( Back to Top ) How to Straighten Kinky Earbud Cords
Thu, Oct 6 @ 5:22 AM
I accidentally ran my iPhone earbuds through the washer and dryer, and now the cord is bent in so many places that it doesn't hang loosely like it used to. Is there anything I can do, or am I stuck spending $30 on a new pair of earbuds?At least it wasn't your iPhone! But seriously, except for a brown Zune, there no more unsightly way to enjoy music than with than a gnarled set of earbuds. Fortunately, some heat and gentle stretching can help relax and reshape the cord.Wrap the nastiest kink snugly around a bottle or coffee cup so you're flexing the cord in the opposite direction it wants to go. Align the kink with a label or other reference point to help you remember where the worst spot is. Then go over that spot with a hair dryer set to maximum to mold the cord to the new shape. Take your time and keep the dryer moving––you don't want to melt the cord or your fingers. After a few minutes, set the cup and dryer aside, then gently bend the cord against the "grain" of the kink. Reapply heat as necessary, then repeat the process on other bends in the cord.Finish your earbuds' spa treatment by hanging them up and weighting one end with chunky a pair of sunglasses, an old iPod, anything with just enough heft to force the cord to hang straight. Run the hair dryer over the length of the cord, tweaking trouble spots into shape as you go, and then let your earbuds cool. You may not undo each kink the first time, so multiple sessions could be necessary. To help your earbuds keep their new shape, check out our guide to Apple cable management.GOT A TECH QUESTION OR A HELPFUL TIP TO SHARE?Email ask@maclife.com or write to Mac|Life, 4000 Shoreline Ct, Suite 400, South San Francisco, CA 94080
im360 Review
Thu, Oct 6 @ 6:12 AM
If you can't quite imagine what it'd look like to leap from the tallest building in Malaysia or fly over the mouth of a volcano like Mount St. Helens, consider parting with $1.99 to give yourself perspective with the 360-degree, 3D video on im360, a universal app for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.The app features a couple hundred videos in its Online Library, which you can browse within the app, download, and view in either standard mode or even more dynamic 3D Anaglyph mode by sporting your 3D goggles (not included). Once you select a video and begin to play it, you can then navigate 360-degree, panoramic viewing features by way of your finger or device motion.I downloaded and viewed about 10 different videos (most about 70 seconds long). Not surprisingly, the best and most entertaining videos are those that let you experience adventures you're unlikely to do yourself (the Red Bull Malaysia base jump, for example) while clips from the De Young museum's exterior in San Francisco, though informative, seem relatively uninspiring. Frustratingly, some of the video is also lacking quality resolution.Still, I was totally enamored of a video that featured whales rising from and crashing to the ocean's surface by way of a boat's-eye-view camera. You can even pause the video and direct the 360-degree film so as not to miss, for example, a single whale on any side of the boat -- or a single cliff or snowfield as you fly over Mount St. Helens.In the event that you're among the adrenaline junkies who films himself skiing off cliffs or jumping from tall buildings, you can also choose and view your own 360 films using im360. The bottom line. im360 is a fun way to glimpse adventures beyond the scope of your everyday life. If you'd like to take the next step and see what it actually feels like to jump from the tallest building in Malaysia, you're on your own.Review Synopsis Product: im360 Company: Immersive Media Company Contact: www.immersivemedia.com Price: <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=ApuPaiKIpxg&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fim360%252Fid437314677%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30" target="itunes_store">$1.99</a> Requirements: iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad running iOS 4.2 or later Positives: The app does exactly what it says it does, and many of the videos accessed via the in-app library are highly entertaining. Negatives: Video resolution isn't always up to snuff. It'd also be great to have a more extensive video library to choose from. Score: 4 Great
App Showdown: Calorie Counters
Thu, Oct 6 @ 12:16 PM
The universe is expanding, and you're getting a little big around the middle yourself. Luckily, there's help to be found in the form of an app or two. No, we're not talking about the Nike + iPod or crunch rep counters. We're talking about good old fashioned watching what you eat.Calorie Counter: diets & activities (Free/Universal)Viaden Mobile is ready to help you keep an eye on how many cookies you're sneaking by having you add in everything you eat, one meal at a time, into Calorie Counter. With a huge database of brand name and common foods, it'd be hard to stump this app. When you first fire it up, you create a profile of yourself: age, gender, weight, height, and how active your job is. Just set up your profile and get counting!Then you set about making a plan. What is your target weight and how quickly do you want to drop the pounds to get there? Once you're set up, you can link the app to Dropbox to sync between multiple devices. Then meals eaten at work and logged on your iPhone will be in your record when you fire up the iPad at home.Today's diets give you so many choicesAcross the bottom of the app run five buttons. Food gives you your daily calorie allotment, and it's where you'll enter in each meal. Tap breakfast and you have the option of searching everything in the food base, finding based on brands or categories or even specific restaurant chains. To be quick, you can scan barcodes, but that requires a Pro upgrade ($7.99 for one month and up). You can even add custom foods you make yourself.How big are these coffees again?The Activity tab lets you log from a wide variety of physical activities from the amorous to the mundane (talking on the phone burns 77 calories per hour?). The Diary tab tracks your body mass index and includes an incredibly detailed body tracker of thirteen separate anatomical measurements you'll need to enter. The Summary tab gives you a running tally of how well you're doing, while the More tab lets you adjust your profile and your dietary plan.Billy Idol stays thin, dancing with himself (non-contact)For the most part, Calorie Counter's figures were legit (though 3448 calories seems a lot for a five foot, nine inch journalist trying to shed a few pounds) but the entering process was a bit of a chore. Certain items were mysterious in their weight or composition (how big is one onion roll?). Plus trying to find an item by any means other than typing its name in the search is an exercise in tedium. Tap, tap, tap, tap -- how many calories does all that burn? Entering the exact time we ate something also seemed a little too precision oriented for casual users.This looks like a lot of workBut if you're looking for the full body tracking package, you won't go wrong with this one.Lose It! (Free/iPhone)FitNow has been in the same game for quite a while with their commandingly titled Lose It! Open up the app, and you will likewise be prompted to create a profile with your stats and your target weight. This helps keep you on track and gives you your daily budget of allowable calories.Just want to get back to my college weightOnce you're past the initial sign in, the app opens to the Log screen for the current day. Arrows on either side let you go navigate your timeline to fill in data and a + sign in the upper right takes you to the "Add to Log" screen. Here, you will find that Lose It! has a commanding database of food, including common, brand name, and restaurant items. Again, as above, it is far easier just to type your food item in the search bar than it is to tap and scroll endlessly seeking it. Simply typing the brand name "lays" brings up all the chip choices whereas tapping, scrolling, tapping some more feels like far more work.Get there faster by searchingFrom this screen, you can also add exercises. Where Calorie Counter has pre-set intensities of activity, Lose It! allows you to differentiate between moderate or vigorous or passive. The time you spent is also easier to choose, a scroll wheel versus the digits.This is some vigrous writing, peopleThe My Day tab gives you a break down of your calorie budget, how much you consumed and how much you burned. You can also add food or exercise here. Need a buddy to egg you on? The Friends tab lets you challenge or encourage other Lose It! users. Goals shows you your progress on your weight program. No wonder I'm starving: I haven't eaten anythingThe More tab has additional features tucked away such as motivators that remind you to log your daily and weekly progress reports since the enemies of every fitness regime are forgetfulness and laziness. Best of all, you can set up your iPhone to sync with loseit.com. While logging food on the go is super convenient, it's undeniable that most people type faster on a computer than on a phone. Link your accounts, then while you're still chewing on that bagel at your desk, log it.Meal Snap ($0.99/iPhone)This is the simplest app of the three. Fire up Daily Burn's Meal Snap and you have three basic controls. A vertical calendar of dates on the left, a settings "i" in a flame in the upper right, and a large camera button that looks like a plate with fork and knife. And that's its magic -- its simplicity.No meaning to point and shootMeal Snap lets you take a picture of your food then tells you what it is and gives you a range for the calories. Tap the button, aim it at your plate, and the app does all the work. It's really that simple. When you take a picture, you can help the app out by adding a caption if you like -- but it's really not necessary.Please don't be too fatteningWhat we found was the app was dynamite killer on recognizing pictures of food and telling us what they were. Your picture gets captioned by the app with what it thinks you are eating. We seriously did nothing but shoot a picture of a colleague's plate and it gave us back exactly which two foods were on it. And if the app seems to shoot too high or low for you in the calorie count, you can edit the caption and the app will readjust the count.What a difference a word can makeHowever, the app has some serious flaws with its caloric database. No, a full can of regular Pepsi is not 30-45 calories -- it's 150 and it's written right there on the can. One ice cream cone ranked at 125 - 140 calories while a second, different flavor clocked in at 697 - 1046. That's gotta be some fattening flavoring!We swear, it recognized it all on its ownBut never fear. Meal Snap lets you rate how well it did. From your results page, tap Rate Meal and you can choose how well the description of the food is and how well the caloric range. We're hoping this improves with age and additional users. Don't like the answer? Rate it.Meal Snap also lets you link to your Twitter, Facebook, and Foursquare accounts, and choose whether you want your food snaps saved to your photo library. On the short list of features we'd like to see is the ability to upload pictures to the app instead of having to take them directly. What if we forget? However, we found we could take pictures of pictures of food on our computer monitors and have Meal Snap calculate that. So if you miss and forget, adding something back in is a piece of cake. So to speak.The Bill:By far and away, Lose It! had the best, most accurate database from what we could gather. Calorie Counter was great if you were deeply into body measuring, but there's simply no way we needed 3,500 calories if we were planning on losing weight. Still, we're going to be a little bold here and give our prize to Meal Snap. Was it the most accurate? No. Was it the most customizable? No. We give it our prize because it was far and away the easiest app for keeping track of our calories and with more users the database of photos and caloric measurements can only improve. We love seeing apps that strive for this kind of simplicity and genius. Ultimately, apps exist to make our lives easier, better, more fun. With a greatly improved data set to pull from that provides accurate analysis of how many calories are in a given food, Meal Snap becomes a huge plate of awesome. We vote for Meal Snap, not for what it is today, but for what it is clearly on the road to becoming.Meal Snap says don't eat your animal friends!
