Many people find themselves browsing dozens of sites for discounts, when they want to find a good local spot to eat, or they want to support local small businesses. The more tech-savvy use apps, but they end up utilizing several for all of these purposes. Scoutmob is an app that can change all of that completely.

Conceptually, Virtual Reality has been a long time coming. While several major tech brands attempted in the 1980s, it was never particularly successful, and has thus remained in development until such time as it became practically usable. That time is now, and a startup called Virtuix has added an element that goes beyond a headset. With just the software and a headset such as the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, you can potentially walk around a virtual world, but how to handle movement has been a challenge. Conventional control methods such as gamepads, mouse and keyboard, or headsets work as well as ever, they do hinder the possibility of total immersion in virtual worlds promised by developers. While some have attempted to allow users to game virtually, moving in-game while sitting in a chair, it has caused motion sickness with far too many people. Creators of the Virtuix Omni hope that their device will be the solution to this problem. 
While most are looking for the next great gadget, more and more people concerned only for the next advancement in technology, there is still a large market for nostalgia. This is the reason that Hobbydb exists, specifically serving those who are just as interested in collectibles as the next big thing. It is a website that serves, essentially, as a hobby and collectibles database, but it is much more than merely an Internet-powered catalog of old toys. There is still a large market for collectible items, and this includes a diversity of things in over a dozen categories. Other than serving as a place online to find these items, some of which are quite rare, it serves as a community for collectors while allowing its users to grow it as a resource for others with their own contributions. There are some other unique things that set it apart as well, even beyond adding to the database and connecting with other like-minded people.
