Those who already use PhotoBooth on a Mac or iPad will love iBooth, a free app that allows you to apply stunning effects to your photos instantly, anywhere, and in real-time.

iBooth doesn't need a Help file, as it works like the native photo app of the iPhone, but it comes with serious improvements. We especially liked the real-time effects, such as Kaleidoscope, Twirl, Squeeze, or Sepia, which you can apply before you take the photo.

If it's a story you want to tell, then iBooth is a great tool to have. PhotoBooth users may already know a … Read more

A tech conference without booth babes is like Wimbledon without strawberries and snobbery. Or Chicago without bad baseball and corrupt politics.

Please imagine, then, how stunned at least some attendees at the ChinaJoy 2012 gaming expo in Shanghai this past week must have been to discover that they were assuredly in China, but had been deprived of their greatest joy.

Yes, the booths were not adorned by naked female flesh.

As the Register undresses it, organizers decided that they just couldn't go home at night knowing that they had corrupted even one more young mind with displays of female … Read more

The dating Web site eHarmony got hit by the same group that released a list of LinkedIn member passwords yesterday, so be sure to change your passwords for both if you have accounts.

Buzzfeed also parsed through the list of leaked passwords to reveal some pretty depressing sentiments from employees. While many accounts used overly simplistic passwords like "LinkedIn" or "password1," some of the more disturbing pass phrases include things like "suicide," "solonely," "iwishiwasdead," and "divorce." They're still not very strong in terms of security, so be sure to add a special character or a number during the bleak changeover.… Read more

An exhibition of electronic products surely wouldn't be the same without an exhibition of local models, students, and other women who would like to earn a little money in exchange for smiling a lot.

If you can't get a comely woman to hold your new tablet and thrust it at potential customers, then how on earth are you going to sell it?

It seems, though, that -- despite this week's kerfuffle featuring a sad sexist tweet from Asus -- booth babes will not be disappearing anywhere soon.

Indeed, reports from this week's Computex exhibition in Taiwan … Read more

The time has come for every Internet denizen to take a stand against the worst atrocity (and probably the biggest problem) on the Web: vertical videos. Big thanks to the puppets in this PSA spreading the word about Vertical Video Syndrome.

You can blame Flip video cameras, the ubiquity of videos shot with an iPhone, or just the tech-ignorance masses, but it has to stop. With the help of Ariel, Richard, and Joseph on today's episode, we all hope to put an end to the vertical video travesty.… Read more

Photofunia is a ridiculously simple photo effects app that lets you drop your photos into funny and interesting scenes, similar to those you might find at an amusement park photo booth. If, say, you want to see what your face might look like on a billboard in Times Square, Photofunia has an effect for that. How about on the cover of Esquire Magazine? Photofunia's got that covered too. With an incredible number of effects available, the possibilities seem endless.

To get started with Photofunia, just fire up the app and start looking for an effect you like. You can … Read more

Photo Grid offers a dead-simple way to create collages with up to nine photos from your mobile device. It may not be the most powerful app in the world, but it certainly offers most of the customization options you need to make a variety of beautiful collages.

Right when you open the app, Photo Grid asks you what kind of collage you want to make. Choices include Free form, Single photo, Grid (predesigned templates), High (photobooth-style vertical strip), and Wide (horizontal strip of portraits). Regardless of the type you choose, Photo Grid makes it easy to swap photos within, zoom, … Read more

New York City is looking to replace its public pay phones with Internet-connected touch-screen tablets.

The city will start a pilot program next month where it will install 32-inch "smart screens" with broadband Internet connections in 250 old phone booths throughout the city.

The hope is that eventually the city will replace its 12,800 outdoor pay phones with these new tablet-booths, according to a story by the New York Post. The franchise for the public pay phones in the city is expiring in October 2014.

The new touch-screen tablets will be free to access and will generate … Read more

BARCELONA, Spain--Typically, attending the last day of a conference puts you face to face with the frantic stragglers trying to grab one last meeting, or the dazed wanderers biding time before a welcome flight home. Not so at Google's MWC booth, which remained a fairground for Android lovers.

It's pointless trying to narrow down a favorite attraction: was it the tablet-controlled claw game that won you an Android plushie, or the contest you could enter to win a bedazzled battery cover for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, made by a robot with an Android face? Perhaps it was the … Read more
