Samsung Level Over – @Pat_Seery takes a look and shares his thoughts #Samsung #LevelOver

At techbuzz we like to people a chance to have their own product/s showcased and if anyone has a product they would like share a review on you can come here and have it published,All you need to do is drop us an email at techbuzzireland.com. Welcome Pat Seery who is one of many people that have contacted us with a product they own.

Pat shares his thoughts on the Samsung Level Over headset,so its over to you Pat.

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a pair of these and in spite of other “Bigger” brand names being in the same market I still went for these well I wasn’t disappointed at all. A Lot of people were complaining about the “Plastic” look of Upper end Samsung products, they still feel like a premium set of earphones in the hand they`re lightly constructed yes but after wearing them for quite some time I think you`ll be glad of this.


Several features including noise cancelling and Bluetooth with of course Samsung’s level App make these just astounding to listen to with your phone. I also have used them on the Samsung 55-Inch HU8500 Smart 3D UHD 4K LED Curved TV and let me just say “WOW!” the sound is just amazing as soon as they`re paired your off and with active noise cancelling there’s no bleeding of sound so you`re IN the movie you are watching. One thing I really liked is that they just aren’t BASS which really annoyed me about the beats series of headphones they’ve really good midrange which is essential if you’re not going to be listening to just music on them.


As with the Samsung VR they do come in a lovely big box and carrying case (which is almost identical to the VR case albeit with different embossing) an inline remote control and a USB charging cable (I must point out that Samsung for some reason have seemed to have stopped supplying power plugs with their peripheral devices for some reason so this doesn’t come with the earphones)
The specifications include
Bluetooth 3.0
50mm speakers Bio-Cellulose Diaphragms
15 hours of Listening/Talk time
Impedance 41 ohms

LG G Flex 2 and LG G4 hits Ireland via PC World. #LG #G4 #Flex2

The two devices have been available in many markets for a while now and yet there is no sign of any networks picking up the duo from LG. The G3 also got no attention from networks last despite reports saying it was on sale when it was not,people had to import and that included myself . One good thing here people can go into a store and physically see the device’s before purchasing or search for a better price online.

PC World now sell the duo which is of course contract free and cost from €699 to €729 respectively which is not cheap either,but at least you are not tied to an operator and bloat ware free..

Yahoo is shutting down maps and other services. #Yahoo #Maps

Yahoo have made a blog post announcing some upcoming changes in its “Q2 2015 Progress Report On Our Product Prioritization“,

Amotz Maimon, Chief Architect reports….

At Yahoo, we continue to focus on our key product pillars: search, communications and digital content. Part of that focus includes taking a hard look at our existing products and services, and ensuring our resources are spent smartly and with a clear purpose. Ultimately, we want to provide you with the best products, platforms and experiences possible.

 

 

 

We’d like to provide you with a few upcoming product changes:

 

  • Support for Yahoo Mail on older iOS devices (built-in Mail app): In order to maintain focus on the security, speed and functionality of Yahoo Mail on the latest systems, we are no longer supporting Yahoo Mail on the built-in Mail app for devices prior to iOS 5 on June 15, 2015. If you use iOS 4 & earlier, you can continue to use Yahoo Mail on their Safari mobile browser at mail.yahoo.com.
  • Support for syncing Yahoo Contacts on older Macs: Similarly, to provide the best and safest experience, starting June 15, 2015, we are no longer supporting Yahoo Contacts syncing for devices prior to Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. If you use Mac OS X 10.7 Lion & earlier, you can continue to access your Yahoo Contacts through Yahoo Mail on their web browser.
  • maps.yahoo.com: The Yahoo Maps site will close at the end of June. However, in the context of Yahoo search and on several other Yahoo properties including Flickr, we will continue to support maps. We made this decision to better align resources to Yahoo’s priorities as our business has evolved since we first launched Yahoo Maps eight years ago.
  • GeoPlanet & PlaceSpotter APIs: For developers who use GeoPlanet and PlaceSpotter APIs, we are standardizing and consolidating our offerings by retiring these APIs in Q3. The functionality provided by these APIs are available today through Yahoo Query Language (YQL) and BOSS. Information on how to migrate the APIs is available on the websites forYQL (non-commercial usage with rate limited to 2,000 queries per day, per table, per app ID) and BOSS (commercial usage).
  • Market-specific Yahoo media properties: In the coming weeks, we will shut down some of our regional, genre-specific media properties to streamline our editorial offering. The content from these sites will be redistributed across the Yahoo network. Here are the affected markets and properties:
  • In mid-June, we will close Yahoo Music in France and Canada as well as Yahoo Movies in Spain. We will also close our Yahoo Philippines homepage and genre-specific media sites, and redirect to the Yahoo Singapore homepage.
  • At the end of June, we will close Yahoo TV in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Canada as well as Yahoo Autos in the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy.
  • In early July, Yahoo Entertainment in Singapore will close.
  • Yahoo Pipes: Pipes creation will not be supported as of Aug. 30 this year. Pipes infrastructure will run until Sept. 30, 2015 in read-only mode to help developers migrate their data. Please visit http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes for additional details.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 launched to the edge of space. #Samsung #GalaxyS6

Seems to be a common thing these days,but the team at accessories manufacturer Slickwraps, Inc. mounted the Galaxy S6 onto a box that was attached to a high-altitude balloon and launched it into the stratosphere. While up there, Slickwraps estimates that it faced “temperatures as low as -65°F (-54°C), and a maximum altitude of 122,264 feet.”

The phone makes it far enough up into the stratosphere where it looks like a scene out of the film Gravity before the balloon bursts and sends the device hurtling back toward Earth. The device crashed along with the box it was mounted on and it did indeed survive the impact despite encountering speeds of 110 mph along the way.
