iPhone 6 Lightening Cable

Apple is likely to introduce a new Lightning cable which is reversible at both ends, according to a new leak.


Sonny Dickson, the man who revealed the iPhone 5C in all its glory last year, has posted a photo of a new cable showing a USB end that could slot into the power adapter or computer either way up.

The new cable looks like it has a thinner, floating centre that could come to the aid of gadget users fed up with faffing about in order to plug in their Apple devices.

A new USB standard is on the way, which does include reversible cables, but Apple could bring them into play in a matter of weeks when the firm is expected to release the iPhone 6.

Orlando Bloom and Nina Dobrev Kissed

Orlando Bloom and Nina Dobrev kissed at Comic-Con party where Dobrev sunk her teeth into the actor, according to reports.

An eyewitness told Us Magazine that the duo were making out for 20 minutes, whereas another observer revealed that Bloom and Dobrev grinded on the dance floor. Insiders said that the duo could not peel their eyes or hands off each other at the bash.

A source spilled the beans to the publication that Dobrev had known the 'Hobbit' actor for a few years now she had been out with him in social settings with mutual friends.

Captain America and Hulk's powers explained by science

Captain America and the Hulk's super powers are explained by science in their respective comics, but the real-life explanations aren't so far-fetched either, according to videos published by Standford University.

Stanford biologist Sebastian Alvarado explores the origins of each character by using real-life examples to speculate on how their powers work. In the case of Captain America, included above, Alvarado discusses photo-sensitive carriers of drugs that exist in research today. The films see Cap getting pumped with a special serum and zapped in a chamber. Alvarado draws comparisons to drugs in development that are shot with UV light, which causes them to release and activate whatever they happen to be carrying.

As for the big, green, rage monster known as the Hulk, the answer is a little more tricky. In the comics, the Hulk's transformation is the cause of gamma radiation. Alvarado takes the time to talk about how this would affect Bruce Banner's transformation, why he's green and how he changes from one form to another.

"The only molecular mechanics that I happen to know about that can turn on a gene and turn off a gene is epigenetic modification," Alvarado said. "Now imagine all the genes that correspond to being a normal, mild-mannered scientist like Bruce Banner, and all the genes involved with being rage Hulk, and imagine each of them having a light switch. An epigenetic modification could transition all of the switches that turn Bruce Banner into Bruce Banner and the Hulk into the Hulk. And the nice thing about all of this is that they're very reversible."

There is no answer, however, for how the Hulk's pants stay on. Check out the video below.

6 Types of 'Un-dateable' Men

Yes, a breed of undateable men exists - guys that women wouldn't even want their enemies to date. Read on...

Some men have that natural charm and women tend to flock to them when given a chance. But there are some whom a woman would never want to be in proximity with. He's the guy who can be the reason behind a drastic change in moods. While you're wondering the kind of man you should hide from, here's our checklist of men you should avoid.

1. Mr. Volatile
One moment, everyone's eyeing this extra caring, super-hot boyfriend of yours while the next, he's just indifferent and you're left wondering WTH just happened. We won't call this man one with mood swings because that is acceptable, considering how often we PMS. But he's the kind of a man who is so volatile, you'll have all the answers, yet be clueless about his weird behaviour.

2. The 'I-me-myself' guy
Go to a restaurant with him, he'll be kind enough to let you check the menu, but will choose what he wants. Talk to him over the phone, you'll find conversations start with how his day was and ends with the goals of his life. And while you're thinking of a beach destination for that annual relaxation holiday, you'll end up going to a desert just because he wants a camel ride. He's selfish. Stay with him to be unhappy for the rest of your life.

3. The 'Aww-I'm-just-a-kid' man
This guy just hasn't grown up. He's so happy extending his childhood days that he will mistake you for his momma. If you're willing to tie his shoelace, select clothes for that everyday outing of his, cook for him and feed him, among doing his other chores, we will say, go for him.

4. The sleaze-ball
He flirts with every woman on the planet - his receptionist, the waitress, the woman who comes to take out garbage, the stranger at the super market and even your best friend. His history can make you uncomfortable and you just know he's not the kind who'll be serious with anyone. Avoid this man who's only about sex, sex and just sex, unless you're looking for someone to play with too.

5. 'I-need-you-so-much' fella
This Mr Clingy is a total no-no to be with. He's so insecure and doubtful about things in life, all he's looking for is reassurance. And here's what he comes with: a truck full of emotions. Trust us, you wouldn't want to be a shoulder to this man, who goes sob, sniff, sob every single minute when he's with you.

6. The predictable guy
This one's as predictable as a bimonthly auto rickshaw fare hike in Delhi. You just know what he's thinking or is about to do. Yes, we're talking about (yawn) the guy who has just no surprises to offer you, because well, not only is he predictable, but he's way too boring, so much so that we know for certain you'll gauge him in just a month.

Zoe Saldana moved by Groot in 'Guardians...'

Actress Zoe Saldana says Vin Diesel's Groot "stole the show" in their latest offering "Guardians of the Galaxy"

. 

The 35-year-old says she "fell in love" with the tree-like creature in the new Marvel movie - in which she plays Gamora and can't remember feeling "moved" as much by any other fictional character, reports contactmusic.com.

She said: "I think Groot stole the show, for me. I mean, I just fell in love with this big tree once we started filming. And even though I'm mature and I'm pretty sane, I can't really remember a fictional character that really moved me like that."

7 Secrets to a Huge Orgasm

Believe it or not, but achieving an orgasm is not as common a phenomenon as the act of love making. Yes, the Big O is an alluring experience that millions of women struggle to attain on a regular basis.

Whether you're keen to learn how to achieve an orgasm or whether you simply want to experience greater sexual satisfaction, we bring you real life moan-and-groan mantras of women from all walks of life, along with expert proficiency. Here's the ultimate ''orgasm guide'', which is completely devoted to seeking the most erotic pleasure...

Stop thinking about it
"I started concentrating on when and how to climax to coordinate with my beau. My deliberate efforts had such negative impact that getting an orgasm turned into a damn squid or a 'once in blue moon' situation. I discussed the problem with my gyne and she advised me to take things easy and go with the flow. Getting all worked up and stressed-out spoils the climax," shares 32-year-old Kavita Bohra.

Kavita's funda: Keep your mind in the moment and feel rather than think - it will make climaxing much easier.

Expert talk: "Stop thinking of sex in a sequence. Sex doesn't actually have a start, middle or end. You could orgasm during foreplay or via a quickie against the bathroom wall. All orgasms are great; thinking of them as brilliant or boring merely puts pressure on us. The trick is not to strive for something better," shares sexologist Dr. Renu Rai

Play it out!
"Getting over sexual taboos considerably transformed my sex life," quips an excited Mandeep Kaur Dhaliwal. The 27-year-old architect adds, "For instance, the very idea of watching porn use to freak me out. But then my boyfriend cajoled me to give it a shot just once and it miraculously spiced up our sex life. Not only did I experience amazing orgasms, but I realized that watching porn didn't make me a bad girl."

Mandeep's funda: Don't be scared to experiment - you never know what might rock your sexual world.

Expert talk: Dr. A. K Singh suggests, "Don't restrain yourself. Imagine doing salsa without swinging hips; no fun, right? That's what aiming for an orgasm is like, if you don't loose yourself a little. If an act doesn't do it for you sexually, don't try it again. But if it does, congratulations, you have just opened the door to many more orgasmic possibilities."

Monogamy pays!
Sudeshna Chatterjee, a 29-year-old communication manager reveals, "Ever since my boyfriend and I got married and started living together, I'm having orgasms 85 per cent of the times, compared to our dating days where I used to climax around 40 per cent."

Sudeshna's funda: Experience pays as you get familiarised with each others' moan zones and are thus more than willing to explore newer ones.

Expert talk: Dr. A. K Singh explains, "On the basis of my interaction with my clients, sexually successful women insist that sticking to one man results in exceptional payoffs. Over a period of time, your partner can master your quirky curves and the art of making you climax."

It's all about the position
"I think great sex is all about angles. The days we are really tired and in not mood to experiment, sex is merely okay. But when we have all the time (and just the right mood), we experiment with new positions and needless to say, end up having the best climax of our lives." shares sales manager, Deepshika Verma.

Deepshika's funda: Don't be afraid to try new things, you'll be surprised how many new sensations you both can experience.

Expert talk: "There's no denying the fact that with each position, the sensations change. The Kamasautra, which is the ultimate guide of lovemaking, elaborates on this science. Some positions focus chiefly on the clitoris, others are great for G-spot indulgence and then there are some that do wonders for emotional intimacy. The best part is that even if you are a novice and lack such creativity, ample literature is available on the Internet and magazines to guide you better," explains sex therapist Dr. Simridhi Siddique.

Alternate orgasm therapy
Mona Dave, a 30-year-old boutique owner, states, "Ninety per cent of the times, I could only have an orgasm through oral or manual stimulation - never through regular sexual intercourse. I firstly thought something is wrong with me. But now, it's a normal occurrence. My partner has accepted it and now we indulge in lot of such acts that can make me reach an orgasm."

Mona's funda: If a certain act has rocked your arousal level and triggered a sensational orgasm once, include it in your subsequent sex sessions.

Expert talk: Dr. Renu Rai shares, "Intercourse is a great way to get pregnant, but you can't categorise it as the most efficient way to reach orgasm. If you desire more than one orgasm, my best tip is to use different forms of stimulation, otherwise you get desensitized."

Explore yourself
Pooja Sanwal made it all the way to the age of 29 without ever experiencing an orgasm. She tried and tested myriad ways, but nothing worked. She finally consulted Dr. Jawahar Batra and decided to take the matter in her own hands. "I went to my room, closed the door and took my time exploring my body. Even though I didn't exactly go over the edge during the session, I felt like - I now know how to make it happen." shares Pooja.

Pooja's funda: Discover what works for you and without any inhibition communicate the same to your partner.

Expert talk: "Know what works for your body. Practice stimulating yourself and then share your newfound knowledge with your partner or give him instruction when in bed." says Dr. Jawahar

Foreplay your way
Admit it, the female orgasm isn't a push-button response. "Sex was nothing more than a sad, painful experience till the time we understood that foreplay is the most important part of lovemaking. Most men (like my husband) love to believe that the female body is composed of only one spot that calls upon a mind boggling, orgasmic experience. This however is so untrue," chuckles 26-year-old, Vanshika Rastogi.

Vanshika's funda: Make your man understand that there are multiple erogenous spots in a woman's body which can invoke a pleasurable and intense female orgasm.

Expert talk: Dr Simridhi Siddique elucidates, "A woman can achieve several orgasms during foreplay alone, if done the right way. Invest as much time as possible in foreplay and arousal. An aroused state of mind is usually followed by a multi-orgasmic experience and she will definitely love you more for this success. Read as many books as possible on foreplay and study all the techniques."

So, what are you waiting for? Pick the best way for an over-the-top O.

Are you MADLY in Love?

There are obvious signs that can tell you how deeply in love you are.

Feeling the blues, always?
Well, yes this could be the first sign to tell you when you are feeling the blues all the while and have goose bumps and butterflies in your stomach for no reason at all or for silly reasons.

You keep blushing all the time
This again is a sign that tells you 'you are smitten for the first time' when you see yourself in a very good mood and your friends always spot you daydreaming and blushing and getting lost in your thoughts. That's definitely mush and that's definitely the crush you need to explore.

Your heart longs for that person
Your eyes go around hunting for just a glance and you will be satisfied even if you could see the person for even a second and that gives you maximum satisfaction. This does not end here as the more you get to see the person, the more the heart longs for the person. This is surely first love.

You experience things for the first time
If you feel the excitement is new, the feelings in your heart are the ones you have never experienced before and there are hundreds of emotions running hither and thither inside. You're feeling ecstatic at the same time there is anxiety brewing inside your heart that makes you feel your heart beat like never before - dhub, dhub, dhub, and more dhub dhub.

Buddy, you have been smitten. Go and get yourself a love doctor.

Habits to Ditch {Girls Only}

While most of us make it a point to eat healthy and exercise as often as possible, we tend to ignore other simple things that actually take a toll on our well-being.

Find out if you are compromising on your health everyday by indulging in these habits that you must say goodbye to pronto...

Wearing heels often
Do your back and feet a favour and keep the high heels only for special occasions. Victoria Beckham and Kim Kardashian may swear by their towering stilettos but they also have a battery of help to cater to their every need. An alarming number of women have started wearing heels on a daily basis, or every other day. And experts say that wearing high heels affects posture, puts a lot of pressure on joints, and at times even lead to conditions like painful bunions, hammer toes, back pain and arthritis. Not to mention the risk of twisting your leg and falling down.
Damage control: Ensure that if you have to wear heels often, they aren't more than 1.5 inches. Alternatively, carry a pair of flats while you travel and wear heels only for some time. Rest your feet after wearing heels by soaking feet in warm water.

Lugging around a heavy handbag
Most womens hangbags weigh an average two to five kilos. Shocked? You should be. The sheer number of things women keep and carry in their handbags can scare most men off.
But carrying around such heavy bags put your health at risk — you're inviting a health problems like back, neck and shoulder pain. Your posture also goes for a toss — lugging around a heavy bag will make you slouch sooner or later.
Damage control: Make it a habit to empty your bag every week or two and carry only absolutely necessary items. Or even better — switch to a smaller bag to avoid the temptation of putting more things in your handbag.

Not removing your makeup at night
Sometimes even the most meticulous women give in and don't remove their makeup before turning in at night. While this cardinal sin is a strict no-no, what you should know is that leaving makeup on all night is inviting skin problems. Your face needs to be cleaned of the makeup, dirt and oil at the end of the day or you will face problems like clogged pores, tired looking skin and pimples. Wearing eye makeup overnight can cause eye irritation or even infection.
Damage control: Keep a bottle makeup remover and cotton swabs right next to your bed so that no matter how tired you are, you can just reach out and remove the makeup.

Trying to outdo men at drinking
Among those women who feel they can drink as much as men if not more? Do yourself a favour and stay away from such drinking competitions. On an average, women not only weigh lesser than men, they also have lesser body water to dilute the alcohol, meaning they get drunk faster. Not to mention the damage you do to your liver by these binge drinking sessions.
Damage control: Let the men drink themselves silly. Recognise your limits and stick to them.

Wearing ill-fitting bras
Over a whopping 65% of women are thought to wear the wrong sized bra. And wearing an ill-fitting bra can have repurcussions like neck, back and breast pain, bad posture, skin irritation and even breathing problems. Not only will your clothes sit badly on you but you will also slouch a bit.
Damage control: Go to a lingerie store and get yourself measured by an expert so that you know your exact size. And since womens bodies tend to change, get yourself measured once a year.

Dwelling over the past
When you refuse to let go or stop thinking of your past or worrying incessantly about the future, you are damaging your present as well your future. Mental stress can drain you of energy and affect you in more ways than you realise. And according to studies, women have a higher chance of suffering from stress-related disorders than men.
Damage control: If you find yourself depressed or anxious, ask yourself what is causing it. Is it a broken relationship or health woes? Address the problem at the root and don't be afraid of asking for help.

Worrying about looks
Vanity affects both the sexes but it affects a far larger number of women than men. And women have a range of body issues, which can take a toll on them mentally. Going on numerous diets, having eating disorders and undergoing excessive cosmetic surgery can cause you physical harm.
Damage control: Toss those beauty magazines in the trash and improve your body image by making a conscious effort. Be happy with what you've been given.

Emotional eating
When was the last time you reached out for that comfort food and guiltily ate it? Women are genetically more emotional than men while comfort eating affects both sexes, it is said that men tend to eat emotionally when they're happy and women when they are upset. And women tend to satiate their cravings with sweet, high calorie foods instead of healthier options.
Damage control: Next time instead of allowing the carvings to get the better of you (and your waistline), distract yourself with something other than food.

Not sleeping enough
Do you get your eight hours of sleep every night? Or do you scrimp and then sleep all weekend? Don't blame a hectic lifestyle or stress on not getting enough sleep. Not only can inadequate sleep make you feel lethargic, it can also make you look like hell, apart from causing accidents, overeating and an increased heart disease risk. Sleep affects your blood pressure and mood more than it affects men.
Damage control: Go to sleep early as often as you can and wake up at the same time everyday.

'Expendables 3' Flops: Is Piracy to Blame?

Is piracy to blame for “The Expendables 3’s” puny box office debut this weekend or were viewers ready to euthanize the film’s aging action heroes?

That’s the question Hollywood’s asking after the thriller fell short of initial projections by roughly $10 million, debuting to a paltry $16.2 million.

As the dwindling numbers trickled in over the weekend, studio executives privately pointed the finger at a leaked copy of the film that hit the internet three weeks before its debut and was seen by 2.2 million people.

“This is really a clear situation where this had an impact,” said Phil Contrino, vice president and chief analyst of BoxOffice.com. “It’s hard to measure, but the ripple effect, not only of the downloads, but of the word-of-mouth that spread as a result, can be seen in the soft opening.”

The film’s initial numbers are the worst in series history. The original “Expendables” launched to $34.8 million in 2010 while the second installment debuted to $28.6 in 2012. Still, some box office observers are hesitant to ascribe blame wholly to the illegal downloads, citing franchise-fatigue after three films in relatively short order.

“It got hurt,” said on rival distribution executive. “You’d have to say there was an impact there. But as low as the numbers are, there was a whole lot more going on. There was some audience rejection. When you go to the well too many times, you’re going to run out of gas.”

It’s also not clear that the majority of people who downloaded the movie illegally would have paid to see it in theaters even if it wasn’t available online, argues Rentrak media analyst Paul Dergarabedian. Then there’s the continued strength of “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” which still managed to do more than $20 million of business in their third and second weeks in theaters.

“It’s such a crowded marketplace,” said Dergarabedian. “Even taking piracy out of the equation, it’s so much competitive than we thought it would be.”

“The Expendables 3″ was widely seen as a litmus test for the impact that piracy can have on a film’s prospects. Hollywood has tried to hit back against illegal downloading in the past, backing controversial legislation such as The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and The Protect IP Act (PIPA). When those bills collapsed in 2012, undone by a grassroots backlash and concerns about their impact on First Amendment rights, studios choose to speak more softly. For the most part, their efforts have been limited to outreach to Silicon Valley companies. Given “The Expendables 3’s” poor results, those overtures may grow more intense.

Measuring the impact of piracy on box office is difficult and the data can be contradictory. For instance, an unfinished copy of “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” was widely distributed online a month before the film opened in 2009, but the picture still managed to rack up $373 million globally. That’s a big number and one that suggests a lot of people were still willing to shell out for the finished product.

However, some research suggests that piracy can take a big chunk out of ticket sales. A 2011 study by Carnegie Mellon University researchers found that when a film is pirated prior to release, it loses nearly 20 percent of its potential revenue.

Lionsgate, which distributed “The Expendables 3,” and producer Avi Lerner declined to comment, citing an ongoing lawsuit against 10 anonymous individuals they allege shared a digital copy of the sequel with piracy sites.

They may be quiet now, but don’t expect the studios to remain mum for long. Fresh shots were just fired in the piracy war.
