Pay What You Want: 5 Years of Zoolz Cloud Backup

Posted on 18/03/2016 by Alexandru Chiuariu

In the age of the cloud, you can have access to any file you have, anytime you want. Now that the technology is in place, the only problem remains the price, but a 5-year subscription to Zoolz can help you with that, too.

Storing your files in the cloud brings two immediate benefits. First of all, you can access those files whenever you need them, as long as you have Internet access. Secondly, the cloud represents a secure way of storing files that you wouldn’t want to lose. Hard drives and even SSDs are often susceptible to failure, especially if you use RAID, and losing files with sensitive information can prove to be a nightmare. In this context, affordable solutions such as the 5-year subscription to Zoolz offered by Walyou Deals can provide you with some much needed peace of mind.

For this Pay What You Want deal, you can either get 100GB of backup storage, or beat the average price and get access to the 500GB backup plan, as well. Zoolz’s solution doesn’t typically come cheap, but deals such as the one we have now can really turn it into a bargain.

Two of the main advantages of Zoolz is that the interface is easy to use and the backups are fast. After all, no one wants to wait a few days to upload just a few files.

Bear in mind that the backup plans are divided in two, so you get 250GB of cloud storage and 250GB of instant vault storage, if you decide that the 500GB backup storage is what you need. Even so, you can add files and restore them whenever you want.

Another great thing about Zoolz is the multi-platform capability. You can use it on desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets, regardless of the operating system running on any of them. Obviously, you can access the Web interface on any of them, but for mobile devices, Zoolz has gone the extra mile, and has developed mobile apps. That definitely makes things easier when you’re on the go.

At the time of writing, the average price was $10.10. Beating this price enables you to get both packages included in the bundle. Furthermore, entering the leaderboard at any time while the deal is still on provides you an entry to the current giveaway, The $1000 Apple Store Giveaway. As usual, 10% of all proceeds are directed to a charity, in this case, Save the Children.

To get the 5-year subscription to Zoolz Cloud Backup, head over to Walyou Deals and either pay $1+ to get the 100GB backup plan, or beat the average to have the 500GB backup plan added. Considering that the package has a combined value of $325 and that you can get it for much less, if you’re concerned about the safety of your files, this is a deal you can’t afford to miss.

Teach Your Kids Engineering with the Piper Raspberry Pi Computer Kit

Posted on 16/03/2016 by Alexandru Chiuariu

As a parent, if you discover that your children have an affinity for engineering and electronics at a very early age, you have a duty to nourish that passion.

Raspberry Pi computers come as cheap as $5 (the recently launched Raspberry Pi Zero costs that much), but complex kits such as the one currently featured in our store aren’t that expensive, either, despite the great number of additional modules.

The Piper computer kit, which measures 14.7? × 2.9? × 10.5? and tips the scale at 5.2 pounds, is based on the Raspberry Pi 2 mini computer. This is a very capable piece of hardware even on its own, but the added components are the things that make it shine. Piper has included in the wooden computer case an LCD screen, a Lithium battery, a speaker, bread boards, buttons, switches and LED lights. There’s even a screwdriver included in the package, so you can proceed to assembling the computer right after getting it out of the box.

What’s truly great about the Piper Raspberry Pi kit is that it takes an age-appropriate approach to teaching engineering and electronics. Assuming that your kid is 7+ years old, you can get him or her this kit and see how a young person’s curiosity can lead to projects you couldn’t have thought of as an adult.

Minecraft is brought into play in order to make learning engineering even more approachable. Progressing through each of the game’s levels implies connecting different pieces of hardware to the Raspberry Pi. Since there are LED lights, motion sensors, buzzers, buttons and switches to tinker with, there is a great number of ways everything could be interconnected.

To get access to extra levels and sharing capabilities, you’d have to connect the Piper Raspberry Pi kit to a Wi-Fi network. It’s incredible to think that such a low-priced computer has wireless connectivity on top of everything. Come to think of it, this makes perfect sense, since the kit was built to be portable, and even includes a Lithium battery for that purpose. That basically means that kids can move around while playing with this, in case the environment influences their creativity.

In other news, Western Digital has just launched WD PiDrive, a 314GB hard-disk that’s specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi. As this mini computer is extremely cheap, WD’s HDD couldn’t have represented a great addition to it if it weren’t affordable, too. At $46, which is how much this piece of storage costs, Western Digital’s product definitely meets our expectations.

In the next 6 days, you can buy the Piper Raspberry Pi computer kit on Walyou Deals for $239, a 18% discount from the original price of $295. All sales are final, and orders are shipped for free, with deliveries expected to take place between March 25 and 28. Don’t miss this opportunity to teach your kids electronics and engineering in a manner that’s appropriate to their age!

Save Big on a Lifetime Subscription to SitePoint Premium

Posted on 15/03/2016 by Alexandru Chiuariu

SitePoint Premium represents the ultimate resource for software developers and designers, so a lifetime subscription to this library isn’t something you’d want to miss.

Web developers and designers wouldn’t be wrong by calling SitePoint Premium their second home. With more than 70 eBooks written by industry experts, and in excess of 200 hours of tutorials, this library is the single thing to check in the pursuit of learning how to code.

SitePoint Premium tech courses touch upon key coding frameworks such as Foundation, Zend Framework 2, Backbone.JS, new techniques that include Google Maps API, HTML5 video w/ JavaScript, and workplace essentials like Git, project management, WordPress, content strategy. On top of that, there are courses that can teach you new coding languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, PHP, MySQL, in case you’re looking for a new challenge in your coding life.

Basically, if there’s something that can help building the Web in a better way, SitePoint’s founders Mark Harbottle and Matt Mickiewicz will make sure that there is a tutorial, eBook, article or course to cover it thoroughly.

New screencasts are added every week, new courses every fortnight, and a new eBook every month. That means that you’ll always be up to date with what’s happening in the software development world, and that once you pay for the lifetime subscription to SitePoint Premium, you will not get outdated content.

While you are able to stream the courses both on the web and on mobile devices, you won’t be able to download the 70+ eBooks on the latter. Other than that, as long as you have Internet access, you can pick up something new from SitePoint Premium.

It should be noted that there’s both online and offline access, meaning that you’re actually able to download any and all course videos whenever you want. Having to choose out of so many frameworks and platforms can turn out to be confusing, so you’d better start with one at a time, and see as you go which technologies work the best together.

At the end of each course, you’ll be able to get a certification of completion. Supposing that you’re looking for a job or are interested in changing jobs, such certifications are hard proof of your coding skills.

For 3 more days, you can get the lifetime subscription to SitePoint Premium tech courses at a heavily discounted price on Walyou Deals. Instead of $450, which is how much these tech courses typically cost, you’ll only pay $49. Since you’re able to save 89%, if you’re interested in mastering coding frameworks and in learning new techniques, then look no further.

All sales are final, and since access to SitePoint Premium is granted in digital form, you’ll be able to redeem your purchase right away. Moreover, this being a digital product means that you can order it from anywhere in the world.

Pay What You Want: Hardcore Game Dev Bundle

Posted on 13/03/2016 by Alexandru Chiuariu

Game development, once a field only for the ones willing to spend big on acquiring the skills, can now be learned for less than the price of a meal.

The Hardcore Game Dev Bundle, which is now available on Walyou Deals with a Pay What You Want scheme, enables people wanting to become game developers to get 108+ hours of learning materials for just a few bucks.

Build iPad, iPhone & OS X Games for SpriteKit in Swift, the first course in the bundle, takes a learning-by-doing approach, as it means to teach you how to code by building games. At the end of the 6 hours of content, you’ll know how to create 5 games for iOS and OS X.

The following course, Game Developer Business & Legal Guide: Run an Indie Studio, should appeal to indie game developers who don’t know just yet all of the legal and business issues related to this industry.

iOS & OS X Game Development: From Start to Store in Swift won’t help you only to master SpriteKit, GameplayKit & Xcode, but it also covers the research of the competition and the execution of a marketing plan.

2048: Build Your First Complete Game with C# & Unity, as its name suggests, will help you clone the 2048 game using nothing but Unity3D and C#. By adding animations and other visual enhancements, you’ll be able to create a superior version of that addictive game.

Learn to Code in Game Maker Language means to teach you the fundamentals of GML.

Last, but definitely not least, JavaScript Programming: Learn by Making a Mobile Game features tips on how to create a multi-level game, something that you’ll actually get to do at the end of the course.

At the time of writing, getting all ten courses required you to pay at least $10.71. Beating the leader price takes $54.00, but making it into the leader board at anytime grants you a free entry into the I Will Teach You To Be Rich giveaway. As usually, 10% of all proceeds go to the featured charity, in this case Save the Children. Since the courses come in digital format, you’ll be able to redeem them right after making the payment.

Rock On with the ION Vinyl Motion Portable Turntable

Posted on 09/03/2016 by Alexandru Chiuariu

ionAudio means to prove us that turntables don’t have to be plugged into power outlets and connected to powerful speakers in order to be functional. The ION Vinyl Motion portable turntable, now discounted in our store, is perfect proof for that.

ION Vinyl Motion brings turntables to the 21st century, while still maintaining a retro vibe. Most importantly, however, this turntable is portable, meaning that you don’t have to stay at home to enjoy your LP records.

Vinyl discs and turntables always make my heart skip a beat. As I’ve mentioned before, I grew up listening to progressive rock and heavy metal LPs that were brought to me at the tender age of 6 or 7 by my eldest cousin. Because those bands still have special place in my mind, this medium is something that I will always treasure.

Some of the details that set the ION Vinyl Motion apart from many other turntables is the ability to work using nothing else than the built-in battery as the source of power. Recharging that battery is fairly easy, as well.

If for some reason you want to leave the LPs at home and listen to digital files, instead, you have the option to convert records using the included converter software. Granted, you’ll lose some of the audio quality, but that’s the price you

Included in the package are the following items:

Vinyl Motion Turntable (Black)
45 RPM adapter
Felt slipmat
USB cable
Quickstart guide
Safety & warranty manual
EZ vinyl/tape converter software CD

The ION Vinyl Motion portable turntable is available for 5 more days on Walyou Deals, where you can buy it for $59.99. That’s 53% off what this turntable typically retails for, so if you’re a vinyl lover who wants to listen to music even while on the road, you might want to check this product.

All sales are final and the product is shipped for free to continental US addresses. Deliveries are expected to take place between March 19 and 22.

Get 81% Off a 2-Year Subscription to Trust.Zone VPN

Posted on 08/03/2016 by Alexandru Chiuariu

While some might say that staying safe online is priceless, that doesn’t mean that you have to pay an arm and a leg for good encryption. Trust.Zone VPN, one of our latest additions to our store, comes with a 81% discount for a 2-year subscription.

VPN services have gained a lot of traction lately, both for the superior privacy that they promise, and for their ability to go around geo-restrictions. But when it comes to picking one of the many, what are the features that you’re looking for? Is it the number of servers and countries, or maybe the presence of a companion app for smartphones and tablets? Or perhaps it’s the encryption they provide, which might come in handy when downloading torrents, for example. If you’ve answered yes to all of these, then the Trust.Zone VPN service might be just your thing. Our store, Walyou Deals, currently has it on sale with an impressive discount, so t

Trust.Zone takes pride in using 43 servers in 20 countries, which is a lot more than what your run-of-the-mill VPN service is offering. Other than that, the speed depends on your ISP, but there are no restrictions in terms of bandwidth or data transfers. Furthermore, you can switch between the 43 servers anytime you want.

One of the main possible applications promoted by Trust.Zone is the download of torrent files, under complete anonymity. Depending on what you’re actually downloading using the BitTorrent protocol, your actions may be regarded as illegal. However, if you’re eager to watch the latest geeky TV series and you happen to be in some part of the world where such shows aren’t broadcast, you really don’t have that many alternatives left. By encrypting all traffic, Trust.Zone keeps you safe from the usual risks.

Besides that, you’ll be able to access any website that has geo-blocked content. This is a measure that content makers or publishers take because of the differences in licenses, but lately it’s seen as something very unfair. People wanting access to information shouldn’t face such restrictions.

Compatibility isn’t an issue for the Trust.Zone VPN service, as it works equally fine on iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, Linux, Windows, and Mac. Since you’re only allowed to have the service running on up to 3 devices simultaneously, I would enter the settings into the Wi-Fi router, so that all of the devices you’re using at home or at work are actually seen as one.

If you were to put a price on your privacy, what would that price be? Walyou Deals has the 2-year subscription for Trust.Zone VPN at $35.99, 81% off what you would normally pay. That’s very reasonable, considering the great features of this VPN service. Take advantage of this offer while it still lasts, as it will expire in 4 days from now. As usual, all sales are final, and this being a digital product, will be available right after completing the order.

RIF6 Cube Projector Makes the Jump from CES to Walyou Deals

Posted on 07/03/2016 by Alexandru Chiuariu

Gadgets presented at CES don’t typically make it from the exhibition stand straight into mass production in such a short period of time, but the RIF6 Cube projector definitely makes an exception from that rule.

More than that, the RIF6 Cube projector has made it to our store, Walyou Deals, meaning that’s already available at a discounted price. If you’re in the market for a pocket-friendly projector that could come handy for impromptu presentations or movie projections, then look no further than the RIF6 Cube, a device with decent specs that comes at an affordable price.

One of the main things you could use the RIF6 Cube projector for is Netflix. At the beginning of the year, the company announced that the streaming service would go global, and it would be a pity to watch great movies and TV shows on a small TV.

Another possible application is represented by presentations for educational purposes. It’s often easier to explain something using visual cues, and projectors such as the RIF6 Cube can help disseminate the information to a greater number of people.

Here are the RIF6 Cube projector’s technical specs:

Light source: LED
Resolution: 854 × 480 (WVGA)
Image size: 120″/304cm
Brightness: full 50 lumen
Throw ration: 1.99:1 (dist/width)
LED bulb life: >20,000 hours
Dimensions: 2″L x 2″W x 1.9″H
Contrast: 1000:1
Distortion: <1.0% Uniformity: >85%
Focus: manual
Speaker: built in

Also, here are the contents of the package:

Cube mobile projector
Flexible tripod
Remote control
Charger
Micro USB cable
HDMI cable (Apple & PC)
MHL Cable to 5 pin (Android)
MHL Cable to 11 pin (Samsung)

For the next few hours, the RIF6 Cube projector can be purchased on Walyou Deals with a $50 discount, meaning that you’ll only have to pay $249. As per usual, all sales are final and shipping is free to continental US addresses, and the deliveries are expected to take place between March 17 and 20.

Comparably Lifts the Veil Off Compensations and Cultures

Posted on 06/03/2016 by Alexandru Chiuariu

Comparably, the Santa Monica-based startup whose website (www.comparably.com) was launched a couple of days ago, means to improve workplaces by increasing the transparency of organizations, as far as compensations and cultures are concerned.

Founded by former Docstoc founder & CEO (sold to Intuit) Jason Nazar, as well as George Ishii (co-founder Yammer/Geni), Mike Sheridan (co-founder, DebtMarket), & Yadid Ramot (co-founder Investedin), Comparably focuses for the time-being solely on the tech industry. However, the startup’s founders promise to expand in the near future, in order to include various other domains. Under complete anonymity, the users of this service can find out what others living in the same area as them are making on a similar position.

“Our vision is to make work dramatically better for millions of employees and companies by demystifying compensation & culture,” said Nazar. “We’ve built an innovative product experience, with more comprehensive and granular data than anywhere else. You’ll finally be able to reliably see how much money you should be making, and what experience your peers are having at work.”

To find out such details, users need to select their job title from a drop down list, along with their location. For the time being, the options include Los Angeles, New York, Austin, San Francisco, Seattle and Other. However, to see what other users have answered, you’d have to input your personal salary, along with any bonuses you receive annually. If you’re more familiar with hourly rates, you have the option of including that.

Upon entering that data, you are given the option to sign up using either your LinkedIn account or your e-mail address. The former is definitely the easier way to go, but if you opt for the latter, you’ll get a link in your inbox that enables you to verify the account. Next, users have to create a password, and I can’t stress enough that you should choose a strong one that includes numbers and symbols besides upper- and lower-case letters.

The following step allows you to customize the data in order to provide increased accuracy. For that, you’ll have to select your company’s size, the number of years it’s been active, and how much money it has raised. For the sake of statistics, you are encouraged to also mention your years of experience, the gender an the zip code.

The above data isn’t particularly mind blowing, but that’s not to say that Comparably doesn’t bring anything new to the table. Quite the contrary! The service enables users with similar jobs to discuss their compensation and culture. This particular aspect has an easy to use interface that provides a wonderful user experience. Since answers need to be less than 225 characters long (that’s a bit more than what Twitter allows), users need to make sure that they are concise, and that they’re answering other people’s questions accurately.

Comparably already is a very useful service, but it’ll be interesting to see the directions it will take next.

Get 96% Off the UI and UX Design Bootcamp

Posted on 06/03/2016 by Alexandru Chiuariu

Both apps and websites can be classified as good or bad depending on the user interface that they have and the user experience that they provide. The following bundle helps you master both of these aspects.

The UI & UX Design Bootcamp bundle offered by Walyou Deals features 6 courses that span over 30 hours. Considering the 96% discount and the insane amount of information included in these courses, this really is a bargain that anyone passioned about design should really look into.

Become a Senior UX Design Strategist by Mariano Goren, the first course of the bundle, focuses on valuable productivity hacks, conducting user interviews, developing and streamlining an UX strategy, leading a design team, and overall building the skills you’ll need for starting a career in UX consulting. While this 3-hour course promises to turn you into an expert, some basic UX design experience is required.

Up next is Rapid Prototyping with Ionic: Build a Data-Driven Mobile App by Hunter Leaman, a 5-hour course at the end of which you’ll build a full-fledged mobile app that can be used for monitoring the stock market. Besides learning how to use the Ionic mobile app framework, you’ll gain valuable programming skills in such cutting-edge frameworks as AngularJS, Node.js, Cordova, and so on.

Android Design: Learn UX, UI & Android Marshmallow by Deimantas Brandišauskas covers the basics of UX design and teaches you over the course of 9 hours how to implement these when developing Android apps.

How to Build Habit-Forming Products by Nir Eyal is yet another excellent course that will help you understand the tactics employed by such companies as Facebook and Twitter for driving repeat engagement. Despite being only two hours long, this course covers all the important aspects of user retention.

Next is Mobile User Experience: The Complete Guide to Mobile by 4ourth Mobile, a 7-hour course that teaches you mobile UX principles. In other words, you’ll learn not only to make great looking apps, but also highly-functional ones. For this, you’ll need to collect information on what users need when using a mobile application, and you’ll end up testing designs that meet their requirements.

Last, but definitely not least, is the ‘Mobile UI and UX Design’ Course app created by Stone River e-Learning. This UI/UX mobile app design course features 3 hours of content and covers each step of the design process. It should be noted that all of the skills developed using these courses can help you land the mobile app design job you’ve always dreamed of. So if you’re just getting started in this field or would like to update your knowledge, look no further of this bundle.

The UI & UX Design Bootcamp bundle is available on Walyou Deals for $39 instead of the $995 this bundle typically retails for. All sales are final, and since the bundle comes in digital form, you’ll gain access to it instantly.

Flame Treated EOS Titanium 2.0 Wallet

Posted on 03/03/2016 by Alexandru Chiuariu

Wallets are quintessential everyday carry objects, since it’s quite rare for a man not to have one on himself. But would you rather own a boring one made out of leather (or worse, PU), or would you like to be seen sporting an EOS Titanium 2.0 wallet that’s incredibly hard to damage?

If you pointed out to the screen in the direction of the second option, Elite Outfitting Solutions Inc. and Walyou Deals have got you covered. For the next five days, you can find the EOS Titanium 2.0 wallet at a discounted price, and given the looks and the sturdiness of this product, you probably shouldn’t overlook this deal.

Considering the name of this wallet, you’ve probably guessed by now what it’s made of. Since it’s not that easy to give a shape to this material, the manufacturer relied on CNC machine to turn a chunk of titanium into the eye-catching product you see in these images. As for the dimensions, the EOS Titanium 2.0 measures 3.6″L x 2.5″W x 0.5″H, so it’s actually more compact than a regular wallet.

This best-selling item combines the simplicity of a dual-plate wallet with the functionality of a money clip, so it will successfully satisfy the needs of people with different tastes. The manufacturer included a Fulcrum titanium money clip that’s incredibly tight.

If you travel a lot by car or bus, this wallet could definitely complement your style, but if it’s planes you prefer, you might be better off with an RFID-blocking wallet such as these five that are also available in our store, Walyou Deals. It all boils down to what you need and what style you prefer.

In terms of capacity, the EOS Titanium 2.0 wallet is quite versatile, being able to accommodate 25 cards, or 20 cards and 20 bills, or 60 bills. Regardless of the combination you’re going for, you’re always going to have quick access to the wallet’s contents. More than that, the contents are kept secure at all times, so you don’t have to worry about bills or cards falling out.

To make sure that the product screams functionality, the manufacturer included a thumb slot/bottle opener. That should give you yet another reason to carry around the Titanium 2.0 wallet at all times. However, if you intend to use this gadget as a bottle opener, make sure you don’t flash it around in a bar, as others might consider it too tempting not to own.

The flame treated EOS Titanium 2.0 wallet is available in two finishes (Raw Stonewash and Flame Treated), and sells for $74.99, which is 28% off the original price of $105. Orders are shipped for free to continental US addresses, with deliveries expected to take place between March 17 and 20. Make sure you select the proper model from the drop-down list, as all sales are final. If you’re in the market for a good looking, yet durable wallet, then you should take advantage of this offer before it expires!
