Anonymous calls out Donald Trump, declares ‘total war’ on him

Hacktivist group Anonymous have set their sights on Donald Trump once again. The group posted a new video recently declaring “total war” against the U.S. presidential candidate. They want to put a stop to his presidential bid by uncovering and exposing embarrassing information. Anonymous targeted him because according to the masked activist, “your inconsistent and hateful campaign has not only shocked the United States of America, you have shocked the entire planet with your appalling actions and ideas.”

The collective is asking for help to bring TrumpChicago.com on April 1^st. They’re using the hastag #OpTrump. And are also planning on taking down other personal and business sites owned by the tycoon as well as his online sites for his campaign. Anonymous has already posted unverified personal information on Trump and his staff, including his social security number.

Portable hydroelectric plant can charge your smartphone

Michael Franco/Gizmag

South Korean company Enomad made news a couple of years back when it placed mobile phone charging stations along the country's manmade Cheonggyecheon River. What was special was these stations used the force of the river to turn turbines and generate electricity. Enomad has been able to shrink that concept to fit it into a backpack. The company demonstrated it at SXSW and its also called Enomad. The bullet-shaped device is as large as a thermos and comes with a white translucent cover that hides four propellers you can place into flowing water to charge it up. You can also have it be towed by your kayak or other water vessels. You just need to get the propellers to spin and turn the internal turbine that'll charge the 5,200mAh battery. It supposedly takes about two hours to charge the device in a normally flowing stream.  

When you're finished charging you can take out the rotor section to get to the USB charging ports. It can supposedly charge an iPhone 6 roughly twice. The other use for it is you can put the cover back on and press a button to turn it into a lantern, making it the perfect companion for your outdoor adventures. Enomad plans to launch a Kickstarter project for this in early July with an expected retail price of $180 USD (around $230 CAD).
