Nexus 5 snapshots taken with the Google Camera app

Cyborg Superman through the Google Camera App

Regular readers of my blog will remember my Nexus 5 pictures post which showed off snapshots taken by my non professional photographer self. With the recent Google Camera update now installed on my Nexus 5, I decided to take some new snapshots to see if picture quality has improved. In my opinion, it has. The camera has a faster response time switching back and forth between HDR modes (you should really just leave it on all the time) and is now able to capture fast moving scenes with little to no blur compared to the prior stock android camera app. With the app being fairly new, there are some features still missing such as time lapse, and a self timer, but I suspect that they will return with time.

As for now, I find that picture quality has improved dramatically, along with the shutter speed. Compare these shots to my last blog post about the camera quality and decided for yourself.

Fast movement in very low light.

Not bad for dim indoor lighting.

Yep, he's dusty, but that's ok. You can see that the camera captured the details nicely.

Retron 5 hacked to launch RetroArch and play ROMS off your SD card

It appears that a someone going by the screenname of RetroN Labo on Youtube has successfully hacked the Retron 5 console to run the full version of Retroarch. In the video shown, various emulators that are not part of the original firmware are playable including the PC Engine, Playstation One, Nintendo DS, and Wonderswan. As the stock firmware from the Retron 5 is programmed to load games from an original cartridge when it is inserted, this hack appears to run ROM and ISO files, most likely from the SD card slot built into the back of the console. In most of instances shown in the video, emulation appeared to run smooth, and the games previewed looked playable. Currently, Hyperkin (Retron 5 manufacturer) is in hot water with Retroarch's creators due to using their emulator cores without permission. After being discovered, Hyperkin has shared their code, and claims that they have removed any infringing code from their console. The Retroarch group feels diffe

Run Android Apps on the Dell Venue Pro 8 with Bluestacks

Android Apps integrate into the Modern Start screen. Those of you that follow my blog are aware that I recently purchased a Dell Venue Pro 8 ( reviewed here ) and am pretty happy with the performance and usability for the price. In that review, I compared it to the Google Nexus 7 , another one of my favorite devices. For those of you who are not that familiar with the various ecosystems, when it comes to touch apps, Microsoft is a distant third place behind Apple and Google. While the Microsoft store has been slowly getting more apps geared towards touch devices, there are still many notable apps missing such as HBO GO, or Showtime Anytime, Temple Run, Instagram, etc. Some times there are third party replacements, and some times there are not. The good news is that you may not have to wait to use your favorite app on Windows 8.x. There is a program by the name of Bluestacks that will allow you to run Android apps in Windows as close to natively as possible. Think of
