Do you always press snooze whenever your alarm clock wakes you up in the morning? For sure, that 5 more minutes will turn into 1 hour.  It's just so hard to resist the allure of your beloved bed.

The singNshock gives out electric shock once you press the button, and sends microvolts that will definitely jump-start your day! The amount of this electricity is just enough to trigger brain functions, but this feature is actually optional, though. 

This gadget is a combination of alarm clock and a music player. singNshock features a touchscreen interface and its sides are LED illuminated. It can also store music of up to 32GB  so you can wake up in the morning to your much-loved song.

How to Upgrade Your Laptop


In general, it's simple to have minor upgrades on laptops. Here are some of the laptop parts that you can upgrade cheaply and easily:

RAM

RAM is perhaps the easiest component to upgrade. It’s cheap, easy to install, and an effective way to boost performance. In most laptops, you simply remove a couple screws to release a panel on the bottom, then slide the RAM into an empty slot and replace the panel.

Hard Drive

The most important part of a hard drive upgrade is making sure your files are either backed up or that you’ll be able to access them after the replacement. A common method of accomplishing this is to copy files to an external hard drive, or to put your old hard drive in an external enclosure.

Optical Drive

Note that optical drives are getting steadily less useful as more and more types of content are distributed online. You may have better luck installing a second hard drive in that optical drive bay, especially if you're looking to add an SSD boot drive to your system. This is made easy with optical drive caddies, available with mounting instructions.
  
LCD Screen

It is possible to replace your LCD screen, but usually only with an identical model. However, certain higher-end notebooks like the HP Envy and Dell XPS do offer upgraded screens as an option, and it may be possible to find those screens from eBay, Amazon, and the like.

Google Launches A New Multi-Player Game, Ingress



Niantic Labs, the smartphone app team of Google has launched Ingress, a multi-player gaming platform that transforms your real location into a virtual world.

The application is based on the premise that European scientists discovered a strange energy and it should be controlled before it can control you.

But Ingress isn’t a game you play while you're sitting on the couch. You are required to make actual movement and go outside to be able to unlock new adventures, weapons and features. For instance, to capture things named as “portals” — which emit matter from creative locations like libraries and museums — you need to go there. After connecting 3 portals, you can form one region and claim one territory.

So if you're in Times Square, the built-in scatter map technology of this app is aware where you are and puts a virtual layer to it. It gets you to real landmarks and statues in order to continue your game. Also, this platform works in rural areas!

Ingress can be downloaded for free on Android through Google Play

4 Best Tips to Save Time for Businesses on Tumblr




Most small businesses know the benefits that come with having a blog. Today, what they’re looking for is the easiest option that won’t require too much time and effort. The millions of users on Tumblr make the platform pretty appealing for small business. It’s also user-friendly and straightforward when it comes to navigating.

But you have a business to run, so you don’t have time to hang out on Tumblr all day. So, here are plenty of time-saving tips that will make it seem like you’re Tumbling 24/7.

1. Plan Ahead

The queue is your best friend. This feature lets you schedule posts over a period of hours or days. It’s a simple way to stay active while not actually spending all of your time on Tumblr. It’s also a great way to maintain consistency. Rather than coming back to Tumblr multiple times in a day, you can set aside a small amount of time to prepare content for the next day, or even week.

2. Reblog Relevant Content

One of the best ways to get the most out of Tumblr is to engage with other blogs that are valuable to you. Reblogging makes your Tumblr page a destination for great content with little work on your end. What sort of users would provide relevant content to curate? Tumblr has a number of great discovery features — like Spotlight and the tagging system — that will point you to the best pages to follow.

3. Use the Bookmarklet

Tumblr’s bookmarklet is a great resource for quick posts. Rather than opening a new window every time you find something interesting while browsing the web, there’s a button that will upload content to your blog in seconds.

4. Sync Up

It’s generally not wise to rely solely on Tumblr (or any one social platform for that matter) for your small business. Consider Tumblr a place to show character and gain brand awareness, rather than utilizing it as your company website.

Since your small business likely already has other social platforms, you can fix your blog settings to automatically post to Twitter and Facebook each time you post something on Tumblr. That way, you don’t waste time personally posting to each platform.
