HDR video: Is this what the iPhone 6’s video camera will look like?

Apple’s move into HDR (High Dynamic Range) iPhone photography, and the influx of other (better) 3rd party HDR iPhone apps, has led to a renewed interest in HDR photography. HDR photos are cool to be sure, and the effect achieved by combining two photos, one over exposed one under, can be just as cool, if not cooler when applied to video. Check out this demo of HDR video made using two Canon 5D mark II’s.  Read More

This doesn’t look desperate at all

So apparently with Windows Phone 7 finally achieving RTM status, Microsoft decided to hold a funeral for the iPhone today, since there’s obviously no possible way Apple’s device will be able to compete with Redmond’s latest attempt to remain relevant. Sounds hilarious, right? And then they went a ruined it all with a Thriller Dance. Yes, nothing says “We’re the future” like playing a song from 28 years ago and having dancers reenact the video... Read More

So, can developers use Flash now to make iOS apps?

Maybe. Check out this throwaway line in Apple’s somewhat ambiguous (and totally out of nowhere) press release about its new App Store Review Guidelines this morning. Statement by Apple on App Store Review Guidelines CUPERTINO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The App Store has revolutionized the way mobile applications are developed and distributed. With over 250,000 apps and 6.5 billion downloads, the App Store has become the world’s largest mobile application platform... Read More

How To: Type the  symbol on your iPhone – revisited

Hmm… What’s that other app…? You may remember a couple years ago we told you how to go about typing the Apple Symbol  on your iPhone’s keyboard , and that subsequently Apple removed the ability to do so in a later update. While we never really could think of a good reason as to why you ever would WANT to type &#63743 back when you could, now that we can’t, and we have folders in iOS 4, there is a great reason (and workaround) for getting... Read More

Yes, I’m 13

Above: That’s right, 1 bar, baby! If there’s anything I should have learned from the Phantom Menace trailer, it’s that it’s extremely dangerous to get too excited for a movie, especially a sci-fi one based on your childhood memories. But I can’t help it, I have TRON fever. And really, how could it suck? It has light cycles, and one of the hottest latex clad chicks since The Matrix Aeon Flux. Above: Which is lamer? That I color-matched my icons,... Read More

Review: OtterBox Defender Case for iPhone 4

Given that I have somehow gotten by for this long without a case of any kind for my iPhone 4, it might seem a bit odd that the first case I tried out is one of the most famously protective cases in iPhone history – Otterbox’s Defender case for iPhone. Yet here I am, finally placing my sleek, glass-backed iPhone into not just a case, but a veritable fortress. So, how does it live up to the hype? Let’s see. Read More  Read More

Welcome to the App store, circa 1830

Seriously, WTF? Oh those Wacky Tribals! When will they learn? I actually feel a little conflicted as this guy’s obviously got some talent, although it remains to be seen if he can only draw offensive African caricatures or if he can attack other cultures as well.  Read More

Apple’s September Music Event: The Good, The Bad, and the Meh

Well, another Apple special event has come and gone, and odds are you have no idea how you feel about it. Well, fear not, I’m here to tell you what you think. So without further ado, here is what was Good, Bad, and Meh about today’s music event. The Good iOS 4.1 – HDR photos, Game Center, Proximity sensor and other bug fixes….
