What Google's Chromecast Has That All the Other Web-to-TV Devices Don't

Google today announced a new Internet-to-television device called Chromecast, a well-developed area of technology that doesn't really need another gizmo. With Apple TV, Roku and Boxee all providing solutions to turn a regular old HDTV into an Internet-capable TV, you might be thinking that the Chromecast is an also-ran before it's even been released.

Yet Chromecast, as it's called, has the techies all giddy. A few of them said they already went on over to the Play store and bought one — before Google had even finished up its event. The general upshot of the stick is that it ports the television on your computer or smartphone — like Netflix, or YouTube — to your television. A lot of devices can already do this for you. So what makes this thing any different or better than all the others?

Full disclosure: I purchased one this morning. 3-4 week till it arrives and, at which point, I'll do a brief review.
 
That's a pretty sweet gadget. But I have a Smart TV with wi fi connection and all the necessary apps, so it'd be no use to me.

My BR TV isn't Wi-Fi-enabled, so this is the perfect thing for it. Better than running 20ft of HDMI cable in any event.
 
Google Chrome security flaw offers unrestricted password access

A serious flaw in the security of Google's Chrome browser lets anyone with access to a user's computer see all the passwords stored for email, social media and other sites, directly from the settings panel. No password is needed to view them.

Besides personal accounts, sensitive company login details would be compromised if someone who used Chrome left their computer unattended with the screen active.
 
i have a question - no doubt a really stupid one to those who know why but any help would be cool:

got my new usb cam/mic combo, plugged it in, it takes pics. ok, good. the problem is that the preview inset isn't showing me a good image of what i'm taking - it's like it's on acid. the pics come out ok, but it was a bitch manually setting the focus and then snapping without knowing what i was actually capturing.

now, is there some problem like 'noise' or something from my pc causing the previews to be so distorted, or am i doing something else stupid?

embarrassed butters :rolleyes:

Did you run the set-up CD that came with it?

If I had to guess, I'd hazard that you have sub-optimal drivers powering the webcam, hence you have functionality, but not optimal operation.

no cd, states it needs no drivers or software. 10mg cam, leds for night vision . . . for use with windows xp, 30 images per second . . . is it because it's french? :rolleyes:

There should be, yes.

Go to the manufacturer's site, find your cam and dl drivers for the O/S you're running (I'm assuming XP).
 
Okay, so Windows Virus (I know, that's my first mistake) has essentially shit the bed. It tried to update but the progress is stuck at 0% then my machine reboots and then Virus tries to update again and so on so forth.

So here's the deal. I want to recover the OS but I don't have the disc anymore. I hope I can recover from the HDD. The machine is a prebuilt rig (out of warranty) and the OS is on the the original HDD. The mainboard model is M2N-SLI.

Have you tried booting up in safe mode and either uninstalling any recent OS updates that might be hung up or running anti-virus to make sure you don't have any nasties about?

Whole lot less work than having to restore the computer.
 
why won't my apps move to the sd card?
I am using an android phone - ROOTED There are a bunch of apps t-mobile put on there. I want to move them to the SD card.

It is but I can't get that far. As soon as the desktop loads it starts the "important update" shit all over again.

You need to interrupt the boot process. Usually you press F8 while it's booting but sometimes it's DEL or F5.
