With the Number of Malware Apps in Google Play Store, Do You Still Trust It?

Hidden malware is something we should always be wary of. It’s often hidden deep within apps; in fact, it can be so hidden, Google Play Store doesn’t always identify it as malware.

With the number of malware apps in Google Play Store, do you still trust it? Our Opinion To Miguel it’s not a matter of trust. Google Play Store is a platform he uses… Read more

Stick NozNoz in your nose to lose weight or perform a self-lobotomy

NEWS – I think the guy in the image above shoved the NozNoz a little too far up his schnoz and did some major brainial damage. He just looks way too happy to be pushing a small piece of plastic in his nose in order to lose a few pounds.

Are you thinking that this is a joke product? Me too, but it’snot (sorry, I couldn’t resist…). The NozNoz is a real wellness “wearable” that has been designed to help people lose weight without drugs.

Smell influences our behavior, memories and emotions and can trigger eating when not necessarily hungry, and as well as pleasure based eating. NozNoz redirects scent-filled air away from the olfactory system to reduce our sense of smell and help users on their weight management journey.

NozNoz comes two sizes that should fit a variety of snouts and If you were on the fence about possibly buying your own pair of NozNozes, the fact that they come in their own little storage case might be the determining factor for you. Or not.

You can buy the NozNoz for $59.99 at NozNoz.com.  There’s a 30-day money-back guarantee. Come on, I dare you.

Withings launches new BPM Core and BPM Connect

NEWS – Withings has been one of my favorite brands when it comes to fitness and health gadgets and now they’ve added 2 new BPMs (blood pressure monitors) to their line up of fitness watches and other health devices. The BPM Connect is an easy to use smart BPM, while the BPM Core is simple but advanced BPM.

The BPM Core is the first over the counter device that’s designed to measure blood pressure, record an electrocardiogram (ECG) and listen to your heart using its built-in digital stethoscope. Just press a button and the BPM Core will give your heart a 3-in-1 checkup all in the comfort of your home.

BPM Core checks for high blood pressure – 1 in 3 adults has high blood pressure (hypertension), which is a silent condition with no outward symptoms that can lead to heart disease and stroke.

BPM Core checks for AFib – 1 in 4 middle-aged adults has atrial fibrillation (AFib). This condition is the most common form of arrhythmia and can lead to heart failure, stroke, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Like hypertension, there can be no outward symptoms of Afib, but it can be detected via an electrocardiogram.

BPM Core checks for VHD – If you’re one of 1 in 3 adults with high blood pressure, you have a higher risk of developing valvular heart disease (VHD). This condition is characterized by a defect of the heart valves that can lead to heart failure. VHD can remain silent for a long time and people with VHD often don’t know that they have it. Early detection can be key to treating this problem.

The Withings BPM Core will be priced at $249.95 and will be available soon. You can visit withings.com for more details.

If you want a new BPM now, you can check out the new BPM Connect which is an update of their classic BPM that we reviewed over 5 years ago. The BPM Connect has been slimmed down and is simplified so that you can take and review readings without needing your phone nearby. The BPM Connect is available today for $99.95 directly from Withings.

Th Most Handy du (Disk Usage) Commands in Linux

du is a command line tool shipped with Linux that reports the amount of disk space used by directories and files.
