World’s best footballer and FIFA Ballon d’Or winner, Lionel Messi has been presented with unique platinum boots as sponsors, Adidas celebrate ‘the greatest of all time.’
Lionel Messi has been photographed with his five Ballon d’Or golden trophies in his house.
The Barcelona superstar who was crowned the world’s best player for the 5th time at a ceremony in Zurich on Monday, now has a pair of platinum boots to go alongside his new gold Ballon d’Or trophy after being celebrated as ‘the greatest player of all time’ by adidas.
After scoring 52 goals for club and country in 2015, Messi’s incredible achievements have been recognised by his sponsors with some precious footwear.
Based on the current Messi 15 model, adidas have created a design featuring real platinum elements which have never been seen before on a football boot.
The back has four gold dots and one platinum dot to signify Messi’s record haul of five Ballon d’Or trophies, while a Spanish phrase translating as ‘the greatest of all time’ is printed on the sole of the right boot.
Both the Messi and adidas logos are made from real platinum, which is another nod to Messi not just being a winner, but the greatest player on the planet.

Gadget Ogling: Babe-Friendly Smartwatches, Pretty Routers, and Automated Aromas

Welcome to another edition of Gadgets Dreams, the column that crawls through the woods in search of the latest gadgets rather than, like Leonardo DiCaprio, in pursuit of those who wronged it. On our scavenger hunt this week are a smartwatch for kids, a flashy WiFi hub, and a smart diffuser. As ever, these are not reviews -- the ratings relate only to how much I'd like to use each. They certainly have nothing to do with how useful they'd prove in fending off a bear attack. Smartwatches Are Kids' Stuff Imagining myself in the hypothetical role of a parent, I assume I would have a strong opposition to giving a smartphone to an under-14 child of mine. Don't get me wrong. I would, I surmise, be all in favor of my offspring being able to tap into the Internet to explore, learn, and communicate. I'd also want my kid to be reachable at all times -- but, ideally, in a more-controlled way than by carrying a typical smartphone. The dokiWatch -- a...

Feds Put AI in the Driver's Seat

The artificial intelligence component of Google's Level 4 autonomous cars can be considered the driver, whether or not the cars are occupied by humans, the U.S.   National Highway Transportation Safety Administration   said in a letter released Tuesday. Level 4 full self-driving automation vehicles perform all safety-critical driving functions and monitor roadway conditions for an entire trip. Google's L4 vehicle design will do away with the steering wheel and the brake and gas pedals. Current U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, or FMVSS, don't apply because they were drafted when driver controls and interfaces were the norm and it was assumed the driver would be a human, the NHTSA wrote to Chris Urmson, who heads Google's Self-Driving Car Project. Those assumptions won't hold as autonomous car technology advances, and the NHTSA may not be able to use its current test procedures to determine compliance with the safety standards. Google is "t...

Twitter Users Snared in Dark Web's Brisk Password Trade

Image
                            Data stolen from more than 32 million Twitter users has been offered for sale on the dark web for 10 bitcoin, or around US$5,800, LeakedSource reported Wednesday. LeakedSource has added the account and email information to its searchable repository of compromised credentials. The data set came from someone called "Tessa88@exploit.im," who has been connected to other large collections of compromised data, including the credentials for 425 million MySpace accounts. The Twitter information consists of 32,888,300 records, LeakedSource said, with each record containing such information as email addresses, usernames and passwords. The information likely came from compromised user systems rather than from a breach of Twitter's systems, according to LeakedSource. The hackers were able to in...
