Wayfare brings the world to you

Who doesn’t love to travel around and see the world up close? For the times you can’t leave your city, Wayfare is meant to bring what’s out there to you. The app is both a teaching tool and the modern-day equivalent of a pen pal. It connects you with someone to learn about their culture and home cities/countries. It’ll give you regular photo missions and let you send notes. If you guys don’t have a language in common, the app even comes with a built-in translation tool.

Get into the hottest spots in town with Eve

Have you and your friends always asked yourselves where to go on a Friday night? Eve is taking out the guesswork for you. The app gives you the ability to bypass lines and find the venues nearby in downtown Toronto. It even comes with an automatic tab closure feature for your credit card. Dubbed by the creators as “Your Personal Host,” it will let you skip lines and enter any venue on the Eve “heat map” (which lets you know how hot or busy the spot is at the time). Eve even lets you start a mobile bar tab so you no longer have to pay cover at the door and for your drinks. Just let the bartender know you are paying with Eve.

Consumer Reports debunks 'Bendgate' through a series of tests

While many might doubt Apple's own claims after showing their testing facilities to several journalists, independent and trusted publication Consumer Reports got on the case of the 'Bendgate' claims and tested both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus as well as a host of other similarly-sized smartphones by applying more than 70 pounds of force to the device's centre.

Their findings? The iPhone 6's aren't as delicate and bendy as some would like you to believe and the iPhone 6 Plus is actually more resilient than the Phone 6.

Other findings, the HTC One M8 was the weakest device found in structural tests being the first to succumb to the torture tests. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 was the toughest device in this particular test while the iPhone 5s and the LG G3 were tied at second place. So, the new iPhone 6's aren't the weakest phones out there according to Consumer Reports, "It takes a lot of force to bend these new iPhones and any other phones for that matter," end of story.

Check out their video here.
