“The map2(GBP 8; about $13) is broken into 4 quadrants which can be individually zoomed/unfolded to give an enlarged and more detailed view of that part of the city, when the map is floded to minimum size you still have the ability to zoom in on any two sections for quick access. When the map is folded to its minimum size either of the sections facing outwards can still be quickly unfolded and refolded, allowing immediate magnification or miniaturisation. Map is printed on tear-resistant paper and includes a clear PVC wallet to keep the map.”

“Slip your Mac inside the velvety soft, padded interior. Zip it closed and your baby is nestled between two tough, rigid leather hardback covers for a solid level of impact absorbing protection. The rigid spine serves as crush protection for an additional line of defense.”
These images were taken by Anatoly Beloshchin in the cave Cenote Angelita in Mexico.

“For Spring 2010 Supra presents their low top Cuban model with some updated features, now called the Cuban 1.5. The chain that used to be on the upper was replaced with laces and we much prefer the new look. We would even go as far as saying that the Cuban has probably become the nicest low top in their range. This season it comes in 4 new colorways – TUF Black Perf, TUF White Perf, Red Canvas and Grey Canvas. Look out for a release in the coming months.”

“If you were looking for a TV that’s from the future — or just future-proof — the Samsung 9000 Series LED TV ($TBA; 2010) isn’t a bad place to start. Available in a variety of sizes, the 9000 Series sets offer a host of advanced features like a proprietary 3D processor and emitter, built-in Ethernet allowing for set-based apps like Netflix, Pandora, Twitter, and more, and a full touch-screen remote control with integrated Wi-Fi and IR that allows users to watch broadcast content and browse DLNA shares directly from the remote, sending the selected content to the main set with just a swipe.”
