These are commonly referred to as the “exposure triangle,” as one must achieve a balance between all three factors to create a well-exposed image. Today we will be talking about shutter speed, how it affects a picture, and how to use it to your advantage.

A possibly profitable theft didn’t go very well for teenager India Carmouche from Slidell, Louisiana. After stealing a smartphone from a distracted customer at Walmart, who had left his gadget on top of a drink cooler while searching through other items, she quickly put the device up for sale on Craigslist. But she never expected the original owner to come across her listing while searching for a replacement handset (and he probably didn’t think he would see that, either).

YouTube quietly launched a new free-to-watch film collection, featuring over 100 titles so far. As you watch these YouTube free movies, you will periodically have to view unskippable ads. The films are mostly older, with a bulk of the titles being direct-to-video caliber fare. Remember the good ol’ days when you used to channel surf and then sometimes magically land on an awesome movie? It was like your lucky day!
Network carriers are often the first stop if you’re looking to get the latest flagship phone since they’re priced at manageable monthly rates compared to the painful lump sum price. Of course, this route usually involves being locked into a 24-month contract. If you’ve passed the two-year mark or are looking to switch networks but want to keep the phone, you’ll have to get it unlocked. Luckily, UK networks like EE have made it quite easy to do this.
The anticipated RPG brawler ChronoBlade is now available on Android. The title was first launched on Facebook in 2012 and has been slowly being ported to Android and iOS since 2015 (you may remember it was also announced for the Ouya in 2013).
Set in a fantasy realm, the title features side-scrolling battles in which you’ll play as one of four unique heroes. Each has their own set of more than 30 abilities to take out enemies, including ground and air attacks which can be chained together for higher damage.
The mid-range smartphone market is currently saturated with great value handsets. This is good news, but it can also cause a little “options paralysis.” With so many great phones to pick from, how do you choose? The choice between the Nokia 7 Plus vs Honor 10 is the perfect example.
Don’t miss:
Nokia 7 Plus vs Honor 10 — two impressive contenders for the title of best value mid-range Android device. Both the Nokia 7 Plus and the Honor 10 provide some very impressive features and specs for their 350 pound (~$470) and 400 pound (~$535) price tags respectively.

Project Starline was shown off briefly today at Google I/O 2021. This experiment focuses on creating 3D photorealistic human models for videoconferencing. The technology can be used to make it look like users are chatting with someone else as if they were actually in the same room. Humanity may have gotten one step closer to experiencing the holodeck from Star Trek: The Next Generation. At rhe Google I/O 2021 keynote we saw our first glimpse of Project Starline.
