Learn Klingon with Duolingo

Nope. This isn't an April Fool's joke. There will come a time when you will be able to learn Klingon online. Duolingo just announced that they'll be carrying a Klingon course. For those who don't know, Klingon is the fictional language on Star Trek. It was created by Marc Okrand. According to Duolingo the language is quite direct and mixes in sense of humour and "plenty of insults." It revolves largely around "spacecraft, weaponry, and warfare." Of course, we don't have to tell the Trekkies that. But if this seems to be something you'd be interested in. You can have Duolingo let you know when the course is up. Now, if someone can teach me Sindarin, that would be awesome.

Gillette unveils Avengers-inspired razors

In a savvy marketing move or a delayed April Fool's joke, Gillette pulled a stunt aimed at the fans of Marvel's The Avengers. Just ahead of the release of Avengers: Age of Ultron, Gillette said they partnered with Stark Industries (yes, Tony Stark's empire) to create four prototypes inspired by four characters from the franchise: Iron Man, The Hulk, Captain America, and Thor. The models are named Repulsor1, the XLGamma, and Thunder. It's kind of easy to tell which model belongs to which superhero. Marketing ploy it may be, it's an entertaining one. Now, imagine how many of these they'd sell if it actually went into production.

How the Apple Watch in-store preview process works

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Having this one-on-one interaction with another human being and being able to get up close and personal with the watches changes a lot of perceptions one might have. Looking at photos and videos doesn't do justice to how the watch looks and feels in real life.

Toronto: Select journalists were invited to experience the Apple Watch in-store preview process. Taking place at the Eaton Centre Apple Retail Store this morning, interested customers who procured an appointment with Apple specialists we're given the opportunity to look at the various Apple Watch Editions, try them on for size, as well as deliberate on which strap or bracelet to outfit their new wearable.

Apple doesn't ship the Watch until April 24 but pre-orders for the Watch began earlier this morning. Supplies for various Apple Watch models are constrained and even those who got in early on pre-orders will be getting their Watches sometime in June.

Once a customer comes for their appointment. They pass over a glass covered display which shows the entire line of Watch, Sport and Edition edition Apple Watches. They can gaze and choose the ones they think they want before heading over to where an associate escorts them to a special table.
