Chromecast tip you can drag and drop files into the browser. On your desktop or wherever just drag and drop the file onto the browser. Like you would drag a file to a folder instead do it on the browser. Now cast that tab. If you have a movie saved on the desktop go to it then drag it into the browser and let go.

Galaxy S4 MoDaCo Switch Indiegogo campaign quickly reaches its fundraising goal

Thanks to everyone who has pledged so far, you're all awesome and it's fantastic we've hit the target already. I'm not setting stretch goals per se, but all subsequent donations help get us towards the ultimate goal of making Switch available for all ROM developers to use and thereby all devices. Switch is for you - Android fans. :-)

What the fukk does that even have to do with his issue?

:"learn to type better" that shyt has nothing to do with the fact that hes getting double key strokes. Shut the fukk up for once and stop acting like you know EVERYTHING there is to know. Everybody is sick of your shyt breh. Pull your head out of your ass.

Moto X8 explained: software optimized, 50% better than competition in battery benchmarks

The Moto X is a little more than 24 hours away, and it’s good to finally get some official information on what has to be the most hyped device of the year.

Motorola’s SVP for engineering, Iqbal Arshad, talked to PCMag about what makes the X8 computing system at the core of the Moto X special. Especially since neither Verizon, whose Droid devices are powered by the same chip, or Motorola were forthcoming about the X8 until now, our interest was piqued.

superior performance, low battery consumption, and “intelligent, probabilistic computing.”

First, the Motorola engineer specified what the X8 isn’t – a SoC in the traditional sense of the word. The goal for Motorola was to move away from the CPU-based paradigm in order to achieve superior performance, low battery consumption, and “intelligent, probabilistic computing.”
To achieve these goals, Motorola paired a “regular” dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro SoC clocked at 1.7GHz and optimized it at a firmware level. According to Arshad:

We've done additional optimizations on top of that such as optimizing the entire Linux user space to move it to an ARM instruction set, cache optimization, Dalvik just-in-time optimization, and we've changed the file system {…} It's full hardware-software integration to deliver best-in-class performance.

In addition to this software-optimized Snapdragon S4 Pro chip, Moto added a contextual computing processor and a natural language processor, which Arshad says Motorola designed in-house, although they were manufactured by a third-party.

Combining the optimized SoC with custom processors for language and sensors supposedly allowed Motorola to achieve big battery savings – Iqbal Arshad claims that without the two custom cores, the phone would have needed two additional batteries to achieve the same functionality.

Even better, the power savings don’t affect performance – PCMag quotes Arshad saying that the X8 outperforms competitors in battery rundown benchmarks, while delivering superior frame rates. (Benchmark claims, however, shouldn’t be taken at face value.)

One final interesting note – Moto’s engineering boss says the company could opt for any other processor, from Qualcomm or other chipmaker, which signals that the company wants the spotlight on its own work, rather than let a “legacy CPU” supplier get the credit.​

because he is on 4.3 and the touch input is perfect thats why. Most issues are user errors. Im on the same software and using the same keyboard but what do i know. Youre sick of me because I know more than you. Nobody in here knows more than me lets get that straight

You dont know shyt breh. You just post articles in here all day and act like your opinion is fact. Them fumes from the IBM bathrooms must be getting to you.



Just because YOU'RE not having the same issue doesnt mean that it doesnt exist. Theres no such thing as "perfect" when it comes to electronics.


God Youre A fakkit. Go find your father.
