Effective waterproofing for your iPhone

February 13, 2012 by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s been the downfall of many a mobile phone and hasn’t really had a notable adversary up this point. But thanks to Liquipel, water is about to be struck from the record as the enemy of the mobile. Dropping your mobile into your morning coffee, the kitchen sink or even the toilet (admit it, it happens) won’t be as consequential as it used to be thanks to Liquipel who have created a clear coating that will protect mobile phones from most forms of water damage.

This coating is apparently made out of pure nanotech which is ‘bled’ into every part of the phone and it doesn’t matter what model the phone is. For those of us who like our phones slim it also won’t make the profile of the mobile device any bigger.

This coating is apparently ‘1,000 times thinner than a human hair,’ according to Danny McPhail, the co-president of Liquipel. This is essentially an impermeable coating that will be absorbed into every possible opening of your phone.

To demonstrate how well it works at the Liquipel booth at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show an iPhone 4 protected by Liquipel was dunked into water and then removed to show that it still worked perfectly.
While Liquipel is highly effective it is not 100% waterproof and users should not go out there trying to prove that it is. The Liquipel website states: “Just because your device has been further protected it does not mean it can be used in this way. It is similar to buying a case for your device and asking to throw it at the ground.”

Prices of Liquipel start from USD59 and go up to USD79.

Codename Apollo – Windows 8 phone specs

February 3, 2012 by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Lumia range of Windows phones from Nokia were a hit and now the Windows 8 range are set to be real scorchers!

The platform for these phones has been named “Apollo” and the focus is to have a broad range of phones to choose from, ranging from economical to expensive so that everybody can get a taste of the goodness.

The phone features include a total of four new screen resolutions, dual-core CPU’s, MicroSD support, and NFC (which was not a feature of Lumia smartphones).

With the US$8.5-billion purchase of Skype by Microsoft, the Lumia range is a great place to put it to good use. Skype will be incorporated into the Apollo OS at such a deep level that users won’t be able to tell the difference between VoIP calls and analogue.

More features:

  • No more Zune desktop integration with a synching app replacing it
  • A camera app that supports “lenses”,  now third parties can add features like “skins” to the photo app
  • Carrier-owned hotspots with automatic connection
  • Bitlocker encryption will be a part of the Apollo range
  • SkyDrive will be integrated into all of the Apollo devices
  • There might also be an equivalent to Google Wallet depending on the network operator

Strip poker on display in New York art gallery window

February 3, 2012 by

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you’re looking for even more excitement in your live poker games you’ve just missed out on a great opportunity!

A game of strip poker ran throughout November last year in the shop window of the Art in General Gallery in Manhatten. There was no cash on the table but there were plenty of clothes in this installation piece by Zefrey Throwel who is well known for pushing nudity in his art that sometimes result in arrests.

In August 2011 he also got a group of about 50 people to dress up as office workers in a piece called Ocularpation: Wall Street. The ‘office workers’ then stripped down to nothing, giving morning commuters something different to look at.

The strip-poker installation was apparently a comment on capitalism – what exactly it was trying to say is beyond us though. Throwel did say that he was “trying to illuminate a dark cranny in the financial world.”

Throwel invited people without stimpulating any dress requirements so many arrived with 10 extra layers while some just wore jeans and t-shirts so that they could get down to the ‘bare essentials’ sooner.

Whether you enjoy playing poker with or without clothes you can do so at PokerTime or play our video poker games at Platinum Play.
