The trend of self-portraiture, which we call the selfie, really took off in 2014. Even so that he got his own song (The Chainsmokers) and string (Selfie). There is practically no smartphone user who does not have at least one on their account, and the obsession of some has exceeded all limits of taste. Well, sometimes it is enough to not check what is happening around us and reveal things that are not for the public.

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?
The line between digital cameras and mobile phone cameras is almost blurred. Although this fact is probably hard to swallow for all sworn (D)SLR users, let us remind them that a good photo is made by the person, not the camera, and that a DSLR does not automatically make you a better photographer. A pinch of creativity and we can be more than competitive with a mobile phone. This is today's reality. So follow the tips on how to take a great photo with your mobile phone.
Baidu, which is also affectionately called the Chinese Google, together with the Industrial Design Department of China's Tsinghua University in Beijing, designed a prototype of a self-sufficient smart mountain bike DuBike, which measures your physical activity while riding, like various sports meters, performs the functions of a bicycle counter and still produces its own electricity.
Another year will soon come to an end, with a lot of new music. For the eighth year in a row, DJ Earworm has combined all the greatest musical hits of the past year into a traditional mix, packing this time's mash-up of 25 pieces entitled "United State of Pop 2014 – Do What You Wanna Do" into a good four minutes.
The Internet is used to many collages of the faces of famous people. The funny ones, the most perfect ones, etc. are coined. combinations. The artist Kalle Mattsson crossed two faces in order to create a word game with which he rechristened the hybrid person in a combination of both names. And so, for example, Yoko Ono and Bono became Yoko Bono.
If humans have two faces, why shouldn't the smartphone have them too? Last year, the Russian company Yota Devices positively surprised and brought freshness to the otherwise saturated smartphone market with the YotaPhone model, a smartphone that has two screens, the front, as we are used to, and the back, an "e-reader" with electronic ink . Now comes its successor, the YotaPhone 2, with a more advanced and touch-sensitive e-ink screen.
The snooze function is one of those functions that we use quite often on our mobile phones. It rarely happens that we do not tap snooze at least once when the alarm is activated. In fact, the satisfaction of killing an alarm clock like this is equal to the satisfaction of getting rid of a pesky mosquito. We still have a nap on our conscience, but not a mosquito. But with the iCukoo app, you'll get rid of the guilt, ha, you'll even be proud of yourself, because you'll be donating.
Instagram recently blew out the fourth candle, and although it still dwarfs Facebook in terms of user numbers (200 million vs. 1.35 billion), more and more brands are considering it as the best promotional platform in the social network ecosystem. Why? Because it is responsive and because photography is the queen of these types of networks. Let's see which brands rule it?

Check it out in the gallery and it will be clear to you right away.
December is the season of giving, and for James Bond fans, Christmas came earlier this year. Namely, director Sam Mendes left "candies" under the media spotlight about the latest, already the 24th film about agent 007, entitled Spectre. Previously, little more than the fact that Daniel Craig will portray him for the fourth time was not known, but now the secrets about the secret spy are out. So what did we learn?
Since some call them Christmas tree/spruce/fir, while others call them New Year's tree/spruce, we will strike the middle variant and name them Christmas-New Year's fir, so that the wolf will be full and the goat whole. They are one of the first associations with Christmas and the New Year, and their common denominator is colorful and shiny decoration, which those with a little more imagination interpret slightly differently than the Veleva tradition. Let's look at some more creative implementations.
Arnold Schwarzenegger as Terminator is back again. After splashing out on the fourth installment of the franchise, he returns from retirement in the new film directed by Alan Taylor, Terminator: Genisys, which means the end of peace for all who cross his path. The year is 2029, the war between humanity and machines is in full swing, and John Connor's bad premonitions are taking concrete forms.
