We published an interesting fan-made teaser trailer the other day for the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness movie. Shortly after posting it, the official teaser for the movie was released. Now, word is coming from Japan that the same teaser trailer had one additional scene added to it that was excluded from the North American teaser release. First, we’ll show you the teaser itself. If you’re interested in the scene that was excluded, scroll below the video for a description and image from the Japanese teaser.   ***SPOILER IMAGE AND DESCRIPTION BELOW***   ***STOP SCROLLING IF YOU DON’T…

These days when creating an advertisement your best bet at success in gaining the attention of the viewers is by tapping into their emotional chest; building a storyline that people can relate to, that is creative and ultimately makes the viewer believe in your product is not solely based anymore on what the product is but a clever display of how the product will make you feel. …

One of the things that Americans take pride in is the way that the country and its people are technologically advanced when compared to the rest of the world. Many of us have smartphones, tablets, computers, cars, and other advanced gadgets and gizmos that keep us occupied and often informed. This does not, however, translate very well in the political arena. A year ago, most would have thought that there was no way that California could possibly vote against Proposition 37. In a state that is generally so liberal and whose people strongly condone healthy eating habits, it wouldn’t be possible…

You may notice a drop in your Pinterest followers today. Don’t worry – your popularity level hasn’t fallen. It’s just the spammers and bots that Pinterest is targeting, so the “loss” of followers won’t really be a loss at all. In fact, Pinterest estimates that 99% of users will only lose around 10 followers. It’s the bigger accounts that are going to be hit the hardest, but they won’t suffer at all in the engagement arena. Spam and bot accounts are the types that don’t really interact with you anyway so the drop is only going to sting a little in the pride department. For those who have purchased followers…

As we get amped up for the release of The Hobbit movie in a matter of days, soon we will need another film that will be worth the money once again to spend within theaters. That movie is Star Trek into the Darkness and it is coming May 17th 2013. …

To those without the technological expertise to fully understand what this all means, it could seem as a harmless measure by a government body to protect copyright materials. To anyone who knows what deep packet inspections, embedded digital watermarks, and trace-back mechanisms are, this is the most dangerous digital path the world has traveled since the internet was first conceived. The United Nations voted yesterday to support internet eavesdropping. Make absolutely no mistake about it – this is the very clear and unavoidable start of full-blown censorship. It is the beginning of the…

Holograms have been cool like forever. As an adult they are really neat to add adhesive holograms to our various cards that we carry and now we can do so easily and securely. …

Next to computers, tablets, and smartphones, our cars are often the most technologically-challenging item that we deal with on a daily basis. Every model year brings out new gadgets and gizmos that are designed to enhance, adapt, and often-times engage with other technologies that we carry with us. Tablets are used as owners’ manuals. MP3 players have become our stereos. Speakers and mics interact with our phones for hands-free driving. These are the common examples. Today’s cars can do so much more. The advertising on the OEM level often focuses on technology. Why do so few dealers do the same?…

So I pressed play and all of a sudden I heard the best Nickleback song ever… is that possible? Yes, since the entire song is about the photo sharing site, Instagram. The video pokes fun at us hardcore Instagrammers, and oddly enough what they say is true, but that is the beauty of Instagram, it makes us all feel as though we are photographers, doesn’t it? The Nickleback song “Look at this Photograph” has now been turned into “Look at this Instagram” thankfully by those over at college humor. Most certainly making anyone who enjoys the social site to burst out in laughter, I know that I had…

Many of us scour the Internet to find latest news and information on Technology; some of us end up looking on the well-known site, Mashable. Today they have launched a brand new redesign to their website and it looks a lot cleaner and more social. …
