Little iPhotography Tips Courtesy of the Interwebs

I love the internet. I love the fact that everyday, I can open up Feedly and find a few tidbits of information that help me do something more efficiently. And, as an avid photographer (DSLR and mobile), I love photography tips and tricks.

Here's a brilliant one from TUAW about using your iPhone headset as a cable release while taking pictures, i.e. your headphones can be a remote:

This comes in very handy when you're using a tipbod for your iPhone.

Oh, you don't use a tripod? Well, your second tip is about the Glif:

Google Search for iPad is Good But Needs Real Plus App

Downloaded the new Google search app for the iPad and it has a pretty cool new UI. Other than that it's pretty simple. I wish Google would develop a native app for plus. The web based version sucks. As for the search app, it does have voice and instant search -- two cool features.

Apple's Nod to the Memory of Steve Jobs

As an Apple fan, I'm saddened to hear about the passing of Steve Jobs. The world lost a visionary today. His legacy will live on through the innovative products that Tim Cook, et al, will produce over the next decade and beyond.

In my opinion, Apple does everything right. Even with the passing of Jobs, the company handled it in typical Apple fashion. Simple, to the point and it just seems to work.

See ya Steve.

Apple Allegedly Loses Another Unreleased iPhone…Again

I'm an avid Apple gadget owner. I love my iPhone, Macbook, Mac Air, iPad 1 & 2, etc. Yes, I'm a fanboy. So, of course, I'm following right along with the iPhone 5 rumors. While the iPhone 4 is a great device -- probably the best functioning mobile device I've ever owned -- I'm going to get the iPhone 5. Why? Because I have technology issues. Yes, I know it's silly, but it's my money so...

Anyways…I read this story and said to myself, oh no, not again. Did Apple really lose an iPhone 5 prototype? Didn't we already go through this with the loss of the iPhone 4, which trumped Apple's unreleased device presser -- the last iPhone Steve Jobs will ever unveil?

I find it hard to believe that this is legit. If it is legit, it has to be a PR ploy. You figured that a company with this much marketing power wouldn't stoop to something this low. There are enough rumors, device renderings and leaked parts that most of us Apple watchers have figured out -- within reason -- what the device will look like and what specs might be included.

What do you think? PR ploy or just some moron who got loaded at a bar and forgot his iPhone 5?

No Computer on Vacation; iPhone to the Rescue

Didn't bring my laptop on vacation with me and I thought I'd struggle with that. I'd have to check email, be connected, etc.

But, no problem. iPhone to the rescue. I can read my news sites; check email; blog (writing this on the Squarespace iPhone app); take pics and videos; and, keep tabs on my social nets.

I have an Android Samsung inFuse but for some reason the gps crapped out on the way down here. It wasn't reliable for me but the iPhone on the other hand, is rock solid. It just works. So no need for the laptop. iPhone comes through.

Apple Release New eBook for iBookstore – ‘iPad at Work’ — iPad Insight

The iPad is great on many levels. It's good for reading books, playing games, productivity, etc. It's also great for keeping parents sane, which is a whole other post for another day. In fact, I already wrote that post for CNN and it got a ton of attention.

But, for me, the iPad is mostly about business productivity. That's been the beef with the tablet since day one -- that it was an overblown couch jockeying laptop wannabe. Guess that's why Apple took the effort to explain to you why the device is made for business.
