Naked Cowboy Hopes to Rope Your Cell Phone

Hmm, is this disturbing or is just me? If you’ve set foot in Times Square in recent years, you’ve probably noticed the underwear clad urban cowboy known as the “Naked Cowboy” wandering around entertaining folks with songs and picture taking ops. If you haven’t gotten enough of him through that, be happy than that mobile entertainment provider Flycell is bringing him to your cell phone.

That’s right – FlyCell has teamed with the Naked Cowboy. He will be featured in mobile wallpaper and in ringtones that include parts of his songs, according to a FlyCell press release. The company and the cowboy will share in the monies of those (insert your favorite adjective hear) persons who choose to load the content to their phones.

Apple’s latest iPhone SE can be yours for $149 today

Alongside the many Prime Day deals that Amazon has been running, Walmart has also offered its own sale in the form of Walmart+ Week. One of the best deals there is on the third-generation iPhone SE for just $149. It's a huge saving of $230 compared to the original price of $379 although there is a catch -- the phone is locked to a Straight Talk prepaid subscription. Still, if that isn't an issue for you, this is a super sweet deal. You're going to need to be fast though as with Prime Day running to a close in a matter of hours, it's also likely that deals like these will end soon too. Here's what to expect from it.

Why you should buy the third-generation Apple iPhone SE
The third-generation Apple iPhone SE, which was released in March 2022, is powered by Apple's A15 Bionic chip -- the same one that you'll find in the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 14. That means the Apple iPhone SE 2022 is pretty powerful for its price, with snappy performance when you launch even the most demanding apps and when you're multitasking between them. The device is also equipped with a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, which may be small compared to the screens of other modern smartphones, but it makes up for the lack of size with excellent color accuracy and overall high quality.

How to turn a Live Photo into a video on your iPhone
Live Photo to video with hand holding iPhone.

Live Photos is a fun feature Apple brought to the iPhone 6s many years ago, turning static photos into three-second clips by capturing what happens in the 1.5-second interval before and after you tap the shutter button. This feature has been a staple of every iPhone model since then, and even if you're new to the iPhone, you've likely already used it already since it's turned on by default — you have to take specific steps to disable it if you want to go back to taking normal snapshots.

There aren't any significant downsides to leaving Live Photos enabled. You can share them as a normal, static photo just like other image, and while they will take up a bit more space on your iPhone, that's not as significant as it once was, thanks to Apple's switch to the more efficient HEIC format in 2017. While Live Photos could once grow nearly twice as large as the same static JPEG, today you'll more typically see only a 25% difference, on average.

Even though Apple finally added support for home screen widgets a few years ago, it wasn't until iOS 16 that these finally made it onto your lock screen, allowing you to quickly see everything from the weather to your to-do list, upcoming appointments, and more at a glance — all without unlocking your iPhone.
