Google’s Nexus 7 was the best small tablet of 2012. Rather than mess
with success, Google did something uncharacteristically conservative: It
made little improvements here and there and left the rest mostly as is.
The result? This year’s Nexus 7 is more low rumble than tectonic shift,
but it’s still our new favorite tablet. For now, at least.

What Is It?

the operating system is the latest and greatest pure Android experience
from Google (Android 4.3 Jelly Bean). It starts at the very easy entry

With the iPhone
having revolutionized the phone as we know it, it’s no surprise that
with the 6th-generation iPhone, it still remains one of the most popular
handsets on the market. You can hardly get on a bus, train or walk down
the street, without seeing someone with an iPhone.
As such, people have come up with lots of ways to customize their device. One of the most popular methods of making your iPhone your own is to use a case. This is a good option, however I have something that trumps it. The Color Lab.
The aluminum that comprises the back housing on the iPhone 5
can actually be chemically dyed, via a process called anodization.
Doing so creates a very unique look on your iPhone, and really makes it
stand out amongst the c

Bondsy, a new mobile app, has brought the barter system back from the grave. While sites like Ebay are great for getting rid of stuff you don’t want or need, it only allows you to get rid of items people are willing to buy. Usually things people are already looking for. Bondsy makes it easier for people to barter goods for goods instead of using currency. For example, one of the trades being talked about is a bunch of bacon for coffee beans. With Bondsy, you can literally trade anything for anything. It doesn’t have to be a physical item either. Someone has already traded T-shirts for plumbing services using Bondsy – just don’t trade to barter services that are currently illegal.
