Instagram has long been a staple in social media. While it may not be the largest, nor the most widely used, many people are slowly beginning to make the change over. It’s easy to see why though, as Instagram has done a great job in trying to stay current and offering new features. Back in December of last year, they introduced some new filters and features as part of their creative tool update. Today, they are adding two new tools: Color and Fade
The Color tool allows you to tint the highlights or shadows in your photos. The color choices are yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, blue, cyan or green, which are more than enough to make any picture you post a memorable one. The other tool that was added is the Fade tool. This allows you soften the colors in a photo to make the picture appear to be more tranquil and mysterious.

JXE Streams: We conquer our fear of ‘Dark Souls 2’ on PS4
It’s been just under two weeks since Bloodborne brutalized me on JXE Streams. After years of building up the gumption to actually tackle one of From Software’s vicious action role-playing games, I finally braved its rank, monster-filled hallways. Know what? I loved it; the tension, the terror and the challenge are intoxicating. Not content to only explore Bloodborne‘s Victorian nightmare, I’ve decided to finally try its swords-and-sorcery predecessor, Dark Souls 2. We streamed Dark Souls 2 when it came out on PC in 2014, but this is the brand new PlayStation 4 version. We’ll play it for the first time live, for your pleasure.
Tune in right here, to Twitch.tv/Joystiq or at the top of Engadget.com/gaming at 3PM ET to check out the first two hours of Dark Souls 2. Have we played it before? Never. Are we going to die a whole hell of a lot for you? You know it.
If you dig the stream, please make sure to follow us on Twitch! That way you’ll know when we go live. If you want to know what we’ll be streaming in the coming weeks, bookmark Engadget.com/gaming to check out our schedule.

Designers Imagine Fanciful Concepts for What an Apple Car Might Look Like [Mac Blog]
Job site Freelancer.com recently hosted a contest that called on designers to imagine what the rumored Apple Car might look like. We don’t have any details on the car that Apple is said to be developing, so the designs submitted to the contest have no basis in reality.
That said, it’s a fun look at how different designers took Apple design aesthetics and applied them to imaginative, futuristic car renderings. The contest had 193 submissions, with the winning vehicle, from Aristomenis Tsirbas, featuring a flat design with smooth curves and sliding doors.
This concept explores a semi-autonomous electric car in the minimalist tradition of Apple design. It features external high resolution LED screens front and back for user selected headlight/taillight designs. This concept explores a semi-autonomous electric car in the minimalist tradition of Apple design. It features external high resolution LED screens front and back for user selected headlight/taillight designs.
Many of the popular entries had similar futuristic designs and explored different car types from traditional sedans and sports cars to vans and trucks. This third-place Volkswagen Bug-style Apple Car from user Maximchernysh features purple accents, a wide frame, no side windows, and a generous number of Apple logos.
While all of the designs are fanciful, some of the renderings look like they came straight from a science fiction novel. This tiny shark-shaped Apple car from DearbornDesign rides low to the ground and has a front panel for entry.
The winning entry, which is the one at the top of the page, received a $1,500 prize from Freelancer.com for getting the most likes during the contest. All of the different car designs people imagined can be seen over at Freelancer.com’s contest site.
We haven’t heard much about the actual Apple Car in recent weeks as media attention is largely focused on the Apple Watch, but work on the car is still ongoing under the codename Project Titan at an unspecified location near Apple’s Cupertino headquarters. We’ve learned little about the car, but we know that it may resemble a minivan and is being worked on by hundreds of employees.

Be careful with Samsung Galaxy S6 edge as iFixit teardown shows repairs will not be easy
With Samsung switching to a glass and metal design for their new flagship devices, and a challenging curved screen thrown into the mix on the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge, iFixit has taken on the challenge of figuring out how these new features may impact the repairability of the Galaxy S6 edge. The results are not pretty with the smartphone only getting a score of 3 out of 10, with 10 being the easiest, on iFixit’s repairability scale. The only saving grace is the modular nature of the components, but getting to them is a challenge.
The Galaxy S6 edge is now a “sealed” unit similar to some other devices on the market. This means the first step to getting access to the inside of the device involves a lot of prying to separate the back cover from the mid-frame. iFixit says the glue is quite strong and the fit of the back cover is very tight, making it a challenge to get any kind of adequate leverage in place, so be prepared to take your time on this step.
Once the back cover is off, users will find they still cannot easily access the battery as they will have to remove the mid-frame and the motherboard to get access to it. Once you dig down to it though, the battery has its own strong glue treatment applied to hold it in place. So once again, do-it-yourself repair attempts will need to come with some patience while the glue strips are slowly pried loose.
Moving to the front of the device, iFixit’s attempts to explore the Galaxy S6 edge reveal that the use of Gorilla Glass 4 may be a big benefit if it keeps screens from cracking. Removing the curved glass could easily result in the display getting damaged by the process.
The Galaxy S6 edge represents a major departure in Samsung’s device design philosophy and incorporates some cutting edge technology like the dual curved edges. These advances appear to come at a cost though if the device needs to be repaired in some manner as it will be a lot tougher to get apart.
