, Jan 5th 2012 Discuss [1]

I can only imagine the number of pictures on Facebook that are flagged as inappropriate each day. Facebook is now offering up a bit of detail on all those flagged photos.

Spinner 360 Leather Edition camera takes lomography to a strange new place

, Dec 26th 2011 Discuss [0]

There are two main hero features on the camera you're about to witness: the first being that it's essentially got a drawstring that'll blast the lens around in a 360 degree circle so you can capture the area you're in in a full panorama scene. The second bit is that this camera is clad in Italian Toledo leather, complete with a lovely thatched pattern so you're in style in the field. Take it out to a field full of cows for ultimate odd artistic appeal. Read The Full Story

What this camera does is attach to the bottom of your iPad in the iPod 30-pin port and acts as a camera that begins to bring you into a reasonable space for shooting photos and videos. While the iPad 2's camera was never one to win any awards for quality, Sakar may well bring the art back to iPhone levels with none other than Mickey Mouse himself. Read The Full Story

Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom finally confirmed at the LeWeb conference today that the Android port of the massively popular photo-sharing app on the iPhone was coming soon. Systrom told LeWeb attendees that the photo sharing app had two engineers onboard to accomplish the task.

The project has progressed to the point here in late 2011 where the designers feel it strong enough to present to the public - just toss it up in the air and at it's peak - SNAP - you've got a complete 360 degree view of the environment the ball is in. How's that for a new way of seeing things? Read The Full Story
