Organize your iOS gallery with Flic

If you have been looking for an easier way to organize your iPhone’s photos, a new app may have the solution for you. Flic uses an extra simple method to help you sort through your shots. You just need to swipe left to throw it into the trash or swipe right to keep (yes, it is kind of like Tinder). It will show you how much space you are clearing with the photos you reject and it will only delete the photos once you get to the end of each month’s photos.

Google rumoured to take on WhatsApp with new messaging app

Google is looking to enter the heavily populated messaging app arena with a new product, if reports are to be believed. However, don’t confuse it for Hangouts, though. Google is reportedly creating it to be a standalone product that won’t require a Google login. It’ll be free and will launch in India first before it makes its way to “other emerging markets” next year. If it picks up over there, we won’t be surprised that it’ll make its way to this side of the world.

Review: Dyson DC78 Turbinehead Animal vacuum

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Add the requirements of keeping a household clean and you need a very dynamic type of vacuum cleaner.

The DC78 Turbinehead Animal from Dyson could very well be the perfect vacuum, and one that best deals with tougher surfaces and pet hair. Out of the box the DC78 looks and feels formidable. It is heavier and larger than previous models I tested but still retains great maneuverability and intuitive controls.

Review: BlackBerry Passport

 

Text and photos by Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

A lot of credit goes to BlackBerry for not scrimping on build and materials, not that they ever did. But by including top tier specs and boosting battery life, they've made the Passport a viable contender to many popular devices out there, specially in terms of speed and performance.

After lukewarm sales of earlier BB10 devices, BlackBerry went into restructuring mode and decided to focus on the enterprise market, which was slowly slipping away. With this in mind, they created the third device launched under CEO John Chen (the first being the Z3 and the second the super posh Porsche Design P'9983). The result is one of the most unusual smartphones ever to come to market. The big, bold and audacious Passport may just be BlackBerry’s ticket back into the mobile market.
