No webcam? Use your iPhone instead

Sure most Macs come with built-in web cams, but not all do (think Mac Mini, for example). Now, instead of purchasing expensive webcam peripherals, cameraless Mac users can use their expensive iPhones as webcams. The twins over at Mac Daddy World have come up with some software that streams iPhone images at 30 fps over Wi-Fi to another Mac user. Once you have the software, the Mac Daddies claim you won't have to do any extra configuration: your computer will find and start using your iPhone as a camera automatically.

This is a pretty clever innovation, given that iPhone by itself can take only still pictures. All you'll need to bring to the table is a mirror.
