Don’t be a square!

In the five years that Instagram has existed, it has changed the way that people take photos. It’s the fastest growing app in the world, and a favorite among social-media enthusiasts. However, the app created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger had always favored square-shaped photos.

Well as of today, that is no longer the case. The popular photo-sharing app has announced that it will have native support for landscape and portrait photos.

That’s right, all you photographers out there. No longer will you have to crop, compress, and cut up your photos just to share it online. Instagram now allows you to share those pictures in all of their landscape/portrait splendor.

Those who prefer to crop their images still have that option, but those who want to use landscape or portrait photos now have that option, making the app much more flexible for their photography loving fans. As well, those who use Instagram to capture media can still only do so in the square format, so if you want to get some of that landscape/portrait action into your feed, you’ll have to take those photos elsewhere.

Are you folks excited to start putting some landscape and portrait style photos up on the ol’ Instagram? Share your thoughts below!

When you think of adidas and it’s history, the first shoe that may pop-up is the Originals Superstar. Known as a lifestyle shoe, adidas Skateboarding will launch the adidas Superstar ADV which is updated with performance enhancements specifically for skating.

While maintaining most of its outer aesthetic, the all new Superstar ADV was completely re-engineered for skateboarding. A closer look of the Superstar ADV reveals major performance upgrades beginning with a significant reduction of weight and bulk throughout the shoe’s leather upper. adidas also streamlined the traditional three stripes to lie flush along the shoe’s lateral and medial panels.

The Superstar ADV also features a combined sockliner and midsole into one ADIPRENE® drop-in piece for targeted impact protection in the heel and true board feel in the toe. The iconic rubber ShellToe protects and provides superior abrasion resistance, while the Vector Traction outsole lends durable grip for exceptional board control.

The adidas Superstar ADV Skate is now available at adidas.com and other select adidas Skateboarding retailers. More colorways will debut starting November 1st, 2015. Retail price is $80.

When it comes to experiencing Android the way Google intended, you have surprisingly few options. Two, really. Google’s own Nexus smartphone—made by a parade of different hardware partners—and Motorola. The new Moto X Pure Edition is the new unspoiled Android champion. It can do Android even better than Google.

You probably spent weeks trying to find the perfect furniture for your living room, so why just put any old ping pong table in your rec room? If you’ve got the room (and the money to hire movers) this table, including the net, is made from salvaged rails and lumber that one supported real trains.

Think you know your logos? Australian designer Nick Barclay has started a new series of posters that redesigns globally known logos with as much detail as possible removed, only maintaining the bare shape and colors from the original brands' design. Barclay explains his motivation for the series; "I wanted to see if logos are so ingrained in our psyche that I could break them down and simplify them and people would still know what they are just from the colours and shapes." Check out his work above, and leave your comments below on how many you know off the top of your head.

After months of speculation, testing, and fretting over egg shortages, the day is finally here: McDonald’s franchisees have cast their votes, and all-day breakfast is going nationwide. Maybe they’ll use up those margarine stashes more quickly than anticipated. The menu varies slightly according to whether the restaurant is in a “biscuit market” or a standard breakfast market, but the important part is that it’s breakfast. All day.

“This is the consumers’ idea. This is what they want us to do,” the president of McDonald’s USA told the Wall Street Journal, forgetting that not everything that consumers want is necessarily good for us. Franchisees actually led the charge for the menu change, which is a brilliant plan since it makes more items available without adding any different ingredients or equipment to the restaurant. No wonder franchisees, who have complained that the McDonald’s menu is too expansive, think it’s a great idea.

All-day breakfast has been successful in test markets, and is a much-anticipated change. It’s also the biggest change to the menu since the McCafé concept came out six years ago.

McDonald’s is on its social media game today, searching way back in Twitter and answering people who posted about all-day breakfast in the past. Whether it was to praise a test market or whine about how McMuffins disappear at 10:30, the McDonald’s social media team wanted to share the good news. The notes are posted so that everyone who follows McDonald’s can see them, and they include really excellent animated GIFs.

They found tweets dating back to 2007.

Not that responding to more recent ones wasn’t cool too.

Of course, it’s smart to engage with celebrities when launching a big social media campaign, and celebrities tweet about fast-food breakfast too:

And TV shows.

This photo didn’t have a little word balloon added. But if it did, we wouldn’t have been able to print it, anyway. Cats + Sombreros = usually a bad idea. “Here is an entrancing picture of Buttersworth,” says Beth M. of Rose City Veterinary Hospital in Portland. “He was rescued off the streets of Portland as a young kitten. After a couple months with me in foster care he was ready to find a permanent home and today is his big day!! He is moving in with his new human and he even gets a kitty sister to play with! Buttersworth would love to be featured on C.O. to inspire all the kitties out there looking for furever homes.”

If you’re a smoker looking for a “healthier” cigarette you may have turned to American Spirits in recent years.
