Get a free Samsung Galaxy S6 with the purchase of select 4K TVs (US only)
Whether you are looking for a new TV, a new smartphone or both, Samsung’s latest offer is not one to ignore. The Korean manufacturer is now offering a 32 GB Samsung Galaxy S6 for free with the purchase of select 4K SUHD television (18+ age, US only).
We have seen the Samsung Galaxy S6 being discounted as low as $500 on eBay, but Samsung’s new bundle offer is by far the best deal on the flagship phone so far. The only downside is you have to be willing to buy a TV to get the phone, and the list of applicable 4K TVs shows no affordable options. Regardless, those who were already looking to get a high-end television will see a great opportunity in this.
All you have to do is purchase one of the SUHD TVs listed in the offer’s page. These include the JS9500, JS9100, JS9000, JS8500, JS850D and JS8600. You can enter your submission after having purchased the TV. All you will need to have in hand will be a scanned copy of your receipt and the TV serial number. The offer must be redeemed by September 1, 2015 at 11:59:59 PM ET, so you have plenty of time.
There’s no doubt some of you would prefer getting the luxurious Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. There is also an option for you – you can pay $400 to get some them curved edges everyone loves so much. That is still a good discount over the original price, which costs almost $800. You will be able to make your choice of device and carrier during the submission process – for now let’s worry about these TVs.
What is SUHD?
We know many of you are wondering this – SUHD is not really a known term. The truth is this is not really an industry standard like UHD, otherwise referred to as 4K definition (4096x2160p). SUHD is Samsung’s marketing strategy for categorizing their own high-end televisions.
The new naming scheme relates to Samsung’s traditional practices. Inprevious flagship, “game-changing” products, names usually include the letter “S”. One obvious example would be the Galaxy S smartphone series.
SUHD TVs are a bit different than Samsung’s other panels, though. These specific units are characterized by their better color, brighter picture, unique designs and Tizen-based operating systems. Otherwise, they are pretty much just Samsung’s best TVs for 2015, and moving forward.
Which TVs can I buy to get a free phone?
Now that you know all the details, it’s time to make a decision. That is, if you are still willing to fork out the cash for a new Samsung high-end SUHD TV. Here are the options:
- JS9500 – $4,497.99 from Amazon
- JS9100 – $8,997.99 from Amazon
- JS9000 – $3,497.99 from Amazon
- JS8500 – $1,497.99 from Amazon
- JS8600 – $7,997.99 from Amazon
As you can see, none of these will be cheap. The most affordable one comes with a $1,497.99 price point. The TV is worth it, as are all the others, but we will continue to stress that you shouldn’t go out and buy a new TV set just to get a free Samsung Galaxy S6. This deal is only worth it for those who were already considering buying a high-end television.

Apple Debuts New ‘Amazing Apps’ iPhone Ad
Ten days after releasing its first two iPhone ads using the new tagline of “If it’s not an iPhone, it’s not an iPhone,” Apple today debuted a third ad in the series. The new ad, entitled “Amazing Apps” focuses on the array of apps available in the App Store.
This is an iPhone. And it comes with something amazing: an App Store with over one and half million of the best apps available. That’s over one and a half million hand-picked, awe-inspiring, just plain surprising, who knew a phone could do that apps. If it’s not an iPhone, it’s not an iPhone.
The latest campaign is the third series of ads for the iPhone, following an initial set from Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake and a more recent “Shot on iPhone 6″ campaign that focuses on the phone’s camera capabilities.

The JBL Micro Wireless comes with an integrated bass port, said to generate a thump that’s “superior to comparable portable products”. And if one of these is not enough for you, you can even connect multiple of JBL Micro Wireless speakers to generate a much fuller sound. Battery life should average at about 5 hours of playback, which is definitely not bad tiny speaker like this one.
Interested? You best sign up for this deal now, as Amazon’s Gold Box Deals only last for one day. You can opt between three colors: black, red and white. The only downside is it doesn’t include Prime shipping, but you can get free standard shipping for orders above $35. Who’s buying?

Stephen Colbert dares you to ‘Escape From a Man-Sized Cabinet’
The beard might be gone, but Stephen Colbert has a new way to entertain you ahead of his debut with The Late Show this September. Game-playing folks of a certain age with pretty fond memories of text-adventure Zork will surely get a bang out of Escape From the Man-Sized Cabinet where you venture into an office cabinet, choose from various text prompts ranging from euphemistically waking up a centaur to continuously standing inside the cabinet until… well, I’m not going to spoil the surprise for you. The writing is pretty funny throughout and clicking through the story is actually a pretty excellent way to get a few laughs before the weekend starts. Want to make your own and maybe add in a Grue? Well, considering that Escape is a Twine-made title, that probably isn’t out of the realm of possibilities.

Drones hindered firefighting efforts in California
The aerial firefighters deployed to put out a large wildfire in San Bernardino County on Friday were forced to jettison their loads and ultimately land their planes and helicopters. Why? Because a handful of drone owners thought it would be a great idea to fly their machines over the affected areas at the same time. We wish we were talking about how a horde of fire-extinguishing UAVs saved the day, but nope — the five contraptions the responders spotted were nothing but hobby drones. They found those five flying above the burning vehicles on the Interstate 15 freeway at around 3PM, leaving them no choice but to circle the area for around 20 minutes to wait for them to leave. As you can guess, the drones never did, and two even chased the units while they were en route to the county’s airport to land earlier than expected.
The air units had to retreat, because smaller UAVs are considered a hazard: if one hits a plane or a chopper, it could endanger not just the pilot, but also the people on the ground.
As US Forest Service’s John Miller told NBC Los Angeles:
It can kill our firefighters in the air… They can strike one of these things and one of our aircraft could go down, killing the firefighters in the air. This is serious to us. It is a serious, not only life threat, not only to our firefighters in the air, but when we look at the vehicles that were overrun by fire, it was definitely a life-safety threat to the motorists on Interstate 15.
There are no confirmed injuries among the affected motorists — they managed to run out of their vehicles before they went up in flames — and we hope everybody really did get out on time. If someone did get injured or killed due to the delay, though, the drone owners would be in even bigger trouble. California Fire Captain Richard Cordova told The Hollywood Reporter that those owners would be held liable, as their machines prevented the firefighters from helping those who needed it.
This isn’t the first time drones have hampered firefighting efforts, by the way: some UAVs were also spotted at another California wildfire in June. This incident dubbed the “North Fire” devoured 3,500 acres of land, around five houses and 20 of the 75 or so abandoned vehicles within four hours. Authorities are now looking for the people behind those five drones. While they likely didn’t cause death or injury, Chief Marc Peebles of the county’s fire department said the delay they created is definitely one of the reasons why the fire ended up spreading on the freeway.

Samsung’s giant Galaxy S6 Edge Plus reportedly breaks cover
Samsung may not be pinning all its hopes for summer phone supremacy on the Galaxy Note 5. All About Samsung has posted photos of what’s supposed to be a store dummy unit for the Galaxy S6 Edge+, an extra-large version of its dual-curve flagship. There isn’t much to reveal about what’s under the hood, but it’s clear that the screen is about as large as what you’d see on the Note 4 (that is, around 5.7 inches). Also, there are no obvious hardware tricks here — the curve isn’t pronounced enough for a Note Edge-style strip, and you certainly aren’t going to find a pen, microSD slot or removable battery.
As for what’s under the hood? That’s not so certain, although the current talk is that you might find the same eight-core Exynos 7420 chip that you get in the regular S6 Edge. If so, that’ll make the Edge+ little more than an upscaled version of the phone you already know. It’d be a challenger to Apple’s iPhone 6 Plus and its eventual sequel, rather than an upgraded device à la HTC’s One M9+. Not that we’re necessarily complaining, especially as FCC filings suggest that the Edge+ is coming to major US carriers. Historically, Samsung has only offered one giant high-end phone at a time — you’d finally have an additional big-screened Sammy that isn’t a step down.

Valiant Pixels makes its Moonshine icon pack open source
Developing an app of any kind takes a lot of time and money. And, to be successful, it normally takes upkeep after launch. Consumers are always looking for updated content that makes an app look and feel fresh. For Valiant Pixels, it has become time to move on from its Moonshine icon pack. Pedro Peguero Jr., the founder of the startup, announced today that Moonshine will be going open source, allowing Valiant Pixels to focus on new projects. Valiant Pixels will focus on design with logos, magazines, and, yes, even icons.
Valiant Pixels chose to move away from Moonshine because the icon pack was taking up much of Peguero Jr.’s time. Between graduating college, a new job, and people leaving Valiant Pixels, he felt it was time to look at projects that will allow him to operate his own studio in New York City with a vast amount of clients. Working on Moonshine alone is obviously in the way of fulfilling his dream.
Peguero Jr. is looking forward to Valiant Pixel’s future:
“From this day moving forward, you will begin to see less mentions of Moonshine, but more mentions of new work. More real life projects from logo, magazine, and commissioned icon design which we share with you. On top of that, I’m in the process of letting more people get on board on the VP team, so that I can finally, yes..finally begin my core goal of leading a design team and running my own business.
Moonshine was a huge milestone in this journey, and I can’t wait to share with you more of this journey throughout the coming months/years. With a new website in the works, and more work added to our portfolio, we can’t wait to show you what Valiant Pixels truly is about.”
Moonshine’s popularity is certainly not being overlooked. It has accumulated nearly 2 million downloads and over 72,000 people have rated it in the Play Store. Right now, Valiant Pixels does intend to provide Moonshine with bug fixes and improvements to the user interface and stability. From there, it is all about to the public deciding where they want to take Moonshine.
