I encountered a weird thing the other day playing around with Pic Quikr (Flickr interface app from App Store) trying to upload a picture of my dog.

This picture of a ?circuit board? ?battery? superimposed itself over my dogs picture.

Anybody know what this is?

I used the iPhone's built in Home-Power button to take a screen shot...

This is a stock iPhone Original 1G from back-n-the-day.

It looks like part of a camera's LCD. What camera took the original picture? It looks a little like my Nikon DSLR's LCD.

ETA: Picture of D80 top LCD...

Damn, that's screwed up. Your iPhone has amorous pictures of another digital advice. Oooooh.
 
fake... Lifted it off with photoshop! Haha

We already knew it was a superimposed image though. I'm sure he really didn't take a photo of that image on top of his dog. Why would you try to fake such a thing? For the Macrumors fame? Or, just for the lulz?

His lowly iPhone is keeping digital gadget porn on it without his knowledge. That dirty little iPhone!

Dude, not fake.


(Didn't have time to explain this yesterday...)

I was using my iPhone Original with the $2 Pic Quikr application (it lets you easily batch upload iPhone pictures to the Flickr site).

In PicQuikr, I was batch uploading some ordinary iPhone taken pictures out of the camera roll. I selected the picture of my dog on the green couch (definately without the superimposed battery image). PicQuikr uses and links to the iPhone Camera Roll 'app' functions (like picture selection, etc).

PicQuikr lets you zoom in, pan, etc the picture before it's sent up to Flickr. I was doing that with pinch and finger-slides and all of a sudden the superimposed battery image came up overtop of dog on the couch picture.


I thought it was weird, so I remembered that you can hold the home button and the power button down for a split-second and iPhone's firmware will take a screenshot of whatever's on your iPhone screen. I did that, and what you see is the resulting image, a png file actually.


I'll try to recreate it and post the steps on this if I can this weekend...

edit - RECREATE UPDATE:

Looking at the picture, I think I was in the 'Your Photo Stream' section of the Pic Quikr app...trying to recreate...




PS: Trust me, I don't need MacRumors "fame". I just thought this was weird and wanted to pass it on. As one of the Original iPhone people I paid my $600 for it back in the day, and have watched this thing grow into the best smartphone on the market today, it's been really amazing. This type of weirdness is fun to share. Do a forum search on 'yagrax' and you'll see my postings.

Steps to recreate...

Install Pic Quikr app ($2) from app store (I'm not affiliated in any way with the author).

Link it to your Flickr account.

Go to the 'Photo Stream' section inside the app.

Let it load the 'Your Photostream' page.

Select an image to view individually.

Let it load the image.

Now with the image loaded, swipe DOWN kinda hard in the middle of the picture.

The 'SLR' image will superimpose on the bottom left of your picture.

I don't think it has any function that I can figure out.
