This lamp/purifier hybrid fills the room with light + fresh air

Taking signature Scandinavian minimalism and sensibilities to the absolute max, the Sunnaform S5 looks classy and combines a floor lamp and an air purifier into a svelte, minimalist package.

The floor-standing device comes with a large lampshade-esque design where the fabric area on the sides help diffuse the light emanating from the inside and the upper and lower open areas work as the inlet and outlet for the purifier. A silent fan at the bottom helps pull aur from the top that passes through a filter that kills bacteria and traps dust, pollen, and any PM2.5 particulate matter. Designed and manufactured in Sweden, the purifier doubles up as a lamp too, lighting the area with diffused LED lighting which can be toggled by a simple switch on the device. Understated and overtly functional, the S5 does both its jobs quite well, and looks like a device fit for any home.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Pink will only Available in Japan Tomorrow


The think-pink Galaxy S5 is about to enter the market. But the real market for it is none other than the land of the rising sun. Yes, Japan is supposed to be the real deal for the Samsung Galaxy S5....

Samsung Galaxy S5 Fingerprint Scanner Already Hacked!

It might have taken some extra time, but Samsung quickly adopted biometric security on their new S5 flagship Android phone. However, it didn’t take hackers long to figure out a way to defeat it.

Apparently, the fingerprint scanner of the S5 isn’t hard to spoof. SRLabs have been able to spoof it using a lifted print. It took them only a few minutes to create a dummy finger to allow them access to the phone. This is also true of the scanner on the iPhone 5s, however the iPhone 5s has got a password to allow access to the scanner, which the Galaxy S5 doesn’t have yet.

Hopefully, a quick software update will patch this vulnerability. PayPal has already reacted with a statement, saying that there are plenty of additional safeguards that will allow users peace of mind when using biometric security. With any luck, your money is still safe.
