Instagram launches Hyperlapse app for time-lapse videos

The new standalone app hit, which is only available for iOS devices, was designed to let users ditch the tripods and create high-quality time-lapse videos with ease.

Facebook-owned photo-sharing service Instagram on Tuesday launched an application for capturing time-lapse videos using Apple mobile devices.

The Hyperlapse "app" was designed to let people easily make high-quality time-lapse videos even while moving around with a smartphone, according to Instagram.

Hyperlapse videos can be saved on mobile devices and shared on Instagram.

"From documenting your whole commute in seconds or the preparation of your dinner from start to finish to capturing an entire sunset as it unfolds, we're thrilled about the creative possibilities Hyperlapse unlocks," Instagram said in a blog post.

Hyperlapse applications were made available only for mobile devices powered by Apple software.

Market research firm eMarketer said in a report in March that nearly 35 million people in America accessed Instagram at least once each month as of the end of 2013, a jump of more than 30 percent from a year earlier.

And the report said nearly 25 percent of smartphone users in the United States will use Instagram at least once a month by the end of this year — bringing the total user base to more than 40 million.

Instagram in November began displaying ads as Facebook moved to start making money from the smartphone photo sharing service it bought in a billion-dollar deal in early 2012

Oscar Pistorius did not have a mental disorder when he killed his girlfriend, a psychological report said as his murder trial resumed.

This means the Olympic athlete was criminally responsible for his actions when he shot her, the prosecution said.

The defence team argued Mr Pistorius was suffering from an anxiety disorder.

The athlete denies deliberately killing Reeva Steenkamp. He says he shot her accidentally in a state of panic after mistaking her for an intruder.

The prosecution says Mr Pistorius deliberately killed Ms Steenkamp following an argument.

Both prosecution and defence have accepted the results of the psychological report.

Hatima ya Wambula kuto kugombea urasi imefikia mwisho leo alipo tangazwa kuwa atakuwa ni miongoni mwa wangombea wa uraisi simba mwaka huu.
Hii imetokana na kile kilicho daiwa kuwa Wambula sio mwana chama halali wa Simba
  na si kama walivyo dai hapo mwanzo pia wakati wa kifungo chake tangu mwaka 2010 alipo fungiwa kugombea alikuwa akiitumikia simba kwa kufuata kanuni na taratibu za Simba ikiwemo kulipa ada ya uwanacha wa Simba.
