Every year, many sports photos circulate around the world, because sport is one of those parts of life that gives birth to heroes, motivates us, and astonishes and shocks in equal measure. The Olympics and the World Cup in football offered just that, but since you already know these scenes, we will clear the table for the end of the year, which you may have missed, but which deserve attention just the same.

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?
Winter hats are, in addition to gloves and scarves, an indispensable winter item. And although the primary function of this warm accessory is to keep you warm, hats can also be a fashion accessory that brightens up your winter wardrobe. Although the range of winter caps in stores is really diverse, human imagination also reaches beyond it. That's how Vikings, Batmans, Sleeping Beauty, deer, mummies, Transformers,...
Rapportive was a phenomenal extension for Gmail that gave a lot of "meat" to the contact, i.e. extra information that was displayed in the sidebar. When it was adopted by LineDIN, it lost its character and many people are still looking for it today. But it won't be like that for much longer. The start-up company FullContact has developed a new Gmail extension for Chrome, a kind of Rapportive 2.0, which provides the contact's job title, location, social profiles, photos,...
BlackBerry put itself on the world map years ago (if you count in technology years) when it introduced a phone with a physical keyboard that allowed you to send and receive emails. It was a concept of the business world, but over the years it lost its status more and more, as plastic qwerty keyboards were replaced by touch screens. Now he wants to return to the path of old glory with the BlackBerry Classic smartphone, with which he is also returning to his roots.
If the photographer was in the right place and at the right time this time, this certainly does not apply to those on the other side of the lens, who definitely found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, but therefore offered scenes that make everyone laugh. Well, not just actors.
We usually imagine hammocks somewhere under the canopy, by the sea, but certainly not 120 meters above the ground and in the desert. But it was precisely at such a height that a group of adrenaline junkies erected it above the Moab desert among the red deserts in Utah, USA, and called it the "Mothership Space Net Penthouse". Crazy!
The whole family gathers around the table for Christmas dinner. For real animal lovers, dogs and cats are also part of it, because they are more than just pets. And when the table is covered with goodies on Christmas Eve, we all know what will happen. The furry four-legged friends will look at us with the saddest eyes as they stand restlessly by the chair and ask for a piece of food. Freshpet checked how it would look if dogs and cats had human hands and behaved like humans at the table.
People are much more likely to go to work if they know they can have a little fun while working. A good example is the colleagues at Squarespace, Francesco Fragomeni and Chris Limbrick, who took an interesting leap from the established work routine. They didn't interrupt the work process with a coffee or a chic break, but rather amateur photo-recreation of famous paintings by renowned painters and packaged the matter in the project "Fools Do Art".
Winter can be a severe trial for animals. Some oversleep during this time, others do not. And while wild animals are left to the mercy of nature, pets have it a little easier, because they are provided with a warm shelter at home or their owners put them in special clothes for wandering in the cold. But even these animals have to find their way and find a source of heat on their own. See how they do it.
For all its sophistication and attention to detail, the iPhone has its flaws. One of the more obvious is the keyboard user experience. iOS 8 did bring the option of choosing an on-screen keyboard, but until the arrival of a genuine alternative iPhone keyboard, there was no truly effective remedy. It was brought only by the Next Keyboard application, which eliminates all the pressing responsibilities of use.
Friday is the day for a "hit", a day when especially young people visit bars and indulge in the weekend. This has been joined in the digital age by ThrowbackThursday, a day when Instagram users visit the past and indulge in nostalgia by posting a photo from their youth under the hashtag #tbt. And 2014 was, in addition to selfies, also the year of nostalgic celebrity photos.
Korea's LG will present a new generation of TVs with quantum technology at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January. Admittedly, it is not a quantum leap in technology, so quantum dots up to 30% will increase the color range of the TV, which means an even more vivid picture than we are used to with classic LCD and OLED TV screens.
