iPro Lens System

What it is One of the many-stated goals on the multipurpose smartphone's manifesto is to obliterate the need for all other devices - the digital camera chief among them. Many (like the iPhone) are almost there, and lens attachments like the iPro Lens are helping them realise this goal.

How it looks The iPro Lens System comes with a wide-angle and fish-eye lens. Each is designed to conveniently screw into the tripod mount when not in use. The mount and lenses then attach to a specially designed iPhone case.

Easy Macro Cell Lens Band

What it is The Easy Macro Cell Lens Band is a super-simple solution to smartphone lens attachments, wrapping itself around your smartphone (not just iPhones) and making sure your camera is ready for close-ups.

How it looks If you had to design a way to keep a lens attachment secured to your phone, what would you do? Well, that's what this does - the lens is held in place with a simple rubber band.

Who's it for The Easy Macro Cell Lens Band is a quick, casual and creative solution for smartphone users who want to take interesting close-up photos for use with Facebook, Instagram or the like. They're a bit flimsy, though, so you might want to buy several in case the first one wears out.

Pharaoh's curse

British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened.
He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”.
Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.
