What's Up with the iPad Camera Connection Kit?

Make downloading photos and videos from your digital camera to your iPad easier with the iPad Camera Connection Kit. The kit is composed of two connectors, each with its own separate interface.

Just plug the Camera Connector into the dock connector port on your iPad, then attach your digital camera or iPhone using a USB cable (the kit features a USB interface). However, the iPhone 3G is not supported. You can also use the SD Card Reader to transfer photos and videos from your digital camera's SD card to your iPad, then you can put your digital camera's SD card into the proper slot.

After you make the connection, your iPad auto launches a Photos app, which allows users to select which photos and videos to import into their library. You can then organize the photos into individual albums. The iPad and the Camera Connection Kit supports JPEG and RAW formats plus SD and HD video formats (H.264 and MPEG-4).

14 Year-old Genius Creates Far Better Game App Than Angry Birds



A 14-year-old from Utah is now giving the Angry Birds Game App a run for its money. Robert Nay is what you can call a born-coder who has spent the better part of the school year creating Bubble Ball, a physics simulator and a free downloadable game app in the Apple App Store.



Being a minor, his supportive mom Kari Nay does all the legal stuff for him like signing contracts and submitting Apps to the App store and other Android marketplaces.

Penny Auctions: Heads or Tails?

Penny Auctions are not for everyone but they are quite very popular lately. I don't see penny auctions having any staying power over most consumers, there maybe a handful of people who are into that penny bidding subculture. They are called PRObidders and it works for them. They breathe and live through winning in penny auctions. And they amassed stuff they don't need, kinda like hoarders, they just like winning and bidding for hours on end.



Though some penny auction sites may be rock solid, true to what they are offering (though some do not have much credibility and offer dismal prizes). There are the legit and awesome ones like quibids.com in the US and ziinga.com in the UK. So choose your penny bidding playground wisely :)

For me, Penny auction sites that offer cheap coupons as prizes are an honest let down. I mean if you're gonna spend money on bid packs that are worth $50 to $100 bucks you might as well score some big shit. Not some useless discount coupon for a latte. Otherwise, its not worth your time. Not worth the game play. By gameplay, what I mean is, there's something called the 'thrill' behind winning prizes (kinda like the mystery behind a magician's prestige) you're addicted to knowing what bag of tricks are out there. Its not just about winning and cashing out your lot. But if you have nothing better to do, but troll 4chan or tweet all day. Why not try your hand at penny auctions? You have nothing to lose, but the shirt off your back. Just kidding!
