It’s the sad reality of technology today. With so many companies constantly testing different ways to target consumers, we end up being guinea pigs succumbing to their every whim. I think Joy of Tech hit it right on the head with their comic.
These are vintage looking light fixtures which are made from standard industrial electrical light boxes that are easily mounted to a wall for dim lighting. They feature classic comic book superhero’s such as Batman and Spiderman printed on a dictionary page mounted to the front. You can buy them on Etsy, and the Superhero Light Boxes are made by The Rekindled.
How freaking cool are these Avengers USB drives!? The flash storage drives are made by InfoThink, which is a company in China. They are selling the drives for around $899 Yuan, which is about $140 USD. The drives can hold 4GB or 8GB each, are made from metal alloy, are waterproof and only weigh about 2 ounces.
Is this what the world is coming to? I know you have been there, we all have been there. You post a Facebook status that is amazingly awesome, and only get a handful of Likes. Then someone posts something extremely retarded and gets a lot of Likes. What does one have to do to get the most likes ever? Well, it could be coming down to this very soon.
A new comic book series has been published in China, called Captain China. The comic is very real, and as you might guess it’s pro-China. Captain China dawns a superhero outfit of China’s national flag with a Chinese military hat to match, and has been brought back to life in modern day to show the growth of China’s economy and China’s world power.
Well I’m sure this will raise some eyebrows. DC Comics is relaunching the Green Lantern series, which has been a staple of comic book history for the past 70 years. Green Lantern is coming back, or shall I say coming out, and he is arriving with a twist.
A few days after the Facebook IPO, which made Mark Zuckerberg a billionaire, Facebook’s COO Sheryl Sandberg gave a speech to the 2012 graduating class of Harvard Business School. Incidentally, Sandberg became a billionaire as well. During her speech, in a half-whimsical way she uttered these words: “Keep in touch via Facebook; this is critical to your future success. And since we’re public now, could you click on an ad or two while you’re there?” Yeah.
I saw the Avengers last weekend and the movie was amazing, and has the box office results to prove it. The Avengers are breaking all kinds of records. To date, they have already made $1 billion globally. So, it’s no wonder that the Avengers comic illustrations are coming out of the woodwork, with some real gems. Here are a few I hand picked from Deviant Art that show some real talent and ability.
Let’s say Superman and Batman were sitting at a cafe, and Superman pulled out his communication device - the device being an iPhone 4S with Siri. And then Batman pulls out his Batphone. Would you say the Batphone trumps the iPhone? Watch this video and find out!
He is a masterful artist of monsters, devils, pinup girls, cars and motorcycles. David Vicente has a unique illustration style often seen in tattoos, car artwork, logos, magazines, comic books, stickers and posters.

Google caused a bit of a media firestorm after announcing the Google Glass Project, unveiling the new Google glasses. But, if the glasses do get mass-produced, the real question is how will the average person use them?
While on the recent subject of Batman and the Batcave, have you seen the History of the Batmobile from Car Insurance? It’s pretty neat as it covers the entire timeline of the famous bat-wheels from inception to current and all the changes and transformations it has gone through. When you think about it, it doesn’t seem like there would be a lot, but with over 70 years of the Batmobile there have been many changes to it, both small and large.
Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound; it’s Superman! Being a superhero isn’t easy, but playing one just got a lot easier and more fun because the official Superman game is now available on the Apple iPhone and iPad. The game looks awesome and has that classic comic book feel to it. Other games for mobile devices may not hold a candle to this one. If anyone is able to set the standard, it’s going to be Superman.
With the launch of iOS5 and iPhone 4S comes a new featured app called Newsstand. With Newsstand, you can purchase newspapers and magazines through iTunes, just like with iBooks and have it stored in the new app.
