Demo shows YouTube Gaming app in action

Curious about what YouTube has up its sleeve for its Gaming app? Kotaku shows off a demo video of the app that’s still in its testing phase. It isn’t available for public release yet so if you see any kinks to it, it’s to be expected. You should probably play the guided tour clip in full-screen to actually see what’s happening. You can play around with the app through a leaked APK. It’s only available for Android users at the moment, though.

Darkroom for iOS adds sharing ability for filters and better color altering tool

 

Photo editing app Darkroom adds more tools under its belt with its latest update. Version 2 of the app adds the ability for users to share custom filters on Instagram. The app shares this in a unique way though. When you post a photo on Instagram with a filter from Darkroom, others can take a screenshot of the photo. There will be an on-image QR code showing up there and that filter will then be made available to them.

The app’s color tool now also lets you choose specific color profiles in your photo as well as adjust hue, saturation, and luminance for each. Darkroom also now lets you favorite and delete photos while you edit, the save function will let you overwrite your existing photo with edited one. You can also now transfer edits from one photo to another. If you want access to the color tool and filter sharing though, you’ll need to make an in-app purchase to “Pro Mode.” That’ll set you back US$3.99.

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

With the sheer amount of content and entertainment that most mobile devices can carry, Pico projectors are the ideal companions for enjoying this content on a larger scale and on-the-go.

Cellulon's PicoAir projector is incredibly tiny. At 7 ounces and with a very thin profile, it can be easily slipped into a shirt pocket or tossed into your gadget bag. We showed it to various people while asking them to guess what the device was and nobody guessed that this was a full-featured pico projector. It is very easy to confuse this with a sleek smartphone charger or external battery.

Review: Motorola Moto G (3rd Gen)

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

New, improved and still the reigning pound-for-pound champion of the value smartphone segment, the new Moto G delights and impresses users with even more flagship-level features in an affordable and desirable package.

We've come a long way from the first Moto G, which was initially met with some degree of confusion. At that time, the more powerful Moto X (first gen) barely skirted mid-range features, but was being promoted as the next Motorola flagship. The Moto G, however, was clearly targetting the entry level while boldly proclaiming it could match the performance of the Samsung Galaxy S4.
