iPhoneography and the Mobile Art Movement

Regulars here at The Gadgeteer know that I tend to blather on and on about how much I love the camera built into the iPhone 4S. It's one of the main reasons why I continue to flutter back to the iPhone after taking brief vacations using other handsets. I guess I'm in good company because I just learned about an art festival that's been created completely around iPhone photography. An upcoming exhibit at the LA Mobile Arts Festival, will showcase over 500 works of art from iPhoneographers worldwide. If you happen to live in the Santa Monica, California area, check it out at the Santa Monica Art Studio on Aug 18-25.

Redesigned iMac and Mac Pro reportedly in the works

. Hidden configuration files found in Boot Camp Assistant suggest Apple (AAPL) may be readying a redesign for its iMac and Mac Pro line of computers, according to AppleInsider. The files contain information that lets the software know what Mac models can install a second operating system from a USB flash drive. While the list includes the existing MacBook Pro and MacBook Air computers, it also includes two new Mac models that have not been release yet - the sixth-generation Mac Pro and the thirteenth-generation iMac.

COPO Camaros start delivery, hear them roar

Back in March, we told you that Chevrolet was actually going to build the Whitesnake-level-awesome COPO Camaro after the drag-ready Camaro was showed off at SEMA as a concept. The first four COPO Camaros have filed out of the COPO Assembly Facility. COPO numbers 3, 5, 7 and 9 were rolled onto the transport truck, and car number seven was caught on video, highlighted by the roar of its monstrous engine.

Morpheus lander crashes, burns and explodes in untethered flight test, NASA remains optimistic (video)

As noisy as we found Project Morpheus' tethered flight test, its untethered follow-up was far, far louder. Yesterday, the experimental lander suffered a hardware component failure, which NASA says "prevented it from maintaining stable flight." This caused it to crash into the ground and well, explode. On the upside, the space agency says that these kinds of failures were anticipated, stating that they are a normal part of the development process and will be used to build better systems moving forward. You didn't think Curiosity made its touchdown on Mars without learning from a few mistakes, did you.

RED claims Dragon is 'single most significant sensor in the history of image capture'

Red Camera's bombastic CEO, Jim Jannard, says that internal testing of the new 6K Dragon sensor proves that it's the new "resolution and dynamic range king." He also claims it will be "the cleanest sensor you have ever seen, ISO 2000 looks better than MX [the current sensor] at ISO 800." The imaging chip was first outed at NAB in April, promising 15+ stops of DR and 120fps at a full 5K of resolution, with $6,000 upgrades for Epic customers by the end of the year. Scarlet-X users will also get the Dragon, though no price or date has been given yet for that camera.

iOS 6 screenshots on iPhone 5 part deux

We do know that the self-proclaimed “world's most advanced mobile operating system” is about to get bumped up even further the echelon with the arrival of the iPhone 5 (or next generation iPhone, depending on just what you want to call it), and iOS 6 is its name. Apart from some changes that folks might not jive with, it is nearly certain that iOS 6 will run nicely on the higher resolution and subsequently, larger display of the iPhone 5 compared to the smartphone's predecessors, meaning the user interface will hum along at a resolution of 640 x 1136.

WatchESPN Android app update finally brings access for Comcast subscribers

Foursquare brings nearby check-ins back to BlackBerry and iPhone, saves our pub crawls

The Foursquare 5.0 revamp wasn't all good news for some of the location service's most loyal fans: the design quietly scrapped the option to only see check-ins from nearby friends. After much clamoring, Foursquare has found a way to tuck it back in, starting with BlackBerry and iPhone users. A pull or a tap now filters between check-ins worldwide and just those from friends gallivanting around town - just in case you'd rather not see your international friends enjoying the weekend before you do.

Apple, Samsung reveal sales data to the court, boast of millions served

Have a smartphone from Seoul or Cupertino riding in the pocket of your jeans. You aren't the only one. New documents filed in Samsung and Apple's ongoing legal battle reveal specific sales data going back several years, confirming something we always knew to be true: there are a lot of devices out there. Samsung's filing reveals that it has sold 21.25 million phones and 1.4 million tablets since June 2010, and further breaks down the data by device and, in some cases, carrier. The Galaxy S II, for instance, takes the lion's share of US sales with over 4.1 million units sold between all models and carriers.

WhitePages wants to help you communicate better

They say that one of the major killers to any relationship would be communication, followed closely by money – and most of the time, it would be the lack of either that gives rise to discontentment. Well, how you communicate is one thing, so you might as well minimize any risk of misunderstanding with the proper tools at your disposal – the art of using the right words, waiting for the right moment and tone of voice would be something else altogether. WhitePages intends to merge social, call and text ID into a solitary app in order to usher a better communications experience.

2012 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Practice Day 2 brings out the big guns (video)

During the first practice day of the 2012 Pikes Peak Hill Climb we checked out Monster Tajima's new electric-powered E-runner and watched the Vintage and Exhibition divisions roar up the mountain. Our second day, however, was reserved for the fastest of the groups – Unlimited, Time Attack and Open Wheel – which were running in the bottom portion of the course that determines qualifying times. While one might think that the Unlimited class would be less interesting without Monster Tajima and Rhys Millen in the mix, this year's grouping is perhaps more intriguing than ever.

And we are talking about something that probably has never been done before. Google calls the update “point, tap, brush, and listen” and even said that it is now getting closer to the Babel fish. The said update now allows aspiring polyglots to use their smartphone camera to input text without typing.

Chilly Chair uses static electricity to raise your arm hair, force an 'emotional reaction' (hands-on video)

Hiding in the back of the SIGGRAPH Emerging Technologies demo area - exactly where such a project might belong - is a dark wood chair that looks anything but innocent. Created by a team at the University of Electro-Communications in Toyko, Chilly Chair, as it's called, may be a reference to the chilling feeling the device is tasked with invoking. After signing a liability waiver, attendees are welcomed to pop a squat before resting their arms atop a cool, flat metal platform hidden beneath a curved sheath that looks like something you may expect to see in Dr.

Nissan shows off crowdsourced 370Z

How often do you leave a comment on a post, "It would be cool if that car had (insert Part X)." It's always fun to think "what if?" Well, Nissan has taken advantage of the creative minds of enthusiasts everywhere by crowdsourcing the build of a custom 370Z. Nothing was off limits for modification.

Google to pay $22.5 million to settle FTC privacy charges

. The Federal Trade Commission on Thursday announced that Google (GOOG) has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $22.5 million to settle charges that it misrepresented itself to users of Apple's (AAPL) Safari Web browser. Earlier this year, it was discovered that the Internet giant had been bypassing the security settings on Safari to install unwanted third-party tracking cookies on computers even when such actions were supposed to be blocked. "The record setting penalty in this matter sends a clear message to all companies under an FTC privacy order," said Jon Leibowitz, Chairman of the FTC.

Verizon's Galaxy S III gets global roaming workaround, packs its bags

What's the point of owning Samsung's shiny new flagship if you can't take it on tour. Well, prior to Verizon's Galaxy S III launch, customers were promised that global roaming would be enabled sometime in the future via an OTA update. That unspecified date has yet to come, but if it's something of a priority for you, XDA Developers forum member lair12 has discovered a way make it happen without Big Red's involvement. We feel we should add a warning here - switching from LTE to GSM isn't a simple process and goes far beyond a basic rooting (which, of course, is required).

Burner app for the iPhone will give you a disposable number

So you just listed an item for sale on Craigslist or eBay and you would much prefer if you didn't give out your real number to a complete stranger. Short of you going out and buying a disposable phone, there's an app for that. Dubbed Burner, this iPhone app basically provides you with a new phone number that's good for either 20 minutes, 60 text messages or seven days. After which you can press the "Burn" button in the app which will then wipe the number from Ad Hoc's (the company who developed the app) servers.

Apple online store now selling refurbished third-gen iPads

If you've been eyeing the third-generation iPad but felt that it might be a little out of your budget, it seems that Apple's online refurbished stores have been recently updated to include third-gen iPads. If you don't mind owning a previously owned product then perhaps the refurbished store might be worth checking out. Granted the savings on each tablet is only $50, we guess it's better than nothing and will probably please those who have been keeping their eyes open for a deal.

By future we mean that if you plan to keep your MacBook Pro for the next few years, it is natural that wear and tear will take place, and there is also the likelihood that the laptop's battery life will not be what it was when you first bought it. While certain laptop manufacturers allow the battery to be removed while charging, unfortunately this is not the case for the MacBook Pro.

Olympus hangs $57 million loss on austerity, strong yen and declining compact camera market

Olympus is reporting a $56.7 million loss for its first quarter of 2012. While its coveted medical imaging arm remains profitable, its life-science and industrial unit suffered thanks to corporate belt-tightening. Unsurprisingly, its low-end compact camera market is shrinking, but sales of its OM-D E-M5 ILC increased by 50 percent, offsetting some of the losses and reducing operating losses from $89 million last quarter to $19 million in this one.

Raspberry Pi teases finished Gertboard I/O extender, revs creative engines

The Raspberry Pi faithful have been looking forward to the Gertboard almost as much as the main device itself: Gert van Loo's I/O extender promises to flash lights, spin motors and otherwise take on the tasks that the Raspberry Pi doesn't directly manage on its own. While we've seen work on the project since late 2011, the expansion now looks to be closer to reality following a fresh teaser. The refined design's biggest tweak is replacing its original PIC controller with an Arduino-powered chip - an element no doubt familiar to the crowd that would already be looking at a very hackable, miniature Linux computer.

Apple could screw over iPhone repair shops with crazy new screw design

. People who think Apple (AAPL) products are difficult to repair now haven't seen anything yet. A Reddit user named “thrownawayyesok” has posted a picture of dubious veracity showing that Apple is purportedly redesigning its screws to have asymmetric heads that might drive any third-party iPhone repairers to the brink of madness. Apple has come under fire in recent years for making its devices increasingly more difficult for third-party repair shops to crack, and the repair gurus at iFixit this summer said that Apple's new MacBook Pro was one of the least repairable laptops they've ever encountered.

Netflix ‘Just for Kids' on the Xbox 360 debuts

Even though there were just two channels to choose from, I never really complained that there was nothing to watch on TV. Fast forward to today, and many people gripe and complain about how there is “nothing to watch” on TV despite surfing through hundreds of TV channels in the process.

T-Mobile's new myTouch, myTouch Q and Samsung Galaxy Note available now

Today, T-Mobile USA has started selling three Android smartphones - one made by Samsung, and two by Huawei. The one from Samsung is, of course, the Galaxy Note.

Anyway, if you want to get the Note from T-Mobile, you have to pay $249.99 on contract, or $599.99 off contract.

The Huawei-made T-Mobile handsets are the myTouch, and the QWERTY-equipped myTouch Q. Both cost $49.99 on contract, and you can buy either of them here (in two color versions).

Exogear's Exovolt Plus 'stackable' battery pack claims to be the first of its kind

We've seen (and tested) a fair share of interesting power packs during our time, and Exogear's hoping to make a mark of its own in this very juicy department with what the outfit's calling "the world's first" stackable battery pack. The newly minted Exovolt Plus consists of a main 5,200 mAh kit, which can then be paired - or, in this particular case, stacked - alongside a "Sub Battery" unit to create the ultimate portable charging station. One thing worth noting, though, is that each extra stack will be sold separately for nearly $50, while the essential Exovolt Plus is set to run at about $90 minus some change.

Android smartphones are no longer the only mobile devices that can be found in the UK to have gone below the £100 price threshold. The HTC Mozart has boldly taken Windows Phone over that line. Sure, the Mozart is really quite old for this day and age, as it was part of the first batch of Windows Phones to be released in 2010. But it's running WP 7.5, and has decent features considering the price. Which is just £99.95 on Pay as you go, with a complimentary £10 top-up.

Phones 4U is the retailer offering the Mozart for such a low price, and you can get one with a PAYG SIM card from T-Mobile, O2, Orange, or Vodafone.

Google gets patent for eye tracking-based unlock system, shifty looks get you access

Look up. Now down. Back up here again. Imagine having to do that every time you wanted to unlock your phone, as this granted Google patent for "Unlocking a screen using eye tracking information" possibly suggests. Okay, it actually looks more like it's intended for the firm's super spectacles - which given their general hands-free nature - makes more sense. The claims are fairly straightforward, unlocking of a device would be granted based on "determining that a path associated with the eye movement substantially matches a path of the moving object".
