Nike releases World Cup-inspired animated short "The Last Game"

The World Cup is one of the most exciting global events for sports fans to enjoy. Occuring every four years, the tournament brings together the best of the best from every club worldwide. In anticipation of this, and to highlight their new soccer-focused offerings, Nike Football released an amazing animated short entitled "The Last Game". The story revolves around a futuristic company known as "Perfect, Inc" who has found a flaw in the way the game of soccer is played. Calling today's superstars "imperfect" and "mistake-prone", they set out to replace our favorite players with "clones" that play with precision and flawless execution.

What unfolds is a heart-warming story of passion and love for the game using the hashtag #RiskEverything.

Watch it below and let us know what you think!

Thalmic unveils the go-to-market design of their MYO armband

Waterloo, ON-based startup Thalmic has come a long way in a seemingly very short period of time. After catapulting to fame with their long-awaited, gesture-controled armband "MYO", Thalmic was able to secure a large round of investment; pulled in some amazing Canadian talent; and, finally, unveiled the final design of the product that has the tech world in a tizzy.

Gone is the archaic-looking armband that has been shown off at countless tech conferences, and in its place is a piece of technology that is as attractive as it is wearable. For those of us who have purchased the MYO, the new design features a series of rectangular blocks connected together by slim lines, measuring at almost half the thickness of the original prototypes.

The Myo armband is available to pre-order for $149 and is expected to ship to developers next month and for the general public sometime this fall.

Review: Belkin QODE "Thin Type" keyboard case for the iPad Air 

The last time I reviewed a Bluetooth keyboard for the iPad was the Logitech Ultra-thin keyboard case. It was, and is, a great option for those like me who are on the go constantly, and rely on the convenience of their iPad to get a lot of work done. Issue is, every time something good is released, chances are there is someone in the woodwork readying something that much better.

Such is the case with the QODE thin type keyboard from Belkin.

Taking cues from its competition and rectifying the subtle inconsistencies, I feel like Belkin worked as close as they could with Apple to make a product so good, it could (should) be considered OEM.

Let’s take a deeper look at why this keyboard is worth every penny of the investment.
