Fingerprint Stealing!

/in , /by

So, it turns out, the hugely popular peace sign that we all love to do in photo’s could now potentially be dangerous for us. Great. More things spoiled by some bad people!

According to research at the Japanese National Institute of Informatics when we make the peace sign we could be giving away our biometric data. (Our fingerprint to you and I)

Mashable reports that if the picture is clear enough, within 10 feet and the lighting is bright enough hackers could recreate our fingerprint using 3D technology and unlock things such as our iPhone for example.

Click here to hear the guys thoughts on the Eletrunks!

See below the original article:

 

There’s a new underwear brand in town and their hilarious but functional at the same time!

They’re called Eletrunks and they allow a user to adjust himself without having to shove his hand down ‘there’ The website describes the underwear as ‘chafe-free’ and keeps ‘you from sticking to yourself’ – regarding the issue of not putting your hand down ‘there’ the website describes how and where you place your baby maker and when you need to ‘adjust’ just give the ‘lifter’ a tug.

Founder Michael Walker, told Mashable how he came up with this crazy idea:

“I quit my job last September to travel through Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. Somewhere in the first week of Ecuador I convinced myself to buy a motorcycle to carry me through the rest of my journey,” he told Mashable. “Here is where I realized how incredibly uncomfortable each type of men’s underwear can be and how there is no true functionality. Somewhere crossing the Colombia boarder the idea for Eletrunks crystallized.”

Amazon Opens More Book Stores!

/in , , /by

If opening a physical store wasn’t interesting enough, Amazon is adding to its fleet of Amazon Book stores already in use.

Amazon told the Wallstreet Journal in an email that they are opening a bookstore in Manhattan sometime this spring. Located at Time Warner Center in Midtown at the edge of Central Park.

In an ironic twist of fate Amazon may have been tempted by such a location as Manhattan rent prices are dropping due to online stores.

Amazon currently has three bookstores located at Seattle, Portland and San Diego. As well as this new one in Manhattan there are also plans for two more, Chicago and Massachusetts.

Amazon’s books are cheaper in it’s physical stores rather than online, but unsurprisingly enough you can sign up for a prime membership in store.
