The EDC Pocket Bolt Pen: Pen-ultimate

Machined bolt pens are pretty cool. They have a durable build and satisfying clicking action. They also feel great in your hand. If you want a pen that can last you years, these are the pens you want. However, the EDC Pocket Bolt Pen takes things up a notch, adding in some extra elements and cool optional choices.

This machined bolt pen from Blank Forces does away with the typical size and weight. It measures just 4″ long and weighs only an ounce. So this pen is convenient to carry, while maintaining the durability and aesthetics of machined metal pen bodies.

It also has an auto-locking mechanism that engages every time the pen retracts, so you won’t get ink in your shirt pocket. It comes in round and hex versions in brass or stainless steel finish. You can also get it with a clip or a keychain ring, and with a laser-engraved ruler on its body. Basically, it looks like the best bolt pen around. Find it on Kickstarter right now.

Pocket now includes ‘sponsored’ articles in its recommendation feed

Pocket has become perhaps the best way to save links and view them later on the go, whether on a tablet, phone or a standard PC. The company behind it has found plenty of success, but now it wants to start making more money -- to that end, Pocket is...

This Pocket Cat T-shirt Has a Nasty Surprise

Ahhh. Look at the cute cat in that pocket. Then you lower the pocket down and are like WTF?!? That cat that looked so adorable is a nasty feline.

The joke is partly on him/her because aside from tricking you by giving you the finger, that cat is fatter than it looks. This fun shirt will surprise everyone! It is at once cute and nasty with it’s secret hidden message. This fun shirt was designed by Ripndip. They should be called Catnflip as in a cat just flipped you off.

The company makes skateboarding apparel that has this mischievous cat mascot named Lord Nermal. I love him, but I hate him. So I guess it works.

Pokit It Good

Pages have been written about savvy Smartphones and how little their batteries last. Portable charger adaptors are a great answer, but they too need to be well designed to compliment the sleekness of the Smartphones. The Pokit fits in here somewhere … it is an integrated phone charger-adaptor, external battery and storage pocket that is compact and portable.

The one clever feature is that the USB cable sealed inside the fabric pocket can be connected to charge the smart device. No wonder it snapped the Red Dot Award: Design Concept this year!

Designers: ACE Group, iFace – Kim Jinseok, Jang Junyoung, Jeon Seyong, Koo Yoori, Park Jungjun & Shin Jungwon

Facebook tests ‘save-for-later’ feature for the second time, makes it better than the first

Beware, Pocket and Instapaper: the folks at Facebook HQ are testing a feature that encroaches upon your "save-for-later" territory. This new function currently appears for some mobile users as an iBook bookmark-esque button next to status updates with links, although it actually saves the content of the link itself. You can access every saved link via a new menu (with a telltale name) under the Apps section. Before you get too excited for the feature, know that this is the second time Facebook's given it a spin -- the first iteration tested last year, however, archived status updates instead. If the save-for-later function does mak e it to everyone's accounts, though, we wouldn't be surprised if Facebook addicts remain even more glued to their screens.

Pocket redesigned on the web: overhauled article viewer, enhanced navigation and more

Pocket redesigned on the web overhauled article viewer, enhanced navigation and more

Hot on the heels of releasing a freshly designed application for iOS 7, Pocket is now switching its focus to the experience it offers on the web. The save-for-later reading service says the revamped site takes a lot of cues from its mobile apps, presenting a much more polished UI with major performance improvements throughout. Browsing Pocket has been made easier thanks to added support for keyboard shortcuts, allowing you to easily archive, favorite and jump across stories you've queued up. The Article View, which is perhaps the most important section, now features an all-new layout that can automatically adjust depending on the content being read, as well as being able to display Retina-class images within articles. Pocket's makeover can be enjoyed on most major web browsers starting today, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera and and Internet Explorer 9 or higher.%Gallery-slideshow99774%

iOS 7 app update roundup: it’s a flat, flat, flat world

Even if you don't feel like coughing up the cash for either the iPhone 5c or iPhone 5s, those eligible for an update (that's if you own an iPhone 4 or up, or an iPad 2 onward) can at least console themselves with iOS 7, which debuts today. Gone is the skeuomorphic design of the Forstall era, and in its place is a flatter interface that promises an entirely new experience for iOS devotees. As such, developers everywhere have been scrambling to get their apps redesigned to match the new mobile OS out of Cupertino. While we can't possibly cover every update, we've compiled a quick list after the break of the more substantial app revamps that have come our way.
