Smile, Bro!: Kid Wins Spelling Bee, Zero F***s Are Given

| Author:

spelling-bee-winner-excitement.gif

This is an animated gif of an extremely elated Arvind Mahankali moments after winning the 86th Scripps National Spelling Bee by successfully spelling ‘knaidel’, a Yiddish form of unleavened dough dumpling. Afterwards, the 13-year old kicked over the podium and flipped off the audience before climbing onto the back of the second place winner and yelling, ‘GIDDY UP, BRONCO!’ Or he might have just kept standing there — he’s a loose cannon.

Thanks to PYY, who informed me nobody should ever be able to take a confetti shower IN THEIR HONOR with a straight face. It isn’t right.

Bonus points for still including Pluto.

This is 8-year old Elenor Clements posing with the marshmallow bunny solar system that earned her first prize in the Peep diorama kid’s category and scored her a big box of candy and Peeps. You can’t beat that deal. You also can’t beat me in horseshoes — my grandpa was the West Virginia state champion, so it’s in my blood. Cooties too. You gotta remember to circle circle dot dot your shit up, kids.

One more shot of Elenor with an equal amount of not-smile after the jump.

NYFi payphone concept

There were various intriguing designs in New York City’s Reinvent Payphones competitors, but just one can win the ballot. Individuals have actually made their selection: NYFi will function as the motivation for street-side payphone overhauls. It’s not difficult to see why, as the proposal would theoretically fix a number of metropolitan troubles at the same time. Each NYFi center would dish out free WiFi, taking the tons off of the cellular network. It would additionally utilize open, smartphone-like software and easily versatile touchscreen hardware to consolidate numerous of the boxes that clutter the sidewalks, such as ticket equipments and bike sharing stations. We’ll accept that the gaining concept sounds a little positive to us– we wouldn’t be shocked if any finished city task fell short of the suitable. Even if we don’t get a WiFi hotspot on every edge, however, NYFi’s ultimate offshoot can be a welcome replacement for landline phones that have mostly collected dust in recent times.

Microsoft Wins Out Over Apple And Google, Acquires Home Home entertainment And Automation Business R2 Studios

| Author:

r2-id8

Late last year, it was stated that Microsoft, Apple and Google were all contacting id8 Team R2 Studios Inc. about a potential acquisition of the startup, and now the Wall Road Diary is reporting that Microsoft has actually certainly sealed the deal. R2 is a home automation and entertainment media start-up, established by Blake Krikorian, previous creator of Sling Media. Microsoft hopes to make use of the start-up ’ s resources, tech and workers to enhance its Xbox department.

R2 released an item called R2 Control for Crestron that enables it to control home automation systems, handling audio aesthetic and house movie theater devices, lighting, thermostats, protection and other linked home gadgets an Android phones and tablets both at house and remotely. The team holds patents for controlling electronic devices as well as providing the control app for Android, which will be gotten by Microsoft. Krikorian and “ a small group ” will join Microsoft as staff members as part of the bargain.

Microsoft might simply be getting the business to extend its existing strategies to make the Xbox the hub of the household enjoyment center, but as I suggested in a previous post, the opportunity is there for Redmond to now construct linked house control straight into their software platforms. Software that could control home automation and remote causing of in-home events, built into to Windows on mobile, desktop and into Xbox, could go a long means to extending the paradigm of the constantly linked mobile customer. I presume the Net of things will be a sturdy motif at following week ’ s CES, and I think this is a great indication that the huge gamers are starting to mobilize to make sure this is an area they can declare ownership of, too.

Amazon wins patent for airbag system designed to protect portable devices

| Author:

As passionate patent-watchers could remember, an application for a rather uncommon contraption from Amazon surfaced last summer– one that detailed an airbag system made to shield portable devices from falls, with none various other than Jeff Bezos himself noted as one of the 2 inventors. Now, it’s no much longer just an application, as the USPTO formally has granted the patent to Amazon today. Of course, that still suggests it’s likely a long ways from locating its way into a real Amazon item (if it ever before does), however don’t be too astounded if your future Kindle Fire 4K XL 5G one day conserves itself from a brewing demise.

11-year-old wins $ 20,000 at AT&T hackathon for creating app that discourages texting while driving

AT&T’s already dealing with an app to keep people from texting while driving, but earlier this month it gave individuals at a Los Angeles hackathon the possibility to establish their very own option. 11-year-old Victoria Walker and David Grau, a creative director and designer at an interactive agency, were rewarded $ 20,000 by Huge Blue to bring their smartphone application to the general public. Dubbed Rode Dog, the prize-winning software allows good friends and family to organize themselves into “packs” and monitor their text messaging practices. Watchful individuals can easily detect when a fellow group member is texting and initiate a barking sound on the offender’s phone. Just like squawking seat belt systems, the application is created to remind drivers of their wrongdoing and doesn’t stop the ruckus till they acknowledge it. If you would certainly rather have a chicken or other animal grab your attention, the duo crafted an in-app shop that supplies other wildlife noise sound effects. Rode Dog isn’t really expected to hit iOS, Android and Windows Phone until its totally polished, but you can easily sign up to get word of its launch at the second source link below.

Google wins face-to-unlock for multiple users patent, makes us hungry for Android support

Google wins facetounlock for multiple users

Google has won a face-to-unlock patent that seems to let multiple users share one “computing device.” Point your face at the built-in camera, and you’ll be allowed access to your personal profile — and when it’s time to move, someone else can do the same to take your place. While there’s no connection to a real-world product and relates more to biometric ID than consumer technology, it does tickle hopes that we could see the feature included alongside official multi-user support in a future iteration of Android.

RAWR: Samsung Canada Wins The Internet With This Custom Galaxy S III

| Author:

rawr-9

It all started with a simple Facebook message from a devoted Samsung fan to the company ’ s Canadian Facebook web page. “ I was simply questioning if I could get a complimentary Galaxy S3? ” asked Shane. And for great measure the Samsung fanboy included an image of a dinosaur going rawr. It wasn ’ t an excellent drawing but it was cool. And cool counts.

Shane himself, age 26, told TechCrunch today he is far from an artist. Artist or not, he ’ s now the happy owner of a Samsung Galaxy S III with his artwork enhancing the backside — and he got the tailored phone free of cost.

The phone came from Samsung Canada. His phone is special. It ’ s a one-of-a-kind and according to the note showed below from Samsung Canada, it ’ s the only tailored Galaxy S III in Canada. Finest of all, it ’ s a present from Samsung Canada to Shane, apparently a sort-of thank you for the tale that viral in Could ahead of the Galaxy S III ’ s launch.

When Shane delivered his little note to Samsung Canada in May, the phone had yet to hit the marketplace. Samsung had simply unveiled the phone and it wasn ’ t set to hit the Canadian market until late June. But that didn ’ t stop Shane, a self-professed Samsung fan, who suggested to Samsung Canada that he already owned Samsung HDTV, Samsung note pad and a first-generation Samsung Galaxy S. But he preferred Samsung ’ s most recent smartphone, too.

Samsung Canada didn ’ t respond to Shane ’ s take note till the next day. As seen on this screenshot of the Facebook message (shown right), Samsung Canada politely described that there is no way they might give everybody person who asked a free of cost phone. Samsung would certainly go out of company, explained the Facebook message. However as a parting gift, the company included an image of a kangaroo. The story rapidly went viral on Reddit. However the tale didn ’ t end there.

Shane explained to TechCrunch that Samsung Canada called him recently and told him to expect a delivery of a phone within the next couple of days.

The phone not only has custom backart but also an unique background that matches up art work on the bezel. Samsung Canada says it ’ s the just one of its kind in Canada but it ’ s likely the only one like it on the planet.

And the Web states being a fanboy doesn ’ t pay. It plainly paid perfectly in this case.
