Hm. this isn't bad. girls seem more relationship material. Might open up a Tinder account and see what's up with that as well.

HTC’s philosophy is that we’re all trapped behind the screens of our smartphones when we capture important moments in our lives, whether that’s a child’s birthday or a Jay-Z concert. RE is lightweight, simple, and out of the way so that allegedly, documenting your life doesn’t keep you from actually experiencing it. RE is meant to appeal to selfie-taking teens, busy parents, and urban socialites in need of an easier way to take photos. But it’s hard to say if those people would pay $US200 for this GoPro alternative when it arrives later this month.
The Re is HTC’s newest product. It’s basically like a mini-periscope for your hands. Or, if you’ve ever seen a Ventolin inhaler, you’re spot on. It’s equipped with a grip-sensor so the Re knows when you’ve picked it up in order to turn on, and capturing photos and videos is delivered via a giant button on the top of the device mounted towards the user. Your thumb naturally falls on it and it’s a great way to snap an image, given that a little pulse tells you that the shot is safely stored inside the microSD card.
It’s packing a 16-megapixel BSI compact sensor, capable of shooting HD video at 1080p or 720p. The Re can also shoot slow motion, 120fps video, at 720p. The lens on the Re is a 146-degrees super-wide angle affair. It’s all powered by an 820mAh battery and weighs just 66.5 grams.
The Re is waterproof in one metre of water for 30 minutes thanks to an IPX7 certification, or you can buy an optional cap to clip over the bottom of the device where the USB slot lives which turns it into an IPX8 device. That’s three metres of immersion for up to two hours whilst still being waterproof.
The battery allows for 100 minutes of HD video recording, or for 1000 photos. So you can get back in the action quickly (because who remembers to charge their action camera before they go?), HTC has given the Re a fast-charge capability that gives it 100 per cent of its charge within two hours.
Although comfortable, the way you hold RE feels aggressive. Sometimes it’s like your fingers are wrapped around the handle of some weapon or your thumb poised over the button of a detonator.
That’s where simplicity comes in: that detonator button is one of only two hardware controls on the entire camera. The top chrome circle is the capture key. One quick press, and you snap a photo. Press and hold, and you switch over to video capture. The camera communicates through a series of Tamagotchi-like beeps to indicate when recording, switching modes, or taking a photo. Also like a Tamagotchi, it can get reeeaaallly annoying after a while. Luckily, there’s a silent setting. The other button is on the front of the device, right under the scratch-resistant lens, and only lets you switch in and out of the camera’s slow-motion mode. Below that is a status LED that gives warnings on battery life and mode selection, and the microUSB port and microSD card slot on the bottom just about rounds out the tour.
I will probably get this camera.

Its going to be good for taking a lot of pics casually, day to day life kind of things.

yuppie hipsters?
I've been eating persian food all week. Few new spots, really good. Damn, Persian food is pretty fucking healthy. Grilled chicken kabob, some of their persian bread to roll with some vegetables and shit. Add some hummus and olive oil, its pretty good shit.
Seriously, when you're talking about chick-fil-A, I can get some fresh kabob sandwhich for the same price. You could too at a food pod bruh.
Chick fil A is pretty good though.

I believe it's ground beef. Don't think they eat porkBomb. What kind of meat is that? Looks like pork instead of chicken.
probably going to get my first tinder bang tonight. haven't been using it much but some chick started messaging me last night and she's coming over later tonight to my place.
