Yeah You Did: Another Day, Another Bat-Symbol Mustache

Fast payday loans For Every One

This is Redditor chrismusaf’s friend’s Bat-symbol mustache. It’s not the first Bat-symbol mustache we’ve seen, but it IS the cleanest cut. Clearly this Batman wannabe knows his way around a razor. Around his apartment in the dark? Not so much (his toes look like little bloody sausages).

Thanks to ChaosLex, who loves chaos so much he once posed as a barber then shaved penises into the back of ever customer’s head.

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11 review: a netbook by another name

A few years ago, netbooks were small, light, inexpensive, often underpowered computers — and the word quickly became a pejorative term, to be used only with the greatest of disdain as you throw your netbook out the window. Then came ultrabooks — small, light, inexpensive, often underpowered computers that have taken the PC market by storm. The more things change, the more they stay the same. So while Lenovo may call its new IdeaPad Yoga 11 an ultrabook, make no mistake: it’s a netbook. This is a bag-sized, two-pound, $ 599 laptop that runs low-end software on low-end hardware. It does have a handy touchscreen, plus an ultrapliable hinge that turns the laptop into a tablet and a bunch of other things besides, but it’s a netbook.

Another Day, Another Washer Tearing Itself To Pieces

|

Author: Angela Chin

This is a video of Redditor Aussie50 tossing some piece of heavy machinery into a front-load washer and watching it shake itself to pieces on the spin cycle. It will never top the anthropomorphic dryer eating a brick video, although this one is pretty action-packed. It’s a shame though because it seemed like a fine washer. I would kill to have my own washer and dryer in my apartment, but instead I have to use the pubey community ones in the basement. Destroying perfectly fine washing machines while some people don’t even have one — I’ve never felt more like a starving kid in Africa. Unless that’s insensitive, in which case I feel like something else. Maybe an airplane.

Hit the jump for the destruction in progress.

A higher June rollout target has actually also been set– switch-flipping is prepared in 30 additional towns and cities prior to the end of that (hopefully) summer season month. EE is definitely rushing to get as much protection as feasible, along with your business, prior to any of the other players get a possibility to join the 4G club. Oh, and if it’s glossy brand-new phones you’re after, bear in mind Galaxy S 4 pre-orders are live on EE’s website today.

Google’s Play Store Android App May Quickly Get Another Facelift

|

Author: Stefanie Jenkins

Google ’ s been awfully hectic these previous few weeks, however it appears that in between sunsetting Reader (and pissing off many of the net at the same time) and presenting new services like Google Keep, the business has been dealing with a revamped version of the Google Play Store for Android. That ’ s what the people at Droid-Life claim, anyhow — they appear to have obtained and installed the unreleased 4.0 version of the Google Play Android app ahead of a wider release.

The Play Store ’ s current mobile design initially presented in July 2012, and while Google has actually chosen to rebrand and dabble with a couple of things since then, even more than a few bits look basically the same as they did before. If this is the genuine bargain (and I strongly presume that it is), then Google Play will get rather a facelift. Gone are the dismal blacks and dark grays that made use of to permeate the app — this brand-new version returns to a lighter color design that ’ s highly evocative the old Android Market days. On the whole, the new app likewise looks much cleaner and even more large than the Play Store a lot of of us have actually gotten used to.

It ’ s not hard to see some resemblances in between the upgraded Play Shop app and the Google Now ’ s design — there ’ s a more pronounced focus on bigger images and italicized text. What ’ s more, specific app listings are separated into little cards instead of being shown in a more standard email list, yet an additional sign that Google ’ s Play Shop developers are cribbing UI flourishes from Google Now. If anything, the unification of design in between these two services makes me ask yourself simply how far Google prepares to go here. After all, Google Now and the Play Store are cornerstones of the Android experience — it wouldn ’ t be big shock to see the next variation of Android take a similar method to visual appeals.

At this point there ’ s no company word on when (or if) this upgrade is slated to go live, but it ’ s very feasible that Google can wait until I/O to formally pull back the curtain on a revamped Play Shop app. In the meantime, significant mobile players like Facebook are exploring means to bypass the Play Store totally and push new updates to users, so right here ’ s hoping Google pushes the upgrade out prior to others follow suit.

Samsung’s Android phones affected by another lockscreen bypass, fix is in the works

|

Author: Matthew Baker

Since lockscreen bypass methods are apparently what’s hot in the streets, it’s no surprise that yet another one has surfaced, this time targeting Samsung’s Android phones. A variant of another, earlier uncovered method, this one does not fully unlock the phone by itself, but does provide access to apps and settings for a brief period. Given that, as demonstrated in the video by Terrence Eden, it’s possible to use Google Play to download an app to disable the locked screen and fully access the phone.

According to Terrence, this problem is confirmed on the Galaxy Note II, possibly the Galaxy S III and potentially on other TouchWiz UI Samsung Android phones. Disabling screen animations under developer options should reduce the vulnerability, but doesn’t eliminate it without switching to another ROM. He also mentions Samsung is aware of the issue and is working on a fix, but that leaves phones accessible right now. We’ve certainly seen enough of these recently (Apple’s latest version of iOS has also been victimized again in the last day) to know leaving our phones out, locked or unlocked, is foolish. At the same time, if a manufacturer insists on adding customized software to the existing platform, it could at least have the courtesy to do so without causing security leaks.

Galaxy S IV dam springs another leak with floating touch and SmartPause videos

|

Author: Jesus Sargent

Samsung’s been laying on the marketing glitz for the upcoming Galaxy S IV ahead its Samsung Unpacked 2013 occasion later today, maybe since there’ll be few surprises at the real program thanks to all the leaks. A pair of videos have just been outed allegedly showing two brand-new TouchWiz attributes from the approaching phone: SmartPause and floating touch. The latter will display larger image thumbnails or a details box for contacts when you hover your finger over either, while SmartPause stops video from playing when you look away from it– an eye-detection feature that had been rumored previously but never scoped in action. You can see them for yourselves after the break, however much better reject your speakers first: the videos are a little bit noisy.

Scandalous!: Woman Calls Things Off With Fiance After Spotting Him On Google Maps With Another Woman

|

Author: Ian Simpson

Note: It wasn’t actually Google Maps, it’s the Russian equivalent called Yandex Maps. I just said Google Maps in the title because because if I’d said Yandex you’d be all, ‘Dammit, the GW’s been drinking again’ (which I have but I’m trying to play it off).

A woman in Russia recently called things off with her fiance after stumbling across a shot of him holding hands with another woman while looking up an address on Yandex Maps. Or was she purposefully looking for him? DUM DUM DUM!

Marina Voinova told LifeNews.ru that she was looking up an address using the website’s “street view” feature when she happened across a man who looked like Alexander, her boyfriend of five years, with his arms around a woman who did not look like her.

“When Sasha came home, I immediately called him to computer and asked him to find that address in the map,” she told the news portal. “When the image loaded, Sasha’s face changed in color. I looked in his eyes, waiting for explanations.”

Alexander immediately confessed to everything, Marina recalled. He told her he had made a mistake and did not love the other woman, but Marina had already made up her mind to end their relationship.

I’m surprised dude didn’t even try to lie. Oh, her? That’s my sister. “But I thought you didn’t have a sister.” Crazy right? Turns out she was long-lost. She just contacted me and we got together for lunch. Are you buying any of this this? Listen — please don’t destroy my stereo system, I paid a ton of rubles for that.

Hit the jump for a local news report but make sure to have the captions on unless you’re Russian or can speak Russian or just don’t care what anybody is saying.

Dell buyout challenged by another major investor and potential bids from Lenovo and HP

|

Author: Brittany Turner

Dell__1_of_1__large

Dell’s buyout deal is reportedly facing more opposition from shareholders, and competing offers could be in the works. Sources have told Bloomberg that fellow computer makers HP and Lenovo have expressed interest in buying the company at a higher price, as has Blackstone Group. The sources say HP and Lenovo are unlikely to actually pursue a bid, but their consideration will complicate Michael Dell’s plan to take the beleaguered company private for $ 24.4 billion provided by himself, equity firms, and a Microsoft loan.

Meanwhile, prominent investor Carl Icahn — recently known for his heavy investment in Netflix — seems to have his own plans in the works. CNBC sources reported yesterday that Icahn has collected a roughly 6 percent…

Meet Buddy, Another Ambitious, Crowdfunded Smart Watch

|

Author: Laura Clark

Sanctuary ’ t all of us suffered enough abuse at the hands of Big Smart Watch? No? Well now there ’ s Buddy, a Bluetooth smartwatch that intends to resolve the issues connected with all those various other watches. Buddy is focused on social networking and notifications so it will ping you when your Facebook or Twitter feed is updated as well as send the common call/text/calendar notices you anticipate from a smart watch.

The ambitious watch is the item of Vea Digital, a smartwatch business most effectively understood for their Sportive work-out watch. The business ’ s new project, nevertheless, is wildly ambitious. It has a capacitive color touchscreen, works with iOS and Android, and contains 8GB of memory in a package 8mm thick. It ’ s a substantial watch, to be sure, and the renders/prototype designs reveal an unique and vibrant icon-based UI that might work much better than the confined black and white design of other devices.

What can it do?

Tv program notices displayed on your smartphone.
Enable you to control your smartphone (initiate calls, control songs …)
Get and show data from your smartphone (turn by turn navigation …)
Display smartphone material (images …)Your smartphone and the VEA FRIEND get in touch with Bluetooth …

The makers claim a battery life of “ 10 days or 2 weeks standby ” which appears like crazy talk. They ’ re asking for $ 320,000 to develop the first run and have actually raised $ 42,000 up until now. A black watch can be had for a pledge of $ 150 and they will be delivered in August 2013.

I ’ ll think it when I see it, but if you ’ re wanting to participate the very beginning of an acceptably cool-looking smart watch, Buddy may be the method to go.
