| 5 Nuggets of Smartphone Photography Wisdom To Live By Posted: 01 Aug 2013 07:30 PM PDT  When it comes to smartphone photography, we try to cover a bit of everything here at MakeUseOf. From seriously high-end accessories, zoom and lens tips to techniques for reducing those blurry photos; we’ve even covered the basics of shooting in 3D. Sometimes though, among the sea of apps and accessories, social networks and hashtags, the essence photography can get lost. Sometimes even photographers lose their way, and it might not have anything to do with technique or equipment. Here are some nuggets of wisdom I’ve practiced long enough that I feel it’s time to start the preaching. You’d better read this before...

| The Vita Still Lives – 5 Incredible Games Shown At E3 Posted: 01 Aug 2013 06:30 PM PDT  E3 may have come and gone over a month ago, but there is one thing that happened at the giant press event that I don’t feel got the attention it deserved: the range of Vita games shown off. Sony kind of had them tucked away in the back corner of their booth. Obviously, the main focus for Sony was getting its PlayStation 4 in front of as many people as possible, but I can’t help but feel like it dropped the ball with the lack of attention it gave its Vita. Still, for gamers who knew where to look, there... Read the full article: The Vita Still Lives – 5 Incredible Games Shown At E3 |

As of right now, the multiplayer online battle arena is a class of games that is almost exclusive to the PC platform. It’s been working it’s way to consoles and even mobile, but your desktop or laptop is where it calls home for now. While there is a handful of games in this genre, few stand above all others. By this, I mean they are some of the most played... Read the full article: New To MOBAs? Here’s How To Find Out Which One Is For You |

| Try A Visual Shopping Wishlist With Wantworthy Posted: 01 Aug 2013 03:30 PM PDT  Today’s web apps and extensions seem to have finally cottoned on to the idea that pictures are extremely useful when it comes to creativity and desirability. I guess we have the likes of Pinterest and Tumblr to thank for that. A collection of images manages to express so much in a quick viewing. It gives a great overview to the sorts of things that appeal to the collector, and makes you wonder if you like the item yourself. However, in order to have people make a beautiful collection of images, we need to ensure it’s easy for them to do... Read the full article: Try A Visual Shopping Wishlist With Wantworthy |
| 5 Awesome Apps That Will Make You Buy a Nokia Windows Phone 8 Posted: 01 Aug 2013 02:30 PM PDT  Back when Windows Phone 7 was released in 2010, I was an early adopter, picking up a HTC HD7 in October of that year. While the initial release wasn't perfect it was certainly impressive, helped by the presence of some manufacturer-provided apps. Over time, the quality of these apps was degraded slightly as new and better third party replacements became available. HTC did a good job with their Windows Phone apps, but they were better off sticking to handsets. Years later, I'm the owner of a Nokia Lumia 920, powered by Windows Phone 8, and thrilled each time Nokia releases...

| Google Launches Views, A Community Site For Your Panoramic Photo Spheres [Updates] Posted: 01 Aug 2013 08:30 AM PDT  In a nice development for photo sharing enthusiasts, Google has launched Views, a photo-sharing hub that, unlike any other, is all about sharing 360 degree panoramas or photo spheres as Google calls them. Before you start to wonder at the complexity of composing 360 degree shots, it is probably already possible on your Android phone (in case you forgot).
