TiPb Asks: How many photos do you have in your iPhone Camera Roll?

Last night on iPhone Live we were talking about how many photos we had in our iPhone Camera Roll and I admitted to being a bit of snapshot addict. I have over 1800 pics in my Camera Roll, everything from friends and family to clouds and sunsets to clothes...

Awesome: Real-Life Electric Tron Lightcycle

Custom chopper builders Parker Brothers have managed to pull the Tron lightcycle out of its CGI home and into the real world. The amazing build is 100% electric, and can hit 100mph. It even has the glowing blue lights of the original, but sadly can’t turn 90-degrees instantaneously like the “real” thing.

Samsung releases AT&T Galaxy S II kernel source far in advance of the phone's release

Whoever's cranking out the kernel source in Samsung's headquarters has some serious aspirations. Cooking it up for the Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch the day it was released was a rather snappy process, but the manufacturer's managed to one-up even itself by pushing out AT&T's version a full week and a half early. Talk about an exciting deal for developers, who now have a sizable head start ahead of the Galaxy S II's October 2nd launch. Not too shabby, right? Let's see exactly what those with the know-how can build in the meantime -- we predict customization options aplenty by the time the phone's officially stocked on store shelves. How early can we expect to see the kernel for T-Mobile's Galaxy S II? Hard to say, but for now you can grab the kernel source at... well, the source below.

Android 101: How to pair a Bluetooth headset

Pairing a Bluetooth device with your phone is a relatively simple affair.  These instructions were written using the Samsung Infuse 4G and Jawbone Icon, but the steps should be just about the same for any Android phone or tablet, and the instructions that came with your headset will fill in the rest of the details.

First you're going to want to go to Settings, then Wireless and networks, then Bluetooth settings.  Turn bluetooth on.  You'll see your phone search for devices.  For the phone to see the headset it has to be in pairing mode, though.  That can vary from headset to headset, but is usually done by holding the answer/end call button down while turning the headset on (see the documentation that came with your headset to get it in pairing mode).

On the Jawbone the status LED flashes red/white alternately when it's in pairing mode, but your headset may blink blue, or may not blink at all -- again have a look at the instructions that came with your headset.  Once we're in pairing mode, your phone should find your headset.  You'll see an entry under "bluetooth devices," go ahead and click on the device.  You'll have to confirm that you want to connect.  At that point, some headsets will ask for a "pairing code."  This number is usually 1234, or 0000, but your headset's instructions will tell you for sure.  If your headset doesn't ask for a pairing code, there's no need to worry, it just means that it doesn't require one.  Finally, your headset should be connected and available.

A few cavaets here -- not all Bluetooth headsets and Android builds are created equal.  For things like audio for music or games, you'll need to have a headset that supports it.  Look for a headset that supports A2DP (Andvanced Audio Distribution Profile) if stereo Bluetooth is a feature you're looking for.  All the current crop of Android phones should support this protocol just fine.  For true handsfree dialing, things are a bit hit or miss with Android.  Some headsets and car units can access the address book for true voice dialing, while some can't.  This is a feature that came with Android 2.2, and is still a bit janky.  Hopefully someone in Mountain View is tackling this problem and we'll see better results with the immenent Ice Cream Sandwich update.  In the meantime, your best bet is to ask around in the forums to see what other folks recommend.

Is Tux Still the Right Mascot for Linux?

Now that Linux has reached the ripe old age of 20, it seems fair to say the software is officially "mature." Were it a human, after all, it would likely be allowed to drive by now, and maybe even to drink, too. Just as we humans tend to engage in a little self-analysis and image-updating when we reach major milestones like these, so, too, it may be time for Linux to do the same.

RIM?s Stock Price Tumbles To A New Five Year Low

RIM's stock took a bit of a tumble after the release of their underwhelming Q2 earnings report last week, and it looks as though it won't stop dropping anytime soon. Before the market closed for the day, RIM share prices continued to inch downward until it reached (at time of writing) $21.52: RIM's lowest in five years.

Wrapping Personal Devices and Critical Data in Stale Policies

It's a myth that ostriches bury their heads when they spot danger. It sounds plausible, but in reality, they're just like us: In the face of imminent danger, they either run or attack. This makes sense when you stop to think about it. After all, one thing that seems almost painfully obvious is that ignoring signs of danger isn't an effective defense strategy.

Microsoft boots Windows Phone manager following mini-review of Nokia's Mango handset

The man who previously led the development of IE Mobile for Windows Phone is no longer with Microsoft, whose termination followed a series of tweets regarding one of Nokia's unreleased Mango handsets. A representative of Ballmer & Co. has confirmed to us "that Joe Marini no longer works at Microsoft," and while the company refuses to discuss the details of his termination, you be the judge. In his first tweet, Mr. Marini expressed glowing enthusiasm for the device, having called it one of Nokia's slickest ever. Then, however, he went on to give the phone an "8" (to summarize his 144 character review), criticize the camera as being good, but not great, and bemoan its screen size. Oops. If anything, unbridled enthusiasm is encouraged at Microsoft (just think back to Steve Ballmer's monkey dance if you had any doubt), but when sheer excitement erupts into stunning frankness regarding unreleased products from partner companies, perhaps this ex-Microsoftee should have kept his thoughts offline. We wish you luck, Joe, but next time, just remember that review scores are a relic of the past. Instead, just let the words speak for themselves.

Indie Strategy Bundle of Games Is Your Therapeutic Gaming Deal of the Day [Dealzmodo]

I just came back from California. Sunny Cali-for-ni-ay where the absence of weather means it's always great weather. I ate In N Out a bazillion times. I drove in traffic. I listened to Dr. Dre. I watched Clayton Kershaw pitch. I didn't surf, but I could have! I didn't smoke out, but I should have! I didn't sing the theme song of the OC but I'm humming it now. In New York. In my dark and cluttered desk. In the dreary weather. In depression. I'm depressed. And as a practicing scientologist that can't take medicine, I stay depressed. So I wrap my brain around strategy games to remove myself from this world. I'm happy. It's the next best thing to California. Try my therapy with the Indie Strategy Bundle: Anomaly: Warzone Earth, Defense Grid: The Awakening, Revenge of the Titans, Sanctum, and Sol Survivor for 10 bucks. -CC More »

Auslogics Disk Defrag 3.2 gets smarter, faster

Auslogics Disk Defrag has been part of my system maintenance toolkit for quite some time. With the release of version 3.2, it's now even better at tidying up and optimizing your system's hard disk drives. In addition to a cleaner, easier-to-use interface, Disk Defrag 3.2 offers improved single file and folder defragging, better processing of multiple disks, a simplified scheduling screen, and more informative tool tips. Auslogics has also fine-tuned the program's defragmentation and file consolidation algorithms.

For laptop users, there's a new option to lock the program if your system is running on battery power -- so scheduled operations don't kick in and drain your power source at an inopportune moment. If you happen to have an SSD installed in your PC, you can head to the Disk Defrag options and exclude it from scanning (many think that defragmenting an SSD is a very bad idea).

Auslogics Disk Defrag is a free download and works with most versions of Windows.

A sneak peek at the next version of Android Market and Music app

Update: Tech From 10 seems to be offline -- but we have lots of images and a hands-on review if you want to see what the new Music app is like.

In what is probably a bit of a big-G whoopsie, the folks at Tech From 10 woke up to find a new, test version of Android Market installed on their Galaxy S.

Visually, the new version is almost identical. The carousel of featured apps has been updated slightly, and apps now have a 'Content rating,' but that's it (image after the break). The interesting bit, however, is the inclusion of alpha and beta apps -- most notably, there's a new version of the Music app, which looks like a scaled-down version of the Android 3.0 Honeycomb Music app (see right).

Also available from the test Android Market is 'Google Gallery 3D New 10.2', 'Google - Camera v12' and 'Google Desk Clock 10' -- but, curiously, all of the apps refused to launch on Tech From 10's Galaxy S (Vibrant) smartphone. Are they Honeycomb apps? Or, more likely, are they destined for the next Android smartphone OS, Ice Cream?

If you want to try out the new Honeycombish Music app, Tech From 10 has made the APK available for download. You can also download the three Google apps, if you want to have a poke around.
