With revelations that the NSA pretty much has complete access to our online lives, there’s been a recent spike in public concern over surveillance. However, in the real world it’s hard to be upset about security cameras always staring down at you when they look like adorable woodland and jungle creatures. Awwww, there goes my privacy.

I’ve owned a few camera phones over the last several years but the camera part of those phones has always been pretty useless because I rarely used it. I don’t know if it’s because the pictures never turned out that great or because once I took a picture, it just sat on the phone and was never removed. It wasn’t until I got an iPhone that I finally started to use the camera built-in to my phone because it’s easy to use, and it’s just as easy to take the pictures off and share with others. As it turns out, a lot of iPhone users must find it easy to use their cameras because the iPhone is now the most popular camera phone on Flickr.
Now here’s the interesting thing, to take it’s lead on Flickr, the iPhone had to beat out the Nokia N95 which has an amazing 5 megapixel camera built-in. Here the iPhone has a 2 megapixel camera built-in which is nothing when compared to the Nokia N95, yet more people use the iPhone to take their pictures and upload them to Flickr. Take a look at the graph below and you’ll see how the iPhone rather quickly crept on Nokia’s N95 phone and eventually surpassed them:
So what is it about the iPhone that makes it the most popular for browsing the Internet and uploading pictures? Our guess is simply the ease of use that it offers. It’s easy to browse the Internet and it’s easy to upload photos. When there’s a picture an iPhone user wants to send to Flickr, all it takes is first getting a Flickr email address, then adding the email address to your contacts. From there, anytime you want to upload an image from your phone to Flickr, you just pull up the picture, press the “email photo” button, select your Flickr email address and press send.
How often do you use your camera phone for taking pictures?

I have always been rather particular about the video games I played. Back in the day, I preferred games with shooting and skipped a lot of the popular titles out there. That means that I never played some of these classic NES games that have now been turned into unique artworks.
I recognize Contra, Zelda, and Metroid, but some of the others I am not familiar with. An artist named Steph Caskenette created these digital papercraft works. That is a rather strange medium, when you think of it – a digital version of an analog art medium based on digital games.
I would like to see these games actually be made in this form. I would totally play Papercraft Contra. You can also buy prints of them all over on Red Bubble.

Not all scales are created equal, although it would be safe to assume that in most of the homes out there, you would find a regular scale sitting in the bathroom or in a bedroom, tucked nicely underneath the bed. Well, an ordinary scale just provides you with a reading on how heavy you are exactly, and that’s that. The rest of it – exercise routines, fitness regimes, they depend on you. Not so with the £129.99 Withings Smart Body Analyzer Wi-Fi Scale (or Amazon for $149.95), as it does a whole lot more than just show off how heavy you are.
In fact, with the Withings Smart Body Analyzer Wi-Fi Scale, I guess you can more or less associate it with having your very own team of full-time fitness coaches, and there is no need to pay them overtime or any of that sort, and neither do you need to deal with politics. Plain, simple and straight to the point, the Withings Smart Body Analyzer Wi-Fi Scale will be able to measure the likes of your weight, body fat, heart-rate and air quality. Apart from that, it will also sync your smartphone to set goals and track your progress, and has the ability to recognize up to 8 users, where every single one of them would have their own profile, now how about that?

It seems counterintuitive, right? Rip out eight lanes of freeway through the middle of your metropolis and you’ll be rewarded with not only less traffic, but safer, more efficient cities? But it’s true, and it’s happening in places all over the world.
