Dodge sucks at Photoshop: the Verizon Droid with AT&T 3G
Ever wish you could get a Verizon-labeled phone running on AT&T, and do it with full bars and a 3G no less? Get yourself one of the Dodge's new and free virtual product manuals, available now for iPhone and soon coming to BlackBerry and Android. They're a continuation of the sort of thing Chrysler announced back at CES, just letting you view information about your vehicle and maybe some aftermarket parts too. They're available now for the Durango and Charger, with coverage for the Avenger, Journey, and Grand Caravan coming before the end of the month. Full details about the apps in the PR below, but sadly no information on exactly where we should stick the SIM card in our Droid. [Thanks, Joe]
Engadget's Photoshops: a retrospective
Sometimes a story has everything you need: intrigue, romance, drama, and a bit of tech news mixed in for good measure. Sometimes, though, a post needs a bit more -- something visual to catch the eye or tie it all together. When that's the case we turn to our favorite image editors and get to chopping, slicing and dicing corporate logos, adding a little spin, and maybe throwing Russell Crowe in for good measure. Want some highlights? Come on through for a look.
Lost Planet Photochop contest: the best of the rest
After the dust cleared from our little Lost Planet photochop contest, we had over 500 total entries. 500! That's just amazing. Joystiq readers ... that's impressive. We decided that after looking through the entries again, we just had to share them with you. A lot of work went into these things, and it'd be a shame if they didn't see the light of day.We've culled together 154 of the best entries, and are rolling them out in one of Joystiq's brand new features -- galleries! Click here to zap yourself right into the middle of the Lost Planet gallery, and check out full-size versions of the entries. We'll be bringing you a lot more galleries and images in the future, so stay tuned.%Gallery-1426%
Joyswag Photochop: Lost Planet, found entries - Day Five
Hats off to everyone who contributed to the Lost Planet photochop contest, in a huge way. We had over 450 total entries for this contest, and there were so many good ones that it was hard to pick just two winners each day. You guys went well above and beyond the call of duty here, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Once we get everything sorted out behind the magic curtain, we'll show you the highlights from the entires that didn't make it to the final ten.On that note, today's first winning entry is from Michael, who drew his inspiration from the comments on the contest. It's easy for us to feel like his winning entry, with Joystiq's little truck being surrounded by angry commenters, rocked from side to side, only ten copies of something to give away, unhelpful phone calls from Otis ... *shudder* it's almost therapy time again.Check out the second winner from today after the jump, and check back soon for the other entries. Everyone that submitted an entry in this contest deserves a prize, that's how good they all were. That is to say, those of you that didn't win actually prizes will win our gratitude, which is worth so much more than a video game, right? Seriously, we received so many entries that were top-notch. A few were a bit NSFW, but your heart was in the right place. A big thank you from Joystiq to all of you.
Joyswag Photochop: Lost Planet, found entries - Day Four
Only one day left in the Lost Planet contest, so burn the midnight oil tonight and send us your last ditch efforts. Pull out all the stops, burn through a graphics card or two, and give us your best shot. We triple-dog dare you. Today's first winning entry comes from, er ... Untitled. Did your parents really dislike you or were you a clone who escaped? Very simplistic design, but well-done and very zen. Meditate a bit while you stare at it and chant your favorite mantra. It brings Marble Madness to mind, and also looks like a sweet game to be played with a Wiimote.Check out winner number two after the jump, and remind yourself one more time about all the contest details. That is, if they aren't already burned into your brain by this point. If you haven't entered yet, give it a go. If you've been trying and haven't won, keep it going. We've only got ten copies of the game to give out, and a lot of entries, but you never know what'll happen.
Joyswag Photochop: Lost Planet, found entries - Day Three
It was hard to tear ourselves away from watching video repeats of Steve Jobs' Apple keynote that took place this morning, but we managed to do it so we could judge the Lost Planet entries that keep pouring in. We're going to eventually have to put up a gallery of these, because we have a lot more than ten awesome entries. Thanks so much for giving us such great stuff to look at and choose from. Hopefully some of you are pursuing careers in graphic design with those mad skillz.Our first winning entry comes to us straight out of the annals of history, bringing you an extremely retro gaming dosage of John Milton. This has to be the most highbrow entry we've received yet, and that's including the large number of Lost Pants entries we're getting (some of which have been great). Nice work Shaun, you've both impressed and shamed us at the same time, since we read the Cliff's Notes version of this in high school.Check out the second winner after the jump, and refresh your memory on all the contest details. Keep 'em coming, because we're loving everything you've been sending.
Joyswag Photochop: Lost Planet, found entries - Day Two
Proving that Joystiq readers are the best readers out there, we're continuing to get tons of great entries for our Lost Planet Photochop contest. We had over 100 come in since we announced yesterday's winners, and we've selected two for today. We went a bit artsy for these, both of which feature unique takes on Capcom's game cover.The Lost Relativity entry comes from Au (that dude is golden ... get it? Please, someone slap us) and has the added bonus of making us lose all sense of balance and equilibrium if we stare at it long enough. Shouldn't any real game have that ability? Nice work, Goldfinger.Check out the second winner after the jump, and find out all about the contest if you don't know already. If you've entered and haven't won yet, keep it up. We're really impressed by what everyone has been submitting, and picking two winners each night ain't easy.
Joyswag Photochop: Lost Planet, found entries - Day One
Joystiqers, our hats are off to you. You have been heeding the call in spades. It's only the first day of the Lost Planet Photochop contest, and already we've had a ton of terrific entries. For those of you who haven't entered yet, these should get your creative juices flowing. Check out today's two winners: the first one is from Manu and features the oh so lovely Kate from Lost gracing the cover. We've received a ton of Lost TV show entries, but this one takes the cake so far. Keep 'em coming though, and have a look at the second winner and a recap of the contest details after the jump.
Joyswag Photochop: Win Capcom's Lost Planet
If you can't make the bash, but still want to get your blindly groping mitts on Lost Planet, we've got another solution. We'll be giving away ten copies of the icy-cold third-person shooter in exchange for your masterful photochopping. Take the above box cover and transmogrify it into something entirely different: a game box for something else "lost" (see the entries in our Lost Planet party giveaway for inspiration ... or don't. Be creative.)Send your submissions in .jpg format to joyswag [dot] submissions [at] gmail [dot] com. We'll select two winners each day over the next week leading up to the retail release of the game on the 12th. If your submission wasn't chosen, submit another for future consideration. Good luck!
Steve Jobs movie poster contest inspires Photoshop artists
Steve Rubel tipped me off to this Photoshop contest/iPod giveaway that was held over at Mike Davidson's blog. The contest appears to be over now but the images that Mike's readers spawned are destined to live on. The theme of the "Mike Industries iPod Creativity Competition of 2005" was to design a movie poster featuring Steve Jobs... "Just feature the man we all know and love in a cinematic role, keep your image exactly 418 pixels wide, and insert your entry inline in the comments of this post." At first glance, it looks like there were more than 200 entries! Some of my favorite entries include Kill Bill, The iLife Aquatic and JAWBS. Check out the associated pictures after the jump...
