App Store Wars: The Mobile App Store Timeline [Infographic]
Millions and millions of apps are being bought and downloaded each year and since 2008, when the iPhone App Store first opened, there have been countless of other app stores announced and launched. The phones that we use today were revolutionized by the app stores around the web. They allow us to up ...
QR Code Island: When Hi-Tech & Low-Tech Combine
Interesting things always seem to happen when high-tech and low-tech materials get mixed together into creative art. We've featured this before in an art installation that combined textiles and technology. The result of that design was dozens of LED flowers that were truly stunning.
Today I'd lik ...
The World’s First Virtual Supermarket: Life Just Got Easier
I've been waiting for this to happen, and it finally has. If you think about it, doesn't it seem inefficient for supermarkets to store their groceries in several different stores around town? Doesn't it seem like they could save a lot of money, and more importantly, save a ton of energy and be more ...

Historic Timeline Of Mobile Productivity [Infographic]
Everyone is talking about how much the cell phone and the smartphone have increased our productivity; however, I don't completely agree with that statement. I mean, of course it has helped us to leave our offices and do our work on the go, and I suppose that might be considered more productive. On t ...

Smartphone Mania: The New Workforce [Infographic]
I started thinking about how many cell phones I have gone through since I first started using them, and I unfortunately lost count. Yeah, not that I have had a lot of expensive ones, but I've had quite a lot. I managed to go through three of them in one summer not too long ago. All of them were flip ...
You’ll Never Guess What We’ll Give Up For Our Smartphones!
Wow, this is a sensitive subject, isn't it? Nobody wants to admit they would pick their smartphone over some of life's sweetest pleasures if they had to choose; yet most of us would. I admit, I'm completely addicted to my iPhone. However, in my defense, it's because I have more friends online than o ...
A Tiny Tilt-Shift Time-Lapse World Created With A Smartphone
Tilt-shift photography is a technique that makes the end result simulate a miniature scene. I've always thought of it as a very complicated procedure requiring fancy lenses and camera equipment. However, amateur photographer Stu Kennedy recently showed the world that not only do you not have to have ...
Schweeet! The iPhone Case That Opens Beer Bottles
Some people are very motivated to open their beer bottles. If it doesn't have a twist-off cap, it can be really frustrating not to be able to find a bottle opener. I totally get that. I remember when Misty wrote about this robot t-shit with a built in bottle opener. I almost ordered one of those, bu ...
20 Captivating Photos Shot At Exactly The Right Moment
There are some things in life that make me feel dated (notice I didn't use the word "old" LOL). For example, sending a fax, writing in cursive (with a pen) and talking on any phone with a cord (and twirling it around my fingers) are all things that kids born in 2011 might never have the opportunity ...
WTF: The Chopped-Off Hand iPhone Case
I love featuring products from Japan because they are always so different than what we have in the States. I mean different in a good way. They never fail to give us a different perspective and make us want to look at the pictures. Every time I write about one, I think there is no way we'll see some ...

Whoa! Mobile Gaming By The Numbers [Infographic]
When I read today that 53% of mobile gamers are female, I knew I had to write this article. It just goes to show that once again chicks rule! At the end of 2009 and beginning of 2010 we saw a shift in gaming (along with social media, shopping habits, and everything else pretty much) to being more mo ...

Deadly Combination Of Smartphones & Driving [Infographic]
Do you get distracted by your phone when you are driving? It's been in the media a lot over the past year, and apparently, a lot of people do. It's not just smartphones that distract us from driving. Whether it's a cup of coffee, a burger, or even an excited dog in the passenger seat, it's easy to g ...
Men vs. Women: Online Shopping Trends May Surprise You
We all know the popular stereotype that women shop way more than men. Personally, that is something I can't relate to since I really, really don't like shopping; however, almost all my girl friends love it, so there must be some appeal there.
As it turns out, times are changing, and so are the tr ...
World’s First Animated Tattoo Is Pure Awesomeness
If you are connected with me on my Facebook account, you know I am a sucker for tattoos. I am constantly drawing up new ones, and I have many yet to make and get forever inked onto my body. I am very careful about what I choose to tattoo (as I would expect anyone to be), and I always draw my own mot ...
How To: Cross-Stitch Your Own iPhone Case
iPhones aren't just for geeks and techy people, they are for everyone. As a matter of fact, if you look at this chart, you'll see that from 2007 when the first iPhone was introduced all the way through the end of last quarter (March 31, 2011), there have been about 108,624,000 iPhones sold. That's a ...
