Microsoft's new Xbox One Thoughts and Opinions

Hey guys, as most of you know, the new Xbox console was announced today! This is amazingly exiting. So without further adieu  I present to you, my thoughts and opinions on Microsoft's new Xbox One. To start off, I think this is a major improvement in gaming consoles. The first major improvement is this new Xbox is it replaces your TV provider. So, now not only can you get movies and shows through Netflix, but you can also watch live television! This is going to help save space and just make things more convenient. Another thing that I love about this new Xbox is the new "Kinect". With this new camera, you can simply use  speech to turn your Xbox and even you TV on. I love the though that controllers are going to be soon extinct. But, even though I imagine a world without controllers. The Xbox One's controller makes me take that back. The controller will fit comfortably in your hands. And, with the the new grips on the comfortable concave thumb sticks  the incredible, life-like, HD gaming will make you feel like you are there. But, hold the boat. With the Xbox One, your games and media will be stored in the cloud. One of the only problems with this is you need to be on the internet to get new content. But, the system does have a disc drive. Another thing that I don't really like about the Xbox One is the size. But it does not really bother me when you factor in that it is also a TV provider. So, those are my thoughts on Microsoft's new Xbox One.

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.

Google Glass "Uses"

Hey guys, ever since the Google Glass was announced, people have been creating quite a stir. So today I am here to discuss why I would use Glass, and what I would use it for. First, i'll start with why. I think google glass is the next leap into the future. Some people think even though this is a major innovation, it looks stupid. But honestly, people need to put two and two together and realize that styles can change and that this could be the next "cool" thing. But me personally, would not mind because I wear glasses. But that would only apply if they made a "clip-on" version. Or at least prescription versions of them. But The major question is why. Why would you need glass and how would it improve your life? For me, I would use it as a phone but hands free. That way I can pull up pictures when drawing, get directions when walking places, and pull up recipes when cooking. I really like the idea of this innovation. But as we all know, no offense to Apple, but Apple will attempt to make a copy. Or wearable technology, like the iWatch.
