Today's Story Highlights
Lytro's New Shoot Now, Focus Later Camera Targets Prosumers
The folks who introduced the masses to ex post facto focusing upped their game Tuesday with the introduction of a new camera aimed at
shooters who take their photography seriously. The Illum, by Lytro,
contains an updated version of the company's innovative Light Field
engine, which allows the focus in a photo to be manipulated after it's
shot.

Stealthy Assassin Series Hitman GO Makes a Luscious Board Game
I can safely say that I never would have imagined turning the Hitman video game series into a luscious dioramic board game for iOS. Lucky for
us, that's what Square Enix did with last week's Hitman GO release.
Apple featured the game in the App Store, and for good reason: The
graphical representation of the boards you play on is a visual feast.

Founder of Russian Social Media Says He Got the Boot
Pavel Durov, the founder of Russia's most popular social network site, claims he has been ousted by allies of President Vladimir Putin -- who
went ahead and took over the site while they were at it. Durov, who ran
the mega-popular VKontakte, had reportedly run afoul of the Russian
government for refusing to heed requests to censor posts on the site.

Apple Shoots for 'Better'
In honor of this year's Earth Day, celebrated Tuesday, Apple is showcasing its efforts to lessen its carbon footprint and become more
environmentally sustainable as part of its 'Better' Campaign. The
company released new promotional material, including a video narrated by
Tim Cook, that outlines its commitment to increasing energy efficiency
in an effort to reduce its impact on climate change.
