It makes things easier when you don’t want to wait for your online order to get shipped to you directly. Last September, Amazon began installing lockers in 7-elevens and other places to give people the option of picking up their package at a convenient time, sometimes on the same day. Well, Walmart is now testing this space for their own stores. Read the rest of this article…

Patent drawing for the Glass competitor.
Google Glass looks awesome, something I thought that only Google could pull off. That doesn’t stop the competition from trying to grab their share of the market, though.

Google Adds Search Filter To Find Animated GIFs, Because Why Not?
Emma Stone, because yes.
I collect a lot of animated GIFs for later use in forums and y’know, whatever. It’s so much easier to convey emotion with an animated GIF than to type out what you feel.

The problem is that after my Droid DNA went on the fritz and was replaced, I can’t use HTC’s unified mail app for all my different email accounts. Read the rest of this article…
