The flashlight app for my iPhone has been updated with an intensity slider to control the brightness.

Because “my flashlight is too bright” has been said by no person ever.

Lou Jones: Diary of a Reality Television Show:

Boston area photography rockstar Lou Jones was recently recruited for The Moment, a reality TV show on the USA Network. Apparently, he’ll be mentoring an aspiring photographer so that she can interview with Sports Illustrated. The show airs April 11, 2013 at 10pm ET.

Lou is an incredible teacher and an amazing photographer. I’ve met him and heard him speak several times, and each time I learn a new piece of photography wisdom.

Link goes to Lou’s diary about the production process.

Great, now engineers think that they are economists too:

PandoDaily absolutely eviscerates the Bitcoin craze. You can’t expect something limited to 21 million units to ever become a real currency.

ROAM, another beautiful video showing off the MōVI gimbal - this time on an RC helicopter. Visuals like this were either expensive or impossible before now.

Vincent Laforet has just posted a beautiful new movie showing off the power of MōVI - a new handheld camera gimbal. Laforet makes such beautiful films when he wants to show off new toys, and this one is no exception. I imagine a lot of TV shows and movies are going to be borrowing these visuals in the coming years.

When is the difference between 99% accuracy and 99.9% accuracy very important? - Quora:

When it can stop a Zombie Apocalypse.

This should be required reading by anyone who does math. The difference between 99% and 99.9% doesn’t sound like much, but it can actually be huge.

I'm Raising My Bitcoin Price Target To $400 - Business Insider

I'm Raising My Bitcoin Price Target To $400 - Business Insider:

If I were going to put a price target on Bitcoin, I would think that $400 would be a perfectly reasonable target.

…

And, because you’re probably already getting ready to blast me for “irresponsibly fueling speculation,” so would $0.

I’ve long wondered whether Bitcoin will be the future of money or a giant con set to explode in people’s faces. My current belief is with a hard limit of 21 million bitcoins, there won’t be enough of them to make them a viable currency. Instead, they’ll be some kind of niche store of value with a limited trading economy.

What If The Google Reader Readers Just Don’t Come Back? | TechCrunch:

And without links to sites being seeded via Reader, maybe non-regular visitors dip as well. All of this could seriously screw with the pageview-based advertising model of the blogosphere. What if five to ten percent of visits just vanish? What if it’s even more?

MG Siegler finally gets it. The demise of Google Reader is bad for everyone, even if they don’t use it.
