The Spigen is offering special “S” versions of each as well that add slot for insertion of plastic card that doubles as kickstand.

The new Air Cushion Technology corners reduce the thickness of the case while providing extreme protection for your iPhone 6. The 4-Point Rear Guard protects the polycarbonate back plate by lifting the back plate above the surface.

Asus Vivo Mini Specifications, find out latest price of this barebone PC

Asus is all set to launch its new mini PC in the month of November that features an Intel Haswell processor but what really caught our eye is the price tag of Asus Vivo Mini – just 149 dollars.

Sine Asus will be marketing it as barebone PC you will be able to Windows, Linux or hackintosh on it. And of course the downside of buying a bare bone PC is that you will have buy / torr*nt operating system for it along with memory, storage (HDD / SSD) and even wireless card.

Coming to its processor choice, you get the choose between the Intel Celeron 2957U haswell, i3 or i5. If you choose either of the last two, you will have to shell out more. Other Asus Vivo Mini specifications include 4x USB 3.0 ports, display port, HDMI, Ethernet, full + half size PCIe card slot, m SATA connector and support for up to 16GB RAM and 2x SODIMM slots.

The Vivo Mini measures 4.9″ x 4.9″ x 1.7″ and features a VESA mount-compatible design that lets you mount it to the back of monitor or TV.

There are so much more great options out there for bare bone PC’s, such as Zotac’s Nano CI320 bare bone for $130. And you can even get the variation with a 64GB SSD, Windows 8.1. preinstalled, and 802.11ac for $230. What I’m trying to say is, this Asus box is pretty worthless for what it is.

If you are a fan of Android mini concept, make sure to check out the INTV 19 CX-919 as well.

Moto G 4G: Download official Android 4.4.4 CM11

As all of you know CM11 team has been working day and night for bringing the latest Cyanogen Mod to the Moto G 4G android phone and thanks to folks at XDA it is finally here. Flashing instructions are given below.

1. First get the latest build from this link.

2. Now make sure you have the boot loader unlocked because without that we cannot proceed. Then ensure you have either CWM or TWRP recovery on board as it is not possible to flash a ROM with a custom recovery.

3. Now copy the ROM onto the SD card and reboot into recovery. Flash the ROM from recovery and wait for sometime for the system to settle down.

Since this is an ongoing project some bugs do exist. The one we have come across is the low RAM bug where after 24hours an unknown process will take up a good amount of your ram and eat it until you factory reset/flash clean. Another minor bug is that sometimes the Moto G would not connect to certain router securities.
