Chomemote

I just wanted to talk about one of the coolest things I have seen for Google TV recently.  It is the Chrome browser extension Chromemote. It looks like a port directly from the Android app Google TV Remote. If you are used to the app it is pretty awesome. I would personally want some different skin, but it rocks. I love being able to use my actual keyboard to search for things. I have only used it for a day, but it is very convenient for doing homework and watching something for noise in the background.

Overall I recommend Chromemote to everyone with a laptop and a Google TV. Open up Chrome and get the extension here.

Chrome to TV

The new Google TV is a bit glitchy, and I wish the clock was on the other side of the home screen, but so far fun. What I want to meantion that most people would probably never find is Chrome to TV.

There is a chrome extention called Chrome to Phone, that pushes a site from your chrome browser to your phone, if you need to leave or something. They incorporated it into Google TV, so now when you have a youtube video on your computer you can push it straight to the TV with only a click of one button. That simple feature might be the nicest of all the updates, and it isn't even advertised.

Gingerbread update!

My TV just alerted me it is updating. Finally after a whole year of talk it has come. I will give a few review probably in a few days, but I am just celebrating that it is here.

False Update Excitement

Today I turned on my TV and there was an update. I got really excited, but all for nothing. The update only took like two minutes and I have no idea what changed, but not that much. How lame. When is Ice Cream Sandwich coming.

Zediva Shut Down

On of the saddest things that has happened in a while is Zediva getting shut down. It happened on August 11th. In the middle of the night I got an email that told me they lost to the government and got shut down. They call it an "Intermission" but it really just means they lost.

I still had like 5 credits I was going to use. I liked Zediva, even if it only worked during the day, because my apartment's internet is too slow at night. I had used it on my Google TV and on my Android phone. It was great. I am sad big companies can just beat them out because they have more money.

Thank you for being great when you lasted. I will miss you Zediva, you made my newly released movie experience so much better.
