Jump Will Keep You Juiced!
Native Union only needed $40,000 to fund their Kickstarter project for a battery-booster built into a USB cable – but they’ve already cleared $137,000 in a matter of hours and there’s still 30 days to go! The simplest ideas are the best, of course – by which I mean: things that help to solve a […]
World’s Biggest Data Breaches – Infographic
Here’s an interesting infographic that lists and ranks some of the more recent data breaches. It’s somewhat US-focused (does not include Loyaltybuild) and not quite up to date (Snapchat?) but interesting nonetheless.

Tá guthú an-dhrámatúil ar an bhfíseán seo – tá súil agam go bhfuair sé cupán deas tae in a dhiaidh chun a scórnach a leigheas!

Bikini Bridge Gets Knickers in a Twist
OK – so you may have heard the Daily Mail getting all self-righteous and cross about the latest body image fad.
