Hasta La Gadget!

BioShock Infinite, a game that was released on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC earlier this year, has broken new ground in the world of gaming then, but there is more to the game than that as two different sets of downloadable content has also been announced to inject new life into BioShock Infinite. The first one, known as Clash in the Clouds has been made available to the masses today. Clash in the Clouds happens to be a rather challenging, battle arena-style event that has been modeled after the game’s tough 1999 mode, where you are required to dispatch of your enemies under selected conditions, where the cash that you obtain after achieving such objectives can be used to further unlock more bonuses that range from audio files to concept art.

Levine shared, “So I thought, maybe we can do something where we give the player the opportunity to just play with the full toolset, and all of the powers and upgrades and everything, and create far more challenging gameplay for them. So with that in mind, we gathered up the people really specialized in combat on Infinite and essentially told them the gloves were off, you guys can make whatever you want.”

As for the second DLC, it will take place in the city of Rapture and comprises of a two-part outing that will be called “Burial at Sea.”

Take a bite out of Jupiter.

First, there was Earth cake. Then, Cakecrumbs created Jupiter cake, a treat designed to match our theoretical knowledge of the massive planet’s structure. It’s yummy and educational.

Building the gas giant out of cake batter, fondant, and edible ink turned out to be a challenge. Just painting in all the details and storms on the outside took 8 hours. Cakecrumbs used reference photos in an attempt to be as accurate as possible. Cutting open the cake reveals a round core covered by two layers representing liquid metallic hydrogen and molecular hydrogen.

We know what Jupiter looks like, but what does Jupiter taste like? The outer layer is marshmallow fondant. Inside, the core is mudcake. Next, comes a layer of almond butter cake. The blue outer layer is vani… [Read more]

Sometimes, good oral hygiene just isn’t enough to keep your mouth full of pearly whites perfectly intact. That’s where science comes in (we’d hope). But the newest foray into fabricating teeth for when our bodies no longer can might be better left in the lab—or lavatory, as the case may be. Because scientists are now trying to grow teeth out of human urine.

It now takes even less time to show off your mad shredding skills. With the latest update to the GoPro companion app, owners of the popular action cameras can now view, edit and, most importantly, share content from a smartphone or tablet.

The app is simple enough. It connects to GoPro cams through a WiFi signal, giving owners a large set of available tools. The cameras can be viewed and controlled from a smartphone or tablet, for one –this includes adjusting the dozens of available settings on each little guy. Owners can also view, manage and download content from the camera to their phones. From there, it can be shared like any other media. Upload the action to Geocities or FriendFeed like you would any other picture.

This update again shows how GoPro has long maintained its dominance in an increasingly competitive market. From offerings from major brands like Sony to upstarts building options for smartphones, the action camera market is getting awfully crowded. But GoPro has steadily released substantial updates to both its hardware and software to keep the products fresh. Combine that with the very aggressive targeted marketing and it’s clear how GoPro stays on top.

This update is available now and is compatible with the GoPro Hero3 and Hero2 cameras once updated to the latest firmware.

Hipstamatic Oggl app users might want to rethink those subscriptions. Select Windows Phone 8 imaging apps, such as Instance, may no longer be able to upload images to Instagram’s photo sharing service. According to a spokesperson’s comment published on The Verge, the site has updated its API, restricting access to third-party apps in an effort to “fight spam to help prevent future attacks and increase security.” Images apparently still pop up on the platform, but are deleted seconds later. For now, it appears that the only way to share images on Instagram is to capture them directly within the app, or through a supported service like Hipstamatic Oggl, leaving some WP8 and BlackBerry users out in the cold. Let’s hope this unwelcome change means additional OS support is on the way.

Update: We spoke to an Instagram representative, who provided the same ambiguous response we’ve already seen reported. “We recently made an update to the systems that we use to fight spam to help prevent future attacks and increase security. As part of this, applications accessing Instagram against the terms of our API may also be affected. This update does not specifically target any particular app or platform.” Unfortunately, it’s not clear which apps are affected, including Hipstamatic Oggl, but we’re currently testing several third-party offerings and we’ll share our results shortly.

Update 2: We’ve managed to test Hipstamatic Oggl, and the app was successfully able to upload an image to Instagram. It appears that this new restriction is limited to apps that aren’t accessing the service in line with API requirements.
