There are so many apps for the iPhone that you can find something to do just about anything you can think up. If you are a photographer there are bunches of apps that you can get on your iPhone that will turn your device into a light meter and a lot more. I can see the need to mount the iPhone to your camera if it is your light meter.

Tesla sues BBC and Top Gear for Roadster test claiming it was rigged
If you are a fan of cars odds are you have watched an episode of Top Gear or two. I'm not talking about the fail packed American version, but the long running BBC version. I really like the show and think those guys are pretty funny, even if they are often American car hating douchebags. Tesla doesn't like the show at all though.

REETI PCBot tracks users, squirts video and blushes [Video]
In the robotics world, silicone rubber can be either used for disturbing evil, such as the slug-like Elphoid P1 humanoid cellphone, or for bug-eyed good, like French firm Robopec's endearing REETI. The desktop companion is both a PC, a webcam and a telepresence 'bot, capable of streaming live video from his webcam eyes, responding to touch thanks to various embedded sensors, and making facial expressions.

No 3D for Wii 2 suggests Nintendo: Glasses-Free tech not ready yet
Nintendo may have spent the past thirty or so years working on 3D's gaming potential, but all that experience has seemingly convinced them not to use the tech in the upcoming Wii replacement. While the 3D-capable Nintendo 3DS launched in Europe and North America over the weekend, apparently setting sales records in the process, according to Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime the shortcomings of glasses-free 3D technology on larger displays has dissuaded the company from including it.

100-year-old secret underwater dome is fraudster’s amazing folly
As awesome additions to your home go, a billiard room hidden under a lake - complete with Bond villain style dome - sounds like the kind of place any self-respecting geek should covet. Turns out, the concept isn't new; J. Whitaker Wright, a trader, engineer and convicted fraudster, lavished masses of money on Witley Park back in the 19th century, a 32 bedroom mansion which extended into various labyrinthine underground passages and a beautiful underwater room.

Calm down, Amazon Scratchpad are dev-tools not tablet
Rumors around Amazon's tablet plans refuse to die, with the retailer's recent moves with the Amazon App Store and the new Cloud Player for Android app each being used as evidence a cloud-centric slate is on the roadmap. However, despite reports to the contrary, it seems it won't be the Amazon Scratchpad. Although several Scratchpad-themed domains have been registered recently by the online retailer, they appear to be related to Amazon's Marketplace Web Service.

Dell slates iPad business potential as Microsoft exec suggests tablet appeal short-lived
If you can't beat 'em, slate 'em. iPad 2 demand remains sky-high, but that hasn't stopped Dell from sniping at the Apple tablet with the suggestion that it had failed - and would continue to fail - to penetrate the enterprise market (and coming up with some spurious figures to try to illustrate that). Meanwhile, Microsoft is casting doubt on whether the tablet segment as a whole is going to stick around at all.

Android Market in-app billing enabled: Try-and-Buy apps, extra levels, more
The Android Market has had in-app billing enabled, allowing developers of Android apps to offer upgrades, virtual goods, extra levels in games and other services from within their titles. Using the same checkout system as the Market itself, Google will take the usual 30-percent cut from developers' proceeds and do all the hard work when it comes to processing. The system will also allow for try-and-buy apps, offering a test period of use and then the ability to unlock the full title rather than having to re-download the app.

Amazon Cloud Player prompts streaming spat as labels explore “legal options”
Amazon's Cloud Drive and streaming Cloud Player services dropped earlier than expected; the rumors had only really begun to coalesce a few days before, claiming the online retailer was struggling with the same content owner licensing issues that were plaguing Google and Apple. Instead, it seems, Amazon pushed ahead with the launch and simply expected the labels to fall into line. That, unsurprisingly, isn't going down well, and despite Amazon's protestations, it looks like the labels are readying themselves for a legal fight.

Bose Bluetooth Headset Review
The following is a review that, for any other product, might be considered short, but for this bluetooth headset, there’s just really not that much to be said. And it’s not just a pumped up yelling and screaming “I LOVE IT” situation either, though there is a little bit of screaming in the story. This is a review of a product that essentially does one thing, and it does it well. What this product presents is noise cancellation and comfort for a premium talking and listening experience both to and from your ear and mouth and via Bluetooth to and from your handset.
