Instagram has announced Boomerang, a new app for making 1-second videos that will change the world of gif creation forever and bring the popular social network even closer to its users. Not to mention that it will once again successfully sweep the competition, which (for now) is trying in vain to be more innovative.
Do you know how to get rid of snoring for good? Snoring is a nuisance, especially for the one lying next to us. As a solution to snoring, we are offered countless products, but all of them are more or less ineffective or interfere with the comfort of our sleep. If you suffer from snoring or your partner suffers from snoring, now (finally) there is a device that will help you get rid of snoring for good in a non-invasive way! They call it Nora, the so-called first aid for snoring. It combines a sensor that detects when we start snoring and an inflatable insert that we place under the pillow to stop us imperceptibly, before we wake up our partner.
MP3 players are now just a memory for most. Smartphones have almost completely exterminated them, but the most "resistant" versions, i.e. high-tech devices for audiophiles, have survived, but live more in the background. Now they're joined by Pioneer's XDP-100R, a sleek mobile piece that won't appeal to everyone, but that's not even its purpose.
The HTC One A9, or iPhone's lost twin, as you might call it, is a blasphemous combination of Apple design and Google software. HTC had no choice but to go all or nothing, because despite the interesting and better models than the competition that it sent to the market this year, it failed to convince (enough) buyers to sleep peacefully. However, the One A9 model will be hard to miss, because the sophisticated design hides top-notch hardware, and the result is downright toxic.

The Slovenian-made Itero pocket watch is a representative of a device from another time. If a few decades ago watches were an indispensable accessory, today the same applies to smartphones. Otherwise, we are surrounded at every turn by things that scream for our attention, and we use smartphones even for such simple tasks as telling the time. And when we do this, we are distracted by various notifications. This is how we get caught up in virtual reality, while time slips through our fingers. Blaž Abe and Luka Šepec, the "culprits" behind Itera, warn that we should not become slaves to technology and forget the preciousness of time, which is why they created a pocket watch for the 21st century.

If you like the idea, you can support it on Kickstarter.
The Sony RX1R II compact camera is the smallest full-frame compact camera. This represents the newest member of Sony's full-frame RX family of cameras and the first rise since 2013. It's even more impressive than its predecessors, which is quite an achievement given how the previous models shook up the photography world. Despite its pocket-sized 35mm lens, the RX1R II is the first camera with an optical low-pass filter that can be turned on or off.
