For recognition in difficult lighting you can train more images whenever you are not recognized. For increased security you can raise the security level.

Twitter Update Introduces Photo Filters Just as Instagram Updates With New “Willow” F

Posted: 10 Dec 2012 06:42 PM PST

(Sam Elliot voice.) The battle of filters. Instagram and Twitter. Both receiving updates. Who will push beyond photo boundaries? Defy the social networks? Bring the the “Like” and “Retweet” buttons to their knees? The road doesn’t end here, this is only the beginning. RAM…errr…
Anyways, both Twitter and Instagram did receive updates this afternoon. Instagram introduced a new filter called “Willow,” that to me, just looks black and white. Twitter on the other, included filters into their app for the first time, something we have been expecting. There are eight of these lovely little image enhancers, along with auto-fix and crop actions. And yeah, that’s pretty much that. Both updates are available, so hit up the links below so that your world can become vintage.*

Australian Police: Using Apple Maps Could Be Fatal

Posted: 10 Dec 2012 06:42 PM PST

According to*Australian*law enforcement*personnel, a flaw discovered in Apple’s Maps application could prove deadly for motorists if action is not taken. Pictured above is the city of*Mildura, although that is not where the city is actually located. Apple has placed the town some 40 miles in the Outback, an environment that if not prepared for or you happen to become stranded*in, offers very little in terms of road side service.
Unfortunately, a few Maps users have already found themselves in this situation, needing to be rescued by emergency crews and were found with zero water supply.*
Some of the motorists located by police have been stranded for up to 24 hours without food or water and have walked long distances through dangerous terrain to get phone reception.
Police have contacted Apple in relation to the issue and hope the matter is rectified promptly to ensure the safety of motorists travelling to Mildura. Anyone travelling to Mildura or other locations within Victoria should rely on other forms of mapping until this matter is rectified.
We like poking fun at Maps due to its laughable launch, but let us not forget Google’s failed launch of the Nexus Q. Although, I don’t recall the Q being blamed for anyone getting stranded in 114 degree weather with no food or water. Maybe that’s something we’ll get at this year’s I/O?

Cheers Jason, Kurt, Poya, and Nicholas!

Pixel Twist for Android, a Fantastic Puzzle Game From Noodlecake Studios

Posted: 10 Dec 2012 06:42 PM PST

I stumbled upon Pixel Twist just a bit ago in Google Play. So far, I’m really loving it. For a puzzle game, it isn’t all that hard, but what I do like is the concept. You’re given a bunch of random-looking pixels and an image that you need to match them up with. To make it look like the image, you have to twist or spin around the jumbled pixels until it matches. Allow me to use the word “nifty” for this one. You need to twist them as quickly as possible*because*you’re on a timer. The quicker you solve one, equals to how much time you have to solve the next one.*
It’s free in Google Play and comes from the makers of other popular apps like League of Evil and Huebrix.

Posted: 10 Dec 2012 06:42 PM PST

Just because we are giving away a sh*tload of tablets over the next couple of weeks, doesn’t mean we don’t have other goodies to hand out to the DL community. Up next, we have a set of leather Folio cases and some aluminum home button covers*for the Galaxy Note 2*from our friends at Spigen SGP.
The Folio case is made of faux leather, has cutouts in all the right places, a flip cover with pocket for cards or other goodies, and comes in three colors (pink, grey, and blue). These cases normally run $45. The aluminum home buttons are for the Verizon Note 2 owners in the building that can’t stand the branding that Big Red decided to plaster all over it. They normally run $10 and come in packs of three (silver, black, and pink).
Who wants ‘em?*
More: *Spigen Store | Amazon
Contest

Prizes: *6 (six) Spigen Galaxy Note 2 Folio cases and 3 (three) Spigen Note 2 home button covers.

3. *Then tell us what your favorite feature of the Note 2 has been.
Winners:
Tomorrow morning at 10:00AM Pacific, we’ll pick our 6 winners randomly from the comments. Three of the winners will also receive the aluminum home buttons, as long as they have the Verizon version of the Note 2.
*U.S. addresses only.
