Twitter iOS app integrates Periscope-based live video, Instagram adds bookmarking support: "Though Twitter previously supported live video, until today tapping on a button simply redirected people to the separate Periscope app. Now users can tap a "live" icon when composing a tweet and broadcasting will start from within Twitter, complete with normal Periscope features like hearts and comments, and links on Twitter timelines."/p>

Casio’s new 1.9-megapixel camera is designed to be used in the dark - The Verge
