Google poking fun at Oculus Rift by making a cardboard VR headset that’s reportedly fairly immersive. It beats spending thousands on one made by Oculus Rift. It’s just a matter of time before this takes off with developers.

Samsung Galaxy S5

My girlfriend just got the Samsung Galaxy S5 yesterday, and it is an amazing phone.

There’s nothing to report regarding the design as it’s the same as other versions of the Galaxy S series aside from the more pronounced metal ridges on the side of the phone and the perforated soft plastic rear cover which isn’t too aesthetically pleasing. I wish that the S5 went with the soft plastic leather look of the Galaxy Note 3 though. The IP67 rating is nice as it’s certified to be water and dust resistant which means you can submerge the phone in water for 30 minutes for those accidental drops into the pool, sink, or bath tub. There’s less flex on the phone likely due to the IP67 rating though it doesn’t feel as solid as other metal bodied flagship devices. The next Galaxy S6 will be time for a design refresh with what I hope will be a curved back design, soft plastic or even a metal body, and replacing the home button with a capacitive one which can increase screen size more without making the actual phone bigger.

The phone is packed with the latest and greatest hardware with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 801 at 2.5 GHz, 2GB Ram, 2800 mAh battery, up to 128 MB microSD expansion, new 16 MP ISOCELL camera, Android 4.4 Kit Kat, and some new features like the fingerprint scanner, health monitor, and a battery saving mode.

The display is simply awesome and looks better than my Galaxy Note 3 though you’d have to spend quite some time nit picking between either phone and other flagships such as the LG G2 and the HTC One (M8). The display has been reviewed as the best from many reviews. I also like that it is still accurate and responsive whether you’re wearing gloves or if there’s water on the screen which can’t be said for other flagship phones.

More features can be seen below covered by Android Authority.

Google Chromecast vs. Amazon Fire TV…and Slippers

Android Authority: Google Chromecast vs Amazon Fire TV
This is a nice video comparison put together by Android Authority comparing the Chromecast and Fire TV. I already have the Chromecast which has been nice to have which I pair with my Nexus 7, my tablet that’s just dedicated to just playing media. I’ll just stick with my $30 Chromecast vs the $100 for the Fire TV.

DellLaptop

Dell Laptop I3135
Well, my laptop is pretty much crapping out on me after 3 years of use. I don’t go on any compromising websites, so my guess is the Windows updates and probably some adware is in there that’s lagging the hell out of it. I bought this discontinued Dell for about $300 which suits my needs. My old Asus had a 15.4″ screen while this Dell has a 11.6″ screen. I debated a bit on whether to get a 14″ or the same 15.4″, but I like the portability of this new one. While the screen is only slightly bigger than a tablet, I needed something with a solid keyboard while being easy to throw in a bag. The touchscreen is nice too with Windows 8, but I’ve only been using desktop mode so far.

This snake is a beast. I just read that after eating this, the snake doesn’t have to eat for 2 months. So really, it’s probably better off just going after big prey and choking them out!
