Wake Up to a Sunrise Anytime with the LUMI Sleepmask


Sleep when it's dark and wake up to a sunrise whenever you need to!
Any college student or workaholic would be able to tell you how unfriendly their sleeping schedule is. In a perfect world, we would all be falling asleep when it's dark outside and waking up when the sun comes up, but our lives never seem to sync up with our body's natural sleeping schedule. For those of us that don't get to wake up to a nice sunrise, the LUMI Sleepmask might be the perfect alarm clock.

Farmville Maker Zynga Sued Over Patent Infringement


Claiming patent infringement, Agincourt Gaming is seeking monetary damages and asking the court to shut down twelve Zyngas games... including Farmville.

History books – if they haven't already – will probably label the 1980s as the "Music Video Era" followed with naming the '90s as the "Dawn of the Common Internet." For the 2000s? That will probably be labeled something like the "Dawn of the App" whereas our current decade, the 2010s, will surely go down in history as the "Age of Patent Infringement Lawsuits." Disagree? Just look at the headlines each week.
