iNew for iPhone and what’s hot in Dropbox

Eighties awareness: you weren't there man!
He worked the denim and white sneakers look the first time around and he danced his way into our hearts. Kevin Bacon is a veteran of the 1980s and has taken it upon himself to lecture millennials on what it was like "back then" and how easy they have it now. There was no Google, no texting, no apps, and they had a genuine cold war. All we have is climate change and Social Media Fatigue Syndrome (yes, it's a thing). His parting words? "You people will never know the comfort of parachute pants." Kev, your jeans in Footloose were as tight as any hipsters.

Turn your old iPhone into something iNew
It seems as though the iPhone 6 will arrive this September and in two sizes:
a 4.7-inch and a 5.5-inch model. No prizes for guessing that it is expected to have a higher resolution screen (Ultra-Retina), faster processor (A8 chip) and thinner body. The real question is: what are you going to do with your current iPhone? There are some unusual ideas here that will make you think twice about simply flogging it. Why not buy an adapter to turn it into a digital SLR camera with fancy lenses? Or perhaps an infra-red attachment that converts the iPhone into a universal remote for the TV and set-top box.

Dropbox it like it's hot
It is fairly widely known that when someone uploads copyrighted material to YouTube, they are swiftly sent a take-down notice. This is largely an automated process that detects identical copies as requested by copyright holders. Until a few days ago many didn't realise that Dropbox operates a similar detection method. Dropbox user Darrell Whitelaw tweeted – to much publicity – that a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) notice had blocked him from sharing a file in his personal folder. It turns out Dropbox doesn't look into your folders – it simply compares file identifiers against those on a blacklist.
