BBC Ice Cream Bee Line
From the Billionaire Boy's Club's own Instagram post, their line of button downs are a great addition for fall when you need to layer up.

Lego Star Wars: Desert Skiff (9496)
While there are many Lego Star Wars sets that seem huge and
daunting to build, the Desert Skiff is a relatively smaller set. The vehicle
itself is not one which a fan would be rushing to buy, (“OMG Desert skiff?!”)
however the Minifigs are what make this set.

Google Maps vs iOS 6 maps
The most recent update to Google Maps on Android devices added a feature where you can "access your desktop and mobile search history through My Places" as well as 'single-handed zoom" to allow for easier navigation while you are planning your trip before you start driving. This is done by double-tapping and then holding down finger and slide to zoom, which I believe to be a great innovation.
In contrast, Apple's iOS 6 has decided to exclude Google Maps, and have launched their own navigation app. This app now has turn by turn navigation and 3D renderings. As it is a new product launch from Apple, there are bugs to be expected. Check out some hilarious mistakes here. I guess after the lawsuits, Apple wants to limit their Google ties, but is it really worth it to deprive your users of a great experience due to spite? One company's maps advance with updates every few weeks, while the other's has taken many steps back. Let's see how Apple responds.

Game Review: Major Mayhem
While browsing through the Google Play store on my friend's new Nexus 7, I came across Major Mayhem. Another freemium game, the objective is to send the Major through the battlefield while shooting enemies by tapping on the screen. Through the missions you will collect coins which you can use to unlock items, or if you can not wait, you guess it, you can pay for coins to unlock the more costly items.

iPhone 5: Nothing New.
The announcement of iPhone 5 yesterday was one of the biggest busts technological advancements in recent times. The highly anticipated phone boasted new features that, yes, may be new to the Apple world, but is nothing new in the smartphone market. Such features include a 4 inch screen, LTE compatibility, and Panoramic photos. While I can't even begin to imagine how a company can hold a press conference and expect people to eat up these pioneering new additions, I have to give credit to Apple's marketing team for building a brand that has such a loyal (and sometimes sheep-like) fan base.
I came across an article on Phandroid.com that better illustrates the situation and also provides many examples. Consumers, open your eyes!

Track of the Day: Clique - Kanye West x Big Sean x Jay-Z
The newest single from G.O.O.D. Music's delayed Cruel Summer album comes with a nice new beat. Big Sean lends a simple but catchy hook, Kanye raps about Kim and other nonsense that manages to somehow sound smooth, and Hov drops one of his nicest flows in recent times. What do you think?

Grooming: Comb Sleeve by The Craftmen
So your style has grown up, and you're not doing the old "spike-up" any more. Good for you! You find that you need to carry a comb with you in case the slick back needs some readjustment, like in the old timey films. Well, important things go in a case! (see below video).
