Lumio – The Coolest Lamp you’ve ever seen.

Whether you’re a minimalist, an avid reader, or someone who just has general appreciation for things that meld modern and practical design elements into one – you’ll love the Lumio. The Lumio is essentially a book that folds out to become an illuminated lamp.  No really. Check out the video below.   As you will also notice, they’re currently undergoing their Kick-Starter campaign.  And with 20 days remaining, they’ve already been OVER-Funded (doesn’t surprise me).  Kick ass technology and innovation deserves kick-ass funding.  So head on over, and give them your support!

Rise of the Angel Investor [INFOGRAPHIC]

Rise of the Angel Investor [INFOGRAPHIC]

As a start-up founder, co-founder, or entrepreneur maybe you have imagined how awesome it would be to go into an event and be able to instantly tell through some devine magic who were the exact people you needed to talk to give your company the financial jumpstart it needs.  Maybe you thought that the only way to obtain these types of ‘magical’ talents was through learning as much as you can about the industry, (particularly fund-raising and all the types of ’rounds’ that accompany it so you could impress your prospective investors with the language you think they expect you to know) what types of business models exist, what types of traffic channels deliver the best results, and so forth.. ..Certainly..these are all good subjects that should be studied as a start-up founder/entrepreneur. ..But.   What if there was an easier way?   ..I imagine that right now you’re feeling a bit like Alice. Tumbling down the rabbit hole? I can see it in your eyes. You have the...

Kindle Fire and iPad Mini Taking Off

Kindle Fire and iPad Mini Taking Off

A new report from ad platform Millennial Media has revealed that tablets alone accounted for a substantial amount of impression growth, with Android devices coming full fledged.  Of the Android devices, the Kindle Fire and Samsung tablets were the two dominant share holders with a combined total of 41% of the tablet market, compared to 58% for Apple.     When taking a look at the screenshot below it’s apparent that the Smartphone share of mobile devices also grew considerably from 68% to 75%.  Non-Phone connected devices (Tablets) also growing 5% and most unsurprisingly, Feature Phones regressing from 17% in 2011, down to 5% in 2012.   Millennial notes that Android continues to take up more places in the top 20 mobile phones list on its platform, while Apple continues to reign as the market leader with its own devices generating oustanding traffic from just the few core devices.  The iPad mini in particular, was among Apple’s strongest performers, growing its share of impressions at an average rate of...

Google Glass – One Thing You Probably Haven’t Heard Yet

With all the buzz that myself and the rest of the tech/mobile blogs out there have been creating for Google’s Project Glass as of late, there’s something that I stumbled upon that many of you may not have even thought about – yet.  Something that was actually spotted after an ‘extensive look’ of the device by The Verge.  It is said that,   “The device gets data through Wi-Fi on its own, or it can tether via Bluetooth to an Android device or iPhone and use its 3G or 4G data while out and about. There’s no cellular radio in Glass, but it does have a GPS chip.”   While it’s unclear what this type of compatibility will entail, it does infer that Glass will be able to use iPhone’s data connection.  It was previously acknowledged that Google Glass will be able to send text messages, however whether it will work with an iPhone in this manner has not been determined.   As an UPDATE to my article I...
