What's happening online is so lively that it's hard to compare it to anything at all. It's like Wall Street at opening time, like New York's Verrazano-Narrows Bridge for marathon time. So much happens on it every minute that technology can barely keep up. Namely, the Internet is an insatiable animal that is hungry for data, and with the advent of smart mobile devices, it is being fed by even more hands. Let's see what happens on it in 60 seconds.

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?
Ever since ESPN, America's 24-hour sports cable network, began broadcasting footage from the X-Games to the wider world in the mid-1990s, the concept of extreme sports has become a very sticky subject. Some sports, which were extreme at the time, are today "just" sports disciplines, e.g. surfing and skiing, however, there are still quite a few that have not (yet) broken into the mainstream. Let's look at some of them.
The Quadrofoil is a revolutionary Slovenian-made vessel, a new type which, according to the idea leader Simon Pivac, is to nautical what the arrival of the Jet Ski was to the jet ski. It glides on the surface of the water similar to a hydrofoil, i.e. it lifts its hull out of the water, and navigation is ensured by underwater wings with the bionic shape of whale fins. It is an electric, economical and environmentally friendly vehicle with operating costs of less than one euro per hour of driving.
After his Portugal had to quickly pack their bags at the World Cup in Brazil, soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo quickly licked his wounds at Real Madrid, where he remains a goal-scoring machine this season as well (17 goals in 9 games). In fact, he continues where he left off, as last year in La Liga he diligently saved the opponent's net and won his third golden boot with 31 goals.
London's Chealsea was not exactly a friendly host for Maribor, as Jasmin Handanović had to go for the ball in the goal as many as six times. No wonder that the Brazilian from Styria, Marcos Tavares, summed up his impressions after the match in "I feel very Brazilian today". Although the English club's form under Jose Mourinho is frightening, Chelsea's boys are not as baffling as they may seem during a match on the pitch.
After the success of the animated comedy Despicable Me, the Minions quickly stole the show from Gru and the others. They ruled the Internet and rightfully got their own animation, which is a kind of prequel to the already mentioned animation, which also experienced a terrible (partial) sequel.
Let's face it. When we open the "door" of our "room" with bookmarks, it's like walking into a teenager's room. Everything is lying flat, nothing is organized, anarchy reigns, but surprisingly we usually know exactly where to look. But time slips out of our hands. A little here, a little there. That's why Google is trying to put this disorganized flock of sheep in order with the "Google Bookmark Manager" extension for home Chrome.
Albuquerque (New Mexico, USA), yes, this Albuquerque, where the Breaking Bad series took place, hosts the largest balloon festival in the world every October, when hot air balloons swarm the air for nine days. As if the colorful colors of autumn leaves weren't colorful enough. It is a spectacle that is visited by more than 800 thousand people and is the scene of unforgettable scenes, such as this fresh timelapse that we have attached.
You probably won't disagree with us when we say that the battle in the smartphone market is exhausting. Many models have experienced defeat, many are still there. Although the latter seems to be the case for the latest "soldier" from the Chinese company Oppo, the Oppo R5, this thinnest smartphone in the world, measuring only 4.85 millimeters in thickness, is bursting with power despite its (excessive) thinness and will offer serious resistance to competition.
Just as the radio did not give in to the video, the book to the Kindle, mechanical keyboards will not give in to virtual ones so quickly either, because they lack a key ingredient that is needed by all those who "cook" with words - writers. Feedback in terms of physical response. Until recently, this came with a considerable price, an inconvenience that does not coincide with the trend of mobile devices. But the new Logitech keyboard Keys-To-Go combines the best of both worlds.
Unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, as we affectionately call them, are becoming an indispensable tool for people who want to create stunning footage, the kind of which we could only see in movies or documentaries a year or two ago, and behind which there was a camera crew and a ton of logistics. With the Hexo+ drone, which follows us automatically, all this is a thing of the past, because now it is possible to record jumps and similar shenanigans without any help.
Today, Samsung's mid-range mobile phones are not just stripped-down high-end models, as they are not far behind in terms of performance and are therefore suitable for more demanding users. Unlike those from the richer strata, they offer an excellent ratio between performance, quality and price, and the newcomers from the young Galaxy A family, the Galaxy A3 and A5, are living proof.
