Made from a glossy and matte double molded polycarbonate, this durable frame conforms perfectly around the iPhone 6 to provide casual protection against minor drops. The bumper even slightly elevates the phone from flat surfaces, keeping it safe from unwanted scratches and scuffs. Comes in 5 colors!

Smartphone battery case company Mophie has decided to join the Super Bowl TV commercial train for the first time this year, and they have already posted their 30-second commercial online. The ad shows the entire world on the brink of destruction.
There are visions of snow in the African desert, a hurricane entering Nebraska, and more weather anomalies. Even gravity doesn't seem to be working like it should. What does all of this have to do with a battery extender case for the iPhone? Well, we won't spoil the ending here, but let's just say the ad gets its point across nicely.
Mophie has also posted a behind-the-scenes video of the making of their Super Bowl commercial, although a lot of it is just company executives talking about how big Mophie has become. Needless to say, don't watch this clip until you watch the actual ad first.
By the way, Mophie has a Super Bowl promotion where they will give away $1 million worth of $100 gift codes to folks if the game runs into overtime. For the record, none of the previous Super Bowls has ever needed to go into overtime. If the game runs through its normal four quarters, Mophie will still give out $10,000 of gift codes. You need to register at Mophie's website ahead of Sunday's game to be eligible.

Looking for the best free Mac games? It doesn't matter if you're broke or you just love free stuff (who doesn't), Mac gaming has plenty of quality free games to offer. In fact, there are more than enough options to satisfy you, whether you like strategy games, First Person shooters or else!
The list includes some some straight up free-as-in-freedom-not-as-in-beer free games and some "free to play" games that incorporate some sort of in-app payment system to unlock special features. And some require you to set up accounts through their various services in order to download and play. The bottom line, though, is that you can play all of these games without having to invest a dime.
There are some fabulous games on here that we really love to play around my house, like the incomparable MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) League of Legends, Steam's hilarious and fun team-based first person shooter Team Fortress 2, and Blizzard's collectible card game Hearthstone. Click through for the full list, and have fun!

There's a blog post making the rounds, likely because it allows Tesla and Apple Watch to both be crammed into a lede, about how useless the watch is without an iPhone, how pessimistic its future is for developers, and how Apple hasn't delivered on what they "promised" at the event last September. In other words, it represents rage against a fantasy world very unlike the real one in which Apple very carefully set expectations at the event, on the product preview pages, and in the developer resources that followed. From the rant:
Although the opportunities seem pretty huge with Apple Watch, unfortunately, the current capabilities of the emulator-only development don't match the expectations set after the keynote. We can now confidently say that creating anything really necessary and fully functional for Apple Watch with the current SDK version is very, very difficult, and many of the things promised at launch that were perfect for some business ideas are not at all available yet. The only thing left for the developers is to wait for spring 2015 when a new version of WatchKit will be released and Apple Watch will finally start selling.
The Apple Watch has no cellular radio and no GPS. It relies completely on its connection to an iPhone to exchange and update data. Apple made that crystal clear from the start. First generation Apple Watch extensions require an iPhone the way first generation iPod touch web apps required a Wi-Fi router.
And extensions are all Apple "promised" for the first version of the Software Developers Kit (SDK) — interactive notifications (short and long looks), widgets (glances), and remote views (WatchKit "apps").
So, yeah, sorry you can't yet build a native Tesla app with full, unfettered access to the hardware. Or, you know, a native game or native video player or... native anything. Because Apple only "promised" native apps for later this year.
It's okay to want more faster. It's human nature. But misrepresenting reality to spread FUD about a product and its development potential isn't okay. It's negative attention-seeking and, frankly, it's bullshit.
You can Google for the article if you absolutely have to give it your page view. I'd recommend against it, though. David Smith's excellent, in-depth WatchKit series is far, far more deserving.
For those of you looking to inject a little more juice into your iPhone 5 or 5s, TYLT has announced a new promotion that knocks $25 off both the normal and sliding varieties of its Energi Power Cases. With the cases regularly priced at $60 for the base version and $100 for the sliding one, this marks a fairly substantial discount.
If you're not familiar with TYLT, the company makes loads of mobile device accessories (a couple of which we've reviewed) from car chargers to sync cables and cases. Among those accessories is its line of Energi Power Cases for the iPhone, as well as a couple of Android devices, which provide a pretty good amount of extra battery life in a slim, stylish form factor.
The promotion lasts from today, January 30, through February 14. All you'll have to do is enter the promo code "FEBSLIDER" when purchasing from the source link below to knock off $25. Unfortunately, TYLT's latest iPhone 6 offering isn't a part of the promotion.
