500px is the home of a great deal of lovely photography, and the app has been updated today to be a bit more lovely itself. At least this is the assertion made by 500px. The new v4.3.0 is live in the Play Store with a completely revamped UI and a few small feature additions. However, Chainfire's 500px wallpaper app 500 Firepaper got an update too, and it's a much sadder story.

500px Photography Finds A Bigger Canvas As Your Chromecast's Backdrop
The 500px community is very famous among photography enthusiasts. Along with Flickr, it might be one of the most sought after sites for sharing beautiful and breathtaking pics taken around the globe by amateur and professional photographers alike. It's no surprise then that the service is an excellent fit for the Chromecast and that it wants a place on your TV screen.
500px has worked with Google to bring a curated collection of featured photos from the service to the streaming stick as backdrops. This joins the newly added Facebook and Flickr Albums as an option for photos to display while your Chromecast is idling in the background of your room or office. The Chromecast app will also display the photo's details including the user who took it, its title, and a link to view it on the website.

Google Launches A New Breed Of Chrome Apps For The Browser's 5th Anniversary, Promises Android Compatibility In The Future
As a Chromebook owner, I've waited a long time for Google to roll out a section in the Chrome Web Store dedicated to packaged apps. It didn't fundamentally bother me that many of the previous "apps" were just glorified bookmarks, I simply chose not to install them and desperately wanted a way to find the apps that were intended to run outside of a browser window. Today, Google has finally answered my prayers (yes, I pray to Google, don't you?), but the addition of the "For Your Desktop" section is just the beginning. The Chrome developers also have plans to port Chrome apps to Android someday.

Official 500px App Lands In The Play Store, Brings Amazing Photographs And A Clean Interface To Your Mobile
Those who dig the photography aggregation site 500px can finally enjoy all of its offerings on their mobile device, as the official 500px app is now available in the Play Store. The app is just as simple and elegant as the site itself, paying specific attention to highlight all of the work on display instead of offering an over-the-top interface.
Once the app is fired up, you have a grid of images available, and tapping on any image displays it in greater detail. Once the larger image is displayed, you can tap once again to get more info about it, including image name, photographer, rating, comments, and more.
