VAIO’s Windows 10-powered Phone Biz is now available for purchase

Remember the Phone Biz, which was announced by erstwhile Sony brand VAIO back in February this year? Well, the device is now available for purchase, although currently only in Sony’s home country of Japan.

The 5.5-inch, Win10-powered handset went on pre-order last month, and shipments have now begun. If you missed the pre-order opportunity, you’ll be glad to know that phone is also available for purchase from the VAIO store.

What’s worth mentioning is that the Phone Biz is listed on VAIO’s website for JPY 59,184 (around $535), which is different (and considerably up) from the JPY…

de Grisogono already working on a limited edition Samsung Gear S3

It’s probably no surprise that Samsung is working on the third generation Gear S watch, but we get the first official confirmation by way of a de Grisogono official.

The Swiss jeweler created a diamond-studded version of the S2 watch and now reveals that it’s working on doing the same with the Samsung Gear S3 at a Conde Nast Luxury conference that took place in Seoul last week.

No details on the S3 watch itself were given and to be fair, digital specs are not exactly de Grisogono’s specialty.

Cómo crear un planeta diminuto de tus Photospheres con Cámara de Google

Cómo crear planeta diminuto

Las fotografías tipo “planeta diminuto” son una forma distinta de crear una fotografía especial que muestre el espacio en el que nos encontramos y con las que podemos llegar a tener resultados excelentes si sabemos buscar el lugar idóneo para realizar este tipo de fotos.

En la app de Cámara de Google tenemos la función Photosphere que crea panorámicas “esféricas” cuando combina una serie de fotografías que hemos ido tomando pacientemente según nos indica la propia aplicación. Es en esa misma app donde tenemos una función bastante especial y a la que voy a enseñaros para realizar fotografías bien especiales con las que retratar esos momentos con buen tiempo que transcurrirán en los próximos meses.

Cómo crear un “planeta diminuto” de tus Photospheres

Antes de comentar cada uno de los pasos, la función de photosphere la tenemos en la app de Cámara de Google. Realmente es bien sencilla de usar y para sacar una de gran calidad debemos de ir tomando las fotografías desde el mismo sitio mientras vamos rotando sobre nosotros mismos con los brazos a la misma distancia, pero a distintas alturas.

  • Lo primero que debemos de hacer es lanzar Cámara de Google
  • Nos dirigimos a photosphere y creamos una recorriendo todos los puntos a distintas alturas hasta llegar a nuestra vertical tanto en la superior como en la inferior
  • Realizada la photosphere, pasamos a la propia galería del teléfono y veremos que hay un icono de un lápiz, lo pulsamos.

  • Aparece una ventana emergente y seleccionamos “Crear planeta diminuto”

Cómo crear planeta diminuto

  • Realizará el proceso y tendréis vuestro planeta creado con dos parámetros: zoom y giro

Planeta diminuto

  • Si el planeta sobresale fuera del espacio de la pantalla, movéis el zoom para conseguir que veáis cada uno de los edificios como en este caso presentado
  • Pulsáis sobre “crear planeta diminuto” y ya lo tendréis hecho

Otro consejo es que busquéis espacios como plazas donde no haya ni cuestas o una pequeña colina que consiga que finalmente el planeta no aparezca como sale en las imágenes que tomo como ejemplo.

Podéis descargar la app, que justamente se actualizó la semana pasada, desde el widget o desde apkmirror para acceder a la última versión.

The app was not found in the store. 😦 #wpappbox

Can London’s Backed V.C. Be The Y Combinator Of Europe?

The start-up world can be a cold, lonely place–ultra competitive, highly paranoid, and, in many cases, macho to a fault. The pressure is intense, the hours too. Add to it the cruel math that roughly nine out of ten start-ups fail and, well, it understandable that a founder can use a support group–or two.

Microsoft’s Open Source Strategy Is Incomplete Without This Acquisition

Not long ago, the industry was primarily divided into two camps – Microsoft, and anything but Microsoft (ABM). But today the scenario is very different. The company that once waged war on Linux is going all out to make it an integral part of its long-term strategy. Microsoft is wholeheartedly embracing open source, blurring the lines between the two camps.

17-Year-Old Sneakerhead Launches Resale Marketplace

A 17-year-old is about to take over the sneaker resale market. Anthony Debrant started collecting sneakers at age 12, saving up birthday and holiday money to buy his first pair of Nike Air Jordans. Today, he owns 60 to 70 pairs of sneakers, but he wanted to do more than just collect them—so he came up with an idea for a platform called SneakMart. According to Debrant, SneakMart was created to “simplify the lives of sneakerheads.” It is an online platform for sneakerheads created by a sneakerhead. Debrant wanted to make something user friendly and with low fees—as a sneakerhead, he does not want to take money from fellow sneakerheads. The platform functions as a sneaker broker, allowing users to act as both buyers and sellers. SneakMart puts the whole sneakerhead community in a single space, creating both a marketplace and social media platform for the sneaker obsessed. As the market for sneakers continues to expand and quantities remain limited, the resale market is only going to grow, and early innovators like SneakMart will shape expectations in the space. We spoke with Anthony Debrant and Carlos Mare to better understand how SneakMart will effect sneaker culture.
