How to make icons, text, and graphics larger with Display Zoom for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus both come equipped with brand new Retina HD displays that can show more content on them than ever. However, just like computer screens, some folks prefer sacrificing seeing more on the screen in favor of actually being able to see it, even if it means sacrificing on resolution slightly. Display Zoom on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus works in much the same way and lets you do just that!

How to use Display Zoom on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus

1. Launch the Settings app.


2. Tap on Display & Brightness.


3. Under the Display Zoom section, tap on View.


4. By default, Standard will be selected. Tap on Zoomed in order to change it.


5. You can swipe back and forth on the images below the toggles in order to view the difference between both views.


6. Choose the one you like best and then tap Set at the top right.

That's all there is to it! Everything on your iPhone 6 and 6 Plus should now look bigger. If you ever decide you want to change the resolution back to Standard, you can easily do so by following the same directions again.

If you've got an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus in your hands, have you decided to use Display Zoom in order to see better? Or would you rather just increase font size and leave the rest alone? Let me know in the comments!

Contour rises again, and announces Roam3 actioncam

For a while there, the Contour actioncam company was in a state of hiatus, leaving many people wondering when and if it would resume making cameras. Well, now it's under new ownership, and today it announced its latest offering – the Contour Roam3. While the camera reportedly offers "the best video and sound quality of any Contour to date," it actually features less bells and whistles than the company's existing +2 model. ..

Comienza el otoño de 2014

Esta madrugada a las 4:29 hora peninsular, comienza el otoño, que este año durará 89 días y 20 horas y terminará el 22 de diciembre con la entrada del invierno, tal y como se puede leer en Inicio astronómico del otoño de 2014 .

Es el momento en el que se produce el Equinoccio de Septiembre, que en el hemisferio norte también se conoce como Equinoccio de Otoño; en el hemisferio sur es el Equinoccio de Primavera.

Es uno de los dos días del año en el que la noche dura lo mismo que el día; el otro es en marzo, cuando el invierno da paso a la primavera.

Esto sucede porque el Sol sale justo por el este y se pone justo por el oeste, iluminando por igual ambas mitades del planeta.

Esta es la época del año en que la longitud del día se acorta más rápidamente. El Sol sale por las mañanas cada día un poco más tarde que el día anterior y por la tarde se pone antes, siendo el acortamiento del día especialmente apreciable por las tardes. En definitiva, al inicio del otoño el tiempo en que el Sol está por encima del horizonte se reduce en casi tres minutos cada día a las latitudes de la península.

De hecho, el próximo 26 de octubre tendremos que sufrir, una vez más, el cambio de hora, para adaptarnos a la decreciente longitud de los días.

Quizás convenga recordar, una vez más, que aunque en el hemisferio norte el invierno está llegando en realidad esto tiene muy poco que ver con la distancia de la Tierra al Sol, pues de hecho en pleno invierno del hemisferio norte es cuando la Tierra está más cerca del Sol.

El factor que mas influye en el calor o en el frío que sentimos es la inclinación del eje de rotación de la Tierra, que hace que el Sol caiga más a plomo en verano en el hemisferio norte, a pesar de ser cuando más lejos estamos del Sol, mientras que en invierno cae mucho más de lado, de tal forma que aunque estamos más cerca de este los rayos de Sol no nos caen tan a plomo y no nos calientan tanto.

Y es que las estaciones, según las mires, van al revés.

Slamstop pulls car doors closed, so you don't have to slam 'em

At some point or another, you've probably half-heartedly swung your car's passenger door closed, only to see the "door ajar" light come on once you're on the road. In some cases, this can even result in the door swinging open while driving. Slamming the doors shut is one option, although Slamstop is designed to be a quieter alternative. ..

iPhone 6 Plus vs. Nokia Lumia 1520 camera shootout!

We've already seen how the iPhone 6 Plus camera shapes up against the iPhone 6, but what about the real competition? You know, phones Apple doesn't make? Well, our buddy Mark Guim over at Windows Phone Central has taken the time to do a quick shootout between Apple's biggest phone and the biggest Nokia phone to date, the Lumia 1520.

Here are some of Mark's observations:

• The iPhone 6 Plus images in daylight consistently appear brighter than the images on the Lumia 1520.


• The images on the Lumia 1520 appear to have more detail and slightly more contrast.


• In low light, the images on the Lumia 1520 appear brighter than the iPhone 6.


• Both perform well at getting the right white balance.

Of course, you don't just have to take his word for it, the photos over at the source link and in the video below are there for you to judge for yourselves. Mark's pretty handy when it comes to photography but he's right when he says that deciding which is "better" is pretty subjective. And Nokia – now Microsoft, of course – has done great things with cameras for a number of years now, so it's of no surprise that it's a close call.

So, check them out for yourselves and tell us which you prefer in the comments below!
