New Device Turns Eye Movement Into Handwriting [Video]

I always dreamed about being able to write or draw with no hands, using just my eyes. This new device invented by Dr. Jean Lorenceau at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie-Paris would allow me to do exactly that. Magic? Science! More »

Is HP showing the Slate 8 in its latest commercial? (video)

Is HP showing the Slate 8 in its latest commercial video

HP has acknowledged that it's been working on a Windows 8 tablet; it just hasn't mentioned whether or not the rumored Slate 8 is part of its plans. Imagine our surprise, then, when we're told that HP's 60-second "Make It Matter" commercial ends with an unannounced yet familiar-looking tablet right at the 56-second mark. There's only a fleeting glimpse, but it shows a metallic-looking body with a large black antenna window -- the combination of which would fit in with the Slate 8's purported aesthetics. We've asked HP whether or not this is a clever teaser for a real product or just as conceptual as the rest of the ad, and we'll let you know if we hear back on the subject. In the meantime, you can inspect the video evidence for yourself after the break.

[Thanks, Brian]

Weekly Photo Contest: Sexy Beach!

It's time to announce this week's photo contest -- and the winner of last week's gadget photography contest. Before I do, I want to congratulate everyone on their awesome entries. We've got some talented iPhoneographer readers here at iMore and it wasn't an easy decision!

And the winning entry is...

...this awesome photo of SimpleAsItSeems's Nikon FE with a 50mm 1.8 Series E lens! The high contrast between the camera and everything else made for a perfect black and white conversion. Great work SimpleAsItSeems!

SimpleAsItSeems took this photo with an iPhone 4S and edited it with Camera+ and VSCO CAM.

This week's contest: Sexy Beach!

We're in the middle of summer which means trips to beaches, lakes, rivers, and just about any body of water we can find. And what do you get when you combine the hot summer sun with water? Half-naked hot bodies! Need we say more? Let's see those sexy beach photos! Now, by "beach", we don't actually mean only the beach -- we're really just looking for an excuse to see sexy bodies -- both male and female! As always, be creative with your photos and find some sexy angles!

Seriously, though, be tasteful. Keep it PG-13, please.

The prize: Glif tripod mount and stand!

In addition to a thumbs up from the iMore crew and all of us yelling about how great of a photo star you are, the winner of this week's photography contest will receive a Glif tripod mount and stand!

The rules

The rules of entry are very simple. The photo must have been taken with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch (we'll check the EXIF data of the original file to verify) and any edits must have been done with an iPhone or iPad app. No Photoshop CS6! If you have external lens accessories you are more than welcome to use them. You can submit as many photos as you'd like, but remember, this is a contest, so make sure you submit your best work!

Resources

Now, before you run off to take your photo, remember that it's not technical skill alone that will claim this prize. Even if you're not the best photographer (yet!), a great eye and a great subject can still get you the win.

However, a little help can never hurt, so make sure you check out these articles from our iPhone photography series for some tips.

How to submit

Submitting your photos is easy. just head over to the iMore Photography Forum and post your photos to the official contest thread. Don't forget to state which apps, if any, you used to edit your photo!

That's it! Now go out and shoot!

Samsung Galaxy S Lightray 4G hides out in the open, heads to MetroPCS

Samsung Galaxy S Lightray 4G hides out in the open, headed to MetroPCS

What's old is apparently new again for MetroPCS subscribers. Thanks to some leaked training materials over on Howard Forums, we have a pretty clear idea of the next Galaxy S device to bow on that budget carrier's lineup -- the Lightray 4G. No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, we've seen this exact phone before at CES 2012 where it was part of Dyle's Mobile TV showcase. And that chassis you see above? It's a mostly unaltered version of Verizon's Droid Charge, although that formerly pointed chin seems to have gotten the Ashlee Simpson treatment. Spec-wise, the 4.3-inch device reportedly packs a Super AMOLED Plus display, 1.3-megapixel front-facing / 8-megapixel rear cameras, 16GB of included microSD storage (what it'll ship with onboard is unknown), HDMI-out and, bizarrely, that aforementioned TV tuner, replete with antenna. No word on when this unofficial fella's set to go legit nor which Google OS treat it'll run, but with a recently surfaced FCC doc and company slides to go off, we're sure to find out sooner rather than later.

WSJ: Apple, Google reportedly in rival groups to buy Kodak patents

Kodachrome 200 film box

Kodak might be cleared to sell its patents, but it's likely no fan of the companies lined up to make a deal. The Wall Street Journal's best friends, "people familiar with the matter," assert that Apple and Google are part of separate coalitions hoping to buy the 1,100 patents up for grabs. Apple's camp supposedly includes Microsoft and controversial patent holder Intellectual Ventures; Google's team reads more like an Android Justice League, with HTC, LG, Samsung and "patent risk solutions" provider RPX all playing a part. Real or not, there's still much that's up in the air. Kodak's not talking, and even the touted insiders warn both of new challengers and allegiances that could be in flux over the next few days. If there's meat on this rumor bone, however, it could make the August 8th auction another patent war spectacle rather than a mere ticket back to solvency for Kodak. Break out the popcorn.

This Is Probably What the Start of WWIII Will Look Like [Video]

The B-52 Stratofortress can carry up to 30,000 pounds of weapons, including—most importantly!—nukes. And it can carry them virtually all around the planet, designed to start (or retaliate) nuclear warfare. Here's a look at armageddon, in night vision. More »

80′s Retro Brick Bluetooth Handset

I’ve seen several retro-styled Bluetooth headsets, but not one that looks like one of the first cell phones.  The 80′s Retro Brick Bluetooth Handset is another Kickstarter project.  You can connect the Brick to your Bluetooth-enabled phone or computer to make or take cellular calls or VoIP calls.  You can even use the Brick as a speakerphone.  It will be available in white, neon green or blue, or hot pink.  You’ll have to make an early-bird pledge of $85 to receive a white Brick.  They still need most of the $150,000 funding goal, with only 17 days left to meet the goal.

Memo to Twitter: Failure Is No Longer Amusing

Twitter is back in action after a data center failure caused worldwide outages for many of its users Thursday. Starting around 8:30 a.m. PT, Twitter users who tried to access the site were greeted with a partially coded message that read, "Twitter is currently down." Users reported outages worldwide -- from North America to Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. An outage within the social networking site's data centers caused the period of darkness.

IBM's Think app brings history of innovation to iPad and Android tablets

IBM THINK brings history of innovation to iPad and Android tablets

IBM first tried to make people "Think" using a pop-up art installation in New York, but now it's switched to something rather more traditional: a tablet app that is available free on iOS and Android. It lays out the timeline of scientific advances like the metal detector, airplane and telescope, and contains a ten-minute HD film on tech innovation, to boot. IBM claims the app will be used in schools to create lesson plans, so you might want to grab it (see coverage link below) before your kids start clueing you in on technology -- even more than usual, that is.
