Hasta La Gadget!

Last year we saw a concept for a pair of glasses that applies Instagram’s filters through its lenses. Bruno Ribeiro took a more literal approach with his Real Life Instagram series, taking not just Instagram’s filters but its entire interface into the real world.

But the thing that makes Real Life Instagram so effective is its acknowledgement of the app users’ tastes. Bruno frames random objects – oftentimes just portions of them – with his cardboard interface, pre-liked and pre-hashtagged.

Here’s the money shot:

Instagramception. Ah, the failure of freedom. When you give everyone the ability to express themselves, you’ll quickly realize that most of us don’t have anything worthwhile to say. But I’d still take that over silence any day.

There are many tools that video editors use to censor out content that’s not supposed to be seen. For example, many cable channels pixelize exposed body parts so that they can air it on TV. People have since moved on to use other forms of censorship, like blurring out the offending parts (or faces).

Taking the pixelization process further and turning it mainstream is the Nudifier app. It promises to let you ‘nudify’ any image you have and transform it into a ‘sexy naked photo.’ In actuality, it simply pixelates the area you choose and nothing more.

The app asks you to choose a skin color and fill in the area that you want to be nudified. Tap the orange button and voila! You’ll have a pixelated and slightly obscene naked picture of anyone that you’ll choose to violate via pixels.

Try it on friends, teachers, and even your pet. Just don’t try it on your mom and dad – I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t want to see them naked, even if it leaves the censored parts to your imagination.

The Nudified app is being offered for free at the iTunes App Store for a limited time.

Adobe’s cloud-based photo storage and editing app has been enjoying its new name since it hopped off the Carousel, and now it’s appreciating a feature bump too. Version 1.5 has just hit the virtual shelves of the Mac and iTunes stores, complete with a new UI and the option to log in using Facebook or Google accounts. Functionality wise, the update adds text captioning for your snaps and the ability to create albums which auto-sync across your devices and can be shared with others via the web. Alright, so the update isn’t revolutionizing the service, but we’re sure those that currently subscribe are reveling in it.
