Wanna take a trip into space and back on a solid rocket booster? (video)


Ever reminisce about NASA's space shuttle launches by watching them on its Ascent iOS movie app? The footage was shot by cameras attached to the solid rocket boosters that pushed the craft heavenward and provides one of the best ways of experiencing what all that rocket thrust feels like. We're still getting over the intestine-tugging video and in awe of those who strapped themselves in for the trip, but soon there could be a high-def version to make those charred thermal tiles even more intimidating. Plans are afoot to put all of these clips out on a Blu-Ray, but only if NASA can find a partner willing to distribute it.

Get your mortgage paid for a year

HOW would you like to get your mortgage paid for the next year?

The Evening Post is offering you the chance to win enough money to pay for your mortgage or rent for 12 months – up to £8,500 over a year.

To have a chance of winning you need a game card.

You may already have one from your March 15 edition of The Observer – but if you missed out then you can also get your hands on one from local participating retailers. All you have to do is go into a shop which is taking part and ask for a free card.

The game card has a six-digit code printed on it, and if your code gets printed in the Evening Post over the next couple of weeks you will win a cash prize.

Make sure you buy the Evening Post every day from March 19 until April 4 to check if your code is printed – different codes will go in every day.

Everyone who gets their code printed will win a place in the grand final, where you could win the big prize of up to £8,500.

Everyone else in the final will win a share of a £1,500 pot of cash, which will be split equally.

If you see your code printed, call the claim line on 0117 934 3034 between 10am and 3pm the day after your code was printed.

You must have your game card with you when you make your claim, and torn or defaced card will be declared void.

All Friday and Saturday claims should be made the following Monday between 10am and 3pm. Claims will not be accepted outside of these times.

Katherine Woolley, senior promotions executive at the Evening Post, said: "We are really excited to be giving someone such a great prize. Just think what a weight off your mind it will be to have your mortgage paid off for a year.

"Then instead of all your hard-earned wages paying off your mortgage or rent, you can save up for that new car you've been meaning to buy, treat yourself to a nice holiday, or really spoil your family and friends when birthdays and Christmas come round.

"If you haven't already got yourself a game card make sure you get one before Monday."

Entrants must be 18 or over and only one claim will be accepted per household.

The winner will receive their mortgage or rent paid for 12 months – with a sum of money up to £709 a month.

For a full list of terms and conditions see in paper from March 19.

Standard Evening Post terms and conditions apply and are published every Tuesday, or you can visit www.thisisbristol.co.uk/houserules.

What the new iPad and Apple TV mean for media

Posted by on March 7, 2012

Apple took the wraps off a new retina display iPad (with 4G LTE) and a 1080p Apple TV box today (sorry no TV set), both of which will be available on March 16th. While the announcements themselves aren?t particularly groundbreaking ? solid incremental improvements ? Tim Cook revealed a metric that should be a bit of shocker:

?We sold more iPads in the last quarter of last year, than any PC maker sold of their PCs,? he said. ?We?re talking about a world where the PC is no longer at the center of your digital world, but rather just a device. We?re talking about a new world where the devices you use the most need to be more portable? and dramatically more easy to use than ever before.?

In other words, don?t think of an iPad as a ?tablet? per se, but a new category of media device that blends a computer, television, gaming console and HD camera in a single, portable unit. For media companies, this is the new point of the spear, and for the first time, the numbers back it up. Design for glass first, keyboards second. Build for portability first, desktops second.

The new display ? which adds a million pixels ? will provide media developers with a richer canvas. However, existing apps will be scaled up automatically, and text will render in higher-res. ?Everything has been updated, but as you remember when the iPhone 4 went to the retina display, developers didn?t have to do anything and their apps looked better,? said Apple?s Phil Schiller. Still, it will be interesting to see what low-res images (like brands) look like on the new display.

With the new retina display and a faster chip, the immediate and most obvious application is ?console-quality? gaming. After all, over half of all app sessions on iOS and Android are dedicated to gaming, and the most popular category of app purchases ? by a long shot ? are games. So it?s safe to say, the new iPad will accelerate game development even further.

The second most obvious application is video. Apple announced 1080p for the cloud and the new Apple TV, and the new iPad is equipped with 3.1 million pixels (?the most ever for a mobile device?) and a 1080p video camera, to boot. The iPad is made for consuming vast amounts of video, and with an updated iMovie app, can also create video, as well. And as we know, it comes in extremely handy as a second-screen device, but Apple didn?t announce any new synergy between the iPad and Apple TV (currently you can sync the two via Airplay).

Finally, photos take center screen on the new iPad, with the launch of a powerful iPhoto app on the device. I remember when the iPad first came out, people doubted the need for a camera (other than video calling). But I find myself taking plenty of photos ? and you can import up to 19 megapixel photos from your favorite SLR (or just your iPhone). The new iPhoto, probably more than anything else, will help shift the iPad (albeit slightly) from simply a consumption device to more of a creation device.

As far as the Apple TV, it?s now running iOS 5, which means the next logical addition would be adding video apps. Not this time, but perhaps when Apple unveils a TV set later this year?

Any other thoughts to add from today?s announcements?
