New Yelp iPhone app is also out. There's a cool easter egg (Augmented Reality feature). Here's how to do it:
Andy Bakun, Kenn Ejima, Denise Howell and 92 other people liked this
Download the new Yelp app (came out yesterday). So you shake your iPhone 3 times. That activates a feature called Monocle. A message should come up if you activated it. A blue box will come up saying "the Monocle has been activated." It will create a button in the top right corner. Now you should be able to look at the bars, restaurants, etc. Only works on iPhone 3GS.
- Robert Scoble
waiting Robert.... :)
- Sampad Swain
You point it at businesses, or down the city block. I'll try it right now.
- Robert Scoble
Yep! Works. Took a few tries to get it to activate. Some of the places it shows me have been closed for ages though, guess I need to update Yelp for the area.
- Otto
That sounds so cool. Would love to see a video demo of it Robert!
- Alex Calic
I wonder why it's an easter egg. That sounds great.
- Daniel Ha
I just did it. Very cool. I hear this feature was added for me. I really love it!
- Robert Scoble
from iPhone
Daniel: probably to get it through the iPhone store approval process faster.

Raises the question of whether they would have rejected it if they'd known about it. Or did Yelp tell the reviewers about it?
- Jan Dawson
Very, very cool! Just tried it out. There's not a lot on Yelp near by work (kind of an industrial area), but I did get it to find the nearest restaurant. So cool! :-)
- Josh Bancroft
awesome!
- Marshall Kirkpatrick

- JP Holecka - Jaypiddy
Nice idea but in my case the locations seem to be about 180 degrees off - i.e. showing behind me instead of in front - but may be down to a fuzzy GPS location or something - will have to keep trying
- Jan Dawson
I wonder why it was "secret", ... undocumented API usage or just to create marketing buzz ?
- Kooleido

- Robert Scoble

Damn, nothings happening. I've shaked it :(
- Stephen Pickering
No iPhone 3G love because no compass? Phooey. :P

Installed It! Works Awesome! Would definitely use it on my next lunch hunt in Downtown
- Kooleido
Got it to work--just took a little more shaking...was worried I was going to put my phone through the ceiling!

Kooleido, how'd you get it to work. I've installed and shaken, but nothings happening
- Stephen Pickering
Oh--and very cool

I hate that the iPhone 3G can handle all this new stuff, but Apple insists that you need the 3Gs. Qik on the jailbroken 3G has been awesome!
- Elijah Nicolas
@Elijah Nicolas The 3Gs is for the built in compass that is required for augmented reality to work.

lol if it was added for you Robert it would show the cutest girls in the area instead
- Sherry Reynolds
Didn't I hear that Apple had an embargo on AR apps til next month?

- Patrick Looney

- Marshall Kirkpatrick
1st sentence typo in your post Marshall ;o)
- Alex Calic
Couldn't get it to work by "shaking it" but I got it to work by moving my iPhone up and down 3 times in a vertical motion. Pretty damn cool.
- Doug Rice
Marshall, how do you get that camera view? I can't seem to get mine to work. I've shaken and shaken
- Stephen Pickering
Well, thats slightly cool.
- Sean Oliver
Stephen, you should probably just keep shaking. In publish, with lots of people around. :) No, I don't know. I don't have a 3Gs so I don't have a compass so I don't have the Yelp AR.

- Victoria Harres

- Jason Wehmhoener
from iPhone
This is fantastic, just activated Monocle. For those having trouble, its best to move/raise and lower the iPhone 3 times vertically instead of just shaking it. I was shaking mine like a madman until I tried the vertical move.

I agree Chris. When I was a kid, I used to listen to the weekly addresses. When the WH started putting the text online, I'd just read it. When they started posting the audio, it made it easier to do it on my time. And I like going back through the archives, though it's annoying that the current way the WH posts the address, no longer give short summaries. This will make it even easier to view/listen when I want.
- Anika
Certainly beats preempting your favourite TV show. "We now return to your regularly scheduled program, already in progress."

Melanie the WH has been archiving the transcript and audio on whitehouse.gov for awhile now. The weekly addresses will still be on the radio as they have for the past 80 or so years.
- Anika
Anika, Thank you. I was aware of the WH site for some time. But I was concerned that the DD not be left out. It is good to know that these communications will still be radio-accessible. That is all many of these people have or understand. And that's all right. Their need and wisdom are still very vital.
- Melanie Reed
He wouldn't be the first high government representative doing something like this. Queen Rania of Jordan encouraged a video debate there in the run up to Youth Day in August and the British Royals have a channel there without comments I believe, with archived videos. But I don't think it's a good idea to have the weekly presidential address. At least not JUST in YouTube. Is he doing the video with some other TV or video companies or is it just YouTube?

Rolex Makes Official Time Sand? - http://www.ohgizmo.com/2009...
"I guess it makes sense that if an hourglass were to have any chance of accurately providing some measure of time, the sand would have to be of a uniform size, consistency and texture. And if any company on Earth were qualified to produce a sand used for timekeeping, it would be Rolex. A single bag of Time Sand flowing through a standard hourglass is the equivalent of 30 days, and the pallets and pallets of sand you see below represent a generous estimation of an average human lifespan.

Samsung Memoir cell phone has groundbreaking 8-megapixel camera, lots more - http://dvice.com/archive...
Jon Price, Wazza T, Zach Landes and Yolanda liked this
"Okay commenters, we hear you. We won't compare the gorgeous Samsung Memoir mobile phone to the iPhone. We'll just talk about that honking 8-megapixel camera on board, coupled with a xenon flash. Finally, a cell phone with a real camera hits U.S. shores. We have a hunch that lurking underneath that lens is Samsung's remarkable 8.5mm-thick camera module, announced last year, that's capable of some serious photography. Flip it over and there's a big touchscreen running Samsung's TouchWiz user interface. Couple that with an onboard music and video player, 3G connectivity, multimedia messaging, turn-by-turn GPS directions, stereo Bluetooth, and voice dialing, and you a worthy competitor to, uh, lots of other cell phones. Wonder if it can do copy and paste. Look for the Memoir later this month only on T-Mobile, rumored to cost around $299 with a 2-year contract."

This is fascinating. So what is on BBC America? Is that like BBC 1 over there or a selection from all BBC channels? You guys need to listen to Radio 1 more, especially Zane Lowe. I believe Radio 1 is on a station in the US and is timed delayed to match in the UK (i.e. Zane Lowe is on at 7pm here and also 7pm in the US).
- Kol Tregaskes
I guess we in the UK watch a lot of US TV shows but I still find the radio and newspaper thing odd. Why do you like 1Extra over a US station Anika and why do u guys prefer to read the BBC or the guardian over a US publication? One more question, do u reckon we'll one day have a "global Online dominant news site"? Iris that already the BBC?

Listened to the Beeb on shortwave when I was a teen-ager and watched BBC World News off and on over the past several years. Regularly browse the Times and Telegraph websites. Subscribe to the Economist. Some of this because U.S. equivalents either don't exist or don't have the same level of international coverage. Also, it's interesting to read on U.S. news from the outsider's perspective.

BBC America is pretty awful vs. the full library of the BBC. We get some newer programs, occasionally, but always quite a bit late and you have to sit through endless 'Crap in the Attic' and other rather tedious programming. For example Season 1 of Ashes to Ashes will start next month, nearly a year after it ran in the UK (and most people downloaded the torrents). They're trying to do better, have more cutting edge current programming, but during the day it's pretty awful

I started listening to 1Xtra one night with my husband. They were playing all this old dub. Been hooked ever since. I read papers from other countries to get a different viewpoint. It amuses me to see what a politician is willing to say to the BBC, but would never say to an American paper.

@Shevonne, is the camera source on "USB Video Class Video"? I assume the MB cam is the same setting as on the iMac. If anything, you can email them about this issue.
- Outsanity
Qik works great on the N95, but I haven't tried 12seconds. The issue here seems to be reaching out to your existing social networks on other sites to let them know you've got something posted.
- Mr. Gunn
I did two weeks ago and never received a response. Maybe they have resolved it. I'll check it out tonight.
- Shevonne
No. I have said this repeatedly in this thread: They are charging, when no other Social Networks are, in addition to not being funded. Not only that, their app does not support video - which is what their site is about. I don't know about you, but that is beyond bizarre to me.
- Mona Nomura
OK - so the principle is that social networks shouldn't charge users - you won't join/participate in one that does. Did I get that right? BTW I'm not snarking at you, just trying to understand.
- Brian Roy
I find it weird people will charge for a Twitter app and people buy them
- Outsanity
Charging for use and charging for apps are two separate things - 12seconds is releasing an app (that does not even DO what the site is about) for 99cents. There is way too much competition out there, what sets them aside? I do not believe in them, so I do not want to invest my time and or money. And Brian, it takes a lot to offend me, but thank you for the courtesy. :)
- Mona Nomura
It's a glorified slideshow with audio not video, where is Qik?
- Justin Fowler
Mona - OK, got it. And like I tell my kids - There is no excuse for failing to be polite :)
- Brian Roy
Seems like a good work around for a (i)phone that doesn't do video unless you jailbreak. I mean, the problem is with Apple not 12seconds. 12seconds has tried to come up with a (i)phone option for their users. This is a company that has spent less than 100k to get operational and I believe they all still have day jobs. I'll try it out for .99; what the heck.
- Kenley Neufeld
i think Kenley hit the nail on the head. 12seconds are not at fault.
- Outsanity
I don't think it's Apple's fault, I'm throwing blame at AT&T telling Apple not to allow it because their network can't handle it.
- Justin Fowler
Bottomline: different strokes for different folks. That is the beauty of choices. :) And I disagree the fault lies with Apple. Big picture, people. Big picture.
- Mona Nomura
I don't know Mona. Just seems like a company like Apple could provide two key things on their phones: video and copy/paste. Of course, I'm just playing with 12seconds and remembering how Twitter started out (the question then was, why?). I still ask that a bit about 12seconds, but trying anyway. I do like seesmic too.
- Kenley Neufeld
Mona - This is Sol one of the founders of 12seconds. I hear you. Our app and our product isn't for everyone. However, we have every right to try to create revenue. We're doing our best given that Apple doesn't allow video and a huge percentage of our users have iPhones (and don't want to jailbreak it). 12seconds is about sharing moments, not live streaming video. We think the app accomplishes this. AND we think it is worth 99 cents (which isn't very much).
- Sol
Just made my first clip with the app; pretty simple and now I can view 12seconds videos on the iPhone. I do see some interesting application with the app. Check out this post: http://12seconds.tv/channel... compared to my post: http://12seconds.tv/channel...

It's a slideshow with audio........... not exactly what I would want. Qik and Ustream both have iPhone apps in the queue. If they get approved, I hope 12seconds follows up with a video app

- Clarence Westberg
Believe me... if iphone video recording was an option, we'd be all over it. If @vijay is correct, then we'd be very very happy. However the output is video, you are essentially making a video in the end, it's just all ken burnsy ;) Thanks to everyone for your support! We totally appreciate it. (12seconnds co-founder)
- David Beach
Sorry guys, in my earlier comment I said we should see video support via s/w upgrade soon, but a comment in another thread made me think about the EVIL that holds back iPhone - at&t. Video apps + support might be filtered out by at&t based on bandwidth concerns, like they did with removing podcaster and apple's 50 MB podcast limit. It's something we should have in the back of our heads.
- vijay
@drs650 - Thanks! I am going to check it out when I get home. If anything, I will email you.
- Shevonne
I don't really get what 12seconds is about, but dissing their app for being "not what the site is about"? seriously? Mona - you do know that video is just a series of photos strung together right?
- Jon Price
This is very strategic to me. Granted, their 99cent price will get them less takers, but once the iPhone sdk allows video capture, they will be on it like butter on a hot potato and release an update, and will be the 1st app on iPhone with video capabilities. Prob easier getting an update of an app through instead of a fresh app...
- Shazron Abdullah
