Jump from the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, without a parachute and a take a selfie of yourself in the air smiling to your death, you still can't gather as many views as this photo..

Just as no other player in the world, other than Pele, can score more than a thousand goal, so is anyone trying to beat the number of times this photo got viewed.

Those of us who have held or own the LG G2 smartphone, which was released in August of 2013, will tell the LG smartphone is one of the best(if not the best) Android phone on the market right now.

If you are among those who complained to Apple about your iPhone 5 having a faulty sleep/wake button, the company has announced that it will fix if for free and, you can get an extra $80 for your phone when you trade it in( this information is not for every iPhone 5 owner, except for those who asked about what they could get for upgrading to a new iPhone 5S or C).

Yes no more production of phones by Nokia. Its phone business now belongs to Microsoft.

In my way of thinking, It's unprofessional for Samsung to say that about the iPhone in their video.
Samsung and Apple are not in good terms lately. You know,Apple and Samsung are currently fighting each other over claims by the US firm that Samsung violated its patent.

Who says you have to wait on a clear day to see the sky bright in blue colour? Or wait till the sun rise before you see daylight? Don't wait any longer. Soon you will be able to see blue skies in your home. You will have to thank this LED panels for replacing natural light with artificial light, and allowing those who spend most of their time indoor to feel like they are outside sitting in the sun, even at night.

Federico Guuerrini, a Forbes contributor, asked a question in his article, ''Could mobile phones save millions from illiteracy?'' I think the right answer to that question is Yes. We can use the mobile devices to fight illiteracy in developnig nations of the world.

In Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries they call it ''Hagwalah'' and I think it's one of the stupidest thing a driver would ever do. This act simply involves the passengers getting out of the car while it is still driving and changing or fixing the airborne tires. It's just crazy but entertaining. Watch the video below.

But in actual fact, they all love to have one. The recent Google Glass one day sale on Tuesday proved my point to be true. Google Glasses sold out in just a few hours when it went on sale in the US. Forget about all the on people wearing the device, It's just sheer jealousy. Everybody love Google Glass.

As you can see,  the iPhone 6(right) is being compared to the iPhone5s(left). If you look at the picture carefully, you will see that the iPhone6 is far more bigger than the iPhone5S.

"What could possibly possess a person to lodge themselves into a drain for an iPhone?"That is because they love their smartphone-- be they BlackBerry, Galaxy S5 or the iPhone-- and also love to stay up-to-date in order not miss the trending selfie(getting used to the word selfie) .

The SkineePix app cost just a dollar and can be downloaded to your device via iTunes.
