You thought cyan Lumia was rad, man? You haven't seen anything. Cyan is pretty much just bright blue, let's be honest. Blue. Blue is for babies. Blue is for muppets. How about a pink so scorching, people will scream? In pain? More »

Quora Is Raising At A $400M Valuation, With D?Angelo Putting In His Own Money

It's really beautiful outside. Like so beautiful if San Francisco is like this more often it will become really expensive to live here. Also, Quora is raising money according to the multiple people in the past week. From what I've heard, the startup wants to raise between $30 to $50 million in its Series B, at a $400 million valuation -- an amount which strangely enough seems modest in light of the billion dollar rounds being thrown about willy nilly.

This Philips Wake-Up Light Is Your The-Dawn-Is-Your-Pawn Deal of the Day [Dealzmodo]

Early mornings are wonderful. Waking up to the warm sun gently rising, reaching out to shine on my room. The birds perched outside my window, singing delicate songs as I rise to greet a new day. It's all pretty magical—occasionally. To be honest, I really don't want to wake up that early. The sun seriously needs to piss off. And those birds? Atonal. Hate 'em. But now I have the Philips Wake-Up Light, and I control the sunrise. You see, the Wake-Up Light simulates a rising sun, gradually getting brighter and playing gentle nature noises at whatever time I want. Hey heliocentric orbit! You sir, can go to hell. More »
