Considering your smartphone shutter is likely pretty decent at this point, you probably tend to do at least a little basic photo editing. If you’re an Android user you now have one more great option for that with Snapseed. More »

Just a couple of months ago, Google acquired photo-editing app Snapseed. The company is now releasing an Android version of the app, as well as updating the iOS version. The best part, however, is that they’ve dropped the price of both versions to no cost at all, bringing advanced photo-editing tools to iOS and Android users for free.
The app features basic editing tools like tune, straighten, and crop, and it also comes with different creative filters like black & white and vintage that you can apply individually to photos or in combination. There’s also a feature called Control Point, which allows you to selectively edit your photo by brightening just a face or darken just the sky.
The app now also comes with Google+ integration, allowing you to easily share your Snapseed creations seamlessly with your friends on Google’s social network. You can also tag other Google+ members and share to specific Circles. It’s yet another method that will hopefully encourage users to take advantage of the company’s social networking site.
The creators of the app have exclaimed that Snapseed isn’t a competitor to Instagram, and they’re no where close to wanting to copy the popular photo-sharing app. Google has made it clear that it’s not a head-to-head battle with Instagram, since Google’s strategy is to go after the users who want more customization when editing photos, instead of just applying retro filters.
Snapseed is available now for free in the Google Play store, and the updated iOS version is also available now for free in the iTunes App Store.

It’s Come To This: You Can Get Rewards Just for Not Texting During a Movie Now
Posted in: Today's Chili
Hey all you IDIOT KIDS. Don’t text during a movie. Don’t do look at your phone. Don’t touch it. Don’t even think about it. That’s just basic common fucking courtesy you halfwit assholes. But because we’re horrible creatures that can’t resist checking Instagram once every 15 minutes, Cinemark will reward you for leaving your phone alone during a movie. It’s as if the Justice Department started giving tax breaks to people who don’t commit murder. More »

GoPro Android app now available
Posted in: Today's ChiliGoPro, the makers behind the Hero series of action sports cameras, has had an iOS app for a while now, but finally the company released an Android app today that gives users the ability to control their GoPro cameras from their Android handsets, along with some other fun features that iOS users have been enjoying for some time now.
GoPro announced the news via their Twitter account, and they teased that “full control of camera settings and remote viewfinder/preview” were just some of the features that come with the Android app. Other cool features include daily highlight clips, as well as changing to different modes right from the app.
There are a few caveats, though. The app isn’t compatible with the Original HD Hero camera, and compatibility with the Hero3 editions won’t be available until later this month and into December, which means that the company’s Hero2 camera is the only camera that’s compatible with the app. You’ll also need a GoPro WiFi BacPac in order to get remote functionality, and your Android device must be running at least Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
However, if you’re still stuck on the original Hero camera, now may actually be a good time to upgrade if you ever wanted to have remote functionality from your smartphone. Now that the Hero3 is on its way (some Best Buys are already selling it), you might be able to grab a Hero2 for pretty cheap.
The GoPro app is a free download and it’s available now in the Google Play store.
