I will be open and confess my love for not only Instagram but anything that makes an attempt to use the Instagram API and make a rather awesome product on the back of it. I got on board with Instagram from the beginning and have been sharing photographs with my followers ever since directly from iOS on my iPhone and Android from the Nexus 7. Such is my love for Instagram that I also tend to sign-up for anything related to it, such as Webagram and Instacanvas, so when the Instacube Kickstarter project presented itself, I had to become a part of it.
It wasn't that long ago when we brought you some information regarding Nikon possibly releasing a point-and-shoot camera that stepped away from the norm with the inclusion of the Android mobile operating system. It seemed like a rather unnecessary move for a company like Nikon to go down the route of producing hardware that contains Android, but with camera phones becoming increasingly more capable of capturing fantastic images on the move, it would seem that these companies need to do something to remain relevant.
Sony once dominated the gaming market with an iron fist, but has lost its way somewhat, and with the PS Vita not managing to be the rousing success the company will have hoped, maybe cross-platform PlayStation Mobile service will fare better.
Every year, a handful of movies arrive and create something of a buzz due to its lead, director, storyline, or the volumes preceding it, but very few have managed to become the number one topic of discussion as Avatar did. The movie was one of the first to present the true capabilities of 3D, and is widely regarded as James Cameron's very best motion picture.
The Internet is a wonderful place. Many of us get lost in cyberspace on frequent occasions whether we're wolfing through YouTube, researching something on Wikipedia, or allowing Google to answer all of our burning questions. Many have attempted to visualize the Internet in the past, but Russian programmer Ruslan Ekineev has created an out-of-this-world depiction, which he calls The Internet Map, and it's certainly something of a masterpiece.
Wireless charging has constantly been spoken of in the past as a technology the consumer market will eventually adopt with natural progression, and according to a report over at DigiTimes, Intel could be launching a new system that'll allow wireless charging of smartphones powered by its processors. The technology has been approved by the Wireless Power Consortium as the Qi standard, and is another leap in the quest of hardware manufacturers to minimize the cables and wires - something we definitely agree with.
There's little doubt Sony's PS Vita is a powerful bit of kit, and having played on one for quite a while, the quality of gaming and visuals is astounding for a mobile device. Having said that, the market has moved on from the days of the PSP and 3DS, with consumers now getting their gaming fix from their smartphones, and while Sony had hoped the Vita would be a revelation, most of us are none too surprised to see it unable to muster the kind of following previous handheld consoles managed.
Microsoft opened up registrations for the BUILD 2012 conference, and with tickets selling like lemon-topped hotcakes, it’s rather surprising to see that the whole conference sold out in a matter of few minutes, at the time of writing.
If you happen to be a person who accomplish their fair share of driving for either business or personal pleasure, then the chances are; at one time or another, you saw something truly unbelievable at the side of the road that would make a perfect photo opportunity. The most realistic chance of snapping an extremely quick photograph undoubtedly comes from using something like an iPhone or any other smartphone device, but by the time you get it out and get the camera app loaded, that moment has passed away. So what do we do about it? Admit defeat and move on, burdened by the fact that something truly remarkable has been missed?
Social networking sites have become such an integral part of our every day lives that I actually struggle to clearly remember a time when they weren't around. The need to be social has, and always will be, a part of our genetic make-up as human beings, but that has been accelerated to a whole new level thanks to the likes of Facebook and Twitter which allow us to easily connect and interact with people all over the globe. Facebook is by far the largest of the world’s online social portals, boasting over 900 million registered members, connecting people from all over the world together through common friends and interests.
