In recent times we have seen plenty of scams in the form of vouchers,It wont be the last nor will it cease anytime soon but the latest voucher giveaway is from Boots. Again the same trick email saying you have won a €100 voucher and then you click a few links and get a giftcard, Sadly its not true so just delete the email and do not click on any link within the said email…
Again this time round they have a period of claim time to try coax you into the so called voucher,If you receive such a mail check the senders details where you will quickly find that is not from Boots at all… The header in the mail will of course say boots but view the details of the sender and you will spot it.. See below for the details..
At the end of the mail the following is also present which is well known now at this stage…

Something that’s becoming a tradition lately, is having an “Special Edition” phone from “x” line up from a strong company, but in recent times Samsung has put it “out-of-the-park” with their Limited edition models.
At the beginning of the year they brought to us the “Batman Edition” (in a trend of having superheroes theme phones, this was the best offering) and now, as sponsors of the 2016 Olympics in Rio, they have something else to show us.
The Galaxy S7 Edge Olympic Games Limited Edition
Hardware-wise is the same S7 we all know, with top-notch specs and IP67 ratings, but what makes this device unique is the outside look (as if having a dual curve functional glass on the front wasn’t enough).
With custom patterns to give the usually plain finish, some colorful details.
All of which, will match the five official color rings from the Olympics.
Another thing to have in mind is the “limited quantity” of copies are available. Only 14,516 phones ill be made, 12,500 out of which, are for the “Olympians” which will be bundled with the Gear IconX headphones, letting just 2,016 copies to consumers.
There’s still no word on price, but we can expect an extraordinary tag to the already “not so friendly” GS7 price tag.
But let us know! What do you thing about this trend of releasing “themed phones” which sometimes has nothing really important to offer, than a simple “make over“? Would you pick one up if you have the chance?
Take a look at how it would be having this “Special! model:

Join Quark Expeditions, the world leader in polar adventure travel, on an immersive 360° Virtual Reality Antarctic Experience.
A polar expedition travel first, the Quark 360° VR Antarctic Experience transports you to the 7th continent, guided by Quark’s expert expedition team, to encounter amazing wildlife and explore the breath taking natural beauty of this remote part of the world few have set foot upon.
Told through four visually stunning narratives, you will explore the Antarctic Peninsula region expedition-style. Take a Zodiac cruise amongst giant icebergs, stand amidst a penguin colony, and kayak in one of the most pristine, unspoiled environments on the planet.
The Content
Filmed using GoPro cameras on board a voyage in February 2016, the Antarctic 360° VR Experience video series showcases different ways to explore the 7th continent and offers viewers the unique opportunity to participate in key aspects of a journey: Life onboard the ship, cruising on Zodiac landing craft, exploring on the Antarctic continent, kayaking, and learning about history and wildlife from Quark’s Expedition staff.
A two-man film crew captured the spectacular 360° footage, a process that presented a few challenges. The difficult task of positioning cameras on a moving Zodiac and finding ways to stretch battery life of the GoPro cameras were a few things the duo had to overcome; but the finished product was worth the challenges in the process, film crew member Hugo King-Fretts recalls: “It was almost as if you were in a cathedral. These huge, huge walls were coming up and you’re in these small corridors where you would get surges of waves coming through. The geology, the scale of it, was just phenomenal. The awe-inspiring footage we were able to capture reflects a truly amazing experience that’s beyond description with words.”
VR App Development “The real development challenge was to create a VR app that not only showcased this amazing content but that was also accessible to an audience of young and old, both seasoned and newcomers to the VR worlds,” commented Peter Maddalena from VRCraftworks. “The drawback is that it is a big download, but this was necessary to maintain quality and to allow people with less than high end devices to get a decent taste of the experience,” he concluded.

The years on those boring and cumbersome to use GPS systems when driving are more than over now. Each day, more and more of us use our phones as a main tool on this activity.
Well, what would you say if I told you that now you can prove you’re a good driver to your insurance company and besides, get discounts while doing it?
Let me introduce Drivies a new app to help you achieve that goal.
Well! Unfortunately not all of you out there, as right now, the app is mostly focused on Spain, and ruled by deals with Telefonica.
But lets hope this changes soon, as the app is really promising.
First of all, How it works?
All you need to do is use your phone as you’d normally do with any other app, using the GPS and others sensors, the app will tell “everything” about your driving technique, how much time you spend on it and so on.
With a deal made with “Pléyade” an Spanish ensuring company, using the app will help you to get discounts. The better you drive the more you get.
Within the app you’ll find the DrivieCoins which you can exchange for discounts on the ensurance, Taxi bonus or even on GAS comsuption.
And if you’re worried cuase you are not that good while driving, the app will help you to improve and also get some money for it. (sounds good, doesn’t it?)
As you can see, the app is fairly simple but helpful. Available on Android and iOS is also totally free to download.
So, if you live in Spain and want to try it out:
You can get the Android version HERE and the iOS version HERE
What do you think of these? Would you use it if available on yout region or your insurance company? Let us know in the comment section down below.
Blackberry have been having it rough of late,even with sales of the PRIV their first Android device sales have not been great by any means,The PRIV is a unique device and stands out in the crowd with that hidden keyboard underneath its screen when I even showed people they where impressed. With new Android handsets set to come on board soon their direction is clear because they have announced they are to discontinue the Blackberry classic which is another device I own along with the Silver Passport and PRIV..
Sometimes it can be very tough to let go. For BlackBerry, and more importantly for our customers, the hardest part in letting go is accepting that change makes way for new and better experiences.
These are the tenets that help keep us focused and the reasons why we are committed to the success of both BlackBerry 10 and Android devices. To keep innovating and advancing our portfolio, we are updating our smartphone lineup with state of the art devices. As part of this, and after many successful years in the market, we will no longer manufacture BlackBerry Classic. For many years, Classic (and its BBOS predecessors) has been in our portfolio. It has been an incredible workhorse device for customers, exceeding all expectations. But, the Classic has long surpassed the average lifespan for a smartphone in today’s market. We are ready for this change so we can give our customers something better – entrenched in our legacy in security and pedigree in making the most productive smartphones.
Empire cases dont only do cases they have a wide range of accessories for you to pick from and a new addition to their catalogue is the Kids Over-Ear headphones with a built in parental volume lock,these come in a variety of colours such as Blue,Green Pink and Red to begin with. With a price of $24.99 and free worldwide shipping are they worth it,well lets see..
Disclaimer.These are a preview unit sent to us for testing..
To begin with we had no actual packaging to check out as these are a preview unit which is now in mass production and on that point we where disappointed to not have the official packaging but nice to try them out at this early stage,So we cant complain really..
On the upside the product is good,quite good to be fair,With kids these days now sporting tablets and mobiles you will see many sporting headphones to boot,but the issue here is volume control and another one to refresh your memory is how close the screen is to your childs face but Samsung took care of that with a recent app..
My daughter who is 7 has tried several headphones in her time and she enjoys some time on her tablet during the day and evening which is monitored,At times having called her I did notice from time to time she couldn’t here me but this issue is now gone due to having the option to lock the volume on the headphones manually and most importantly the child cant undo this. There is a box like fitting on the cable which requires a small philips screwdriver and you can test the volume level out yourself first then set it and lock it,the close the box up again,but a safety note I would hide the screwdriver,kids are inquisitive and will investigate and try anything especially mine since she is surrounded with tech all the time but again this is monitored and access is limited.

Comfortable sums them up too my daughter was happy with them and with adjustable arms each side again it was an easy manoeuvre for her to set to her own accord,With the both cups again lined with leather and cushioning they again made her feel comfortable,the cups also move in one direction to nestle over the ears and do not apply extra pressure making them sit nicely.
Build quality is good,flexible on the headband where kids might just spread them too much they seem they will have some longevity in them too and the plastic is easy to clean should they get and dirt on them which can be expected from kids.. Even the adjustable arms seem solid and feel like they can take a beating too and dont seem flimsy.
Sound quality is fine,nothing to write a book about but they are for kids and at that age whats provided here is enough but if you are and adult there is a notable difference in quality compared to mainstream options but again to note they are for kids and not us..
Check out our video review below and if you want to pick up a pair see HEREfor all the options available.We would like to thank Empire case again for sending these over to check out…

The app is also well presented with apps on display right from the start,Also you can pick to either download or stream the experience and then you can pick between 2K and 4K resolution.. I have tried out the apps and they are quite good..
