Last week, Disney announced their much-anticipated streaming service in Disney+. While the name isn’t the best or most creative thing in the world, make no mistake: this will be a content service to be reckoned with. When you think about the vast properties under the Disney umbrella, it becomes apparent very quickly that tons of […]

Just last week Apple loosened its ecosystem death grip on Apple Music by allowing their app to finally work on Chromebooks.

Continue ReadingGoogle Is Officially Killing Chromecast Audio
Ah, Chromecast Audio: the peculiar cousin to the vastly-popular Google Chromecast that never really managed to find a solid footing in the market. While being a fantastic add-on to traditionally “dumb” speakers, the Chromecast Audio never really caught on for the general public.

The Chromecast experience on Chrome has been largely the same for quite some time. They’ve slowly changed small features and layouts along the way, but it seems a pretty significant overhaul is happening with the Casting interface.

Black Friday is safely in the rearview mirror but that doesn’t mean you can’t find the perfect deal for your holiday shopping list. Most retailers will continue to offer discounts through the end of the day tomorrow similar, if not the same, as Friday’s deals. Cyber Monday has become almost as big as Black Friday […]

Multi-room audio is nothing new, especially if you are a seasoned Chromecast user.

It’s a great feature and likely underused by most consumers and until recently, not available on […]

Google was pretty late to the Podcast game, but when they showed up, they brought a pretty decent app and service with them. Google Podcasts is a simple, clean and functional podcast player that gets a lot right and then just gets out of the way. In our recent travels, being able to download a […]
Continue ReadingFantastic New Update Coming To Chromecasts New And Old
With the relatively quiet launch of the 3rd generation Chromecast, many of us were wondering what – if anything – is the advantage of buying a new Chromecast. While there’s a mysterious inclusion of a Bluetooth radio in this new Chromecast, it is still not clear why it is there.

I frequently share my general dislike for Best Buy because of their general lack of knowledge and seemingly inherent disregard for Chromebooks but man, they have become the place to go if you want to see a product before it’s released to the public.
