we will : show you 3.0

Just down­loaded this new ver­sion of Showyou. It’s an inter­est­ing app to share your video stream with your social net­work on Face­book and twit­ter. The inter­face has always felt a bit hap­haz­ard. We’re hop­ing this ver­sion will be better.

We’re test­ing it out now.

This will be yet another smart way to con­nect video to social activity.

We’ve con­nected it to our twit­ter account for our other com­pany and will let you know what we think soon.

Mean­time down­load it your­self from the App Store so you can tell us what you think too.

Trying out Mattebox for iPhone

By: Stella Gassaway, stellarvisions

software

Inter­est­ing… Mat­te­box fea­tures pro­fes­sional adjust­ments, for con­trol over color, expo­sure, sat­u­ra­tion, gamma, vignette, and crop. This cool app is mod­eled after the leg­endary Kon­ica Hexar. It’s an app that’s about tak­ing pic­tures not manip­u­lat­ing them.  It’s a bit higher priced than most cam­era apps on the App Store at $3.99 but it looks pretty darn good.

Yes, we’ve downloaded iBooks Author

Yep. We downoaded the new iBook Author App as soon as it was available.

We’re just begin­ning to test it out and see what it can do with sim­ple tag­ging in Pages and Word for import­ing. Can’t wait to drag and drop a Keynote deck into a book and see what happens.

From the pre­sen­ta­tion and the demo’s it looks pretty sweet. We even down­loaded a book to see what read­ing and inter­act­ing with one is like. More on what we think soon.

Google is about losing control over our privacy.

We agree with Gruber.

Fear of Apple is about los­ing con­trol over the soft­ware on our com­put­ers. Fear of Google is about los­ing con­trol over our privacy.

Me, I use an iPhone sim­ply because I think it’s the best. But it fits with which com­pany I’m more wor­ried about, too.

Adobe will cease developing mobile flash plugin. We win.

It’s over and we won.

Finally Adobe has come to under­stand it’s Flash mobile plug-in isn’t worth the trou­ble. Lucky us. The plu­gin was crap on mobile and now it seems Adobe got the message.

 

from Adobe:

Our future work with Flash on mobile devices will be focused on enabling Flash devel­op­ers to pack­age native apps with Adobe AIR for all the major app stores. We will no longer adapt Flash Player for mobile devices to new browser, OS ver­sion or device con­fig­u­ra­tions. Some of our source code licensees may opt to con­tinue work­ing on and releas­ing their own imple­men­ta­tions. We will con­tinue to sup­port the cur­rent Android and Play­Book con­fig­u­ra­tions with crit­i­cal bug fixes and secu­rity updates.

F.lux software to use daily.

Stay­ing up too late glued to the blue glow of your com­puter screen? We’ve got a piece of soft­ware for you. F.lux . We’ve installed it and love it. Cross plat­form — try it and let us know what you think.

stereopsis.com/flux/

f.lux changes the color tem­per­a­ture of your dis­play. Nat­ural light is more blue, while most arti­fi­cial light (includ­ing can­dle­light) is warmer. Incan­des­cent bulbs, which we’re all used to, become more red in tone when you dim them. But newer LEDs and CFLs don’t — this includes the back­light on your mon­i­tor. If you’re a pho­tog­ra­pher, you’ve prob­a­bly dealt with this, since pic­tures taken inside at night are always much more brown than pho­tos outside.

Look­ing for an  image manip­u­la­tion App? For a mere $29.99 Pix­el­ma­tor will do every­thing you need. We hate hav­ing to launch Pho­to­shop for sim­ple photo tasks and manip­u­la­tion. With Pix­el­ma­tor you never have to buy Photoshop.

The inter­face is awe­some and fun.

We can’t wait for it to be iPad ready.
