The winter equivalent of the inconvenience called road congestion when we drive to the sea is a line in front of a chairlift or cable car on a ski slope. But the future promises us smart ski resorts that will improve the user experience of skiers and enable us to meander for a longer time and wait in line less time. At least that's according to a project launched at Vail Ski Resort, which has a dedicated EpicMix mobile app (soon to be available for Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and Keystone) that provides real-time information on the condition of the ski lifts.

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
Trumbo is a biographical drama about one of the most talented screenwriters of the last 50 years, James Dalton Trumbo. The film was signed by Jay Roach (Austin Powers), born in Albuquerque, so it is only logical that he dedicated the character of the "controversial" screenwriter to Bryan Cranston, who lived in that place as Walter White in the cult series Crooked Path. In addition to the latter, the film also stars Diane Lane, Elle Fanning, Louis CK, Helen Mirren and John Goodman.
YO! Home is a small apartment that allows incredible metamorphosis. It is a revolutionary way of using apartments, the concept of which has practically not changed since the beginning of their construction. Simon Woodroffea has already demonstrated the extremely economical use of space with the futuristic Yotel hotels, Yo! Home is a step further. It's a home that uses the mechanics we're used to on stage sets, which can quickly turn a single-apartment apartment into a multi-apartment apartment, into a living room, into a dining room, into a bedroom, into practically anything.
The situation when we find ourselves in front of a range of sunglasses is always the same. We put one pair on our nose after another before we find out in this lottery which ones best suit our face. Because in the end, that's what counts, and not which one seems to please you the most. What if we told you that there is a shortcut to that conclusion? So that, based on the shape of your face, you can already at the start eliminate glasses that will certainly not suit you and those that will. And yes, summer may be coming to an end, but the sales are coming and with the new knowledge you will make a really good deal - for your wallet and for your appearance.
The Boom Swimmer is a waterproof Bluetooth speaker that resembles a sperm. But don't let the suggestive shape fool you. Its shape serves its purpose (you attach it with the tail), it is not just a provocation. The Boom Swimmer is the ideal addition to the action by the water. It is not a big deal if you fall into the water, as it is waterproof according to the IPX7 standard and is just perfect for various outdoor activities. It is available in different colors starting from (calculated) 39 euros.
Among the flood of electric bicycles, which all serve the same purpose and differ from each other in the same way that smartphones differ from each other in terms of appearance (so practically nothing) - of course there are bright exceptions - the Ubco 2x2 multifunctional electric bicycle stands out from the competition. This 174-kilogram two-wheeler not only looks different, but also behaves differently from the others. It is an all-terrain bike and a true multi-tasker, as you can use it to transport heavy loads in the morning, and chase off-road trails in the afternoon.
Remember when we used to fly a kite as kids? Those were the days when Apple and Blackberry were just fruit. Today, children fly drones instead of kites, and instead of apples and currants, they hold smart devices in their hands. But if you have trouble maneuvering the drone via your phone, consider the Fotokite Phi, which requires no sense of coordination to operate. It is a drone on a smart leash, which you let down like a kite and follows you like a helium-filled balloon. You can pre-order it on Indiegogo.
With Portorož, Slovenia got a unique opportunity, because between September 6 and 13, 2015, it will become the hub of the world for competitors in playing computer games. It will host Gaming Paradise, the largest e-sports festival in this part of Europe. The e-sports activities will also be enriched by entertainment on the coast, and Portorož will be the first venue of its kind to have as a backdrop, in addition to the sea of visitors and participants (only the open-air pre-selection in Sečovlje reached as many as 1.6 million online views), also the real sea .
Need a little break? Then "Emoji Mosaic" is exactly what you need right now. A website that turns your photos into a smiley face mosaic that you can save to your computer. Is your productivity already on the wane? Then do not click under any circumstances. You have been warned.
The evolution goes like this: roller skates-rollers-shoes with wheels on the heel- Walk Wing. The latter is a cross between all three predecessors. But with an important difference. With them, you can overcome the distance with the help of wheels and on foot, without having to change shoes or make compromises. It is an "amphibious" foot device with which you can switch between rollerblading and walking or running in a fraction of a second.

The Apple Watch smart watch is naturally waterproof, as it boasts an IPX7 certificate, which means that it can survive in water up to a depth of one meter for a maximum of 30 minutes without damage, but Apple does not recommend this either. That's why Catalyst stepped in, a respected maker of protective iPhone cases that has long been a loyal Apple "security guard". And after iPhones, they have now taken the Apple Watch under their wing and made them truly waterproof (IP68 certificate).
