LifeLink Changes The Way You Travel and Store Data On Your Smartphones and Tablets

Solution: PlusUs has announced LifeLink which is the world's thinnest cable for portability and easy storage for your smartphones and tablets.

Samsung and Apple dominate over 50% of the global portable device market with their innovative and desirable products. Yet this innovation has not been extended to their 1 meter USB cables, which have mostly remained unchanged for years (with the exception of Apple’s lightning connector part). This one-size-fits-all approach forces users to carry their bulky cables with them in order to keep their devices charged on-the-go. These common cables fail to address the widespread demand for portable and storable cables -- for devices to be truly portable, they need a truly portable cable.


Solution: PlusUs, a startup founded by 3 innovators from Perth, Australia, has developed LifeLink (patent-pending) - a new class of cable that addresses the demand for portability and easy storage. The world’s thinnest cable, at only 2 credit cards thin, LifeLink is 70% thinner than Samsung’s and Apple’s cables. When stored, LifeLink is the length of a credit card, easily fitting in a wallet, purse or even a keychain. This gives users the peace of mind of having their Micro USB or Lighting cable with them at all times. With USB ports in cars, airplanes, at work, hotels, in TVs, tablets and even with battery banks, the LifeLink cable is a must-have companion to a smartphone and tablet.

LifeLink’s clever design allows it to double its length to 7 inches (180mm), longer than other compact cables allowing devices to be used while charging. LifeLink includes other innovations, such as the unique perforated design that increases flexibility for reaching into tight locations and a Teflon covered cable for superior durability.

After only 1 week, LifeLink exceeded its pre-order campaign goals. The cable is still available for pre-order for a limited time at getlifelink.com for $19, after which it will retail for $24. Shipping is in early 2014. Helping the community: a portion of every LifeLink ordered will be contributed to a cause of the customer’s choice: help educate a child in Nepal, provide shelter for a family in India, or contribute towards building water wells in Ethiopia.

Buffet Bliss or Southern Swing-and-a-Miss? A Bite at Kacey’s in Huntsville

  Walk through the doors of Kacey’s Country Cooking in Huntsville and you’re greeted by the comforting smell of fried chicken, collard greens, and cornbread that could double as perfume for any true Southerner. This is where the buffet line reigns supreme, the sweet tea flows endlessly, and dessert is always just an arm’s reach away. For many locals, Kacey’s is a comfort food paradise. Fans brag about the fried green tomatoes, juicy pork chops, slow-cooked beef tips, and banana pudding that deserves its own holiday. The staff are another highlight—quick with refills, friendly enough to feel like family, and the kind of people who can make a buffet feel like Sunday dinner at grandma’s.

Like most buffets, it’s a roll of the dice: hit the line on a good day and you’ll be full and happy; catch it on an...
