Is this the most important selfie of 2013?

President Barack Obama has tentatively joined the ranks of insolent teenagers everywhere on Tumblr account “Selfies at Funerals.”

The account’s owner admits the link is tenuous, as the selfie was taken at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service, not a funeral exactly.

The U.S Prez poses for the shot with U.K PM David Cameron and Denmark’s PM Helle Thorning Schmidt.

The account’s owner has declared this selfie-to-end-all-selfies the last post on the site which has garnered significant media attention for capturing a moment of contemporary zeitgeist.

With this ring I thee wed… myself to all my incoming smartphone alerts.

Mashable have introduced us to the Smarty Ring. A Bluetooth-enabled accessory allowing users to check smartphone alerts and manage calls from the finger.

‘Users can manage the settings for their Smarty Ring from a

mobile app, and can even use the device as a watch, timer or

phone finder. If a user walks more than 9 metres from his

phone, the ring will beep to alert them that they've left

something behind.’

An interesting sartorial choice, but the idea of a wearable

gadget that springs into action when you’ve left your phone

behind is a stroke of genius this writer could definitely do with.

For the first time ever I kind of think Google Glass might not be solely for this guy...
