Every aspect of our lives (at least those of people living in the First World) is getting ”technologized”, so why not up our sex life to 2.0 as well. Apple’s i.Con Smart Condom is Apple’s answer to your need to have your apparatus wrapped in/rubbed by cybernetics. The device will monitor details of your sex life, such as duration of intercourse, number of thrusts made or calories burn, and relay this info to a special smartphone app. The device itself is not actually a condom, though, but a ring to be placed over an actual prophylactic. Good thing, too, ’cause ...

I do not think I have heard of anyone dying from excitment when playing video games, at least until now. 66 years old citizen of Marina Bay Sands was an avid Pokemon GO player. On that unfortunate day, he and his family was celebrating birthday of another family ...

Some time ago I reported to you that one bilion Yahoo accounts have been infiltrated by hackers in one of the largest cyber-attacks to date. Well, as it turns out, this wasn’t the first time Yahoo was being targeted by e-criminals. According to inquiry by Securities and Exchange Commssion, portal has already been invaded between 2015 and 2016, with hackers collecting data of 32 million Yahoo accounts. Verizon, new owner of Yahoo, probably isn’t pleased. This may be why the portal was sold for paltry 350 million USD.If I were you, I’d move to Gmail or some other mailing ...

Mr. Goodenough may be 94 years old, but that does not stop him from working (respect).

Of course, battery is still in development, and there is no fixed date on when the research will be complete. The sooner, the better.Sim-unlock.net is a system that ...

If on last Tuesday you could not connect to an important/favourite website, there was nothing wrong with your web connection or web browser. On February 28th, one of Amazon Internet clouds suffered a breakdown. Multitude of websites make use of Amazon Web Service, so the service’s failure meant that a huge chunk of Internet went down. Websites were not the only things that stopped working – many inteligent household items have also stopped working. It is a troubling notion, knowing how much of our daily life depends on whether or not the Internet connection is secure. Only good ...
