed the Flygrip) that will make one handed usage of your phone a less risky process.

If the picture above did not already give it away, the Flygrip is an attachment which you can either attach to your phone’s casing or to the phone itself directly. Based on our understanding, users will slot their fingers into the “grip” which we assume will be somewhat of a tight (and secure) fit, thus allowing the user to hold their phone with one hand without fear of it slipping off and onto the ground.

The Flygrip will come in small, medium and large sizes depending on how big are your fingers and currently retail for $29.95 each. It is an interesting concept but since we haven’t actually tried it for ourselves, we can’t really speak for its effectiveness just yet, but if you’re willing to give it a shot, head on over to Flygrip’s online store and pick one up for yourself or for more information.

Shot Glass USB album (video)

2012-01-27T09:02:00.000-08:00

With USB flash drives becoming the de facto floppy disk replacement of the late 20th century as well as early 21st century, it goes without saying that some artists have already decided to release their albums in the form of a USB flash drive in this digital age.

Fast-talking songwriter Ali Spagnola intends to hype up his The Power Hour Album, and decided to release the Shot Glass USB party pack that comprises five dozen short tunes and a couple of plastic cups. This musician who hails from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, actually spent a couple of years designing the product to expand on her audience participation by introducing “drinking game” gigs.

According to Spagnola, “I wanted to make The Power Hour an object that people would want to physically own so it would be more special than just files to download.” You are supposed to sling a lanyard around your neck, and take shots from the attached cups at the end of each tune. I am quite sure before most of us are through the album, we would have gotten drunk already, and Spagnola boasts that this is “the perfect gift for the binge drinker.” Liver, watch out!

North Korea threatens to punish mobile-phone users as 'war criminals'

2012-01-26T09:34:00.000-08:00

North Korea has warned that any of its citizens caught trying to defect to China or using mobile phones during the 100-day mourning period for Kim Jong-il will be branded as "war criminals" and punished accordingly.

There are reports from within the isolated state that food supplies are again dwindling and that there has been an increase in the number of people attempting to cross the border into China. Many of those that do manage to cross the frontier eventually manage to reach South Korea, where an estimated 23,000 defectors have now settled.

The Workers' Party has issued the stern warning in an effort to deter more from attempting the already perilous journey, apparently in an effort to ensure the stability of the new regime of Kim Jong-un, who took over from his father, according to Good Friends, a South Korean relief group.

People who are caught attempting to flee the poverty and political oppression in the North, as well as those detained in China and sent back over the border, usually end up in the North's network of hard labour camps, human rights groups have reported, while repeat offenders can expect to be executed.

Kim Jong-il died on December 17 after suffering a heart attack that North Korean media has reported was brought on by overwork. He was 69.

The regime has been weakened by years of economic mismanagement and stagnation and there are apparently fears in Pyongyang that the death of Kim could trigger public unrest.

2012-01-24T02:44:00.000-08:00

We are uses to democratic popcorn snack that anyone can afford. So it was as long as the Berco company has not created a billion-dollar popcorn.

Billion dollar popcorn is created from organic sugar, butter by Vermont Creamery company's, vanilla from Nielsen Massey, the most expensive in the world of the salt with the Danish island of Forest and decorated with flakes of 23ct edible gold.

In this superexpensive popcorn do not only these gold flakes, and salt that is produced in small quantities at the said island of Forest. In the Middle Ages it was a center of salt mining industry, but then salt extraction on the forest was prohibited because of the threat environment of the island.

In the 1980s, extraction of salt medieval methods resumed as an archaeological experiment and tourist attraction. Since this salt is now a scarce raw materials, and its price is increased by several times.

Despite its name, buy a Billion dollar popcorn popcorn a billion dollars is unlikely to succeed. According rates Berco, 1 quart, or about 1.1 liters of popcorn will cost you $ 100, a halon, or about 4 liters - $ 250, 2 gallon - $ 500. Portion of 6.5 gallons would cost a thousand dollars. Imagine how much popcorn you can buy a billion dollars - this is the level of wholesale purchases!

In addition to a billion dollars worth of popcorn, Berco offers more variety such as popcorn, caramel, organic butter or salt from the island of Forest (the latter type is intended to lead healthy lifestyles, as there is nothing but salt - no candy, no oil or even vanilla). You can also order a platter of the above and varieties of popcorn. Prices for these types of popcorn are much more modest than in the Billion dollar popcorn, - from $ 7 a quart and a little more than $ 100 for 6.5 gallons.

HTC Magnesium: Concept Smartphone with additional battery and wall charge

2012-01-23T10:45:00.000-08:00

Today, the autonomy of smartphones is their chief whip, not to mention how much time is required for charging. French designer Francois Rybarchik offers his version of the fight against this scourgeby creating the concept of Smartphone HTC Magnesium.

Behind the top of Smartphone has a special slot in which to insert an extra battery, designed to make the company the main battery in the name of increasing autonomy. But the interesting thing is the built-in battery nominated plug, allowing no podnadoevshie wires inserted into the socket on the charger.

By the way, the presence of magnesium in the name of the concept is not accidental - the case is made of magnesium (so far only in fantasy) and a back part is made of another material, presumably, soft-touch plastic.

Continuing the theme of charge, we can assume that the development rate of charge can be charged such a scenario: a smartphone connected to the battery, inserted into the outlet, wait 30 seconds and took the smartphone is fully charged. Not a bad scenario, is not it? Okay, batteries, rechargeable batteries, but that design of the rear part of the Frenchman has turned out good - fit to hire him as an example, an assistant chief designer of the company.
