TechCrunch | Reuters Agrees: The Next iPhone Will Be Larger
techcrunch.com » The Wall Street Journal made waves yesterday. Citing unnamed sources, the Journal reported Apple is ordering larger touchscreens for the next iPhone. Now, citing its own unnamed sources, Reuters somewhat confirmed the reported. Prepare yourself, iPhone diehards. All signs point to a larger iPhone.
The thought of a larger iPhone clearly scares people. Read the comments on my post yesterday, "It's Time For A Larger iPhone." They say 3.5-inches is the best size. You don't have to move your thumb to navigate the whole screen, they say. A phone with a 3.5-inch screen fits in my hipster jeans!
But really, the main underlying thread seems to be some people are afraid that, just perhaps, Apple will adopt something from Android like the trend of a larger screen. Scary, I know.

nofilmschool.com » We're trying to share more actual shorts and not just camera tests here, as a difference of one stop in dynamic range from one camera to the next is not going to make or break your narrative or doc.

TechCrunch | Slide.ly Is Bringing Back The Mashup With Its Social Slideshow Service
techcrunch.com » The lowly photo slideshow is not dead yet, or at least that's the hope of the team at Tel Aviv-based EasyHi, which is debuting its new product Slide.ly today, backed by $1 million in seed funding. The company aims to pick up where Slide.com (acquired by Google in 2010) left off. It's building a slideshow creation tool for the new age, using sources like Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Pickplz, and Picasa, as well as Google Images, photos from your friends or those from your computer. You then mix that content with music from SoundCloud and YouTube and add - you guessed it - Instagram-like effects.
Although there's no space on Facebook to "embed" your glorious creation permanently, as Slide.com's shows were once pinned on dizzy MySpace pages, the resulting slideshows can be shared to your Facebook TimeLine or page, tweeted or emailed.

TechCrunch | The Weather Channel Beautifies And Socializes Its iPhone App
techcrunch.com » In an effort to streamline its digital offerings, The Weather Channel has today announced that its popular iPhone app has undergone a major redesign. It started with the launch of the iPad app, and just a few weeks ago The Weather Channel followed suit on the webThe Weather Channel followed suit on the web. But the iPhone marks a major portal between TWC and its consumers, in that mobile and weather undoubtedly go hand in hand.
The redesign reminds me a bit of HTC's Sense 3, with the home screen offering up a weather-themed background based on the weather outside. The user interface seems much more navigable, but the features themselves are getting a bump as well.

github.com » New version (2.1.0) is out and it ruined our application. We had to pin the gem version in Gemfile, otherwise we couldn't migrate and couldn't run application. It took A WHOLE DAY to understand which component has fucked up our application, because we couldn't believe that a stable component can suddenly change its behaviour. As I can see, rejecting backward compatibility is considered a normal behaviour in an open source world.
