How to find Google+ App in App Store
Google Plus has just released the long awaited Google+ App for iOS, something Android users have had for a while. The main attraction being that you can now upload photos off iOS devices with built-in cameras like the iPhone and iPad, which you can't do off the regular mobile HTML site (which, if you haven't checked out yet, is awesome!).
There's only a small problem - as of now, searching for either "Google Plus" or "Google+" or even just "Google" in the App Store app does not find the app. I'm sure this will be fixed, but for now if you want to find it search for "Google huddle" and it will be the only result shown.
Here's a direct link to app in iTunes: Google+.
iPhone HDR photography passes Porsche test!
This has been reported in many a place before, and I will admit that it is in big part to showcase the picture I snapped of the new 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder, a car that not only looks great but is also one of the best dynamic performance cars ever built. As in, built so far - remb, this is a technology blog and we're not big on nostalgia here; we're into things like the Porsche PDK automated dual-clutch transmission.
Photos were taken with an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.2.1 with HDR (High Dynamic Range) turned on. Roll over the image to see just how much more detail the HDR photo was able to pull in. In particular, check out the sky, the background buildings, the parking space stop, the car's brake discs, wheels, side and top. Pretty amazing that you can do this with your phone today!
Note: You need JavaScript enabled for this to work.
Best ChangeLog message EVER!
I was browsing available app updates in the Apple App Store for my iPhone 3G today, and I'm one of those that likes to read the changelog message before I install an update. The reasoning behind this is kinda funny: I mostly engage in this activity when in the bathroom, and I don't have WiFi only 3G available. Because 3G is slower, I tend to only install updates that do something more than generic bugfixes - I'm mostly interested in updates which include new features, improved navigation, etc.
Yelp is an iPhone app that's frequently updated, which is what you want to see from an app developer - timely updates that keep the app current and in sync with their web service. As Yelp happens to be one of the apps I use almost daily when out and about, I checked to see what this latest update includes. I LOL'd when I saw this - good thing I was sitting down! 
"Superamazing bug fixes and, unfortunately, still no jet packs."
ROFLMAO! Unfortunately, this doesn't really relay what was fixed, but it was original enough to get me to update. Happy to see that people to there still have a sense of humor!
