Mattel introduced its famous View-Master stereoscopic toy more than three-quarters of a century ago (1939), but today it is returning to children's rooms, as the world-famous toy manufacturer has, with the help of Google, upgraded it to the extent that the former 3D display images using color filters instead of virtual reality display. Goodbye playgrounds.

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?
Every year, in various beauty contests, we can get to know a thousand and one female faces that come from the most remote corner of the world, but these portraits of women are somehow taken out of context, because the girls pose on stage and catwalks, instead of in their natural environment. This was done by a traveler from Romania, Mihaela Noroc, who captured the beauty of women in their cultural environment during her trip around the world, and called her project - Atlas of Beauty - ''The Atlas Of Beauty''.
The Man From UNCLE is Guy Ritchie's first film since 2011, when he graced us with Sherlock Holmes. This time he's back with a new spy flick, an adaptation of the British TV series of the same name from 1964. And if we haven't bought you yet with the fact that Madonna's ex-husband took on the task of transferring from TV screens to the big screen, we will certainly have you with the story set during the hottest years of the Cold War, when CIA and KGB agents join forces.
Microsoft continues to push the boundaries with its Lumia smartphones, but not so much in terms of user experience and technology itself, but rather the price, which continues to slide down. Which is clearly encouraging news, as the Lumia, with the working name of RM-1099, should be available for less than 60 euros. Obviously, you won't get a Fittipaldi for this, but it will satisfy all those users who still use smartphones "on a whim" or who are not too demanding.
The fact that you have children does not mean that you have to reduce the list of holiday options for a few years to organized holidays and apartments surrounded by children's playgrounds and activities specially adapted for the youngest. Holidays, where sand from the sandbox is replaced by desert sand, and pebbles from the coast become rocks on the hill, are not only in the domain of adults, because you can also take children with you to many places.
LG is betting a lot on smart watches, otherwise it wouldn't have introduced its third model in a relatively short time. The LG Watch Urbane, like the G Watch R and the diametric opposite of the Apple Watch, is a classic watch in appearance, but in reality, the heart of Android is hidden under the dial. LG is not sending a unisex model to the market, as it will be available in gold and silver, as it counts on both sexes equally.
The present spray is a compressed air horn that creates a distinctive piercing siren sound. A gadget "invented" by comedy duo Tripp and Tyler will get you the full attention of people who aren't paying you because they're (unjustifiably) distracted by other things. Yes, smart devices, we're looking at you! And although it resembles a cheerleader's trumpet, it is intended for self-defense. In front of people without manners.
Steam, the online toy service of the publishing house Valve Corporation, recently recorded a record rush for their most popular PC game Dota 2, with as many as one million simultaneous users (1,075,464). The magic limit is nothing compared to the bar set by League of Legends (Microsoft Windows platform), which was simultaneously played by 7.5 million players, but in absolute terms, the Steam platform leads here as well.
The Level is an active base with an uneven bottom, suitable for standing desks. Humans are made to walk, but we spend up to eight hours in a sitting position every day in offices. And it's killing us. That's why the trend of standing desks has recently been gaining ground, some of which are also equipped with a conveyor belt or bicycle pedals. But for those of you who don't mind sweating while working, there is The Level, which forces you to constantly maintain your balance, but in a way that does not interfere with work.
Will Apple add an electric car to its product repertoire is a question that has been stirring the web for some time, but now the media has also picked up on the matter. In recent months, more and more experts from various fields of the automotive industry (Mercedes-Benz, Ford,...) are resigning and leaving for Silicon Valley. Time will tell if the news about the car is true, but the fact is that Apple has all the conditions to become the dictater of automotive trends.
Soccer player Zlatan Ibrahimović considers himself God, at least that's what he once said himself. Yes, the Swedish virtuoso with the ball has no hair on his tongue and is therefore a regular guest of the press not only for his antics on the football pitch, but also for his sarcastic statements and actions off the pitch. And while the world is talking about 50 shades of gray, Ibra, who as the Almighty does not like the situation, took matters into his own hands and shifted the debate to the shades that really count, on 50 temporary tattoos, the names of starving people, symbolizing 805 million hungry people around the world.
Boston Dynamics, a company owned by Google, has introduced a four-legged robot called Spot. It is the latest marvel of robotic technology, with the most sophisticated autonomous walking to date. Thanks go mainly to advanced sensors, excellent software and artificial intelligence, which is reflected in the incredible adaptability of the Spot, for which neither stairs, nor icy floors, nor slopes strewn with stones are a problem. But he also takes the kick stoically.
