    Fantastic Patchwork Panoramas Using Just the iPhone Camera

    Who says you can't do amazing things with the iPhone's camera? Using only its subpar shooter and some skillful manual stitching, you can actually create some incredible patchwork panoramas. The crappiness of the cam actually gives the shots a lomographic sheen that meshes really with the whole hand-stitched patchwork aesthetic. If you want to make your own panoramas right from your iPhone, you can also use PanoLabs' free app. You can check out a few more awesome compositions below, or see the whole set here. More »

    Photo Tourism 3D-Photo Browser Knocks Spots Off Plain-Old Slideshows

    This video, shown at SIGGRAPH, demos a re-invention of how to navigate collections of photos. It's the work of a team from the University of Washington and Microsoft Research, using advanced processing to magically create 3D-like environments to explore photos of places and things. The amazing results will, inevitably, invoke a "that's like Minority Report" sensation in you. Currently the team sees the system as useful for photo tourism, using "community photos" from a source like Flickr. But with each of us snapping photos all the time on our digital cams, I'd like to think it's the way you may browse your photo collection in the future. [Phototourism via Crunchgear]

    Sprint Phones Now Come With Nude Photos of Employees (Free!)

    Daryl J. Roy isn't your average Sprint sales drone. Service doesn't stop just because you've got the receipt and walked out the door. Have you ever checked out Sprint's picture mail? He wanted to make sure Nicole McElveen did after she purchased some new phones from him. So he sent her a few picture messages, even though she didn't pay for the service, before really showing off the resolution and clarity of their cameras with full-frontal nude pics of himself. Just to make sure she saw how good the pictures were, he re-sent them three different times. More »

    Photograph-to-Digital-Picture Converter Sounds A Lot Like "Scanner"

    Goofy gadget masters Hammacher Schlemmer are back at it again with a Photograph-to-Digital-Picture Converter that takes your old paper snapshots, and well, digitizes them.

    Asus Eee Desktop PC EP20 Images Leaked

    We brought you news about the Eee Desktop PC EP20 a little while back, but it looks like the chaps at Hot Hardware have managed to get hold of some shots of the final, production line models. Unfortunately, they aren't willing to cite their source, but they are willing to say that the images "are indeed shots of an Asus Eee PC Desktop product that should be arriving to market some time in the next quarter or so." From what we have previously seen, the EP20 isn't quite as small as a Mac Mini, but we're still liking the design. The bubbly pattern on the side of the white edition just makes us all fizzy with excitement. We can't wait. [Hot Hardware]

    Digital Photo Wallet Still Has Obnoxious Pictures of the Kiddos

    Flipping out the accordion of pictures of your kids (or cats for the singles) is no more. This $50 wallet comes with a small digital photo frame that can hold up to 55 pictures. Connect it via USB for picture transfer and for recharging. The 1.4-inch screen is just small enough to prove that you can actually procreate, but not too big where people will see how ugly the kids (or cats) are. –Travis Hudson More »

    Hollywood to Beam Digital Films to Movie Theaters

    Nothing sucks more than being shut out of a movie premiere just cause you didn't make it to the box office on time. Well, Universal Pictures and Warner Bros. are teaming up with Digital Cinema Implementation Partners to make that scenario a thing of the past. They want to give theaters the ability to play popular movies on extra screens by changing the way movies are delivered.

    Multifunction Desktop Digital Frame

    This is one of the few digital frames out there that I would consider thinking about possibly buying, if I had the extra money, of course. I'm not a big fan of this whole digital frame movement, but this one is a bit different because it is more useful. The Digiframe can store 22 pictures that run as a slide slow. It can also display the time, calendar and temperature, in addition to having an alarm clock. It would be fun to slip a goatse picture into the slideshow and see how long it takes for your co-workers to notice. $70. – Travis Hudson More »
