Siri may be the only reason worth upgrading to an iPhone 4S, but it’s also something of a gamechanger that, once used, leaves a lasting impression. The voice-activated personal assistant is one of those features that will inevitably become a part of all smartphones (whether Siri or a clone). What we want to know is how you, the average iPhone 4S owner, uses Siri.

This Week’s Question…

As An iPhone 4S Owner, What Do You Use Siri For?

We recently saw, via an infographic, how many iPhone 4S owners use Siri on a monthly basis, a handful of the most common uses of Siri, and some other data points related to the feature. But MakeUseOf readers know better, and we want you to detail what you use Siri to accomplish on your iPhone 4S. If you have an iPhone 4S, obviously. Everybody else can tell us how, if in possession of a Siri-enabled device, they would use it.

Do you (or would you) use Siri for just the basic, banal tasks such as making phone calls, sending texts, and searching the Web? Alternatively, do you (or would you) trust Siri to run your whole life? Much as a human personal assistant would, if you’re rich or powerful enough to employ one. Your responses will not only enlighten and entertain us all, they could spark ideas in others for ingenious uses of Siri.

We Ask You… All comments will be digested to form conclusions in a follow-up post next week where we will detail what You Told Us. One reader will be chosen as having made the coveted ‘Comment Of The Week’, having their name put up in lights for all to marvel at and to coo over. What more motivation than that do you need to respond?

‘We Ask You‘ is a weekly column dedicated to finding out the opinions of MakeUseOf readers. We ask you a question and you tell us what you think. The question is open-ended and is usually open to debate. Some questions will be purely opinion-based, while others will see you sharing tips and advice, or advocating tools and apps for your fellow MakeUseOf Readers. This column is nothing without you, as MakeUseOf is nothing without you.

Nothing says “professional” like a smooth and steady shot, which is by far the iPhone’s greatest weakness when it comes to capturing decent footage. Luckily the smartphone’s popularity has spawned a vast number of accessories and DIY solutions designed to improve video performance.

So if you’re looking for a way to steady your shots with money or sweat, read on.

Tripod Mount

Buy: The Glif ($20)

One of the most basic and necessary accessories a would-be videographer can buy, the Glif is a simple tripod mount and (very) basic stand for your device. It’s small, rubberized and for $20 you can secure your iPhone to any tripod or tripod mount, opening up a world of possibilities.

Mounting your iPhone on a tripod will allow you to capture steady, well-composed shots with no hand shake. A tripod adapter will also allow you to play nice with a few other accessories that require it.

Make: iPhone DIY Tripod Mount

For every paid accessory there’s a DIY hack, and there’s no shortage of tripod mount tutorials either. The video featured below is one of the easiest and cheapest DIY mounts I’ve personally seen, costing around $3.00 in total for parts and 10 minutes to make.

You can check out plenty more solutions on Instructables.

Steady Your Shots

Buy: Steadicam Smoothee (around $200)

Steadicam is an industry leader who design and manufacture thousand-dollar solutions for professional videographers to shoot silky smooth video. Not only are Steadicam systems like the Merlin and Phantom eye-wateringly expensive but you’ll also need adequate training to use one.

Enter the Steadicam Smoothee, a hand-held Steadicam system designed for use with the iPhone. It too requires some practice to use correctly, but its simplistic pivot-design won’t take too long to get your head around. The Smoothee is one of the finest products of its kind on the market, and this is reflected in the $200 price tag.

Buy: MoveeGo SteadeeGo ($70)

Not available for purchase just yet but a promising Kickstarter project that proved its worth, the SteadeeGo is an affordable alternative to the Steadicam system above. Using the same design and general approach, the SteadeeGo provides smooth iPhone video for $70.

Be sure to watch the project video above, and dont forget to check the Kickstarter page and MoveeGo website for availability.

Make: DIY iPhone/Smartphone/Compact Steadicam ($10-$30)

There are a lot of DIY digital SLR stabilizer tutorials on the web, and that’s because they’re heavier and easier to counterbalance. For an iPhone you’re going to need to use lighter materials or build an SLR rig and attach ample weighting to your iPhone.

Below is one of the original DIY solutions for stable iPhone video. It’s also one of the more technical designs, and should cost around $30 to make. If you’re serious about steady shots, saving money and making your kit then this the perfect weekend project that works like a charm.

Smooth Slides

Buy: MoveeGo SlideeGo

From the same Kickstarter project as the SteadeeGo above, the SlideeGo is a compact and affordable slider for slow, gliding shots. This is designed specifically for the iPhone and other small cameras like the GoPro Hero.

At $80 it’s only $10 more than its sister project, the SteadeeGo and for what it is it works well. The project recently received enough Kickstarter funding to start production, so expect to see this for sale in the next few months.

Make: Slip and Slide – The iPhone Slider (about $30)

If you’re particularly good with your hands then the Slip and Slide is your practical, DIY answer to an expensive slider system. Using sliding drawer fittings, bearings and patience you too can craft your own slider on the cheap.

The results (in the short, festive video above) speak for themselves, so if you’re after a cheap and effective slider check out the tutorial below.

A Mobile Rig

Buy: OWLE Bubo (starting around $150)

The OWLE Bubo is mobile, solid aluminum home for handheld shooters that need steady footage and room for accessories. The grip features four tripod mounts, a cold-shoe adapter (for lights and microphones) and its own in-built directional mic.

It also comes with a 37mm threaded wide lens which can be removed or swapped out for compatible lenses. While it’s not going to provide the smooth action of the Steadicam or MoveeGo, the Bubo has other uses when it comes to photojournalism, one-on-one interviews and movie production.

Conclusion

This is just a small taste of the incredible number of video enhancements out there for your iPhone. Next week we’ll take a look at improving the iPhone’s rather dismal sound quality with accessories so your videos sound as good as they look.

Have you used any of these tools? Built any of your own? Any others you’d recommend we check out? Have your say in the comments, below.

MakeUseOf writers live all over the world. Every week, three of these writers virtually get together to talk about the latest technology news and what they’ve been up to. We have a lot of fun doing this, because we usually don’t get a chance to talk to each other out loud. We record our conversations and share them with the world – the result is Technophilia. It’s not officially part of MakeUseOf, but it’s an entertaining way to keep up with technology news.

This week, Justin wants to know Do you value actual experiences? Or do you sometimes do things just for the sake of sharing them? Talk to us on Twitter or Facebook. James literally wrote the book on WordPress, and is always looking for the best plugins and services. When it comes to recommended posts, James thinks he’s found the best one: nRelate. Check it out if you run a blog. Dave hardly ever played Diablo 1 or 2, but is greatly enjoying Diablo 3. Find out why.

And, as always, the headlines.

• An Iranian leader published a fatwa against anti-censorship tools such as VPNs and proxies and was promptly censored by the Iranian intelligent filtering technology. Irony.
• If you’re seeing ads on Wikipedia, you’ve got a virus.
• Bored guy invents a street painting machine that paints people’s tweets onto the sidewalk. Send your own worthless messages to #onestreettweet now! James doesn’t know how Twitter works.
• Californian judge rules that IP does not identify location, which could set a precedent for future cases. James doesn’t know how law works.
• Russia 2045 is a plan for the singularity, but is the singularity really something you can plan for?
• Facebook had an IPO, and the media barely covered it. On the first day, Facebook’s stock stayed stable. On the second day, it went down 10%. By the time you listen to this it will probably be doing something different. Whatever.
• James thinks TED censored a talk. Justin thinks the talk simply wasn’t good enough to make the TED website. Watch this and let us know what you think:

• We’ll read a few of Mark Zuckerbergs IMs from college. Spoiler – he didn’t care about people’s privacy, and he’s kind of hilarious.
• Microsoft is going to charge $99 to remove crapware from people’s computer, completing the circle of crap.

And now: the gaming news!

• Diablo 3 accounts hacked already, meaning virtual thieves are stealing virtual items. The in-game auction means they might make real money.
• A possible revision to the WiiU controller leaked on Twitter. Everyone hates it.
• Capcom responded to on disc DLC claims with a bunch of corporatespeak nonsense.

Speaking of nonsense: Some jerk stole our content, but reworded it. The results are hilarious.

This kind of popularity sure calls for a way to use Instagram on the web, but an official way to do this still doesn’t exist. The lack of official solution brought about an abundance of unofficial means to view and use Instagram on the web. Here is a list of the best ones currently available.

Note that in order to use these websites, you’d need to sign in with your Instagram credentials and grant the website access to your information. In order to revoke this access, you can always visit instagram.com and click on Your Account –> Manage Applications.

Webbygram

Webbygram was originally created as an effort to persuade Instagram’s founders to create a web version of the app. Webbygram’s interface is very simple, and without bells and whistles it provides all the basic functionality of the Instagram mobile app. After you sign in with your Instagram credentials, you can browse your own photos, your friends’ photos, and popular photos.

The photos browser scrolls downward, with only one image visible at any given time. You can mouse over a photo to see its caption and the like button, or click through to the photo’s page to comment or share through Twitter, Facebook or Pinterest.

When you sign into Webbygram, you get your own Webbygray URL (webbygram.com/username) which you can easily share with anyone who wished to see your Instagram photos but does not use Instagram.

Web.stagram

Web.stagram might not be as slick as Webbygram, but it packs more features and functionality. After signing in, you will get to use the menu you can see above. The Feed and Popular tabs are obvious, and you can view them either as a list or a grid, changeable from the top right corner of the screen. List form gives you all possible actions for every photo, while grid is easier to browse through if you just want to look at many photos.

You can also search for users or tags, see only photos you’ve liked, and see hot and trending tags. Web.stagram was a little on the slow side when I tried it, but this was hopefully just a temporary glitch.

ExtraGram

Yet another web viewer from Instagram, this one lets you browse popular photos without even signing in. Once you do, you can view your own feed, interact with other users, share photos and follow new friends.

Here, too, you get an easy to remember URL for your personal feed at extragr.am/username. You can search for photos by username or tag, but the more exciting option is the the Discover tab. Here you can discover new users to follow by categories such as actors, sports, music and food. You can also pick a hot tag from the scrolling list above to start browsing interesting new photos.

There is an Account tab, where you should be able to control some settings, but the button currently doesn’t work. Hopefully that’s being fixed as we speak. Read a full review of ExtraGram here.

Insta-great

Insta-great is a different take on your traditional Instagram web viewer, with horizontal scrolling, and what you might call horizontal browsing. Even without signing in, you can start browsing popular photos. For each photo, you’ll find the date it’s been uploaded and the filter that’s been used on it. You can click these to get only photos using that filter, or photos uploaded on that date. You can also click on a user name to browse all the photos uploaded by that user.

Your searches pile on top of each other, and to go back, you need to click on the title of what you were looking at before which is located above the current title. This might sound a bit complicated on paper, but it will be very obvious once you actually use it. The date search struggled a little bit, and was not always accurate, but the filter search worked very well.

You can also browse your feed, your photos and your likes through Insta-great’s web interface, as well as search for photos.

Pinstagram

Did you really think you’d get away without Pinteresting your Instagram? Pinstagram is a beautiful web app for browsing through Instagram Pinterest style. You can browse your feed, popular images, your own photos and your likes. You can also allow your browser to use your current location, and browse nearby photos.

Hovering over a photo in the grid will reveal three buttons: comment, like and pin. So yes, you can pin images to Pinterest directly from Pinstagram’s interface. Clicking on an image will reveal a full size version of it. Click on a username to load a grid of that user’s photos, where you can also follow that user. You can also connect your account with Facebook and Twitter for easy sharing.

Instagrid.me

Instagrid is a bit different than the other options listed here in that it’s not really an Instagram browser, but more of a way to share Instagram with people who don’t use it. Sign in using your Instagram credentials to create your Instagram grid. You will get an instagrid.me/username URL to share, and people who don’t use Instagram will also be able to subscribe to your feed and get e-mail notifications when you add new photos.

Aside from sharing your own photos, you can create hashtag galleries through the main page, or by using this URL: instagrid.me/tag/YOURTAG. For example, instagrid.me/tag/chocolate will give you a grid all made up of photos that have the #chocolate tag.

You can then share this gallery with your friends on Twitter or Facebook.

Statigram

If you love stats, there are some to be found on Statigram. For every popular service, there is a service (or several) that gives relevant stats. Statigram does just that for Instagram, along with providing the usual Instagram browsing capabilities.

You can browse photos in a grid, a list or a slideshow, and comment, like and share as with other services. That Statistics tab is where it gets more interesting. Here you can get a general overview of your Instagram activity, and bore down into a monthly analysis, content analysis, engagement analysis and more.

You can also create nice infographic-like snapshots of your stats to share with your friends. In the promote tab, you’ll find some tools which you can use to promote your Instagram photos with Statigram, such as an RSS feed URL, a Timeline cover creator and other interesting features.

Bottom Line

All these options are great for using Instagram on the web. If I had to choose just one, I would probably go with Pinstagram, not because of its Pinterest style, but simply because it has the most minimalist design of the lot, while still providing an array of useful features. If you love stats, though, don’t skip on Statigram.

TimeSnapper is slowly becoming one of my favorite new pieces of software for Windows, because it’ll let you know exactly where all of that time went. Putting TimeSnapper to good use means your desktop or laptop will be your own personal spy. As if the rest of the internet doesn’t do that on us enough, already.

Check out TimeSnapper’s official website!

TimeSnapper is a Windows application that sits in your system tray and gradually takes screenshots of your active window so that you can have a running log of exactly what you were doing at any random interval of the day. The software costs $24.95 and is available under a free, 30-day trial license. In this post, we’ll be focusing on their completely free, legacy product: TimeSnapper Classic.

You’ll need to enter your email address to download TimeSnapper Classic, where afterwards a hyperlink to the direct download of the software will be sent. Installation is very simple and painless. After installing the software, you should see the following window:

At this window, simply specify where you’d like your screenshots to be dumped and at what interval you’d like them to be taken. The Pause button you see there is in place of the Start button (as I’m already recording).

Then, in the View menu, click Options…. Here you’ll see the rest of the configuration for the program. It’s all very simple.

You’re able to pick the image type and resolution at which you want your screenshots saved. If you’re taking screenshots at a low interval, I highly recommend using the JPG format. Otherwise, PNG is the best format for screenshots. Changing the resolution will automatically resize your screenshots to a certain percentage, which can also save some disk space.

Here, you’re able to determine what windows are captured with each screenshot. If you use dual monitors, you can even select which screen to capture. I capture only my active window, as it saves disk space and is more true to what I’m working on at the time.

These options make concerns with your disk space less glaring. You’re able to automatically purge images based on their age or the size of your TimeSnapper archive.

When you’ve configured everything to your liking, give it some time and then feel free to check out the playback features. On the main window, you can click Play Movie.

From here, you can play through your archive, frame by frame, or scroll through manually. As you can see, at this particular time, I was doing nothing productive that I’d like to reflect on…

TimeSnapper is quickly becoming my favorite way to track time on my desktop. If you need a less visual way, give ManicTime a look.

Let me know what you all think of the features of TimeSnapper in the comments!

This can be seen with “regular” users who just take their devices and do what they’re supposed to do with them, but it is even more pronounced with hard-core geeks. I am talking about Android users who install custom ROMs and kernels on their devices, and iPhone users who jailbreak their devices and use Cydia to install all sorts of goodies.

So let’s take that class of users and ask a difficult question: Which does more – a jailbroken iPhone, or an Android device running a recent, custom build of Ice Cream Sandwich?

What I Use

The most important thing to get out of the way here is what I use personally. I won’t try to claim I am neutral here, nor do I think this story could be written by anyone who is truly “neutral”. So, I have an Android device – a Samsung Galaxy S II, running a custom ROM called Resurrection Remix (Android 4.0.3) and a custom kernel called Siyah kernel. To represent the iOS side of things, I’ve done my research online and asked my fellow MakeUseOf writers, several of whom own jailbroken iOS devices.

Rooting Vs. Jailbreaking Vs. Custom ROMs

There are a few important distinctions to make when it comes to jailbreaking an iOS device versus installing a custom ROM on an Android device. Let’s get our terminology straight here:

Rooting: This is something you do with an Android device, and does not require a special ROM. When you root a device, you are effectively telling Android to treat you like a grown-up. Suddenly, apps you install on your phone can do crazy things like backup and freeze system software, keep your phone from ringing when someone annoying calls, and more.

Jailbreaking: This is the iOS parallel for rooting, more or less. Meaning, you don’t install a separate version of iOS itself, but you use the same iOS you’ve used before, just with special permissions and the options to install more software and plugins via Cydia.

Custom ROM: And here we’re back to Android; a custom ROM is a complete operating system, such as CyanogenMod, which outright replaces the OS that came with your phone. So all of the carrier-specific crapware that came with your phone goes away, replaced by something (hopefully) leaner and cleaner. There is no exact parallel for a custom ROM on iOS: iOS is a closed-source operating system, so nobody can create a “modified” version of it. Android, conversely, is open-source and thus it is easy to create numerous spinoffs, each with its unique qualities.

Jailbreaking and Rooting: An Open Door

When you jailbreak your iOS device or root your Android one, you are effectively opening a door. The device won’t be any different off the bat: On iOS, you will have Cydia and would be able to install some new apps. But there won’t be any other major differences until you start customizing things and really using the power you’ve unleashed. Just like any door you open, both good and bad things might come across to the other side.

Says Aibek Esengulov, MakeUseOf CEO and long-time jailbroken iOS user:

“With the jailbreak you get lots of goodies like Cydia and tons of apps that come with it. I noticed that my phone became considerably slower after a few months of playing around with Cydia apps. Another problem is the actual security of the iOS, I wouldn’t open my Gmail or a banking app on a jailbroken iPhone.”

Since jailbroken apps are so unofficial, they might not all be completely on the up-and-up. The same thing can be said regarding rooting your Android device: Great, it’s rooted, now what? If you just roam around Google Play (or less savory corners of the Internet) installing apps as you find them, you may certainly mess things up. After all, there is a reason your phone is not rooted to begin with.

So, both with jailbreaking and rooting, the real question is what next? i.e – what do you do once you’ve broken down the wall, what apps do you install? And here, nothing will serve except for common sense. Both on Android and on iOS, there are root-level apps that are well-regarded and highly trusted, and you can install those without being too afraid they will mess things up. Still, even after jailbreaking, your iOS device will still be an iOS device – you will not be able to suddenly start using widgets, for example, although there is a tweak for that.

There is one difference between jailbreaking and rooting: Apple is definitely against jailbreaking, and tends to disable well-known jailbreak methods with software updates. For example, iOS 5.1 disabled known jailbreaking methods, and jailbreak users were warned not to install it or they would lose all of their jailbroken customizations. This doesn’t generally happen on Android, especially when you go with a custom ROM.

Custom ROM: The Complete Package

Unlike jailbreaking and rooting, when you install a custom ROM, you really get a package deal. The custom ROM is usually already rooted, and many ROMs come with a numerous apps already bundled in, such as Swype, as well as localizations. This is not always a good thing: If you are an advanced user and know what you want, you may not want your ROM to include a whole bunch of apps you’re not going to use, and will just take up space on your device. So again, here you need to carefully pick and choose what you’re looking for.

The best place to find Android ROMs is XDA Developers, a fantastic forum system for mobile developers and users. For example, this is the forum for the Galaxy S II, and it contains plenty of ROMs for you to choose from. XDA also contains forums for other devices, of course. This is not something you should go about recklessly: It is not like installing an app from Google Play. Flashing a new ROM could theoretically go wrong, but the bigger issue is that new ROMs can be buggy in all sorts of annoying ways and freeze your device just when you need it (speaking from experience). So, it is usually best to really take time and read the discussion threads, and go with a ROM you feel you can trust. And of course, don’t forget to make a backup!

Bottom Line

This is where I blow you away with a sensationalist punchline that will set off furious flame wars in the comments. Or not, actually: There is no clear winner here. As much as I love Android, the selection of apps on Cydia is truly impressive, and it is a mature platform. I would say that for dedicated power users, both options are equally viable, and both require care and attention to what you’re doing (with power comes responsibility, right?).

The only key difference is that Apple is actively trying to fight jailbreaking, while Google doesn’t fight rooting at all. Still, if you’re nerdy enough, you will be able to get your phone to work like you want it to – whether it is an Android or iOS device.

For some musicians, the process of recording yourself is a learning exercise, designed to let you know precisely what you sound like so you can improve your performance. But whatever your reason for recording yourself, it’s good to know a handful of decent techniques for the best free software available – and that software is Audacity.

Get Audacity

Before you start recording, make sure you get the latest version of Audacity. Currently, it’s version 2.0.0 released in March 2012.

Prepare Your Recording Equipment

Before you make an audio recording, make sure you have researched a little about the best methods to record your instruments, including microphone placement and the best microphones to use. You may also wish to upgrade your sound card before you start recording. Finally, check your preferences in Audacity to ensure you are recording with the best quality possible.

Recording Basics

In Audacity, recording voice or another instrument with a microphone is as simple as ensuring the microphone input is correct, pressing record and later pressing stop. This will record a single channel which shows as a wave form and can be edited individually.

Previously recorded backing instrumentation in most file formats can also be imported to Audacity (although you may wish to check the legalities of using them). The imported track will also have its own individual channel within Audacity.

Multi-Track Recording In Audacity

It is possible to record multiple channels at once in Audacity if you have the right gear and software to do so. For most amateurs though, this is just not feasible. Therefore, the simplest way to record multiple tracks is to do so one by one.

Start by importing a previously recorded track (or recording the whole band playing at once) which can be used to keep you all in time. Then record each instrument individually, ensuring the person playing has headphones, so they can hear the original track, but that it is not picked up by the microphones. In Audacity, ensure the “Overdub” selection is checked so that new tracks are generated.

If a section of the recording is not quite right, it can be deleted from the track by highlighting and choosing Remove Audio > Silence Audio or Clip Boundaries > Split New. Don’t delete it or cut it as that will join the sections either side together and make the music out of time. A new track can be recorded to replace that section, starting just before the deleted part by clicking on the timeline bar.

When all the individual channels are recorded you can mute the original scratch recording (but don’t delete it – just in case). Play the rest of the channels together and move them around a tiny bit if there is any lag. Do this by clicking and holding, then moving left and right in the timeline.

Basic Music Production Effects In Audacity

To use sound production effects in Audacity, simply highlight the section of the channel in which you want the effect, then go to the effects menu and apply it. If you’re new to using effects, make back-ups of your Audacity file before applying them so that you can compare the sound and revert easily if need be. Also, duplicate channels or section of channels before applying effects, so that you always have your original sound.

Use the Amplify effect to adjust the volume of a section of a channel. For instance, to make the vocals louder against the instruments. You can also use the Fade In/Out effect to create smooth transitions. Normalizing the sound will make it as loud as possible without distorting it.

Pitch can be changed without affecting the tempo. However, most people would advise using this feature sparingly.

Effects such as Reverb, Phase, Wahwah and filters are best tried and tested by you, as it’s difficult to imagine how it will sound before you try it. Just remember to keep your original channels as you can use them to apply different volume levels to the original and the effect.

Equalization is more difficult to apply as when you click on the line you will see a node which can be pulled in many directions to reduce the bass frequency and increase the high frequencies. What this does is adjust the tone and make the sound clearer, however when it comes to actually applying the effect you will just have to try it and see how it sounds.

Use Panning to move the audio from one speaker to another. You’ll find the Panning slider next to the volume for each channel.

When your sound production is sounding complete, you can add a final compression effect to your music in order to lessen the volume difference in your music.

Using Extensions

Audacity has many available plug-ins to achieve specific effects, like reverb and auto-tuning. To install plug-ins or work with other tools, install the Audacity VST Enabler first.

Saving Your Music

When saving, you save the Audacity file itself, with all of the multiple channels represented for tweaking later. If you want to give the music to someone else or to upload it, you’ll need to export the Audacity file as another format, such as MP3.
