Discover #RemixOS 2.0, Android for your PC By @VicenteA_George #Android #PC #OS

For quite a time now we’ve had Chrome OS the system used to run Android on a PC like environment.

But sometimes it feels short when competing against monsters like Windows or Mac OS  and then is when this newly additions enters the scene.

Discover Remix OS 2.0

What is it?

Is an Android based operating system, design to offer the best of both worlds, the almost unlimited selection of app the Google Play Store has at your disposal and a almost full desktop experience you’ve dreaming of.

Remix OS has it all:

 

  • True Multitasking 
  • A Taskbar 
  • A Notifications Center
  • Full Keyboard commands
  • A working Right-click
  • A File Manager
  • Full suite of Google Play apps
  • Future software Updates

This OS has being developed by the Jide team, previously known for making pretty good Android tablets and its built upon the Android x86 initiative.

And they have made a pretty impressive system, worth notice! This is not a public software, although is available for everyone from Jide’s page, for the moment is meant for developers as is still on “Alpha”.

But if you’re interested on this, you’ll be able to dual boot Windows/Mac and “Android” on you PC, the best part of it is that you can even install the OS on a pendrive us booted up directly from there!

On Remix OS you’ll have two offerings, the well known Google Play Store and their own “Remix Store” for full compatible apps.

Everything on the OS looks really well design, but has a strong influence from Microsoft’s Windows 10 like the Notification Tray

All future software updates will hit the place you have destined for it, and it’ll run on most PCs without a particular OS version needed it, which is pretty awesome.

Obviously this desktop software attempt is really solid, but is has the occasional bugs and it won’t replace you current fully working (in most cases) OS.

Are you interested in try it out?  you can go over HERE

Sony has just updated the Camera App on the Z5 Line up By @VicenteA_George #Sony #Camera #XperiaZ5

Today is a great day! After several years Sony has finally decided to update their Camera App but for now, just for the Z5 Line-up

The version has jump to 2.0.0

This is something most of the reviewers and users have been begging for since quite a time now, though I personally found the Sony camera UI really clean and simple is truth that now maybe is “too simple”

Well, apparently the complaint made it to Sony’s ears and now we have this.

Now you can now simply swipe to switch between the main camera modes like Superior Auto, Manual, Video and Xperia Camera apps.

 

According to some users the start-up time has been reduce, but apart from that, there’s no such a different in quality or processing speed.

So if you are expecting manual controls like Lumia or LG you’ll have to wait another update (in the best scenario)

As a bonus, we have now check that if you are rocking a Z3+ you’ll also be able to install this new version, but previous generations will need root.

For updating, just go to “What’s new?” on your devices and look for the update.

Meet #Mizu, world’s first personalized restaurants menus by @Tiwaash #Food #Dublin #iOS

Hey folks, we have something special for the foodie lovers in Dublin. We were approached by a dynamic guy, who was bubbling with new concept and ideas to help people find where and who offers, what they are looking for… Curious?? Well we were too to know what exactly Youssef Sarhan, Designer and Co-Founder Mizu had in his mind.

Read on to know what’s here for people who love to eat out from Mizu.

What is Mizu?
We all have a very different taste and diets. Some of us love chicken, some of us think it’s boring. Some of us love pasta, some of avoid it while others prefer to stay vegetarian. So, here is where this new idea of Mizu came up.

Well, Mizu is a new mobile app for iPhone which understands your taste and diet.

When you download Mizu, you tell the app what you do and don’t like to eat – this helps Mizu understand your taste and diet and match you with great nearby food. “Think of it as a dating app for food, the perfect relationship” says Youssef.

Once you’ve told Mizu what you do and don’t like to eat, Mizu shows you a list of great nearby restaurants – complete with opening hours and directions. Isn’t that great? Mizu is being your Personal Assistant to your taste buds.

When you browse a restaurants menu on Mizu, dishes are presented in an order which matches your taste and diet. So, this makes finding the perfect dish super fast. Say for example, if you like chicken, chicken dishes are filtered to the top, and if you don’t like pork, pork dishes are pushed to the bottom. This is great for customers and businesses. Everyone wins! You know what and where you want to eat and businesses know what to offer to you.

Mizu comes with a learning algorithm, which gets better the more you use to make it offer you the best options. Mizu also integrates your social networking sites where you can share the dish or it even allows you to rate or comment on a particular restaurant, so your friends and family know what you liked our didn’t like at the particular restaurant.

Mizu is a totally unique concept, nobody is doing anything like this in the food-tech space yet.

Mizu is a start up based in Dublin, Ireland and they are looking for expansion and proposals. This wonderful app is exclusively available to iOS at the moment, which can be downloaded here. We wish the team a very good luck for the future.

Let us know your on this revolutionary experience of browsing restaurant’s menu in the comments below or tweet us using #TechBuzzIreland.

Book your own Private Jet with just your smartphone thanks to @JetSmarter By @VicenteA_George #App #Jet #IOS #Android

Have you ever dreamed of having your own Private Jet? Well, maybe you can’t own one just yet, but! Now you can have one anytime you want with JetSmarter.

Founded in 2012 by Sergey Petrossov (@spetrossov), JetSmarter has 6 offices across the globe, and flights into over 170 different countries. The company has deals with about 800 private jet owners and pilots.

You can find the app on the Apple Store and Google Play Store, is free and anyone who registers can book a flight. But the membership option, (which costs $9,000 annually) offers significantly lower flight prices, exclusive events, loyalty points and a gold plated (24-karat) membership card.

JetSmarter also has an “empty legs” (flights that need to make a trip from point A to point B for logistical purposes, but have no one on them) feature that allows members and non-members to fly privately at extremely discounted prices. (It’ll be costly though)

Imagine something like Uber, but in the sky.

 

There are tons of features on this app, let’s take a look at some:

JetDeals: One-way flights that are exclusive to JetSmarter allowing a custom experience for each and every one. The app will automatically pair these flights between your desired destinations.

JetShuttle: Search from hundreds of scheduled flights, find a time that works for you, book a seat and you are on your way.

JetCharter: Customize your own itinerary, choose the right aircraft and immediately book the flight.

All of this can be used (as every single feature of the app) by non-members, but having a membership has its perks:

$0 JetDeals (2,500+ monthly)
Book FREE seats on JetShuttle flights.
Discounted JetCharter pricing (up to 70%)
Complimentary Helicopter rides to/from New York area airports.
VIP Private events for members.

24-karat gold membership card.

In October 2014, the company made a huge step forward, announcing its partnership with GlobeAir, one of Europe’s most prominent private jet companies.

And this year, received lots of investments even from
the Jay Z and the Saudi Royal Family.

Take a sneak peek:

You can download the app here: Android, IOS
