Got a photogenic cat? Then show the world your precious kitty by letting your pet take its own selfies with the help of the Snapcat app. Once you fire it up, a red dot will appear on the screen. In theory, your cat will be transfixed by this dot and will bat at it with its paw. This action will signal your front-facing camera to snap a picture of your feline companion while its at play. What could be cuter or more adorable than that?
Is your phone running low on power? That should be no problem if you’re wearing shorts with the Power Pocket, because all you’ll have to do to charge up your phone is shake your booty. Clearly it’s not the easiest or most practical way to charge your battery, but it’s probably one of the funnest, especially if you’re in the right place, with the right people.
The shorts were created by Vodafone with the help of researchers from the University of Southampton. They were unveiled to attendees of UK’s Isle of Wight music fest, who I’m sure had a blast trying it out.
If you can’t go anywhere without checking in on Foursquare, then you might find the Time Machine helpful in tracing and mapping out every place you’ve visited in the past few months. It’s basically a data visualization tool that uses your check-in data to create a colorful map with the places you’ve been to pointed out by bright orbs.
You can zoom in to each point on the map so you can see where it is and when you visited that location. The background music sets the tone for your past adventures, and you can easily share the graphic with your network using the tool.
This cologne might have been named after Stan Lee. Heck, it was probably inspired by him or created with his seal of approval. But don’t be misled, because it smells nothing like Stan ‘The Man’ himself. Unless he wears the cologne himself, of course.
It’s being made by JADS International, which was also the company behind the Avengers cologne. The Stan Lee cologne is described as being as “adventurous as Stan’s superheroes, yet it can make you feel a bit villainous.” Apparently, that’s how Stan wanted it for his fans who might be picking up a bottle or two of his signature cologne.
You don’t have to be a spy to find some use for this covert spy coin. They’re different from most other concealed storage containers because they really look and feel like the real thing. The reason for that is because they are made from actual currency. They’re hand-machined from existing coins to create the secret interior compartment. There’s only enough space inside to fit a micro SD card or anything else that’s as tiny as these memory cards.
What can I say about Ultrabooks that you haven’t heard before? They’re the industry’s answer to users who have been clamoring for sleek and ultra-portable notebooks that don’t skimp on performance. A fine example is the Dell Inspiron 15z Ultrabook, which is powered by an Intel Core i3 processor with 6GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive with 32GB mSATA SSD. It features a 15.6-inch screen in a 0.88-inch thin chassis and comes with a built-in DVD burner optical drive and Skullcandy speakers with Waves MaxxAudio 4 for the ultimate media experience. Other specs include 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth, and HDMI, plus four USB 3.0 ports and an 8-in-1 card reader.
The Inspiron 15z normally retails for $749.99, but after today’s deal, you’ll only pay $549.99 with free shipping. This deal is one that you shouldn’t miss, especially if you’re in the market for a new laptop. And even if you’re not, it’s still a pretty good buy.

You’ll need to have a well-rounded mix of skills in order to survive a zombie apocalypse, and this charm bracelet contains most, if not all, of the things you’d need aside from those skills. The bracelet is loaded with charms ranging from weapons and tools to food items and communication devices. I’m pretty sure even Michonne would approve.
The “I’ve Got a Zombie Plan” charm bracelet is available for pre-order from PlayBox’s shop on Etsy. It’s priced at $32.23.

The HTC One is one of the biggest rivals to Samsung’s Galaxy S4, and it looks like both smartphone manufacturers will be facing off once more this summer. Samsung has already announced the Galaxy S4 Mini last month. HTC hasn’t made any official announcements on a mini version of the One, but rumors are rife that a smaller version of their flagship phone is in the works.
Sources claim that the HTC One Mini will be released sometime this August. It will sport a 4.3-inch screen and come with a Qualcomm processor that’ll be less powerful than what the One is equipped with. That’s to be expected, considering that this is the “mini” version of that phone.
HTC will confirm the news in due time, so I guess we’ll all just have to wait and see when or if they do.

Summer is fast approaching. Whether it’s a trip to the beach, a picnic, or even a camping trip, it’s time to get your gear ready for whatever activities you’ve got lined up. You should add the WalkBag to your list. It’s a bag that’s also a towel at the same time, so you can use it to carry your essentials and whatever stuff you need.
When you’ve found the perfect spot, just empty it and pull it inside out to transform it into a beach towel or picnic blanket. It also has a sleeve on one end where you can insert an inflatable or makeshift pillow for added comfort.
