| Posted: 04 Aug 2013 09:17 AM PDT The Surface Pro, Microsoft's premier tablet device that's the reason why Windows 8 exists, is receiving a price cut of $100 to both its 64GB and 128GB models. This is shortly after the price of the Surface RT was cut by 30% after horrible sale outcomes that cost the company $900 million last quarter. The price cut took effect this weekend and seems to be here to stay, although no official word has been made to say for certain that the cut is permanent. For now, you can be sure to get the Surface Pro for $100 off until August 29th.

| Toilet Bluetooth Security Alert! Posted: 04 Aug 2013 09:14 AM PDT In my opinion, some things don't need to be upgraded, like toilets. Apparently Inax doesn't agree. They've created Satis, a new toilet currently only found in Japan that is accessible via an Android app. With the app you can control all of the toilet's functions, including jets of water and hot air that come from below. Unfortunately, so can everyone else. All the toilets are equipped with the same "0000" Bluetooth pin, making it possible for anyone with the My Satis App in range of the toilet able to control it no matter who's using the toilet. The implications should be pretty obvious.

| Posted: 04 Aug 2013 09:09 AM PDT If you haven't seen the last two seasons of BBC One's Sherlock, go watch it now! The show is absolutely phenomenal and coming back for season next year.

| Newsweek Sold to Business News Site Posted: 04 Aug 2013 09:06 AM PDT Last year we reported about how Newsweek, a popular magazine that had seen print publication for 80 years, was transitioning into a digital-only medium starting on December 31st, 2012. Less than a year after its transition, Newsweek is being sold to International Business Times. The sale doesn't come as much of a surprise since Newsweek's owner admitted in April that he regretted ever buying the magazine. Newsweek is part of a joint venture with The Daily Beast but will be sold separately. The International Business Times will operate the magazine as a subsidiary and won't change anything right away. Further details of the sale have yet to be released.
