Android and Samsung's Streaming Entertainment Venture: A New Player in the Market

Samsung has recently made a significant move in the streaming entertainment market by acquiring boxy, a cloud-based DVR service that allows users to stream TV and recordings to any device. Boxy uses an HD antenna as its sole input source, making it an innovative solution for cord-cutters looking to cut costs on traditional cable or satellite TV. With this acquisition, Samsung is now poised to become a major player in the streaming entertainment space.

Government Spending on Social Media

The US government has been spending quite a bit of money on social media platforms. According to reports, the State Department spent $630,000 on Facebook likes. This amount may seem insignificant, but it's worth noting that this is an unusual way for the government to engage with its audience. The fact that they felt the need to spend money to get people to like their posts highlights the challenges of effectively communicating with citizens in the digital age.

iOS and Android Updates

The latest updates for iOS and Android have brought several exciting features and improvements. On the iOS side, users can now enable grid lines in the video preview, which should make it easier to align footage. Additionally, the new "Ghost" feature allows users to preview the last shot they just took, making it a useful tool for those who use Vine or other stop-motion animation tools. The update also includes changes to the user interface and several bug fixes.

Twitter's New API Rollout

Twitter has recently announced a new API rollout that aims to prevent automated following and bulk following. This change is intended to thwart spammers who often use these tactics to artificially inflate their follow counts. While it may not directly impact individual users, it's worth noting that the platform has struggled with spamming issues in the past. With this update, Twitter hopes to improve the overall user experience and prevent malicious activity.

to crack open your troubleshooting skills use a process of elimination try another browser do you still have the same problem try another system on the same internet connection do you still have the same problem not exactly sure what to tell you but if it disappears well then I guess it could very well be YouTube that was causing a problem potentially YouTube mixed up with the other things that are happening in your system and this by the way is a very technical term do not try it at home and speaking of YouTube let's go ahead and base our poll today on YouTube itself you can get to our

your daily dose of geek news Gadget views and answers that you most certainly definitely and really can use like an answer to the question what does Chris do on a slow Newsday I could show you my new XPS 18 from Dell running on the Intel platform it's tall wide and Powerful pretty much the opposite of me and yes as a matter of fact I am running the Windows 8.1 beta on this thing if only because I think that Windows 8.1 is far more usable than Windows 8 I haven't spent a lot of time with it but it is probably the largest Windows 8 PC that I happen to own at this point in time it also comes with this heavy duty stand this wireless mouse and a wireless keyboard I don't know if I could hold it in a single hand for longer than a minute or two but it can be done I'm not sure if you could see that air hockey game that I was just playing but I was just playing an air hockey game and this thing is so large it could almost be an air hockey table itself and that wasn't a complaint by the way it's a nice sized screen the only issue I have at this point is wanting to replace my existing touchscreen PC made by HP as you've seen several times over in the pillo Vlog and earlier videos that I've done in this YouTube channel I just don't need so many touchscreen PCS everywhere I only like keeping a limited amount of PCS in and around my well Arms Reach I know so many of you dream of being able to have access to so many PCs at one point in time so I just have to get rid of some older ones somehow but based on my experience the XPS 18 will be around here for a little while by the way did you notice anything different about me today here's a clue this side is normal this side is missing something I'm not going to tell you what's messed up I'm just going to leave that to your own imagination and no saying that I'm messed up in general is a given and speaking of problems I've seen a few complaints trickle into the channel comment threads lately and I can't say that I'm really happy about that I mean if you're going to be ungrateful I wouldn't recommend doing it here as we shared on deals. locker.com earlier I can score you a 24% discount on a compact solar powered USB charger and powerful light that's an all-in-one unit if you are looking for an external battery pack in anyway why not save a few bucks and here's the thing even if you don't need one now inevitably you will need one at some point in the future and it's the times when you would need it that you wish you would have listened to my advice carry batteries with you I don't care where when or how you get the battery pack so long as you do and don't blame me when you're oh Kindle Fire HD how I don't use you as much as I thought I would but if you use a Kindle Fire or know someone who does I've got

Boston University get in line Samsung has delayed its first teas in phone teas tyen however you pronounce it Samsung is definitely rolling ahead with their own mobile platform that's both good and bad news good news because hey it's an alternative bad news if you happen to like Samsung specifically because they chose Android at least recently and at some point in the future may drop Android so there's a good question to ask do you like Samsung's current range of Galaxy devices because they're running Android or because they're made by Samsung some people don't realize that Samsung doesn't make Android although it seems to be making all the profits with Android Samsung has also purchased the streaming entertainment startup boxy I know quite a few of you probably already use boxy and if
