Here's how to add Google Cast feature from Chromecast to Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick the easy way by just installing this app.
Google Chrome is one of the most popular web browsers in the world at the moment so it's no surprise that developers and enthusiasts are keen to build and publish extensions for the software. Perhaps one of the simplest but highly functioning Chrome app available at the moment, is the newly discovered Vysor, which comes courtesy of the prominent developer behind Android apps and tweaks like AllCast, Helium, ROM Manager, and most importantly, ClockworkMod recovery. Vysor allows the display of an Android device to be mirrored onto a PC, Mac, or Linux computer running Google Chrome with absolute minimal fuss.
No smartphone device is ever going to be classed as perfect. Perfect, as we all know, is an entirely unachievable target that should be aimed for when designing a new product, but expected to be missed. As part of the physical design of its new Galaxy Note 5 flagship, Samsung introduced a new spring-loaded mechanism that allows users to store, as well as reintroduce the S Pen when they desire. However, it seems that user error can not only negate the benefits of the new feature, but can actually cause permanent damage to the handset if the S Pen is inserted incorrectly.
Rumors of a new Moto 360 2 (2015) have been abound for a good while now, and new leaked photos purporting to be of the unannounced wearable have now started to appear.

Now, in an effort to get its Galaxy smartphones into the hands of as many users as possible - in particular owners of Apple's iPhone - Samsung has announced its "Ultimate Test Drive" program where consumers can test drive a Galaxy smartphone for just $1.
Ever since the movie Minority Report arrived, people have been waiting for computers to progress to the point where we can wave our arms around to control on-screen interfaces. Despite a few false dawns, we haven't quite got to that point yet, and while the likes of Microsoft's Kinect have proven that the technology is there, things haven't quite taken off like some may have expected. Instead, touch-based interfaces like those on smartphones and tablets have become the norm.
Here's a real-world speed test comparison between Samsung Galaxy Note 5 vs OnePlus 2 vs LG G4 in a detailed video.
Android 6.0 Marshmallow Developer Preview 3 is now available to download for Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and the Android TV Nexus Player device. Formerly called Android M, the bits released today are part of final developer preview program which should be pretty close to what general public gets on their devices when the final version is released this fall.
Samsung has been basking in acclamation over the last few days for the refreshed design that adorns its Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+ handsets that were introduced last week. The beautiful, sleek visuals that are achieved with the perfectly engineered use of metal and glass is an undeniable improvement on the plastic phones that we have become accustomed to from Samsung.
