Upcoming Vizio TVs to reportedly offer Chromecast-like features out-of-the-box

Posted on by

According to a new report, Google and TV manufacturer Vizio are working to integrate Chromecast-like streaming functionality directly into TV sets. These new TVs will be available this year – “as early as this spring,” the report says.

Unlike traditional smart TVs, the new line of Vizio TVs won’t feature any apps. Instead, you can think of them as Chromecast with a screen, allowing users to view content (like video and music) streamed from their mobile devices.

The report further says that instead of a traditional remote, users will be able to interact with the TV via an Android tablet that includes apps and services required for streaming. However, the plan to use a tablet as a dedicated remote control isn’t yet…

HTC M10 teased on Twtter, nothing but chamfer

Posted on by

A few days ago, an alleged leak of the HTC M10 surfaced the web and showed an HTC One device with a really wide, almost exaggerated, chamfered edge surrounding the device.

The photo on twitter shows only a silhouette of the device and the only thing visible is a chamfer. This chamfer confirms that leak I mentioned earlier about the ugly chamfer.

The company used a hashtag #powerof10 which could very well be HTC’s marketing tagline for the M10. Are you ready for HTC’s big announcement? Keep an eye out for an event date since no such date has been confirmed yet.

Who Has Reclaimed The Most Islets In Asia’s Disputed Sea? Not China

Posted on by

When Taiwan’s Department of Land Administration was surveying the disputed South China Sea in 2014 to see which country had what, it noticed a lot of landfill. Everyone knew China was expanding atolls in the ocean’s Paracel and Spratly archipelagos, and they know now that China has parked anti-aircraft missiles in the Paracels. China grabs attention because it worries officials as far away as Washington about possible designs to control the whole 3.5 million-square-kilometer body of water, which is crucial to international commerce as well as resources from fish to oil. Control over even tiny land features implies rights to much bigger tracts of water.
