For the Nike Women's Training Spring 2012 collection, we asked Nike athletes and trainers to examine the way they train and look for the commonalities in their range of motion. Our designers then used innovation and design to develop a collection of footwear and apparel that enhances each one of the 6 CORE MOVES by providing zero distraction and technological details that are hidden in the beauty of a unique design aesthetic.

The soft, cozy pre- and post-workout garment that will keep you comfortable during your warm up and cool down. Made from Dri-FIT single-knit, plated jersey fabric (a combination of organic cotton, recycled polyester and spandex), it wicks sweat away from your skin helping to keep you comfortable and warm. A cropped body, loose fit, open neckline, raglan sleeves, flat-seam construction (to reduce chaffing) and a gusset that runs all the way from the body to the sleeve hem allow for a full and free range of movement.

Inspired by technology and modernity, Finder's latest collection ‘Static’ is a lesson in innovation and colour play.

Their exclusive static print makes a pivotal statement, fusing together geometric blocks of colour, while prominent hardware and eyelets make a return, along with tassels, cording and spliced colour contrasts.

We all get stuck at the supermarket checkout from time to time when the assistant can’t get an item’s bar code to scan. We’re left watching in awkward silence as the flustered employee waves the item every which way, upside down, back and forth, at an angle, until they’re left literally rubbing it on the scanner in the vain hope that the machine will do us all a favor, recognize that it’s a loaf of bread and beep.

No beep means caving in and keying in the code. Of course, that’s no great hardship, but it takes time, and when the checkout has a whole load of people waiting in line, it’s no fun for anyone.

But thanks to engineers at Japanese electronics company Toshiba, those days may soon be over. They’ve come up with a scanner that can recognize items — no bar code required. The Object Recognition Scanner (ORS) works by utilizing pattern and color recognition technology being developed by the company.

You’ve semi-successfully set up your tent, picked out your outfit and lined your stomach with a bacon and egg roll – so what to do before the good tunes start in the afternoon? Give yourself a killer Splendour beauty look (before you start day drinking, please) with the stuff you’ve already got in your make up bag.

Resident MUA + beauty expert Isabella Iasenzaniro gives you the tips on easy, impactful looks and the perfect second day hair, inspired by the runway.

Qualcomm was looking to put the disastrous Snapdragon 810 in the rear view mirror when it began shipping the Snapdragon 820 a while back. Now, it's putting more distance between itself and ARM's reference cores with the Snapdragon 821. This is the second chip with Qualcomm's custom 64-bit CPU cores, and it's apparently as much as 10% faster than the 820.

Like the Snapdragon 820, the 821 is a quad-core chip based on the custom Kryo cores. The 810 was octa-core, based on the ARM reference Cortex-A57 and A53. With the 820 (and now 821), the four Kryo cores operating at varying clock speeds can offer better performance without as much heat. The Snapdragon 821 will come in clock speeds as high as 2.4GHz compared to the 2.15GHz for the 820. Maybe that's the entire basis of Qualcomm's 10% improvement claim.

This isn't the end of the road for the 820. We'll probably still see plenty of phones shipping with it before the Snapdragon 821 becomes more common. Maybe those 

Amandla Stenberg is cool. Not your nonchalant, Frenchy breed of cool. Not your high school popular, OC teen cool. Just straight up, owning herself, cool. She’s more than Jaden Smith’s prom date, more than a cast member in Stella McCartney’s POP campaign (with equally excellent alums Grimes, Lourdes Leon + Kenya Kinski-Jones), and more than her appearance in Beyonce’s Lemonade visual album. Amandla is a new feminist icon, LGBTQI and #BlackLivesMatter advocate, accomplished essayist and damn stylish lady.
