Panorama apps for smartphones have been around for a while, but this one adds a new spin to things: in addition to being able to create entire 360 degree wraparounds, one can also look up and down in the pictures (like you can on locations on Google Maps, right?).
What's more, it's free. I'm gonna get it. Maybe I'll let you guys know how it is.

Stalker Protection
I guess this isn't exactly hot off the press, as I have had friends that have told me about this app for a while now, but it's still pretty cool.
It's called TrapCall, and essentially your smartphone can find out who is calling you from a blocked number, create a fake voicemail saying that your phone has been disconnected if you decide not to pick up, and even block incoming calls from that person.
Not to toot my own horn, but I've had some stalkers before, and this seems interest.
Unfortunately, it's five dollars a month, so I won't be buying. But maybe you guys will!

Oh, the wondrous relationship of physics and music. Check it out: http://gizmodo.com/#!5788372/massive-xylophone-constructed-in-the-woods-to-sell-japanese-cellphone
My favorite part is how they had the secondary balls roll out from the side onto the other tracks to do the trills on the long notes. That is dedication right there. And for a cell phone?
Also, I think it's funny that the blogger who wrote the article is skeptical of its authenticity. It's pretty obvious from the video/audio lineup that it is authentic. Honestly, I think it would be harder to replicate something like that in post production than just get out there and do it.
I'm not saying that what they are doing wasn't difficult and time-consuming, but it is something that can very definitely be done. I just really enjoy the creativity of all of it.
Go Japan!
