Tim Cook Soundly Rejects Politics of the NCPPR, Suggests Group Sell Apple’s Stock, article.
Apple's CEO: "If you want me to do things only for ROI reasons, you should get out of this stock."
Go Cook! I doubt many CEOs would have the balls to tell their stock owners that they refuse to do only things that are profitable.

Pro HDR app for iPhone
The newer iPhones have HDR (High Dynamic Range) option built into their camera, which is great, for reducing too-high contrast.
Good uses are when you want both the landscape and the sky exposed right, in the same shot. Or you want both the interior and what you see out the window to be exposed right.
But I didn't realize how limited it was until I bought, 2 bucks, and tried Pro HDR.
I only tried it once yet, but I'm impressed.
(One little downside is that one has to be careful to hold the camera still between the two exposures, which are not instant unlike with the Apple camera app.)
Apple camera app without HDR:

Pro HDR app:
What a dif!
*It is odd that the Apple version with HDR has darker shadows. It seems the app prioritises the highlights so much it may sometimes make the shadows slightly darker. Though I haven't seen it before.
