Test Driving GAIN Fitness, The App That Turns Your iPhone Into A Personal Trainer [TCTV]

Summer is on its way, and self-improvement is on everyone's minds -- so it seems like each day I hear about a new must-have app focused on fitness, health, nutrition, or the "quantified self" in general. And now that the tech startup scene is hotter than ever, many of these apps are backed by serious investors and have big plans for the future. Take GAIN Fitness. The San Francisco-based company, headed up by former college athlete and ex-Googler Nick Gammell, makes web and mobile apps that provide personalized workout routines and track users' progress as they go through them. It sounds solid on paper, but with all the options out there we wanted to look a bit closer at the company and its product. So we met up with Gammell at a gym in downtown San Francisco to talk to him about GAIN Fitness and test drive the app ourselves.

Hot shoe adapter for Sony NEX-5 and NEX-5N gets the hands-on treatment

The Sony NEX-7 we reviewed last month is the only cam from the NEX line to include a hot shoe for attaching an external flash, but Sony just introduced a workaround for the NEX-5N and NEX-5, a hot shoe adapter that will ship for $79.99. Engadget Chinese got to handle a unit and gave it a spin on the NEX-5N. In addition to allowing for an external flash, the adapter lets you automatically sync with the internal one, with the recommended max shutter speed being 1/ 250s. Our sister site's hands-on version didn't allow for tightening the screw position with a coin, which resulted in the adapter coming a bit loose -- so perhaps this isn't the exact model that will ship. Hop on over to the original post for more photos.

This Two-Acre Telescope Powers Science's Search for Dark Energy [Monster Machines]

For lack of a better word, the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) is ginorgantic. (That's the evolved form of ginormous).

Marilyn Manson and Seraphim Ward: NOT Engaged!

Seraphim Ward is engaged to Marilyn Manson ... or so we thought earlier!

The news broke earlier today, only to be refuted hours later. Seraphim's an actress as well as a "self-described independent occult filmmaker."

Sounds about right.

"Seraphim has recently made a life commitment to her partner and couldn't be happier!" Ward's manager, Jonathan Shelton, confirmed to E!

Shelton added that there are no immediate wedding plans, as Seraphim is focused on her new relationship as well as her film career and album.

Manson's 27-year-old fiancée tweeted a pic of the massive rock he gave her - a family heirloom once belonging to his grandmother - with the caption "OMG!"

Indeed.

Seraphim is currently making her feature film acting debut in Speed Dragon opposite Bai Ling. Manson is getting ready to drop his latest album, Born Villain.

A rep for Marilyn, who was previously engaged to Evan Rachel Wood and prior to that, married to Dita Von Teese, was unavailable for comment at this time.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

UPDATE: Or not. "Marilyn Manson is not engaged to Seraphim Ward. He has never met her," Manson's publicist tells E! News. So that's that.
