We’re Selling Ourselves Out and Developers Short with Free Apps Posted: 14 Jan 2013 09:18 PM PST I buy a lot of apps. Yeah I have a lot of apps in general (almost 920 last check of iTunes), and a lot of them are free. Some were just free and a smaller portion were from review codes by app developers, but a lot, I bought. And while we all like free apps, when an app is free to download and use, there is always a cost. Nothing is ever completely free, someone has to get paid. However app developers are under two conflicting pressures: people wanting free apps and developers wanting to earn a living. Continue reading → |

Tap To Unlock Your Unlock iPhone With tapUnlock [Jailbreak Tweak] Posted: 14 Jan 2013 06:54 PM PST ‘Slide to unlock’ has been one of the iconic features of Apple’s iPhone. We can still remember Steve Jobs describing how the iPhone can be unlocked when he unveiled it in January 2007: "To unlock the phone, I just take my finger and slide it across. Wanna see that again? We wanted something you couldn't do by accident in your pocket. Just slide it across – BOOM." Continue reading → |

iPads Outsold Surface RT Tablets 20 to 1 in Q4 2012 Posted: 14 Jan 2013 05:14 PM PST Microsoft needed a blockbuster hit with the Surface Tablet RT. Sad to say though, time and again sales estimates for the laplet (tab-book?) have been pushed down and down and down.

PureShot Let’s You Shoot and Save Uncompressed TIFF Images on Your iPhone Posted: 14 Jan 2013 03:12 PM PST Although I have two point-n-shoots and a DSLR handy for taking pictures, it’s my iPhone 5 that generally gets the most use. Why? Because I have it with me almost all the time too. Not to mention I can shoot, edit (sometimes), and share a photo from my iPhone much, much faster than I ever could with my other cameras (import into a device, check, post, etc). Still, I prefer to shoot in RAW or have my pictures compresses as little as possible when I have the option. Less compression equals more flexibility editing. If there is more of the original photo left for me to work with I can push the boundaries of the image much better. Alas, that function isn’t in most iPhone apps. Until now. PureShot lets you save an uncompressed dRAW (aka TIFF) image. Results? Well, not what you might expect. Continue reading → |
