The RAGGEDedge Gear GoPro Camera Stow Bag is as tough as the camera itself

We’ve reviewed RAGGEDedge Gear wallets and bags before, and we found them to be sturdy and well-made.  Their goods are made of carbon fiber, Kevlar, or Hi-Tech sailcloth, so you know they are made to stand up to the elements.  The GoPro cameras are touch little POV cameras, and you’ll be taking them into many [...]

The Landsat Program Is the Closest We'll Ever Get to Captain Planet

The Landsat program has revolutionized how we view the Earth during its forty continuous years of operation. The reams of data generated by seven generations of satellites has helped govern both public and private policies from agriculture and forestry management to cartography, geology, and urban planning. The eighth iteration of Landsat is slated for launch next week and is expected to deliver more detailed data than ever. More »

Auslogics Disk Defrag 3.2 gets smarter, faster

auslogics defrag
Auslogics Disk Defrag has been part of my system maintenance toolkit for quite some time. With the release of version 3.2, it's now even better at tidying up and optimizing your system's hard disk drives. In addition to a cleaner, easier-to-use interface, Disk Defrag 3.2 offers improved single file and folder defragging, better processing of multiple disks, a simplified scheduling screen, and more informative tool tips. Auslogics has also fine-tuned the program's defragmentation and file consolidation algorithms.

For laptop users, there's a new option to lock the program if your system is running on battery power -- so scheduled operations don't kick in and drain your power source at an inopportune moment. If you happen to have an SSD installed in your PC, you can head to the Disk Defrag options and exclude it from scanning (many think that defragmenting an SSD is a very bad idea).

Auslogics Disk Defrag is a free download and works with most versions of Windows.

Track your weight loss with Monitor Your Weight for iPhone and iPad

It's Fitness Month here at iMore and Mobile Nations and for many of us, that means weight loss. For the past couple weeks, I've been on the hunt for an app dedicated to tracking my weight, and it was no easy task. Before the iPhone 5, Weightbot was my go to weight-tracking app, but since Tapbots has not updated Weightbot to support the iPhone 5, I'm ready to move on to an app that does. After searching high and low, I've settled on Monitor Your Weight.

The two main features that drew me to Monitor Your Weight are, of course, iPhone 5 support, and the fact that it is primarily a weight tracker. There are so many apps out there that also track your calorie intake, activities, and other things, but since I'm not interested in keeping track of those things, it's unnecessary clutter.

On the main tab of Monitor Your Weight, you'll find all the details surrounding your weight including your starting weight and BMI, your target weight and BMI, your current weight, how much progress you've made toward your goal, and more. There is also a button at the bottom of your details card to quickly enter your current weight. For each entry, you can select your weight out to one decimal place, the date, and add any notes that you may find relevant to that entry.

To get a visual representation of your progress, Monitor Your Weight includes a Graph tab that displays your entries as a line graph. You can view the graph with current data, as a summary over the past month, or view the entire timeline beginning from your start date and ending at your target date. In addition, the graphs display two separate dotted lines: the green one represents the rate at which you should lose weight to reach your goal in the time you specified, and the yellow line is a regression line based on your actual progress and predicts when you can expect to reach your goal if you continue losing weight at your current rate.

To view a simple list of all your entries, visit the History tab. You can also easily edit or delete any entries that may have been a mistake.

Monitor Your Weight supports multiple users and the Settings tab is where you go to set them up. For each user, you enter their name, birthday, height, gender, body frame (small, medium, large), and a start weight and date. Monitor Your Weight will then calculate your ideal weight and an appropriate target date to go with it. If you don't agree with Monitor Your Weight's results, you can change them to what you want. You can also choose from nine different theme colors for each user.

To keep your information backed-up and synced between devices, Monitor Your Weight has an in-app purchase available for $0.99 for synchronization. It's not made clear when you purchase it for the first time, but if you plan on using both the iPhone and iPad versions of Track Your Weight, you'll have to buy the in-app upgrade for both versions.

The good

  • Multiple user support
  • Automatically calculates ideal weight and target date based on age, height, gender and body frame
  • Kilos, Pounds, Stones, Meters or Feet
  • Calculates BMI
  • Includes detailed summary statistics and graphs to track your progress
  • Option to set a PIN
  • Icon badge displays the number of units you have left to lose or the number of units lost
  • Ability to export data via email
  • Support for AchieveMint, Wahoo Scale, and Withings Scale
  • iPhone 5 support

The bad

  • Boring looking interface
  • No landscape support on iPhone, including graph views
  • Must purchase synchronization for each version

The bottom line

Although Monitor Your Weight isn't the most beautiful app I've ever seen, it does a great job of tracking your weightless progress. There is a surprisingly small number of apps available that are dedicated to weight-tracking and support the iPhone. Monitor Your Weight was the best one I could find.

Also, don't forget to enter all our Fitness Month contests! Lots of great prizes up for grabs!

Facebook's busted, taking the web down with it

Facebook's busted, taking the web down with it

Looks like Facebook Connect has gone a crapper, and sadly it seems to be taking a lot of the internet down with it. If you're having trouble getting to where you want to go, logging out of Facebook seems to sort things out again. Not much else is known at this point, other than maybe being dependent on single-point-of-failure networks isn't a great idea. Hopefully they fix this up quickly.

Meanwhile, let us know if you're having trouble, and when/if things start working again.

Pastebin updated to V3, releases Windows app

pastebin
Pastebin is a very popular website aimed at coders and other nerdy types, which allows them (or should I say, us) to paste and share snippets of code with lovely syntax highlighting.

It has recently undergone a major overhaul which includes the release of a brand new Windows client. The new client lets you create new "pastes" and manage your existing ones. It joins a host of other tools from Pastebin, such as the Google and Chrome extensions, OS X widget and the mobile apps.

If you're currently using Pastebin, the new client is a great addition. And if you haven't tried it before, next time you have a piece of code you want to share or get some feedback on, you could do worse than try out Pastebin.

[Thanks, Jeroen!]

Editorial: On fragmentation, malware, and clicks

Android

Who's ready for the next round of the "Android is riddled with malware" game? Apparently the Washington Post is. John Gruber of Daring Fireball linked everyone to their story today that explains how Android's open model creates a fragmented system that is "like a really dry forest, and it’s just waiting for a match." That match, of course, is malware. It's a shame, really. Today's story at the Post brings several real issues to light. Manufacturers and carriers do have a problem keeping Android up to date, and failure to include Google's security patches makes things tough in the enterprise. Too bad it's all hidden under the buzzwords and click bait.

Malware that can execute on Android exists. Only a fool would think otherwise. But something else also exists, and it affects more people than Android based malware ever will. You don't realize it's happening when it happens, and it's everywhere. You see, the more you interact with a website, the more money the owners of that site make. The business of getting you to click a link because it has a sensational headline is alive and well, and getting bigger.

Windows 8 Explorer to feature Ribbon UI, SkyDrive and Mesh integration?

windows 8 explorer ribbon
Rafael Rivera and Paul Thurrott have posted a second look at some of the early changes which have surface in Windows 8 milestone 3. First there was the restyled Welcome Screen, and now it appears that Microsoft is toying with bringing the Ribbon UI to Explorer.

The Ribbon, like in Microsoft Word and Excel, is context-aware, adding tabs for specific tasks which apply to the folder you're viewing -- such as library or picture management. You can also make out two new buttons in the status bar, which allow you to change the current folder's view style.

It's clear from all the placeholder images and repeated elements that this is very much a work in progress, but featuring the Ribbon more prominently in Windows 8 would certainly be a logical progression for Microsoft. It's slowly become more ubiquitous, moving beyond Office and into Wordpad, Paint, and several of the Windows Live Essentials applications.

There's more to the screenshots than the Ribbon UI, however. Our friend Long Zheng has noted two interesting elements in the images: Web sharing and sync (image after the break). That would likely mean users will be able to quickly upload files to SkyDrive and synchronize using Live Mesh right from Explorer in Windows 8. That's not a total surprise considering many of the earliest leaked images of Windows 8 showed Windows Live integration on the desktop.

Carbon (Twitter) update fixes bugs and adds Nexus 7 "support"

Android Central

Carbon (the Twitter client) has just received its first notable update since release in the Play Store, and it fixes a whole bucket of bugs. Notifications have been improved, fixing crashes and duplicate notifications. Several other crashes have been fixed related to avatar loading, deleting DMs, message long presses, account selection when tweeting and duplicate tweets. That's quite a few crashes being fixed for one update.

One other item that wasn't part of the changelog is "support" for the Nexus 7. We put support in quotes because although the app can now be downloaded on Nexus 7 devices, it's just the same phone UI as before. We reached out to the developer to ask why this was done and received this response pertaining to the Nexus 7 inclusion:

... it does [support the Nexus 7]. It's not a UI that we're designing exclusively for tablets, but the only reason it is now available on tablets is to avoid the 1-star reviews that it's been causing on Play Store. A full fledged tablet app with a UI designed from scratch for tablets is in the works.

The app will warn users at startup and informs users that the UI is not optimized for tablets yet.

We knew from before that the developer planned to release a separate tablet app that properly scales and takes advantage of larger screens in the near future. It's unfortunate that his hand has seemingly been forced into adding Nexus 7 support on the current version, which is obviously a suboptimal experience, just because of a barrage of 1-star reviews.
