The Inteliscope connects your iPhone to an actual firearm

by Mike Schramm (May 14th, 2013)

We've talked before about how the iPhone can do a lot of things for you, but can it serve as a scope on a tactical rifle? That's the idea behind the Inteliscope, a new accessory that connects your iPhone to an actual tactical firearm. You just clip your iPhone 5 (or 4S or iPod touch) to the ...

Epic Rap Battles of History gets an iOS app

by Mike Schramm (Mar 19th, 2013)

You've probably seen the YouTube series Epic Rap Battles of History before -- they're the wild guys behind the (slightly not safe for work) Steve Jobs and Bill Gates rap battle, where the two creators, Peter Shukoff and Lloyd Ahlquist, face off as the two titans of the computer industry in a ...

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Mar 14th, 2013)

At SXSW I found a kiosk showing off a beta of the app Gravidi. It allows producers to add a layer of interactivity to videos by embedding hotspots in the video, and adding other activity around it. For users, it provides a way to learn more about moments in a video, or people or objects in that ...

Steve's 'One More Things' all in one video

by Mike Schramm (Feb 25th, 2013)

Steve Jobs' "One More Thing" pronouncements made for some of the most memorable and fun moments of the various Apple events he hosted over the years. Near the end of each show, he would usually pull out a "I've got one more thing to share with you" reveal, and it would always be something not ...

by Kelly Hodgkins (Feb 14th, 2013)

Connect with your 8mm memories using YesVideo's app and a TUAW discount

by Michael Rose (Feb 14th, 2013)

Nothing says "analog" like a shoebox full of old videotapes, Super 8 movies and slides. Even if you wanted to watch them (or subject friends / kids to them), digging out the old projector or VCR is a dicey proposition. Converting film to video or digital storage is possible to achieve DIY, but ...

by Steven Sande (Feb 6th, 2013)

We're back from Macworld/iWorld 2013, most of us are rested up from the nonstop interviewing/walking/partying merry-go-round we were on for three or four days, and I've even managed to come back from the trip without a cold or flu (so far). Today Randy Nelson and I will be doing a post-mortem ...

ZipaClip is an interesting approach to privacy for videos that you don't want to share through social media services. The free app encrypts video and sends it to a secure server. If the recipient has the app, they can download it from the cloud. It's good for family sharing or when you need ...

Givit makes video editing, sharing easier

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Jan 31st, 2013)

Every year at Macworld/iWorld I see another great video application for iOS. Last year one of the Best of Show winners was Game Your Video, a nifty app for adding effects to video. While I enjoyed the app, it wasn't very straightforward, and editing wasn't a great experience. Givit, on the ...

Review: Blu-ray player software for Mac

by Mel Martin (Jan 30th, 2013)

It's been a while since Steve Jobs declared Blu-ray a "bag of hurt", and in the years since Apple has been uninterested in the Blu-ray disc format. Maybe they don't want to pay the license fees, maybe they'd rather sell you movies from iTunes, who knows, but Blu-ray hardware from Apple isn't ...
