Googly pls

I will not use chromecast over airplay on an iOS device

 

[littlegrasshopper]

Im lost/confused I got distracted by the Steam Summer Sale. What are the new features of Chromecast that they are talking about now?

 

[PhantomHound]

Er... do people really need to waste more electricity by having photos on their tv all the time?

 

[Talon]

We're going to give you a new way to waste electricity.

 

[KarmaCow]

They really like to focus on extremely small niches like people who want to leave their TV on for cycling pictures.

So is this it, no new Chromecast hardware?

 

[D4Danger]

can I get a matrix code screensaver to complete the 1999 experience?

 

[Omzz]

backdrops, gamechanger

 

[TheAbsolution]

We're going to give you a new way to waste electricity.

This lol.
Who the hell leaves their giant TV on all the time?

 

[infiniteloop]

It came out in 2011.

right, but this one had updated rosters, hence new.

 

[Somnid]

I don't get this, much less why it warrants so much talking. What a terrible waste of energy.

 

[blazeuk]

People are being paid for these ideas.

 

[Ensirius]

They were doing good, then they stopped talking about L.

 

[Talon]

right, but this one had updated rosters, hence new.

EAs been updating the app pretty regularly.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

LOLOLOLOL 2 the only google+ photo albums for uses of your own photos................................

that is just ..,.... I can't even.....

 

[zert]

I honestly don't need anything they have announced so far.

 

[RedBullEnergy]

Have they done all the phone stuff already?

 

[Skytylz]

Googly pls

Doesn't airplay require the device to remain connected for it to work?

 

[Totakeke]

You have all these brilliant people employed at Google developing all these niche stuff just because there's no better things to do.

 

[Altazor]

yeah, Google. How about I keep my electricity bills manageable, hm?

 

[Junior Mint]

Googly pls

I already do. Apple TV is useless to me.

 

[kudoboi]

wouldn't this burn my TV over time?

 

[e_i]

MIRRORING! GREAT GOD IN HEAVEN! MIRRORING!

 

[nature boy]

Again, is Google really serious about these use cases?

Really out of touch.

 

[MightGoThere]

Yes screen sharing from the phone. Really missed that.

 

[Somnid]

Of course you built a new protocol. No money in open industry standard Miracast.

 

[tirminyl]

This lol.
Who the hell leaves their giant TV on all the time?

I do. I don't have cable but I come home, turn the tv on, and I may cast music to it, then play a couple of YT videos friends sent throughout the day, cast a video from my pc and then it may sit for an hour playing the slideshow.

Sometimes I don't turn it on at all, No different than if I actually had cable and used it for strictly background noise.

This just means I waste electricity.

 

[PhantomHound]

Google Guy: Hey y'know how people work 8 hour jobs from 9-5 and come home and watch tv for 5 hours until they go to bed? Let's make an energy wasting screen saver so they can have it on while they sleep and go to work... hur hur

 

[VoxPop]

androidsexcam confirmed

 

[thenexus6]

Casting your complete phone is awesome! Video apps without chrome cast support can now be viewed !

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Yes to mirroring, finally!

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Device mirroring seems interesting.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Casting your complete phone is awesome! Video apps without chrome cast support can now be viewed !

This at least.

 

[Battlezone]

I love how they were throwing shade at Apple for incorporating things in iOS that were in Android years ago, and now are thumping their chests about enabling mirroring to Chromecast.

 

[Chris R]

I wish my TV had just one more HDMI port I have to swap my Chromecast in and out.

Chromecast ver 2.0 or whatever with full power over HDMI port would be killer (or just fucking build it into the TV...)

 

[RoadHazard]

No new Chromecast? I want one, but I don't want to buy one now if an upgraded version is coming soon.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

We're going to give you a new way to waste electricity.

I think about this all the time. There was a brief period where we were making a huge deal about "vampire electronics", and how all our stuff in standby is leeching power to a huge impact.

Now we just expect that our 3DS and Wii U gamepad is always on the charging cradle, and that we should have a wireless charging mat that is always soaking up electricity.

 

[JonnyBrad]

Really out of touch.

Its what you get when programmers come up with ideas.

 

[Altazor]

a stupid question: what's the actual difference between Chromecast and Android TV, then? Will one make the other obsolete?

 

[Talon]

So I guess Android TV and Chromecast will exist concurrently.

 

[Technosteve]

Can you develop for Android on a chrome book?

 

[PhantomHound]

Aside from the awesome looking new Ui this conference has been really underwhelming. Im much preferring apple's continuity approach to google's very fragmented use of their software across many devices.

Edit: oh wait never mind its happening!!!!

Huh, a HDMI switcher? You can get one on Amazon for $10.

 

[Dead Prince]

pixel refresh please.
looks like we are getting close to talking about new phone right? right?

 

[Skytylz]

Its what you get when programmers come up with ideas.

Or are told to add new features to keep busy.

 

[FinKL]

It only took a year, but I'm glad they finally got around to Phone to Chromecast mirroring.

 

[Konosuke]

Dat success pun

Get a HDMI switch. I use one and it's fantastic. Has a remote too and auto-switches to the active source.

This one:

Android TV includes Chromecast functionality.

I assume Android TV devices will be about 5x the price.

 

[KarmaCow]

Yea I'm in the same boat.

 

[Jzero]

One comes built in.
