The process of getting a refund for an app purchased on the Play Store can be a rather arduous task, and even though Google has a 15-minute grace period in place for those who wish to get their money back, things can get a little trickier after that time has passed. Sure, contacting the developer sometimes works, but if the dev chooses to ignore your protests, you're pretty much on your own. Now, though, Google has stepped in somewhat, and if you are in pursuit of a refund for an app or game, check the steps involved below.
Google Glass is currently being trialed in a multitude of different fields. From Virgin Airline check-ins at Heathrow Airport to the Dubai Police and New York Police in the ongoing fight against crime, the empowering nature of having a head mounted camera and ready-made apps is really starting to show, and now, surgeons appear to be getting in on the act as well.
After the Galaxy S comes the inevitable arrival of the Galaxy Note, and with Samsung having already taken the wraps off the Galaxy S5 - to much critical acclaim, might I add - industry insiders now reckon they have the scoop on the Galaxy Note 4's announcement date.
Touch-screen phones are great, but sometimes there is just no substitute for a good old hardware solution. Being able to have a button that's always available, and always does the same thing is not something that should be overlooked, and that's why there are more than a few Kickstarter projects aiming to bring a little more physicality to our touch-based world.
Amazon has been leading the way on the freebie front just lately, and now comes arguably one of the best deals we've seen yet. For downloading five designated free apps from the Amazon Appstore, you can accrue 1000 Amazon Coins, which, in turn, equates to $10 to spend on any app or in-app purchase you like!
Even though Samsung is renowned for releasing a bunch of spin-off devices after every new flagship, we naturally thought that the South Korean company might skip the Galaxy S5 Active this time around. After all, the Galaxy S4 Active's main draw was its dust and waterproof nature, and given how the standard Galaxy S5 is already both of these things, we naively touted the demise of the Active. However, a new video showcasing the Galaxy S5 Active in full working order suggests otherwise, and as well as being more rugged than its just-released cousin, is notably different in a few other departments, too.
Facebook has just taken the wraps off a fairly significant new feature in the past few moments that allows users to share and discover new music, movies and TV shows with very little effort involved. As of now - if you decide to opt-in - you'll be able to use your device's microphone to detect what movie, TV show or music track you're currently engaged in, without the need to type this info yourself.
Police in Dubai have been testing out Google's Glass in an attempt to bust those violating traffic laws and regulations. Following a pilot scheme by the New York Police Department in the United States, it's no surprise to see more law enforcement agencies utilizing the technologies offered by Google's head-mounted gadget, and apparently, Dubai's police force has already created two custom app tailored to stopping traffic violators in their tracks.
Google Glass has been out in the wild for well over a year now, and although it remains in beta, the search giant recently ditched its invitation policy to allow any wannabe Explorer with a spare $1,500 to join up. The more widespread a product becomes, the likelier it is that its various strengths and flaws will become more obvious and exposed, and apparently, long-term use of the unusually-positioned display can lead to muscle fatigue and general eye pain.
Even though Samsung's Galaxy S series is considered the company's main, flagship line, the Galaxy Note range has won the hearts and affections of those looking for a similar premium experience on a larger canvas. This year, we're expecting to see the Galaxy Note 4 emerge around September time, coinciding once again with the IFA gathering in Berlin, Germany, and even though we've quite a way to go, tidbits of info are already trickling in from around the Web.
