Word on the Digital Street is That Google Cast Is About to Undergo Another Evolution

The word on the digital street is that the Google Cast application is about to undergo another evolution. Starting soon, the application will go by the name of "Google Home" and it will be an application that helps you connect with your Chromecasts and with your Google Home device.

Samsung Is Apparently Looking to Reenter the Digital Assistant Space

Samsung is apparently looking to reenter the digital assistant space with their acquisition of Viv Labs. For those who don't know, Viv Lab's is a startup that specializes in digital assistance and it's also worth noting that the creators helped build Siri. We're not entirely certain how Samsung is going to use their acquisition but the popular opinion is that they'll compete with Siri and Google in the years to come. Here's hoping it does better than SVO did.

IV Is a Sidebar Application

It's a bit buggy, which is normal for early releases, but it's worth keeping on your radar.

It features simple graphics, an engaging storyline, and best of all, no in-app purchases.
