HISY wants you to take as many selfies as you can

HISY-033
Why are we so interested in looking at our faces? Does it make it think about what we used to look like, and compare it to the current version of ourselves? It could be personal growth, but oftentimes it’s a good way to validate yourself by posting tons of face photos online for social media sites to your followers to give you a confidence boost. Nothing wrong with that, but some people do get to be a bit excessive about it.

If you take the selfie game pretty seriously, then you’re likely in the market for a shutter remote control so you don’t have blurry photos. The HISY is one such item that will work with your iDevice without the use of an app. All it needs to do to connect is be paired via Bluetooth. This can go for almost two years (based on doing 100 shots a day!) without needing a battery replacement, so you won’t need to worry about having to charge one more device.

This would be perfect for creative selfies or group shots as it has a range of 30-90 feet. It will cost you around $25, which isn’t too bad for such an item. There is even a headphone jack attachment so you can keep it handy at all times rather than stuffing it in your bag and missing a perfect photo opportunity. If you also like to record videos, this will be able to start and stop the recording process.

Apple Patent Could Result In Live Call Screening

Apple Patent Could Result In Live Call ScreeningThe U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has just assigned Apple a patent that will entail passive audio call screening ability using an off-site voicemail service, a feature which theoretically speaking, can be applied to various smartphone platforms, the iPhone included. Apple’s U.S. Patent No. 8,666,034 for “Audio call screening for hosted voicemail systems” might eventually deliver a staple landline technology to handsets worldwide. Folks who still own personal answering machines will have fond memories of the ability to screen calls after letting the machine pick up the incoming call. Should the call be worth responding to, one can simply pick up the handset and start talking. This new Apple patent would work with hosted voicemail services, where they are off-site and rather similar in some ways to those offered by cellular operators.

    Volvo Demonstrates Apple’s CarPlay Features In Video

    Just yesterday Apple announced CarPlay which is basically Apple’s way of integrating iOS into vehicles in a bigger way. It would basically provide vehicles with an interface that they can use to navigate the different features, as well as interact with their phones via Siri by pressing a button on their steering wheel.

    The goal is to make driving safe as our smartphones these days do a lot more than just answer calls. Along with the announcement of CarPlay, Apple also announced some of their partners who would be integrating the feature into their vehicles later this year, and one of those partners is Volvo who has since uploaded a video online showing off some of the CarPlay features.
