De-blur-er? on Photoshop Sneak Preview

I'm very busy these days and don't have much time to update this blog regularly, but after seeing this on YouTube I had to make a post. It's a new function scheduled for release in the near future (don't know when, don't ask me) that un-blurs your images with high-precision. Don't you hate it when you go home and connect your smart phone to download your daily pictures and then find out that the shot with that new Lamborghini Aventador is blurry because the car past by like 100mph? Yeah, I bet you do. This new filter will un-blur that sucker for you and will put your happy face back on your head. :D

Watch the video of the filter in action:

Free Calls on iPhone and Android via Viber

Everything that is free is always welcome. Same goes with phone calls.

I found this app recently for my Android phone. It's called Viber. With it you can call your friends and family for free. It will import all your contacts, sync personal details and accounts. And the most awesome feature is it's sound quality. Calls sound a lot better than my regular carrier. Of course to use it you'll need access to mobile data services or WiFi. I should also mention that it doesn't consume much bandwidth. I think it's in the range of 240KB per minute up and down. That's about 14MB an hour. Pretty neat.
