Vizio (Yahoo Controlled) Smart TV

Hey guys, I have been thinking this over for quite a while. But I know feel I know enough to talk to you guys about it today. Getting to the point, today I would like to talk to you about Vizio's smart TV operating system. So, whether you are looking into getting a smart TV, you already have one, or you are just curious about them, this is the article for you! When I got my smart TV I was a little confused with the OS. But it didn't take long to figure out. The OS is pretty nice. To open up the "home" menu, you need to press the "V" button (on Vizio models. OS varies by company). When you press this button, a little menu pops up from the bottom of the screen. In this "tray" you can find all of your apps. One of the only problems with this tray is if you have lots of apps, it takes a while to find the one you want. Also, there is a little bit of lag, but not too much. Before you enter apps, you need to download them. This is probably the biggest downside of the OS. Because the app store is run by Yahoo, there are only just under 150 apps. And many aren't even useful. But some are good like Pandora, YouTube, Twitter, etc. When your apps are downloaded, you can find them in the tray. Most apps will open in a small widget so you may do basic tasks while still watching TV. But you can easily find a button that opens the full application. Unfortunately, some apps are widget or full screen only. While inside applications, they run very smoothly, Without much lag. Also, well known apps such as YouTube run in perfect HD. The TV has very good WiFi but that varies with your TV and your router. But as long as you are fairly close to your router, you should have smooth feed back. That is all I have to say about the Vizio smart TV interface.

iPhone 5s Rumors (Better camera, faster processor, and fingerprint scanner)

as the time ticks closer to the likely third quarter release of the next generation iPhone, more and more rumors about it have come out of non "reliable" sources and "reliable" sources like Foxcon (apples main factory). So today I am here to talk about my favorite rumors surround the IPhone 5s. The first possible feature the will be on the phone is a fingerprint scanner/recognizer. This is one of the biggest rumors going around right now. I think that this would be a good idea Except for a few cons. First off, what if your friend needs to call someone with your phone when you are not near by. I know this seems unlikely but it is possible. In this case, your friend or whoever needs to use your phone cannot access the phone which could cause problems. This feature would also not work the best because of the fact that why use a fingerprint scanner when you could just use a passcode? Does the extra 2 seconds really bother you? But one good thing that would come out of this is if the phone is stolen, it will be harder to hack into than a passcode. The next rumor is a very simple one that we can practically expect to have on the next iPhone. And that is a faster processor. We don't yet know what this processor will be but we know it will defiantly be better. This next phone is going to be crazy fast. The iPhone 5 was amazing in terms of speed and I. cant wait to see what apple will do with its next iPhone. Lastly, the iPhone 5s is said to have a better camera. We see this on most "s" iPhone models. Also, with apple now making everything high resolution, the phones camera has to meet with at least the standards of the screen resolution. This will be way better because people who like to take pictures or vlog can do this on their iPhone with ease. I hope you enjoyed my favorite iPhone 5s rumors.
