Best New Apps: Frax HD

Frax HD is intimidating at first. It’s all about fractals; visualizations of complex mathematical equations that twist and turn to create beautifully strange images. The technical explanation is enough to make your head hurt, but thankfully you don’t really need to understand any of that. All you need to know is that Frax HD is an incredible tool for crafting bizarre and fun landscapes. There are 42 different landscapes you can interact with — and close to 200 if you splurge for the “pro” upgrade — and you can alter them by playing with their color, lighting, and texture to create something new. Meanwhile, the familiar pinch-and-zoom lets you explore their massive scale.

The touch controls mean that you don’t actually have to deal with any numbers of formulas. Instead, they let you put your fingers right into the image to tweak things like color and texture manually, and by working with several different characteristics you have a lot of flexibility to customize things how you want. The result can range from a beautiful work of art to a dark vision of horror to a seizure-inducing light show, and the app makes it easy to share and save your creations (they can make for some excellent iPad wallpapers). Frax HD might not make you better at math, but it will definitely show you it can be beautiful.

You can grab Frax HD now on iOS.

Lebanon introduces warning smartphone apps as Syria war at risk of crossing borders

Lebanese military as well as individual entrepreneurs have created smartphone apps aimed at warning their citizens of military action. This is against a backdrop of the Syrian conflict potentially crossing borders into neighboring states.

One of the new apps is designed to inform people of gunfights, to suggest routes around roadblocks using crowd sourced data, the Financial Times reported.

Since its launch, the application called Ma2too3a has been downloaded by more than 80,000 users.

“In other places in the world, the only thing that might obstruct your path is traffic,” Mohammad Taha, an entrepreneur working for Berytech, the first Lebanese business development center, pointed out. “In Lebanon there are many things that can happen.”

The Lebanese army is keeping up with the individual entrepreneurs, announcing the development of its own LAF (Lebanese Armed Forces) Shield application for iOS and Android. The application gives data on suspicious objects, vehicles and violence in the area.

Lebanese citizens will also have the chance to communicate directly with army personnel in case of kidnap or forced confinement, according to a statement from the army.

LAF Shield allows people to take photographs, record videos, or send messages linked to their security, the Army Command also indicated.

It also allows them to identify “dangerous sites” such as places where security incidents happened through an interactive site.

Plus, LAF Shield makes it possible for users to download army songs. 

Meanwhile, another entrepreneur is developing a smartphone application called “Way to Safety” that distinguishes the sound of gunfire from the sound of fireworks. Firas Wazneh believes that an app of this kind could come in handy in the country “where manic partying often overlaps with political violence.”

The application is also able to calculate the location of the gun fighting.

The news about the newly-introduced application comes amidst concerns that the Syrian conflict may escalate and affect neighboring states, including Lebanon.

Lebanon in fact went through a major civil war between 1975 and 1990, so its citizens are somewhat used to military action.

“We’ve had a lot of practice: the civil war was not just a couple of years,” art teacher Joumana Bou Khaled said.

Phone apps help track pets" activity, nutrition

By Natasha Baker

TORONTO | Mon Jun 10, 2013 12:36pm EDT

TORONTO (Reuters) – Dog and cat lovers have a new way to make sure their pets get plenty of exercise and nourishment: phone apps that track how much an animal plays, runs, sleeps and eats.

Whistle, an iPhone app and monitor worn on a dog’s collar that was launched last week, measures an animal’s activity throughout the day. The app can track changes over time and can compare exercise levels with other dogs of the same breed.

Created with input from veterinarians, Whistle Labs’ app aims to help owners detect early medical problems by showing changes in a dog’s activity level and behavior compared to other animals of the same age, breed and weight.

“What (veterinarians) get today are hyperemotional responses, often driven by one or two anecdotes,” said Ben Jacobs, chief executive of the San Francisco-based company.

“What we found out was that a) vets didn’t really have the information they needed and b) there’s no breed weight and age standards,” he added in an interview.

The app gathers data from a small circular device attached to a dog’s collar. An accelerometer in the device detects motion, helping to determine if the dog is playing, walking or resting. The rechargeable device is enabled for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The app also notifies owners of changes in a dog’s behavior, such as if it suddenly starts waking up at night.

“This is the first window you have into the dog’s entire day,” Jacobs said.

The monitor costs $ 99.95 and the app is free for iPhones. Whistle Labs said it is also gathering data about dog activity by breed and weight for research use.

Another app called Pintofeed, which is linked to a Wi-Fi-connected feeder and costs $ 149, allows owners to feed their dogs and cats remotely and set feeding schedules.

“People lead busy lives and don’t really want to have to deal with another task. The feeder is autonomous and manages the feeding for you so you don’t have to rush home from work,” said Carlos Herrera, co-founder and president of Pasadena, Calif.-based Pintofeed.

“The app is meant to be a management and notification device. You’ll get alerts saying your dog skipped a meal, or your batteries are running low, or the food is running low,” he added.

For owners who want to keep tabs on the location of their dogs and cats, an app call Tagg for iPhone and Android provides the information.

The GPS-enabled tracker attaches to the collar of a pet and tracks the animal’s location on a map. Users receive alerts when the pet ventures outside a particular range and they can also view activity levels.

Tagg costs $ 99.95 and has a subscription fee of $ 7.95 per month.
