iPhone hacker @conradev has found a way to enable the “secret” panorama mode within the iOS 5 camera app. At the moment, you can only enable it on a jailbroken iPhone by tweaking a plist file, com.apple.mobileslideshow.plist, and setting ‘EnableFirebreak’ to YES, but an easy-to-use hack should appear...

crystalsaintfleur posted an entry Sennheiser RS 220 wireless headphones hands-on (video)crystalsaintfleur's blog
A packed noisy environment isn't the ideal location to conduct audio tests, but given the conditions, the RS 220 performed well -- Aerosmith's Love in an Elevator was clear and crisp, with a reasonable amount of bass. The headphones were quite comfortable as well -- the velvet-like cups formed a fairly secure fit without putting too much pressure on our ears, as you might expect given the sky-high price tag. They're rated for a distance of up to 300 feet, though the connection dropped at just over 50 feet during our brief test period tonight -- you'll likely see better range outdoors, however. Jump past the break for a video walkthrough and the PR from Sennheiser.

crystalsaintfleur posted an entry First Firefox 6 build next week, Firefox 7 by May, and aurora channel introducedcrystalsaintfleur's blog
Along with the faster 6-week release cadence, Firefox's new Chrome-like release channels have also been given names and anticipated update frequencies. The most notable change is the introduction of a new alpha channel -- which is analogous to Chrome Canary -- that will be called 'aurora' and will update nightly. Aurora will be where fixes and features are tested, and either approved for Beta, or backed out to Central. Aurora will have a new icon, too.
The Nightly (mozilla-central) channel will remain unchanged in name and frequency, but it will gain a new 'nightly icon.' The Beta (mozilla-beta) channel will remain as-is, with new builds rolling out weekly. The Release (mozilla-release) channel will also remain as-is, with security and stability updates coming every 6 to 12 weeks.
It should be noted that the names (including 'aurora') are not necessarily final, but it's unlikely that they'll change. We're also awaiting the arrival of the new 'channel switching' technology, which should arrive in the next few days -- in time for the release of Firefox 6 aurora!

crystalsaintfleur posted an entry Line Grapefruit is a tricky Flash "path" gamecrystalsaintfleur's blog
That's what you have to deal with in Line Grapefruit. But that's not all - you're also on a time limit. In fact, you have a very limited amount of time to make it through the "path" (for lack of a better word). You need to snake your way through the winding trail without touching anything. The good news is that a grapefruit only kills you if it touches the end of the line - once you've made it past the grapefruit, nothing happens if it crosses the path you've made.
This is not an easy game, but it's quite unique - I can't recall seeing another game quite like it.

crystalsaintfleur posted an entry T-Mobile to carry Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus with 4G, available November 16th for $250crystalsaintfleur's blog
We were already expecting to see the WiFi-only version of the
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus make its American debut on November 13th, but it may be
worth waiting an extra three days if you'd like to have some good
old-fashioned HSPA+ connectivity on T-Mobile. Indeed, the carrier
announced its 4G-ified iteration of the tablet will be ready for
your purchase on November 16th for a $250 down payment after a
mail-in rebate and with a two-year contract. Oh, and that's not
the only fine print: you'll need to shell out twenty monthly
interest-free payments of $10 in addition to your normal
data plan. To sum up the specs, the seven-inch tablet has Android
3.2 preinstalled, runs on a 1.2GHz Exynos CPU, has 16GB of
internal storage and takes advantage of a 3MP rear-facing camera
and 2MP front-facing cam for video chat. Still intrigued? Read on
through the press release to learn more about your potential Tab
life.

crystalsaintfleur posted an entry Facebook launches unified mobile site, announces 250 million mobile userscrystalsaintfleur's blog
Facebook has announced that its two mobile sites
-- m.facebook.com and touch.facebook.com -- have been unified,
bringing a simpler mobile experience to Facebook users. And there
are a lot of those -- a quarter billion, according
to Facebook.Smartphone users won't be losing any functionality because of the consolidation. If your phone supported the enhacned features offered by touch.facebook.com, the new site will automatically flip the switch when you visit.
Rolling the sites together helps simplify things for Facebook's developer team. Now changes can be pushed to a single site instead of two separate sites, which makes it easier to ensure that all mobile users receive a nearly identical experience regardless of the device they're using.
The new Facebook mobile can also check to see if your phone supports geolocation. If it doesn't, you won't be seeing much of Facebook Places -- which obviously relies heavily on geolocation. Images can also be optimized on the fly to keep page performance from suffering on less powerful devices. You can see the three different versions of the share button below, courtesy our friends at TechCrunch.

crystalsaintfleur posted an entry Nook Simple Touch upgrade hands-on (video)crystalsaintfleur's blog
The Tablet may have gotten most of the glory at
today's Nook event, but there was plenty of love to go around
across the line. The Color got some solid multimedia upgrades, courtesy of Hulu Plus,
Pandora, Rhapsody and the like, and the Nook Touch -- now known
as the Nook Simple Touch -- received a few bumps of its own,
beyond that price drop to $99. The Nook Simple Touch 1.1
software upgrade brings among other things, longer battery life
-- which, for obvious reasons, we can't actually test effectively
at the moment. According to B&N, you should get two months of
battery life reading an hour per day post-upgrade, versus up
to two months reading half an hour each day pre-upgrade. The
upgrade also promises a crisper display, and holding a pre- and
post-upgrade Nook next to each other, the difference is certainly
detectable. It's not a huge difference, but the slightly darker
text does improve the reading experience, over all.
Also on the list of improvements is a faster turn rate. Indeed, there is a slight difference, with the updated reader scrolling through a bit faster (though the two readers did go back and forth as we had them scroll through a book) -- the upgrade, according to B&N, will save you a fraction of a second per page, so don't expect to be wowed on that front. Both readers have roughly the same refresh rate, doing a full page refresh every six pages or so. All in all, some welcome changes to a nicely discounted reader, making the Nook Simple Touch a solid contender for this holiday. Video of the page turns after the break.
