It’s Been Way Too Long
I’m not exactly sure what has been “too long for”, but another Apple event is now past and gone without leaving too much excitement behind. As we are now used to, thanks to early leaks Apple events are never a big surprise anymore. Usually we forgive Apple because the quality of the product is great,…

Begin Again
I guess that lately is all about music. Tonight I watched a movie that has been on my list for a long while: Begin Again. The movie is about (as you might guess) new beginnings and how to deal with a past that will always be with us. In this specific instance, music is…

I won’t add anything more because…

The iPhone 6 Camera
It’s funny to think that one of the most impressive feature on the new iPhone 6/6+ is also the most “hidden”. I’m talking about the new camera sensor, which is a significant step up compared to the previous generation. Why would I say that it’s a hidden feature? Well, try and find the camera in…

With Paper, Facebook Gets A Facelift
When I first heard that Paper was a creation by Mike Matas I already knew it was going to be good. The thing is that it’s really great, not just good. First things first. What is Paper? It’s a new stand-alone app (US-only for now) from Facebook which essentially replace the traditional Facebook iOS app…

My Holiday, All In My Pocket
Usually every time I go on holiday I have my DSLR with me, ready to capture precious memories and why not, cool pictures ready to be shared with the world. For my recent holiday I decided to change this trend.
