Magisto iPhone video app update has a surprise for you

Magisto, a cloud-based iOS app that uses Artificial Intelligence to automatically mix your iPhone photos and videos into movies, has unveiled a new trick: Surprise Me. This new feature — part of an update to the free app — uses AI to create original videos, but this time independently and without your input.
With the aptly named Surprise Me enabled, the app will now sort through your old content and splice it together into its own production.
The new feature automatically determines when enough new media has been added to an event, analyzes the content, combines photos and videos of its choosing into a video, and send you an alert.

Some people are meticulous about what they carry around on their phones. But with so many photos and videos shot every day, it’s hard to keep track of everything, no less put some favorite photos and clips to good use. Surprise Me can take care of that part, digging into past content you may have forgotten about and bringing it back to life.

Unlike the familiar app, which lets you choose your clips and from among the app’s themes and music, Surprise Me taps into the Magisto’s emotion sensing technology to generate that part of the presentation for you.
The number of Surprise Me movies that Magisto generates will depend on the individual user’s activity and level of content. When a movie is created, users get an alert. After viewing the movie, they can keep, delete, add to or share it.
The Surprise Me feature has been available in beta to Magisto users since April, and was rolled into the app’s update today.

Dropbox Pro goes big with 1TB of storage, password protected shared files and remote wipe of devices

Image
Dropbox just announced that Dropbox Pro will be consolidated from three pricing structures to a single price point of $9.99 a month with 1TB of storage. Plus, it’s introducing features that’ll make sharing files and links more powerful. The new Dropbox Pro features the ability to add view-only permissions to shared folders, passwords for shared links, and expiration dates for shared links. On top of that, users will be able to remotely wipe a device with a Dropbox account and all the files associated with that account. The view only permissions feature should solve the problem of sharing a folder with someone and having them either delete the contents or change the files inside the folder without your permission. Files in the folder cannot be edited and can’t be moved within the folder. They can be however dragged out of the folder and a copy is made. Passwords for shared links makes sure only the person intended to see the files. When sharing a file from the Dropbox site, via the ...

Faraday wants you to believe it’s not a front for the Apple Car, but probably is

Image
Billion dollar car companies don’t pop up overnight. Well, except Apple   Faraday . It plans to release its first vehicle in 2017, and claims it’ll have  15 percent more range  than the Tesla Model S. Bold. It’s also spending some serious loot. According to a recent  blog post , Apple  Faraday plans to spend $1 billion to develop a manufacturing plant in California, Nevada, Georgia or Louisiana in order to “explore other aspects of the automotive and technology industries, including unique ownership and usage models, in-vehicle content and autonomous driving.” The well-funded startup currently employs 400 people and adds 10 new hires a week. Right now you’ll find them operating out of Nissan’s former California research facility. All that sounds great, but where Apple  Faraday loses the rest of us — and sparks intense rumor that this could indeed be the Apple car —  is through its representative speaking in vague generalities and carefully guarded trui...

8 affordable tools to help optimize for conversion and understand your users better

Image
Conversion rate optimization (CRO) has remained a hot topic over the last few years, and more companies are starting to allocate larger proportions of their budget to optimize their websites for existing users rather than focusing solely on customer acquisition. Over the last few weeks I’ve been involved in a lot of CRO-focused projects, both in my day job and on some of my side projects – so I thought I’d focus my first TNW article on some of the tools that I’ve used and found particularly useful. The following tools are designed to either aid the CRO process or help to deliver insight into the performance of your website. Optimizely Via About Analytics Optimizely is an A/B testing tool (amongst many other things) that allows you to quickly and easily perform experiments on content and pages of your website. I really like Optimizely because it makes it very quick and easy to create complex experiments and apply them to either all of your visitors or individually specified sub...
