As many as 18,000 photos were submitted to the National Geographic Traveler magazine, but the cream of the photography competition was picked up by only one, the Slovenian storm chaser Marko Korošec, who proved with a photo of a stormy supercell that our small size is not a prison cell that keeps us from for the world to notice us. Even though such international successes are a rare phenomenon, even more so than the weather phenomenon that brought him victory.

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?
Smartphones have become so embedded in our lives that they know us like they know our own pocket. Or even more, because we have it in our hands constantly. But we know that this is not always the safest and most practical. It's a good thing we're now 'covered' by Snaptrax, a baseball cap/cap with a visor, which is not only a fashion accessory, a hiding place for hair and a sunshade, but a bluetooth device that will turn you into a 'eyeball' and free your hands.
Behind every good beard is a woman, well, at least if you're Isaiah Webb, the Sony employee whose incredible beard creations the internet has dubbed "Incredibeard."
We all know that a large part of our lives is spent sleeping. 26 years to be exact. If we add to this the preparation for the visit to the 'Slafonja village', then the number stops at 33. That is why it is a bit surprising that in various ways we watch every pulse of life when we are awake, while the night remains a gray spot. But the Misfit Beddit sleep monitor is on a mission to change that and put all the guesswork to rest and turn your bed into a smart one.
When we think of Russia, images of the Siberian cold, the cold war, cold human character, vodka, huts... Everything is somehow related to the cold, albeit only metaphorically. But Russia is not what it used to be either. Today, heat waves are splashing across its border as well, and people are cooling down as best they know how. If necessary, they can also turn the living room into a swimming pool, as a group of teenagers did.
While we are used to digital guides, GPS devices, directing us along the shortest, most optimal and fastest routes, Yahoo researchers have recently expanded their perception of maps, so that they can now also take us along the "most beautiful", "calm" and "lively" routes. The technology is currently limited to walking, but it won't be long before other forms of transport will adopt it.
The images of some artistic paintings are so embedded in our everyday life that even those who are not close to art are familiar with them. This type of work has already been reproduced countless times, but this time's recycling did not produce classic replicas, as it did not follow the accessories of the original author. The brushes were thus replaced by the trigger, and the canvas by the mirror. The re-creation was created with a camera and without digital 'application'.
At the end of the year, the cinemas will also be colored by music, because in the last breath of November, the film about James Brown, "Get on Up", is coming. Chadwick Boseman lent voice and stature to the soul and funk legend, while Brown's musical opus lent the title to the biographical drama. Under the direction of Tate Taylor ("The Help"), the film takes us through the entire life span of the "godfather of soul music".
Smartphones are powerful devices and masters of countless skills, but while they benefit us in many areas, they also make us a target for thieves and other miscreants. And since they don't have martial arts knowledge in their repertoire, as most of its owners don't, we are easy prey. But no more! Namely, The Defender is coming, a pocket-sized device, the fear and trembling of all small-minded people.
Vin Diesel probably wasn't vin-jen when he broke into Sam Smith's "Stay With Me" the way Serena Williams was during the Wimbledon doubles match, so it'd probably be better if, unlike Will Smith, he just stayed when playing.
We all know the feeling when we are waiting for a return message - SMS, but it is nowhere to be found. Our hunger for an answer grows by the minute, but as they say, "a pot that is watched never boils" or "he who waits impatiently, never lives." Our heads swarm with scenarios of what could be the cause of this, and although the situation usually does not have comedic endings, waiting also gives rise to funny slides/monologues. We have collected some of them below.
A folding bike that fits into a round bag is the concept of the Indian company Lucid Design, which even such an idiot would know how to assemble or disassemble. Because once a bike becomes luggage, it becomes a problem. But with Kit, this is a thing of the past, because by disassembling it into 21 parts, it becomes easily portable and friendly even for traveling by plane.
