I came across this the other day and thought it was pretty interesting: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/word-lens/id383463868?mt=8
Once all of the bugs get worked out I think this will be awesome!

Through the magic of TECHNOLOGY, you CAN play PS3 games on your PS4! As well as the Vita and, shockingly, TVs, tablets, and smart phones.

If your wireless router has Wi-Fi Protected Setup (also known as WPS) enabled, you should probably disable WPS and change your pre-shared key. I just read about a security flaw in WPS which allows your pre-shared key to be revealed in only a matter of hours. This flaw has been known for more than two years, so if you have a relatively new wireless router, or if your wireless router's firmware has been updated, you may not be vulnerable to this attack; but I think it's better to be safe than sorry.

Here's a simple fix for a buzzing earbud. I was able to fix the buzzing in my Sennheiser MX980! Thank goodness... I was close to buying something new just because of the buzzing.

I'm curious, what camera apps do you all find yourselves using most often on your smartphones? I have an iPhone, myself, but feel free to post about camera apps for any smartphone.
Without a tripod, I usually choose GCam by John Niclasen. In this app, the exposure is adjusted by spot metering—pointing the camera somewhere (possibly outside the shot you want) and then locking the exposure when it looks bright or dark enough. I think that spot metering provides more precise control than the method of tapping in various places on the viewfinder until you get the exposure you want (though I suppose that spot metering is possible in any camera app with an exposure lock). GCam also has a timer, which can be used to prevent shakes due to tapping a shutter button. I kind of wish it had a histogram, but the way the photo looks in the viewfinder is close to the way it comes out once I view the shot on my computer monitor.
With a tripod, AvgNite Cam by EyeTap Soft takes nice looking still photos. It averages multiple shots to reduce noise, and I think that it takes each of the many individual shots using a low sensitivity and a high exposure time.
