Best fitness trackers with WhatsApp support in 2018
These days, it seems like there’s nothing fitness trackers can’t do.

Biggest WhatsApp Update In Years: Why Group Calling Will Be Important
When WhatsApp was originally launched back in 2009 it had a simple interface, not many features, and most people didn’t really know about it.

You can’t go anywhere online these days without running into selfies. Everyone’s doing it, and even though duck faces have faded quite a bit in the last few years (thankfully), selfies aren’t going anywhere.

Ford Created a Hat to Keep Truck Drivers Awake While on the Road
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 100,000 police-reported crashes are the direct result of driver fatigue each year, which results in an estimated 1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries, and $12.5 billion in monetary losses.

The New Kindle Oasis E-reader Goes Above and Beyond
Believe it or not, Amazon’s Kindle e-reader is ten years old, and it is celebrating by launching a brand new (and improved) e-reader. With the introduction of tablets and other devices on which people can read books as well as use apps, or chat, or work, it’s hard to fathom that e-readers still have a […]

Google to Introduce Restaurant Wait Times on Google Search and Maps
Do you hate planning a nice night out at your favorite restaurant just to learn that there’s a two hour wait time when you get there? I do. When I get to the restaurant, I’m usually fairly hungry (and I get hangry quite soon after that), so if there’s a long wait time, I usually […]

A Look Into why the Nintendo Switch is so Popular
When Nintendo launched the Switch (its seventh major gaming console) back in March, I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect. Let’s face it, on paper, the Switch is underwhelming in a lot of areas, specifically in the horsepower department. But surprisingly, it’s Nintendo’s fastest selling game console of all time. Let’s take a closer look […]

Slurp Away With this New Noise Cancelling Fork
I enjoy eating Ramen noodles once in a while, and if you’re also a fan of the quick and satisfying instant meal, you know as well as I do that it’s practically impossible to fully enjoy it without, well, a lot of slurping. It’s almost as if instant noodles were created with slurping in mind […]

Lettuce Catsup on the ‘Great Burger Debate’ of 2017

Amazon Cuts Third-Party Sellers’ Prices – at its Own Expense
In a bold move that it hopes will help it face competition this holiday season, Amazon is offering discounts on third-party seller items – and eats the cost. Items bearing the mention ‘Discount provided by Amazon’ show a reduced price for buyers, but third-seller parties are still getting the full amount for their sales. What’s […]

TripAdvisor Hid Posts Alleging Rape and Sexual Assault
TripAdvisor is one of the top travel sites to visit to learn more about venues and browse other people’s feedback on places and accommodations.

I’m a big fan of non-conventional games, i.e. games that don’t follow the same cookie cutter formula as so many do.
