GifBoom Update Adds Voice and Music to Your GIFs

for AppAdvice 2013-04-28 21:30:32 UTC

The jury may still be out on whether GIF is pronounced with a hard G or a soft G. But here's one thing that's certain: the popular GIF-sharing app GifBoom has just gotten its biggest update yet.

What exactly makes this update the biggest yet for GifBoom? For starters, you can now add voice and music backgrounds to your GIFs. A new step in the GIF-posting process has been added, and this lets you choose between recording your voice or selecting some music to attach to your GIF. If you choose to do the former, you just have to press and hold a button to record your voice and let others hear what you have to say. And if you choose to do the latter, you just need to tap a different button to search GifBoom's database of popular song snippets and select one to go with your GIF.

What's more, GIFs and audio can also be sent together in private messages.

Another notable addition in the new version of GifBoom is the ability to make GIF collages. Just select Collage in the app's new post menu to start combining your GIFs, photos and texts within any of the provided collage frames.

Speaking of the app's new post menu, it looks a lot like the Tumblr iOS app's post menu. In fact, the overall interface of GifBoom looks a lot like Instagram's. And this is just unfortunate, in my view. I like that GifBoom has a familiar interface that's easy to use for even the newest of users. But I don't like that it's way too familiar.

The latest update to GifBoom also brings optimizations for text GIFs and introduces a new set of algorithms that enables you to discover interesting users and newcomers.

Optimized for iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 5.0 or later, the newly updated GifBoom is available in the App Store for free.

MTV Is Bringing 'Scream' to TV

Brian Anthony Hernandez2013-04-28 18:01:53 UTC

MTV is turning Scream, Wes Craven's 16-year-old slasher film franchise, into a TV series for the Millennial Generation, the network revealed this week during its star-studded upfront presentation to announce new programming to advertisers.

MTV has greenlit a one-hour pilot of Scream with Dimension Films, the production company behind the popular 1996 original and its three sequels featuring the "Ghostface" killer. Dimension is in talks to get Craven to direct the reboot, which is scheduled to debut in summer 2014. Although the cast and writers have yet to be finalized, MTV says DiGa Vision has been tapped to produce the potential series.

Among MTV's other new shows in the works is The Hook Up, a dating show where contestants will choose suitors based on people's social media history. Andrew Schulz from MTV2's Guy Code will host the show, which is described as such:

"With the help of their closest friends, the contestants will try to separate the contenders from the pretenders to see if what you see [on social media] is really what you get."

During the upfront presentation at Beacon Theatre in New York City, MTV also announced two other upcoming shows. Generation Cryo is a "docudrama" about test-tube babies who are now "test-tube adults" on the hunt to discover their sperm donors. Nurse Nation is a documentary that will follow nine travel nurses and their "work hard, play hard lifestyles" for 13 weeks.

Fifteen current shows will return, including Snooki & JWOWW, MTV also said.

If you have a dog, you already know how entertaining it is to watch him sleep. With soft growls and frantically running paws, Rufus is adorable as he frolics through dreamland.

But in this comic, Josh Mecouch of Formal Sweatpants shows us what Rufus is really dreaming about — and it isn't pretty. You'll never look at your sleeping pup the same way again.

This Week's Greatest Moments in 30 Photos

Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai2013-04-29 01:30:46 UTC

This past week was filled with all types of memorable events around the world. As usual, we bring you the best ones, captured in photos. From demonstrations and protests to a robot sports competition, there really was a little bit of everything.

For the former, a large anti-government protest took place in Madrid, Spain. There was also an anti-same-sex marriage demonstration in France, as well as an anti-gun protest in Washington D.C., following the White House's failed attempt to push new gun-control laws through the Senate.

It was also a big week for Australia and New Zealand, which celebrated the Australia New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) Day; it commemorates the time when the two countries' First World War forces landed on the Gallipoli Peninsula. The day pays tribute to the Australians and New Zealanders who fought and died in all wars.

These and other significant moments can be seen, below. Which is your favorite? Did we miss any? Let us know in the comments.
