Motorola adds manual exposure setting to Camera app

The Motorola Camera app is getting a handy update. It’ll let you adjust the exposure settings 
in the app, which means you can make a photo lighter or darker. The app uses a simple ring 
to adjust exposure level. Of course, the Motorola Camera is also getting the prerequisite bug 
fixes.

LG OLED prototype as thin as wallpaper 

How would you like a TV so thin you can peel it off like wallpaper? LG’s latest TV concept with 
organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology shows us the possibility. The 55-inch OLED 
display is a mere 0.97mm thick and weighs 1.9kg. It can be stuck on a wall using a magnetic 
mat that you can peel off like wallpaper. Of course, it probably got to this size because the 
circuitry needed to make a TV work isn’t integrated yet. Also keeping the weight and thickness 
down is OLED technology because without the need for backlights, it can make TVs even 
lighter. 
 
However, OLED is pretty tricky to produce, thus resulting in exorbitant prices. But it would 
seem LG doesn’t want to give up on the technology just yet.

Microsoft plans to take the lead with Windows 10 mobile updates

Microsoft wants to take Apple’s approach with updating Windows 10 for all devices with them pushing the updates instead of the carriers. The company intends to have a “continuous update process” for all devices running Windows 10, including the phones. They plan on giving carriers early access to upgrade builds before deployment but final delivery of updates will come from them and not the telcos. We’re not quite sure how they’ll pull this off but we just have to wait a bit more to find out.
