YouTube – 60fps Live Streaming now supported on YouTube in HTML5 #YouTube #HTML5
YouTube launched 60fps video playback a few months ago and people have enjoyed it,now they have launched 60fps Live Streaming.
60fps live streaming, launched today as an early preview on HTML5-compatible browsers. When you start a live stream on YouTube at 60fps, it will transcode your stream into 720p60 and 1080p60, which means silky smooth playback for gaming and other fast-action videos. .
Also added another long-requested feature for live streaming: HTML5 playback. As of this week, YouTube live streams will use an HTML5 player in supported browsers. And because our HTML5 player supports variable speed playback, you can skip backward in a stream while it’s live and watch at 1.5x or 2x speed to catch back up.
Vodafone Ireland loses 37,000 customers. #Vodafone #Mobile #Ireland
The mobile market today is very competitive and with the recent deal with 3,Vodafone still remains on top with 3 being the 2nd largest provider in Ireland and with more MVNOs launching soon the competition is only set to stiffen up. Today we are using more data than ever and this seems to be where seeking deals as we use data more than ever and there is some gap in prices and allowances.
The evening herald reports….
Vodafone lost 37,000 Irish mobile customers in the first three months of the year and 110,000 mobile customers over the last 12 months, according to its most recent set of financial results.
The company remains Ireland’s largest mobile player with 2 million customers and 38pc market share here, and gained 7,000 landline customers in the quarter.
Vodafone’s Irish revenue fell 2.6pc to €936m. Its international revenue posted a modest rise in its quarterly sales measurement for the first time in nearly three years.
Twitter and Google team up for real time tweets in google search. #Google #Twitter
Starting today, U.S. users searching in English will see relevant Tweets in their search results within the Google app (iOS and Android) and mobile web. The desktop web version is coming shortly, and we have plans to bring this feature to more countries in the coming months.This enhaces search results for those searching on the both platforms bringing the latest news up right in google search.
On a blog bost it says…
For example, if you’re interested in hearing more from Taylor Swift, a quick search on Google will pull up her most recent Tweets. Or, if you’re a TV buff, a search for#MadMen will bring up the most relevant news and Tweets about Sunday’s series finale.
When tapping on a Tweet in Google search, you’ll be taken directly to Twitter where you can view the Tweet and discover additional content.
By deeply integrating Twitter’s real-time content into Google search, we hope you find it easier than ever to explore your interests across both Twitter and Google.

LG announces two new members of the G4 family, the G4 Stylus and G4c. #LG #Tech #Mobile
LG have announced some more new devices not so long after the release of the G4 ,we now have two more models to the line up making it affordable with some of the G4 looks and more,these will be a nice addition to the current portfolio.
The G4 Stylus is a 5.7-inch handset, slightly larger than the 5.5-inch display found in the G4. As its name implies, The G4 Stylus includes LG’s versatile Rubberdium™ Stylus, allowing for easy note taking and drawing on the generously-sized screen. Its smaller sibling, the 5.0-inch LG G4c, offers many of the G4’s premium features and styling but in a more compact form factor.
Both G4 Series phones feature 13MP or 8MP rear cameras and 5MP front-facing camera for high quality photos and portraits. Other popular LG exclusives such as Gesture Shot, Glance View and Knock Code™ make both devices more convenient, secure and fun to use. The G4 Stylus inherits the super-fast Laser Autofocus feature found in previous G Series smartphones for sharply focused shots even in dim surroundings. HD quality IPS displays with In-Cell Touch technology deliver a visual experience that is far more immersive and responsive than on most other smartphones in this class.
“The G4 Stylus and G4c are perfect examples of what we mean by a premium smartphone experience without a premium price,” said Juno Cho, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “We are committed to offering consumers in fast-growing markets LG devices that not only deliver performance, but also look good while doing so. Both the G4 Stylus and G4c will surpass customers’ expectations of what an LG phone should be.” The G4 Stylus (available as G Stylo in North America and Korea) will be offered in both LTE and 3G configurations in Metallic Silver or Floral White color options. The G4c is an LTE model only and will come in Metallic Gray, Ceramic White and Shiny Gold.

LG G4 Global roll-out begins shipping in key markets #LG #G4 #Android
The LG G4 has started shipping to key markets but will Ireland be one of them ? Like the past few devices from LG which no operator touched here its yet to be seen if it will actually launch here in Ireland,as the G Flex 2 has not been seen,the same applied to the G3 which was a great device.
We do hope to see the G4 here and some operators show some love as LG have upped their game over the last two years and on many of our local forums people are screaming for the devices.The devices themselves are quite nice and a worthy device to have on Irish shelves.
SEOUL, May 18, 2015 — Customers in key markets around the world will finally get their chance to own the latest advanced smartphone from LG Electronics (LG), one which industry experts have widely praised for its exceptional camera, vivid and expansive display, and willingness to set new rules in defining what a premium mobile device could be.
LG G4 will begin rolling out this week to consumers in key markets around the world, continuing throughout the month into June and beyond as more retailers and operators see what LG G4 has to offer their customers. Starting in Hong Kong, the G4 will follow with rollouts in Turkey, Russia and Singapore, eventually including most of Europe, North America, CIS, Southeast Asia, Middle East/Africa and South/Central America. Approximately 180 carriers and retails are already on board as G4 partners.
