Fashionably Bad-Ass: Zombie Charm Bracelet

By Hazel Chua on 06/14/13 • Leave a comment!

Zombie Charm Bracelet

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 following article is brought to you by Mimecast. -Ed.

Internet giant Google announced last year that it was shutting down Postini, the email and web archiving and security facility it has owned since 2007, when it was bought for $625mn. These cloud computing services, which filter email spam and malware before it reaches a client’s mail server, also offer optional email archiving.

The internet giant says the process of moving away from Postini will take place throughout 2013, with customers receiving further information about the transition process with a minimum of 60 days’ notice ahead of their migration being scheduled to start.

Rumor Mill: HTC One Mini Might Be Released This August

By Hazel Chua on 06/14/13 • Leave a comment!

HTC One Mini

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.

WalkBag

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.

3D-Printed Mouse Cover Looks Awesome and Provides Added Comfort

By Hazel Chua on 06/14/13 • Leave a comment!

Statial

Statial is a 3D-printed top cover for the Logitech M100 mouse and it looks all sorts of amazing. Aside from aesthetics, the mouse cover can be adjusted to fit your grip. So if you use your mouse a lot–whether it’s for work or image editing or for gaming–then the Statial can provide you with some added comfort while you use your mouse.

The complicated design was thought up by Pyott Design, and the downside to it is its cost, since it retails for about $70. The Logitech M100, which is the only mouse it’s compatible with, costs only $10 so it might not make much sense to spend so much on an accessory for it.

Deal Of The Day: $50 Off On Alienware 14 “Haswell” Core i7 Gaming Laptop

By David Ponce on 06/13/13 • Leave a comment!

Haswell processors from Intel are literally fresh off the press. They’re starting to pop up everywhere, with added energy efficiency and computing performance. But it’s nice that despite their freshness, deals are to be found. The Alienware 14 Core i7 Gaming Laptop comes equipped with such a CPU, as well as 8GB RAM, a 750GB 7200RPM Hard Drive, and a 1GB GeForce GTX 750M Graphics card. Granted, the $50 rebate being offered on the $1,199 base price isn’t all that much, but if you were in the market for this in the first place, isn’t it nice to have anyway?

And Then God Created: Bacon Maple Coffee

Café-de-beicon-1

Anyone who’s been reading the site for any period of time knows that we’re deeply in love with bacon. Better yet, we think bacon mated with maple is as wonderful as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Abbott and Costello… or peanut butter and chocolate, to get away from entertainment duos of yesteryear metaphors. Now that we’ve seen Maple Bacon Morning Coffee from Boca Java, we will not rest until we get some and make it part of our breakfast. At $8 for an 8oz. bag, it’s not going to break anyone’s bank.

Super Slim External Battery Might Be Convenient Enough To Carry

By David Ponce on 06/13/13 • Leave a comment!

Gokuusu-portable-battery

Let’s face it, the main reason external batteries aren’t as much of a runaway success as they could be is because no one wants to carry yet another bulky item in their pockets. But phones will keep running out of juice, and you’ll keep turning off Bluetooth, WiFi, brightness and whatnot to get that extra mile out of your phone. What about the Gokuusu portable battery? It’s 4.5mm thin and about credit-card sized, which means that it could fit into a wallet with ease. Sure, the 1,000 mAh isn’t going to bring a phone back to 100%, but in emergency situations, it’ll be more than welcome. The connection is done through a retractable USB cable and a set of tiny adaptors for whatever phone you carry. Better yet, it also has 4GB of storage. At 2,980 Yen ($30), it wouldn’t make much sense not to get one if you’re the type of guy who’s constantly getting home with your mobile running on empty.

Well… maybe this applies only to some small portion of the population. Don’t go reading into this comic too much, I’m just saying this does happen from time to time, and a jerk will be a jerk, smartphone or not. It was just a brief bit of entertainment.

Carry on.
