Love taking pictures of your food? Then you’ll love the new app Foodie

By Lulu Chang February 16, 2016

If your Instagram account, Facebook Timeline, and Twitter feed are more of an homage to your love for food than anything else (no judgment, mine is too), get ready for your world to be upended in the best way possible. The LINE Corporation, the same company that brought you the sticker-centric messaging app that has greatly improved my communication skills, has released a new camera app called “Foodie,” dedicated to taking delicious photos of food.

The free app recognizes our collective obsession with documenting the delicious things we’re about to consume (because honestly, no one cares about what you did over your vacation as much as what you ate), and as such, “offers a cornucopia of features with a singular goal: to make food pictures more delicious.”

Featuring 24 food filters including “Meat,” “Sushi,” and “Cake,” you can rest assured that, no matter what’s on your plate, you’re going to get a pretty phenomenal and mouth-watering shot of it. The app’s “best angle” feature makes it easy for the amateur and professional photographer alike to determine when the camera is positioned perfectly above the subject. And the result is that now, taking gourmet food shots is a breeze.

Foodie also includes an auto blurring effect to give images an SLR photography feel, as well as brightness adjustment and flashlight features that give the user more shooting options. And of course, Foodie will connect to all your other social media accounts, allowing you to share your newly perfected food photography skills with your Instagram following.

In the coming months, Foodie says its team will keep creating food-specific features, including filters and effects, that will ultimately make for “more enjoyable and enriching communication experiences through food photos.”

So what are you waiting for? Take your food photos to the next level with this free iOS and Android app, and make your followers’ mouths water.

The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro are finally here, and with price tags you’ll love

The back of the Google Pixel 7 Pro.

Google today announced the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, its flagship phones for 2022, at its #MadeByGoogle October event. Both of these devices will replace the now discontinued Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, slotting in at precisely the same price points of $600 and $900, while the Pixel 6a will bring up the rear as the cheaper Pixels.

As with all smartphones released this year, it's an iterative update. There's a lot of stuff, sure, but none of it is strictly new. The camera visor, for one. Yes, it's the same, but it's now covered by a metal banding to protect the glass underneath. It's a neat look that works with the colors -- Obsidian, Snow, and Lemongrass (Hazel for the Pro) -- to provide the Pixel's classic dual-tone color scheme. The displays remain good and get even brighter, stopping out at 1,500 nits. If that means nothing to you, let's just say it should almost as bright as the very good iPhone 14 Pro Max.

You’ll have to imagine how fun the new OnePlus Nord 2 x Pac-Man phone looks

The OnePlus Nord 2's camera module.

OnePlus is up to its old promotional tricks again. It has announced a collaboration between it and the ever-popular Pac-Man video game franchise, resulting in the OnePlus Nord 2 x Pac-Man Edition smartphone. OnePlus’ marketing department is building anticipation in a frustrating way by telling us how we can win one of the new phones and promising early access codes to the online store if we’re unsuccessful, but not actually showing us the phone at all yet.

You’ll have to pay extra for the new MacBook Pro’s fast charging feature

New 2021 Macbook Pro brings back magsafe charging.

Apple finally introduced its redesigned MacBook Pro line that brought many features that professionals and prosumers alike will definitely enjoy. One of those features is ability to get at least 50% charge after only 30 minutes of fast charging. However, the catch is that the ability to fast charge comes at an additional cost.

The base model 14-inch MacBook Pro ships with the 67W USB-C adapter. The problem is that it isn't enough to actually fast charge the base model. To take advantage of Apple's impressive fast charging, buyers must pay an extra $20 for the 96W USB-C power adapter. While $20 doesn't seem like much (especially if you're paying $2,000 or more for a laptop), it's disappointing that one of the marquee features of the new MacBook Pro is still an extra charge.
