INSTAGRAM HAS LAUNCHED a new standalone app that allows users to capture video and replay it in timelapse.
It’s called Hyperlapse and the Facebook-owned company says it has “built-in stabilisation technology” that mitigates against the problem of holding your phone still while you film.
When you’ve recorded the video it can then be played back at speeds at up to 12 times normal speed.
Hyperlapse has been launched as a separate app to the main product and users do not have to have an Instagram account to use Hyperlapse. It is, however, only available on iOS software.
“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.

Senator who? Make a headline get name recognition. We currently can’t stop under 18′s from drinking ,so let’s get real.
@Daithi Ó Raghallaigh: senator no one.
@Daithi Ó Raghallaigh: she chaired the oireachtas committee on the eight amendment so wouldn’t say shes a complete nobody
@Benny: But she’s still no-one special.
@Daithi Ó Raghallaigh: she was in the news using her position to demand All Ireland tickets to see her beloved Mayo. She was silent when asked what other Mayo matches she attended
@Michael McLoughlin: that was Michelle Mulherin.
@Daithi Ó Raghallaigh: “I highlighted that the Icelandic model has been very successful in reducing problem drinking.” Must be a page 3 model then…
Pure attention seeking nonsense the amount of young people drinking is dropping massively
@richard fennessy: in Spain and Italy the legal age is 16 and yet they have a much healthier attitude to alcohol than we have.
@Henry Porter: Wrong. Spain has more alcoholics per capita than Ireland.
@Henry Porter: True. Having lived in Spain, my experience was that they drink more frequently than us but when we drink, we drink more. That applied to the Spanish and Italians I knew. Bit of a generalisation and of course they’re not immune to getting drunk on a Saturday night but just what I saw. Different attitudes but I think the cost factors in too. More appealing to just have one or two when it’s only costing you a few euro (and when you’re getting a free ‘tapa’ with it!)
@Figo murphy: to be counted as an alcoholic don’t you have to admit you have a problem?
@Henry Porter: yep def just nonsense attitude not age
@Megan Finnegan Ward: Very interesting, perhaps we could discuss further over a few drinks? Not to excess of course
@richard fennessy: Exactly. Young people these days are drinking relatively far less than any generation since the 70′s.
@Tony Donoghue: is this an example of the reasoned debate you referred to? Hypocrisy abound.
@Figo murphy: Having lived in Ireland and currently living in Spain, I don’t know where you’re getting that from, Ireland has a massive problem with alcohol, I knew plenty of alcoholics/people with unhealthy drinking habits, I hardly ever see people off their heads in Barcelona, I never see drunk people in the metro either, here people drink to socialise, in Ireland people drink to get drunk.
@Figo murphy: a huge proportion ate epats from UK, Ireland & Nordic countries from my observation
@Thomas Sheridan: living in Spain myself it’s us foreigners who drink to excess not the locals
People will just drink any time put it up to 20 will make no difference
I think a ban on the sale of alcohol in off licences to under 21s could reduce the level of consumption to that age groups and would make it harder for under 18s to get alcohol. Serve alcohol to 18 to 21 year olds in bar’s only.
@Tom Leddy: so if you’re over 21 you cant get served? That’s mad Ted.
@Tom Leddy: So what you purpose is to make it 21 to drink in your own home and 18 to drink in pubs and clubs.
@andyearley: is that what I said??
@Roy Dowling: It may sound mad but making it more difficult for teenagers to get alcohol is what we must target. 21 year olds won’t buy alcohol for 16 year olds, 18 or 19 year olds will.
@Tom Leddy:
yes.
“Serve alcohol to 18 to 21 year olds in bars only”
Just read it back slowly to yourself. Ted.
@Tom Leddy: we used to get people to buy our drink for us when we were under age, where there s a will there’s a way.
I said a lot more than that. Raising the age limit to 20 is one part of the model that I don’t agree with. This shouldn’t be the focus of your story to be fair.
@Catherine Noone: where do u stand on the cost of insurance to the under 20s,
@Michael Mulcahy: obviously I would like it to be much more affordable.
@Catherine Noone: Well, let’s have it then, what did you say? What did you mean? You have an opportunity to get it out now but instead you’re just shooting the messenger.
@Catherine Noone: Distancing yourself from your own statements. That must be a first….
@Catherine Noone: Lamb to the slaughter
@Catherine Noone: when will you and your Fine Gael cronies get it through your thick skulls that you cannot fix things by banning them
@Dave O’Keeffe: To be fair, I think she’s as entitled to comment as anyone else.
@Catherine Noone: not really a good answer I’m a parent who struggled to pay insurance when I was in my 20s, 30 years later absolutely nothing has changed were beginning to be a two tier state for those who can and those that cannot
@Fachtna Roe: Exactly. Especially if she feels she’s been misquoted or taken out of context.
@Catherine Noone:
You’re a woman 4 whom I have a great deal of respect. However, I have 2 say I disagree with ur proposal.
Its long past time 4 ur Govt 2 start treating people with a bit more respect including young people. Instead of always coming up with ways 2 exclude them from social activities cud some1 not come up with ways 2 include them? Wat r young people supposed 2 do with their spare time? Sit up in their bedrooms on their computers?
Also I agree with dos who say increasing the age limit won’t make 1 bit of difference.
Additionally, does it not seem a bit daft, 2 say the least, dat young people can marry at 16, vote at 18, and according 2 your proposal, drink at 20 and smoke at 23? It shud b 1 age across the board. Preferably 18 4 everything.
@Catherine Noone: is a good and decent person. Nor is she “thick” She does not deserve to be disrespected in the way she is being disrespected here. It makes me wonder the level of some peoples emotional intelligence if they can’t grasp the concept that you can and should be able to disagree with someone without being nasty to or about them.
@Catherine Noone: Have you never read the journal before. You made a statement where you mentioned that the drinking age in Iceland was increased to 20. They’ve decided to run a poll they no will be controversial in order to get people to click in to it so they get their advertising revenue, its called click bait. If you look closely you’ll note they never stated that you suggested raising the legal age to 20 or if you were for or against it.
@Fachtna Roe: where did I say she wasn’t entitled to comment? I criticised her for not giving the context she claimed was missing from an article about something she said. At no point did I say she shouldn’t have commented. She could have provided the full content of what she said for all to see but she didn’t. Why might that be?
@Damien Hawe: which is why I asked her for the full quote and context. Strange that you and Fachtna seem to think me asking her what she actually said is me telling her she shouldn’t be commenting
@Fachtna Roe: she’ll have enjoyed your “no-one special” comment
@Catherine Noone: Can we adopt the Icelandic Model for dealing with failed and liar politicans and corrupt bankers ?
Also in Iceland can a person who failed to get elected be then apointed to a position by their leader ?
@Tony Donoghue: True at more than one level. :)
@Dave O’Keeffe: The Icelandic model promotes natural highs (sport, dance, art) to steer young people away from drink, drugs and crime. I don’t know what Catherine said but if she feels like she has been misquoted I’d accept that. Moving on though here is a link on what the Icelandic model is.
https://mosaicscience.com/story/iceland-prevent-teen-substance-abuse
Iceland jailed bankers too. Lets try that model first.
@Hello DAVE!: you don’t get jailed here you get a bonus for the more incompetent you are and a nice pension
Is this the one who couldn’t get elected in the last election and was then specially appointed to the Seaned by Leo?
How is raising it to 20 going to make any difference? If they want it they’ll get it.
No because it would not work ,the 18 age is not working either
This is completely the wrong move, there is a strong correlation between higher legal ages for drinking and a binge drinking culture (Ireland, UK, USA…), if anything we should be lowering it.
If a teenagers introduction to alcohol is an uncontrolled experience it’s hardly a surprise they have such a destructive attitude towards the substance, we should consider allowing them to develop a positive relationship in the company of adults such as the French and other non binge drinking nations do.
Yes because restricting people’s access to alcohol always works,.
I’ve never heard such cod’s wallop. If anything we should be reducing it to 16 (the continental standard) and try have an educated and mature discussion around alcohol.
Has she been to Iceland? Those guys can party!
@ParSim: they must be broke. Costs a fortune there
Will they also ban diageo from sponsoring major sporting events? Will they f**k
Then raise the age to join the Army, the Garda, to Vote, to have consentual sex, to get married, have children, have a bank loan………
I’m gonna have to get myself a new fake ID if they do.
lol
Noone looking for publicity for her GE campaign.
Hopefully dublin will reject her as did Mayo.
A politician with zero achievements other than cosring the taxpayer a fortune.
More education.
Allow licensed premises to open as long as they see fit. Why can’t i buy wine on a Sunday morning shopping visit @ 10:00? Outdated laws
Just when you thought Journal couldn’t dream up clickbait any crazier.
While I do like Senator Noone, this idea is ridiculous. At 18 you are an adult. You have to accept all the consequences that come with that.
Why? It won’t be enforced! Our local parks are now being taken over after hours by drunken teens, not enough guards, lack of resources from government etc…. Here’s a poll, should this current inept, incompetent government be dissolved ASAP, because of their blatant lack of proper governance….. only one box to tick….. YES!
Who is the dame? What a stupid suggestion, if we ban alcohol till drinkers are 20 does she really think the 18 yr plus brigade will suddenly comply. Just a bit of attention seeking if you ask me
Sean Murray Are you a member of Fine Gael? I ask because my comment saying that Catherine Noone was a passive aggressive attention seeker was removed. If she can comment, so can I.
It should be dropped to 16 but only allow beer and wine to be served to under 20s
Regulation upon regulation upon regulation – Jesus Christ, are we allowed to do anything in this country anymore?
There is no legal age to buy coke and weed…And we all know how that’s working out.
@Decko Kelly: yeah there is and it is any age in this country
I’m gonna have to get a new fake ID if they do.
I don’t understand how it would not be considered age discrimination. You are considered an adult at 18. Pubs were already prevented from having age limits above 18 due to it being considered discrimination which it is.
How does raising the drinking age to 20 reduce alcohol abuse? We have another senator looking to make headlines. Why did we vote to keep that house?
The under 20′s should make sure to vote for non-Fine Gael Candidates who have some respect for the younger generations
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4321715/
I’m all for this. It’s a scientific fact with hundreds of studies about drug & alcohol effects on the developing adolescent brain. Or are you going to go all trump on me?
@Mick Staines: “Or are you going to go all trump on me?” who are you talking to?
There are more off licences in Cork city now then there were in the entire country 35 years ago. Then people drank in pubs, which is under supervision. Now people drink at home, which isn’t. 40 years ago a 20 year old learned, due to his/her surroundings, to drink responsibly. Now, frequently, they don’t.
Should it not be illegal for people to pay prsi tax during there working life can it not be made illegal to pay handsome pension s to politicians who has done a bad job while in government should it not b made illegal to have RIP off price drinks in Dublin from the rest of the country including pubs which do not have television bleating on their primises but still manage to RIP people off
I’m not sure about raising the age but Ireland has a terrible drinking problem and a lot of people refuse to acknowledge it. People’s attitude’s towards other drugs is so far removed from how they feel about alcohol and it makes zero sense.
Sure, there’s Iceland, but never forget the far larger and failed stateside model that has me wary of ever increasing the drinking age to a population already drinking before 18. I would suggest keeping 18 as is for buying alcohol in shops and in pubs, have an age of 16 to drink at home (or at parents choice) and then implement the other policies, such as limited advertising and educating about the dangers of binge drinking. Bans just seem to be the FG way, no thought goes into anything they do.
18 is perfectly acceptable age, of course there will be some that abuse it, but that happens at all ages
Sure the age limit doesn’t matter now lol most kids start drinking at fifteen or sixteen and smoking if they are going to. People need to wake up. I started when I was fifteen and smoking, then in my mid twenties I gave up smoking and rarely drink anymore. Just because you start young doesn’t mean your going to end up an alcoholic.
If you can fight and die for the country, vote,etc, then you can drink
If Irish people choose to adopt an Icelandic approach, things may improve. Changing the law won’t help.
@Cathal O’Donoghue: What is the Icelandic approach?
20 is an awkward number. 18 makes some sense. 21 in America, ok I get you. But 20? Nah mate.
I thought teens preferred drugs over drink now???
Raising the legal limit isn’t going to stop people from under-age drinking. That might only increase the stigma . If there was less hype about under-age drinking and less of an authoritarian approach taken by parents towards alcohol , I think teenagers would be able to enjoy alcohol more moderately without making the mistakes we all made. Introducing alcohol gradually even at 16 would be better than this idea in my opinion !
Grow up then ask for drink.
People of Ireland are mentally incapable, of making a decision, its our duty to think for everyone and we really care about you!
Don’t b so bloody stupid!
have your say
