50% More Battery Life?

Posted: 02 Jun 2013 05:01 AM PDT

Laptops are great. Many people make use of a laptop daily nowadays for work, school and/or personal matters. Their portability makes them desirable, but almost all have the same issue – short battery lives. In order to get a laptop to last more than a few hours, you have to tone down the brightness until you practically need an outside source of light and micro your applications. Intel's Haswell claims to alleviate that problem and increase your laptop's battery life while also increasing performance.

Fitwall – The Next Big Workout Machine

Posted: 02 Jun 2013 04:58 AM PDT

Fitwall is a brand new piece of workout equipment that is already making waves in the health and fitness community in La Jolla, California. Josh Weinstein decided to set up his base of operations for his new fitness studio in La Jolla to launch Fitwall, an innovative new fitness machine that hooks you up to a heart rate monitor while you workout on what almost looks like a shelved wall.

The Fitwall stands 7.5 feet tall and has four 'shelves' for feet holds and four 'shelves' for grips. You use an iPad, which attaches onto the Fitwall while you're exercising, to monitor your heart rate and workout rate/intensity. Once you're hooked up, you're ready to perform one of the more than 900 exercises available to you – although most people stick with the popular 14 exercise routine.

Hulu Offered $1 Billion by 3 Companies

Posted: 02 Jun 2013 04:55 AM PDT

Hulu, the video streaming service currently owned by News Corp and Walt Disney Co, has three offers on the table to be bought out by DirecTV and two other companies for more than a billion dollars. This isn't quite as big of a bet as Yahoo's acquisition of Tumblr – Hulu has four million subscribers and brings in $700 million annually – but it is still quite a bit of money considering News Corp and Walt Disney Co couldn't sell it back in 2011.

Rivers on Mars

Posted: 02 Jun 2013 04:49 AM PDT

In the scientific community, everything is theoretical until it can be proven without a shadow of a doubt. Unfortunately, doubt has a pretty long shadow and it often takes a long time – if ever – to get out from under it. Years ago, scientists claimed that there was once water on Mars. Now, they're ready to prove it and turn theory into fact.
