From Nov 23 to Nov 29, one can subscribe to Newton at $24.99/yr, that’s just $2/mo. Update: An earlier version of this post stated that the $24.99/yr price would be valid for life.

I’ve tried lots and lots of email apps, trying to recreate that seamless, supercharged productivity that my Outlook command center gives me at work....

Note to Self I’ve gone back and forth on this topic for the last five years or so, so I was glad when one of my favorite podcasts tackled the subject. It was covered in a recent episode of WNYC’s Note to Self (formerly known as “New Tech City”). Note to Self has a listener mailbag installment, and in this one, a listener asked the question: To answer the listener’s question, the host Manoush Zomorodi assembled a pretty excellent panel of herself, her executive producer Jen Poyant, and Hillary Frank of the Longest Shortest Time fame....

How It Works In a perfect world, any kind of motion blur would be would be one-directional and constant. However, in real life, things are a bit different. The path of the motion blur depends greatly on the focal length, shutter speed, hand movement, and subject movement during the shot. What this means is that Photoshop’s job is to analyze the photo and try to determine this motion blur path in order to try and compensate for it....

When you upgrade your system, Windows creates a copy of the previous version on the local hard drive in case you need to roll back to the previous install. Maybe the installation wasn’t successful, an important program keeps crashing, or something else goes awry. But if everything is going just fine after the update (wait a few weeks before making that call), you can delete that backup copy. Over time, it collects a lot of outdated files you don’t need....

His team went out on the streets with an iPhone 4 and told people it was the new iPhone 5 from Apple. The responses are quite amusing. Of course, none of our groovy readers would fall for such a gag right? Are people just not interested in tech and phones anymore? Or are we geeks too close to the situation and live in our own bubble and need to get lives?...

A few days ago, BGR connected the dots on some Facebook rumors and came to the conclusion that the social media giant will soon be rolling out 15-second auto-play video ads on your Facebook news feed. Currently, sponsored content is confined to the sidebars and is not invasive in the same way those blaring car commercials on TV are. But Facebook’s forthcoming monetization strategy may change all that. In short, as BGR said: “Using Facebook is about to get a lot more annoying....
