With Google Glass expected to come to market later this year, some very interesting apps too are in the development pipeline, one of which promises to boost your sex life! ‘Sex with Glass’ or just ‘Glance’ is an app being developed to allow partners having sex to see themselves from their partner’s point of view.
The app being developed by students based out of London, offers couples the chance to “see everything, from every angle” while making love, using a pair of linked-up headsets. The Glance app films a video of the tryst, so you can watch it later when all is said and done.

To get started, just say, “OK Glass, it’s time,” and the app will begin streaming what your partner sees in front of your own eyes. If you feel like stopping everything, just say, “OK Glass, pull out”. The app then puts the footage together and shows a video of the “whole thing”, but the video will be deleted after five hours unless you save it.
To make use of the app, both partners indulging will need to wear Google Glass during the act. The voyeur app lets you see two different perspectives seamlessly- that of you and your partner’s. It changes the way you experience something intimate, claims the developers’ website. The project was conceptualized at a Wearable Tech Hackathon.
The app has gained huge traction even before its release!
After months of testing, Twitter finally rolled out a new design that makes the popular micro-blogging service look a lot similar to Facebook. Twitter’s blog post, a couple of hours back announced the website’s revamped looks.
Though the changes are mostly cosmetic and seem to focus on image resizing, the introduction of “pinned tweets” allows users to stick a specific tweet to the top of their own timeline, similar to how the old Facebook status would remain in place. That pinned tweet functions much like a promoted tweet for your profile. Twitter now also highlights those tweets that have the most engagement by displaying them slightly larger than the others.
With this development, two of the world’s most traffic generating websites- Twitter and Facebook, look shockingly similar. Both have a giant, widescreen background image with a little square box towards the lower left corner of the background photo which is in all wisdom meant for displaying your photo or a “profile picture” in Facebook lingo.

The introduction of larger images reflect Twitter’s ambition to become a bigger player in the photo sharing arena. The micro-blogging service had recently introduced the ability to upload four photos in a single tweet, as well as the feature to tag photo in the background of images, instead of wasting space in the tweet itself.
In short, here are main features of Twitter’s new web profile:
Best Tweets: Tweets that experience most engagement will appear slightly larger than the other Tweets.
Pinned Tweet: You can now pin one of your Tweets to the top of your page. It could be an away message, promoting your own website, or a tweet reflective of your online persona.
Filtered Tweets: Now you can choose which timeline to view when checking out other profiles. It’s now possible to filter tweets posted by other people by opting to see only tweets or tweets with photos or videos, or tweets and their replies.
The new profile changes have kicked in today for some of us and will be automatic for new users. Over the week, it will be gradually rolled out for other Twitter users as well. At the bottom of its blog post, Twitter has added a list of “celebrity” accounts that already sport the new design, including The United States’ First Lady, Michelle Obama’s Twitter account.
While it’s certainly a lot of changes for an “accustomed” Twitter user, the new profile still manages to look relatively clean. The looks seem more aesthetic now. Well that’s our take. What do you think of the changes? Or do you have something more to add to the story? Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

This is one of the best documentaries that chronicles the rise and fall of the early 2000’s dot-com bubble. This film follows the lifespan of govWorks.com, a startup website during that time, from when the founders gave their notice at Goldman Sachs to when the company filed for bankruptcy. The film educates you that launching a business based solely on an idea can be a disaster; one must do thorough research to see if it’s viable and can last.
This is a story of the American dream to corporate greed. New York stockbroker, Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) goes from penny stocks and integrity to IPOs and a life of graft in the late 80s.

It depicts the story of George Jung (Johnny Depp) and his journey as a cocaine dealer and his fascinating rags-to-riches story.

One of the greatest piece of cinema in the world based on the book by the same name. The Godfather is the story about the growth of a small family business which eventually becomes the largest organised crime family in New York.

“Impossible Is Nothing” – And nothing else can prove that more than this inspiring story.
This is the untold story of how one of Southern Thailand’s best football clubs- Panyee FC started off in a little floating village with no football grounds.
The Football pitch built from old scraps of wood and fishing rafts
A group of Thai kids wanted to play soccer, but didn’t have any space in their coastal village. So they built a pitch from old scraps of wood and fishing rafts. After making it to the Semi-Final on an inland tournament, all the villagers were inspired to take up the sport. They built a brand new pitch, although the wooden one still remains and is popular among tourists. As of today, Panyee FC is one of the most successful youth soccer clubs in Southern Thailand, and the boys who built the pitch back in 1986 are now grown men.
This story is a parable about an increasingly rare quality in our world- “ownership”. These kids succeeded not because they were provided with facilities, but because they seized the opportunity to build one. In doing so, they created their own micro-culture, their own rules and their own space.
“Belief in Self” leads to a podium finish
They say – “Where There Is A Will, There Is A Way”; but after facing some really crunching situations in life, I started saying- “Where There Is No Way, What Use Is The Will?”
But now after watching this video, I say- “Where There Is No Way, Use Your Will To Make A Way”
