There's this iOS app that generates very similar images, but with some interactivity. https://itunes.apple.com/app/rgb-petri/id423126001?mt=8

Sweet, I attended a talk about this this spring in our university. The one big question was about the enormous energy density in these cubes. It must some way or another get into them, which seemed quite impossible to do. But, I for one hop

There is also XRay Editor ( http://mireus.com/xrayeditor/ ) that comes with an Xcode plugin to relatively easily convert the changes you made into code. It also has an overlay feature to be able to adapt to a mockup. The

It's case sensitive and has related problems in finding words. Entering all lowercase letters recommended. While I'm sure it was a fun exercise to build it and there will most likely even be "helper apps" appearing on the App Store soon, I

For some reason this app seems to miss a lot of its advertised functionality in Germany, or maybe just on my phone. The image search results aren't displayed in a scrolling slideshow at all, instead each result links to the desktop version

On an iOS device with retina display it's awfully blurry, probably just not rendering to a big enough canvas.

While stitching together the original images to a higher resolution panorama ( https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B2Y0xU4gYdrLd1BFNXJiT1JacUE - 50MB, 31K pixels wide, do not open the image in the browser, but download it, you've been warned.

You're right, so I went ahead and recreated the panorama with the source images. Output file is much clearer at 31,792 x 5,683 (~50MB). You can find it here: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B2Y0xU4gYdrLd1BFNXJiT1JacUE (Use File -->

Not to belittle the achievement, but what's up with the HUGE white stripes above and below the panoramic image? Makes browsing the image a bigger hassle than necessary and adds quite some MB in size. 11.5 MB for the full resolution image vs

Thank you! The lower part isn't really a good fit, but the upper part is nice to look at.

The algorithm is actually a lot quicker to act. Once an hour would be quite useless in many cases (especially power loss).

I also have made great use of this great menu of cocoa controls. Thanks for creating it and keeping it up! I do occasionally wonder about the name "controls" for this kind of components. But it seems to be how most people refer to them.

I'm quite amazed that this is even possible to do, as it needs recent satellite imagery both from after they allegedly hiked there and from shortly before, to be able to make comparisons. Is there some place where one can check the recency

I'd say it may even be contributing to accessibility, precisely because of the use of CSS to achieve a desired look instead of falling back to imagery. This allows to disable styles or rather allows screenreaders to still work their way thr

Ugh, the need to delete the corrupt version and then install the good version also gets rid of all user data. What a mess. Of course, this could be fixed by slightly increasing the version number or some other way to let iOS know that the g

Ugh, sounds like the wrong way to do things. Shouldn't they rather work on preventing the bloat and creeping in of toolbars and unwanted stuff? I shouldn't have to reset a profile just like I shouldn't have to reinstall an OS just to make i

This magazine, while made with good intentions, really hurts my eyes. The colors clash, and on many pages its even hard to read the text at all. It's like 1995 web design. Here's hoping for a better issue #2.

I just tested this at home with a few different light sources, and yes, it does lock all three - focus, aperture, white balance. But all in the one spot you tap-held. Afaik, all the apps that have a two-spot way of selecting focus and apert

I'd like to add that it's possible to lock focus and exposure (not sure if also white balance) by tapping and holding on any spot in the "viewfinder". Also, see the full frame in the internal camera.app, just double tap the screen and it wi
