Color founder Bill Nguyen describes the startup’s early life as being “in the wilderness,” a state, he adds, that can also be used to describe past projects he’s helmed (a point we can’t exactly argue). Of course, Lala finally found its way — eventually being scooped up by Apple . And now Color , an app that’s already lived through its share of lives, has a big name on its side.

We have camera bags up the wazoo but the ones we grab when we’re in a hurry tend to have two things in common: they’re relatively small and they’re inconspicuous. Think Tank Photo, one of our favorite bag companies, just announced it will be releasing a new bag in May called the Retrospective 7 and it seems to fit those discrete characteristics.

With Google set to close the Picnik shop on April 19th, it was obvious that Flickr had to go out and seek a fresh replacement. Today, the Yahoo-owned service is announcing Aviary (a Jeff Bezos -backed startup) as the new photo editing tool on its site. Along with promising to be simpler and speedier than its soon-to-be deceased predecessor, Aviary brings expected features like cropping, rotating, sharpening, red-eye reduction and cosmetic whitening, just to mention a few

While those lucky beta testers managed to get a healthy lump of extra Dropbox storage for their efforts , the mobile app’s new auto-upload feature has officially arrived. The update is now available on Android devices and we’re promised that the Apple-flavored update will appear very soon.

With E3 2012 right around the corner, Reggie and co. want to make sure your oft-distracted eyes catch every drip drop of the impending Wii U news flood.
Sufficiently enamored with Samsung’s Galaxy S III that you’ve got to have one in the US before anyone else, and you don’t want it sullied by carrier customizations in the trip across the Pacific?
We can’t be certain as to how many units of the HTC EVO 4G LTE have made it out of customs thus far, but it appears the number is high enough for Sprint to officially set a date for shipping the device out to those who pre-ordered it online. A Sprint representative reached out to us to share the company’s statement from this afternoon that customers should expect to receive their valuable treasure “on or around” May 24th. We’re not in love with the “around” terminology, but this could simply be due to a high amount of demand.

(Credit: Pentax) I have to admit: the $900 Pentax K-30 dSLR sounds like a pretty promising replacement for the K-r. Rugged on the outside with the potential for the same excellent photo quality as the K-01 mirrorless ILC, claimed faster autofocus performance than the already fast K-5, and a 100 percent coverage viewfinder that you usually only see in more expensive models all add up to a possibly great start to the Pentax-Ricoh era. Though it’s not “durable” in the same sense as bodies like the Nikon D4 or Canon EOS-1D X , with parts designed to withstand heavy photographic abuse, the K-30 offers weather-and-dust resistance, with claims of usability down to 14 degrees (most cameras only guarantee down to 32 degrees); that said, Pentax makes no claims about battery life at those temperatures.
House After eight seasons, the run of Gregory House MD comes to an end on Fox tonight with a double episode. While we’ll miss Hugh Laurie fumbling around on our American TV screens every week, it definitely felt like time for the series to come to an end. We’ll see how Wilson’s cancer diagnosis wraps up and if any other old characters stop by after Thirteen popped up last week, although we will avoid throwing back a Vicodin just for old time’s sake.

Never one to focus exclusively on the very latest hardware , a new mod has brought an 6502 microprocessor to a Minecraft world near you. The system is made from three separate cubes, representing the CPU, monitor and disk drive, respectively, all connected by ribbon cables.
