THERE’S just something about bubble wrap that we can’t get enough of.
Yes, it’s really useful when it comes to fragile packages — but we all know the true joy comes from popping those little plastic bubbles.
And now, the fun doesn’t have to be limited to birthdays, Christmas or online delivery days — thanks to a little toy that mimics the addictive sensation, without the crushing disappointment of realising you’ve burst all of the bubbles.
The “Mugen Puchipuchi” — a small keychain with eight “bubbles” — is made using a double layer structure of silicone rubber to create a similar feeling to the real deal..
“Mugen” is Japanese for “infinite”, representing the infinite number of bubbles its users will pop. Meanwhile, “Puchipuchi” is the Japanese word used to describe the plastic wrap’s unmistakeable popping sound.
There’s even a phone case version — which, presumably, would also offer outstanding protection for your mobile.
The original Japanese keychain is quite an investment at $78, but luckily the phone case version can be picked up for as little as $10.
Whichever you choose, the popping satisfaction will be well worth it.

How does FB bind over one billion people every day?
Well, it's a combination of tools we have built up over the last 11-12 years. We make sure that in as many possible cultures, we are on the ground, looking over people's shoulders, literally. Using, logging in, understanding - oh, this word didn't quite make sense; last name quite didn't make sense; oh, the way you said invalid password, I didn't totally understand what that meant. At the scale of a billion people, each of these issues is a big deal. And we need to have a system that lets us go out, understand, prioritize and address each of these product issues.
How are people using FB and how do you interpret that and design for the future?
Today, we can discover opportunities to improve emerging behaviour. Instant Articles is just one example. We are seeing more people using FB to share or discover news. We know a lot of these people are in places where news can take more than 30 seconds to load, we know that could be the difference in reading the article or not reading it. Thus was born a team to make that experience immediate. That's how auto-play videos were born. We saw people were using groups to buy and sell things. And so, we are working on making commerce in groups easier - building basic features that let people more easily search and list prices.
What happened to the 'dislike' button?
'Reactions' as a feature is getting tested in five countries. And we are going to roll it out soon. We built this elegant design, where you just press and hold the 'like' button, you get a little menu of animated emotions which you can slide your finger across and leave one of these reactions. And what's so cool is that when you would be scanning your News Feed, you would get a visceral sense of the feel that people are having around a piece of content.
To what extent would you say that FB has replaced email?
Messaging is a massive trend on mobile. No one had thought it would grow so big, so fast. We really see FB and Instagram on one end of the spectrum, which is communicating with many people. And then Messenger and WhatsApp on the other end, which is communicating more frequently but with less people. Making messaging better on mobiles is an important trend in technology. It's not just text messages, its sending photos and videos. It's how we talk, it's sending voice clips, it's sending stickers and money. I would say that is the thing which is replacing email.
What is the comparison between desktop and mobile at FB?
We still have hundreds of millions of people each day using FB on desktop. Desktop is not going away. Especially at work, a lot of people are using PCs. We are working on a product called Facebook at Work, which will let you use Facebook specifically with your colleagues. But mobile is the most important technological trend of our time, it is the gateway to the internet for so many people for the very first time.

AppRewards
Type of program: Rewards
Technical requirements: Apple apps only
Locations: Anywhere
How it works: Download free apps then earn points by sharing apps on social media and playing games.
How it pays: Pays points on RewardsDen and Kiip. These services allow you to earn discounts or free items from places eBags, PetSmart, SkyMall, Overstock.com, 1800Flowers.com, Starbucks, Best Buy, Pepsi, Sears and Disney.
Bottom line: To make this pay enough to collect any significant rewards, you probably have to be participating in other programs that earn points through RewardsDen or Kiip. But if you like to try new apps, it could be fun.

Gigwalk
Type of program: Task-oriented crowdsourcing
Technical requirements: iPhone (Android app is planned.)
Locations: More than 6,000 cities in the United States
How it works: People log on and find “gigs” or tasks. These tasks can be almost anything but some of the typical ones are price checks, app testing, data verification, taking photos,mystery shopping, surveys, etc.
They apply for these tasks to the client seeking the work and, if selected, submit the work.
They receive feedback from their clients.
Positive feedback allows them to access higher paying gigs.
How it pays: Pays cash into a PayPal account. Tasks typically pay $3-5; however, for experienced Gigwalkers there are some tasks that pay up to $100. Payment for tasks is made within 7 days.
Gigwalkers must pay PayPal’s transaction fees but can choose a higher minimum payout to minimize their frequency.
Bottom line: A few things need to be figured in to determine how lucrative this money-making app
will be for you: not only the time it takes to complete the task, but the time it takes to apply to tasks and the travel required to complete gigs. At $3-5 a gig it probably doesn’t pay to travel far.
However, the competition is greater for gigs that don’t require travel or that are in a heavily
populated area.

-Tasks are simple and fun

EasyShift
Type of program: Task-oriented crowdsourcing a.k.a microlabor website
Technical requirements: iPhone only
Locations: United States, though availability of shifts in certain areas may be limited
How it works: Download the app; create an account and start accepting “shifts.” You earn points as you successfully complete shifts and then gain access to better paying assignments.
The types of jobs this crowdsourcing company offers tend to be for consumer brands looking to track their products, so photos of products with price checks, etc., are the mainstay of this company.
How it pays: Pays cash into PayPal accounts. Payments for shifts range from $2 to $20 and are paid within 48 hours.
Bottom line: While this is available nationwide, since so many of its shifts are location-based, its feasibility for you really depends on how many of them are close to you. You don’t want to spend an hour in travel time earning $2.

-Starting is easy
Start today, no application or experience necessary. Get our free iOS or Andoid app and get started today.
Technical requirements: iPhone
Locations: United States, Canada, Norway, and Australia
How it works: Agents download the app, choose a job and then must complete it within two hours. Agents are awarded points for acceptable completions and lose point for unacceptable or uncompleted jobs.
Jobs might include price checks with photo and/or bar code scan mystery shopping, surveys, product reviews, polls, verifying business locations, taking photos, brochure placement.
How it pays: Pays cash into a PayPal account. Jobs pay $3-12 each.
Bottom line: Unlike Gigwalk--in which clients choose applicants for jobs--tasks are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
(However, some tasks are released first to those with a higher point status.) This will mean less time wasted applying for jobs that you didn’t get.
