Definitely not as cool as most of the others posted here, but here's one I took with my phone's camera. It's two of my Transformer toys:

Photographer James Barker posted this picture to his Facebook page with this explanation:

This is my favorite Dragoncon 2014 photo. The Make-a-Wish foundation made it possible for 10 year old Dawn, who has a life threatening illness, to meet Patrick Stewart backstage. He was about to speak to a packed room of 2000 people, but they sat down and he really focused on her; they talked for about 15 minutes. As things are winding down and she and her family are getting ready to go, Dawn unexpectedly throws him this huge hug, and you can see the happiness in both their faces. Bravo Sir Patrick!

Massive image of a whole shitload of ships side-view size comparison type Image is 3.8MB big, and 4268X5690 dimensions, and there's probably over 1,000 ships here. Gundam, B5, Star Trek, Star Wars, Farscape, Stargate, Dune, Starcraft, Star Fox, Mass Effect, Warhammer, Wing Commander(!), Robotech, Honorverse, Legend of Heroes, EVE Online, even the various goddamned Toho Kaiju alien vessels! I am unfamiliar with half of the things I listed. Haven't found Battlestar Galactica stuff yet.

"I'm ice Batman!"

Personally, I don't think it will catch on.

Whoa. Congrats Brits!

I also never thought that cameras on phones would be a thing. But it's the icing on the cellphone business. Until internet on a cellphone took off.

I was wondering what other functions could be folded into a phone - they are already phones, and web browsers, and satnavs, and cameras, etc.

I was thinking TV remote controls. All you'd need would be an IR emitter on the phone, and they could have an app that would put controls for your TV/Video/Satellite/Cable on the phone screen. Why have all those remotes lying around the place when one phone could do it all?
