Introducing The Fujifilm X-T1 Camera
After being very mysterious about their new camera release, Fujifilm has finally unveiled the new X-T1 camera. Previously, Fujifilm only gave us a sneak peek of what the camera looked like cosmetically without any of the specifications. Now, we have found out that the new mirror-less camera is built like a tank for those shooters out in less desirable conditions.
Itss weather resistant body is designed to water and dirt as well as the ability to work in temperatures of -10 degrees. The camera contains a 16.3 megapixel APS-C X-Trans II sensor with the ability to shoot 8 frames per second. Fujifilm looks like it has made another nice addition to their X series with the X-T1 camera, and you can get one starting at around $1700 with lens, so head on over to Fujifilm for more info.

Schoolboy Q Helps Promote Launch of SoundCloud's New Visual Player
Popular online audio platform SoundCloud has released a new visual player that gives a complete makeover to the embedded player by now allowing artists' artwork to be displayed along with their music. Artists' artwork is important, and now it is front and center for everyone to see and SoundCloud also revamped its waveform to give users a better visual experience. The new player also offers a better listening experience, too, by offering continuous listening by suggesting related tracks when a song is paused or when it's finished playing.
The company has also enlisted the help of artists to promote the newly unveiled player ranging from The 1970 to Schoolboy Q. After raising $60 million of funding this could be just the beginning for SoundCloud. Check out a snippet of the new track “Gangsta” from Schoolboy Q's upcoming album and see what the new visual player is all about.

[Video] Google Glass Releases The Titanium Collection
[youtube id="eneEmDtSvzI"]
It looks like Google Glass has an eye on the everyday consumer with its newest Titanium Collection that consists of four frames for those with prescription glasses. There are four different styles available: thin, split, bold, and curve in an assortment of colors that should appeal to many people. As you can see by the photos, the glasses still have a futuristic look to them, but makes you look less like a cyborg. Also for those who are lucky and don't need prescription frames, there are also sunglasses available. It'll be interesting to see the evolution of Google Glass and how they go about targeting an audience that might be weary of wearing the current models, but as this collection suggests, Google Glass has taken steps to really hit the mainstream. For now, w'll have to wait and see if people will truly feel the need for a product like Google Glass when it launches to more consumers later in 2014. Just remember, if Glass is a bust, there's always Google Lens.

Redditor cy_sperling wanders the streets of Los Santos in passive mode to document all of the action and chaos within the game. His character sports a getup that consists of a black Media jacket and helmet, oftentimes driving a WEZL News van to pull up to a scene.
It's a pretty interesting idea and use of the platform, so check out a few of the photos that have unfolded on the streets of Los Santos.
