I've had the google camera app on my +Motorola Mobility DROID RAZR maxx HD since it was released*
But while the lens blur mode was in the photo interface, the control to actually modify the depth of field didn't actually show up in the editing mode until the most recent update. Here's Rosie the #corgi with a shallow depth of field ?
Sidecar racing has long been one of the craziest forms of motorsport out there
For the "passenger" this is no Sunday afternoon ride in the country. The rider in the sidecar is constantly shifting weight from side to side as the vehicle is cornering to keep everything planted. In left hand curves, the passenger's ass is hanging just barely off the pavement at insane speeds. ?

Formula E sounds like an interesting premise but two car swaps per 1 hour race? An electric sports car series would make more sense
Having the drivers come in and change cars twice per hour as a means of dealing with the fact that current battery technology has terrible energy density doesn't seem like a great solution.
However, swapping the batteries is also less than ideal. In addition to the obvious cost considerations, there is a significant safety reason behind why Project Better Place and +Tesla Motors have both proposed completely automated battery swap systems. Handling large high-voltage batteries is cumbersome and dangerous.
Perhaps a better solution for Formula E would have been to incorporate a larger battery and something akin to Tesla's high-power supercharger system. Better still, don't do open-wheel cars where the size of the battery pack is so inherently limited by packaging constraints. Do a full-body sports car.
How about something like a modern battery-powered Can-Am series?
Create a car the size of a +McLaren M20 or +Porsche 917-30 with sufficient battery to run a 45 minute sprint race. Then do two or even three heats in the course of a day with time to recharge between heats. That could make for some interesting racing.?
Here’s how Formula E deals with short battery life, and here’s why it’s wrong.
