If you’re a fan of the professional travel photography site Fotopedia, we have some bad news for you. The site will be shutting down on August 10. Fotopedia said this is because they “don’t think there is a suitable business in it yet.” Photographers who want to get their work can find out how to download them from here. After August 10 though, everything on their servers will be permanently deleted.

LG unveils Android-powered, notebook-sized Tab Book 11 in South Korea

Want an Android-powered tablet that can easily pass off as a notebook? LG recently unveiled the Tab Book 11 in South Korea. It is an 11.6-inch Android Jelly Bean tablet that runs on an Intel Core i5 Haswell processor, Intel HD 4400 graphics, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB solid state drive. It has a Full HD 1920x1080p IPS display and includes two USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, and a microSD card reader. It’s quite a hefty device though at 2.3 pounds due to the non-detachable keyboard hidden underneath the tablet. We’re not sure if this thing will make its way out of Korea but if it does, would you get one?

Google releases source code of its I/O 2014 app

Google is hoping to help developers create the best Android apps they can. The tech company just released the source code of its I/O 2014 app. They want it to serve as a template of sorts for any app development. According to Google, some of the features, design approaches, and APIs used in the app include “fragments, loaders, alarms, notifications, SQLite databases, Action Bar, Navigation Drawer, Google Cloud Messaging, Google Drive API, material design, etc.

They also rebuilt the app to work with JSON files instead of a specific API to allow it to be repurposed for other conferences. They also plan to release the technical articles related to the source code as well as update the app in the coming months.
