Beyond Ink is the Swiss Knife of smart pens

Beyond Ink Pen - Smart Pen from beyondinkpen on Vimeo.

Beyond Ink's Pen is a multifunctional writing instrument that can be used as a trusty rollerball, a stylus for mobile devices, a 16GB USB drive for digital storage and it is also a 1000 mAh backup battery for your smartphone. All of this in a pocketable supersized pen that still remains true to the basic functionality of a writing instrument but with many useful and thoughful extras.

"There will always be a need for a nice pen, but there are no rules saying they can’t evolve like everything else,” said Emanuel Daniel, founder of Canadian startup Beyond Ink. “We set out to create the perfect hybrid of style and substance, and I think once people try it, there will be no going back.”

Facebook’s ‘Safety Check’ acts up following Pakistan bombing

One of the useful Facebook features is its “Safety Check,” which lets its users check in following a natural disaster or attack in an area. It seems to be acting up a bit though and has started to ask users who are nowhere near the Lahore Park explosion in Pakistan to check in. The tragedy has already killed 50 people. It’s not clear what’s causing the issue from Facebook’s end. But let’s hope it isn’t affecting those who are actually in Pakistan who want to reach out to their loved ones and say they’re okay.
