The Raspberry Pi has all kinds of setting hidden away inside its configuration file. If you don't want to mess about with that, PiCon is a program that allows you to easily set up your Pi without mucking around in the config.txt file.

PiCon is cross-platform and it simply creates a config.txt file that you can save to your Raspberry Pi. It's packed with all kinds of options for the Raspberry Pi, including forcing HDMI, changing aspect ratio, rotating the screen, and more. You can do all this stuff from the command line on the Pi if you want, but PiCon makes it easy to see all your options in one place. After you create the file, just upload it to your Raspberry Pi and you're all set.

LG's oddly shaped Optimus Vu II is slated for an update next month, according to Korean site ETNews. The 4:3 large-format device, dubbed simply Vu 3 (LG has dropped the Optimus branding from flagship devices), has also appeared on an LG microsite, which serves to both confirm the handset's existence and tease a pair of semi-transparent QuickView cases. The phone covers, available in black or gray, appear to feature a see-through design, enabling some pretty spiffy animated notifications. As for the phone itself, you can expect a Snapdragon 800 chipset, a 13-megapixel rear camera and LTE-Advanced support. It's slated to hit KT Telecom, SK Telecom and LG U+ in Korea in the coming months.
