Just got an iPad? The best apps, accessories, and tips

Posted in: accessories, apps, ipad, Tips and Tricks, Today's Chili

So, Santa stuffed an iPad into your stocking on Christmas (insert mythical figure / appropriate receptacle / holiday of choice), and you’re wondering what to do with the thing? First of all, congratulations! The iPad can be a wonderful, loyal companion and friend, but it can also take a while to warm up to. As we always say, a device is only as good as its apps, both literally and figuratively: it’ll take some time to figure out what you want to get from the iTunes Store that will flesh out your experience, but it will also take some time to see which nooks and crannies of your life the iPad can fill, and what roles you’ll want it to take over from your laptop and phone. Follow along after the break as we show you how to wring the most out of your shiny new tablet.

Logitech says Google hasn’t asked it to halt Google TV production

Posted in: Google, GoogleTv, Today's Chili
It was a bit too late to fend off a more than 3% drop in its stock price, but Logitech has finally come out and refuted those rumors that it was asked to halt production of its Google TV hardware until a significant update could be rolled out. As VP of corporate communications Nancy Morrison explains, Logitech “has not been asked by Google to suspend production of its Google TV products,” and that such a suspension wouldn’t even be necessary as “every Logitech Revue companion box will receive free over-the-air updates whenever Google and Logitech release software enhancements.” That statement has now also been backed up by Logitech’s official blog, which assures customers that “all’s well with Logitech Revue,” and that Logitech will be out in force at CES next month to demonstrate “how Google TV is transforming the TV-watching experience.”

Posted in: ipod touch, Miscellaneous Tech, MP3 Digital Audio, samsung, Today's Chili

Samsung Galaxy Player

A number of people have noticed the uncanny similarities between the Samsung Galaxy S phones and the iPhone and iPod Touch, both in the hardware design and the way Samsung has skinned Android to look a lot like iOS. 
Now, Samsung is taking on the iPod Touch with the Galaxy Player, which the company has announced will be showcased next month at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. 
The Galaxy Player will run Android 2.2, have a 1GHz processor under the hood, and feature an 800×480 pixel resolution LCD display. The player will support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and feature a front and rear-facing camera, just like the iPod Touch. Pricing and availability haven’t been announced, but it’s likely there’ll be more details next week at CES.

Posted in: app, Apple, apps, camera, ios, iPhone, Retro, Software, Today's Chili

You know who you are, hipsters. You’re the kind of person who isn’t satisfied with merely taking a photo of your Pabst Blue Ribbon with your iPhone 4: you have to make it old timey before you Tweet it, Facebook it, Instagram it, print it out and mail a physical copy of it to your best friend from the third grade… oh wait, that last one’s just us. Well, you’re in luck: you can now pretend like your brand new, high def videos are also from the olden days, just like your faux old timey photos. The new app, called 8mm Vintage Camera will add dust particles, scratches and age for you in seconds via a fun set of ‘unique’ filters. Sounds like a hoot, right? It’s available for $2 in the app store right now for iOS devices. You know you want it. Video demo after the break.

Photoshop Salt and Pepper Shakers Tell Dinner Guests You’re a Designer

Posted in: Miscellaneous Tech, Tech Toys, Today's Chili

PhotoShop Salt and Pepper Shaker

Hilariously named Frack Design decided that the blue, block-shaped logo for Adobe Photoshop introduced in CS3 made for an equally entertaining double entendre. Taking the block-shaped icon and splitting it into a smaller “P” block for pepper and “S” block for salt lets Frack make a PhotoShop salt and pepper shaker set that designers everywhere will recognize immediately as the desktop icon for PhotoShop. 
Admittedly Frack Design isn’t selling the set, it’s just a design and is designed to be more of a talking point than an actual product, but you never know, you might see it on store shelves someday soon, or someone may just take it upon themselves to make one. Still, if you’re a graphic designer and proud of it, this could make a fun DIY project.

Windows Live Mail Having Problems

Posted in: Pre-Release, Software, Today's Chili

Windows Live Mail Having Problems

I signed up for Windows Live Mail Beta using the ‘hacked’ way and apparently MSN doesn’t know that I am signed up for the account already. When the service was first released I had signed up to be part of the Beta, but I haven’t gotten anything until I received this email at my Hotmail address and it sounds pretty interesting:

Thanks so much for your interest in Windows Live Mail beta

This is kind of embarrassing to admit, but we have a bug that won’t allow us to make the Windows Live Mail beta available to you at this time. We know it stinks but, if we set you up with this beta, there is a risk that you might lose some of the best stuff that comes with your MSN Premium account. We are working hard to get this bug resolved and once it is, we will send you a mail and move you to the beta.

Best regards,
The Windows Live Mail beta team
