Hands On With the Samsung Galaxy S 6
Plastic, be gone! The S 6 is made of metal and glass, but it's smarter metal and glass than we saw on iPhones: the glass back is Gorilla Glass 4 rather than Apple's eminently breakable "ion-tempered" stuff. The phone is basically all glass over a ...

It is not unusual for Diana Watkins to be treasure hunting as early as 6 a. m. , for it is the early bird that catches the sea glass. Sea glass is Watkins’ object of desire, and she has found as many as 50 pieces in one day of beachcombing. Sea glass and other “gems” of the ocean make for interesting accents for the home, as the 20-plus vendors participating in the March 14 Sea Glass and Ocean Gems Symposium at the Barrier Island Center can attest. Sea glass, also called mermaid’s tears, isn’t just pretty and pleasant to the touch, but it carries a history of far-flung destinations and long-ago use. Bottles, jars and other glass items are tossed into the sea, sometimes many, many years ago when coastal residents considered the ocean their trash dump. Sailors throw those unwanted glass vessels into the ocean with impunity. Watkins herself found a piece of sea glass from a 1700’s Spanish galleon. Unlike emeralds, diamonds and other baubles made by nature and shaped by man, sea glass is instead man’s creation that is reshaped by nature. With recycling and the increased dependence on plastics, sea glass is fast becoming rare, and fans such as Watkins must work harder to discover new pieces.
Image Comics' cult hit dark fantasy series Dark Engine begins its second arc today with issue #5. A twisted, sprawling, experimental, and poetic time-traveling story, Dark Engine is easily one of the strongest and most exciting debuts from a... With the first trade paperback on the shelves and second arc just beginning, Comicbook. They powered Sym with an engine that allowed her to travel to the exact point in time where everything went screwy. Turns out the engine had a mind of its own, did a tour through time, and once it was ready, We’re going to see a lot of change. We reintroduce Sym, and John has designed her in such a way that people will be really happy with it. People were really happy with his initial design, but there wasn’t a lot of superfluous design, it was bare-minimum. That being said, for the second phase of her life she looks absolutely different, absolutely remarkable. She gets a new directive once she breaks out of this crystalline prison she’s trapped in at the end of the first arc. We’ve got Sym, we’ve got Jin, we’ve got the dragon, and the fourth is the Inkface Ranger. The reason he’s called the Inkface Ranger is because he wears a red stripe of ink on his face at all.
