10 Android Apps at SXSW

10 Android Apps at SXSW

1. Thread

Thread aims to answer the "Which Mary is it?" or sometimes, "Who did I ever meet named Chester?" when a caller's name pops up in your smartphone display. It's kind of like a Rapportive for your phone.
Download on Android

2. Augment

For most, furniture is a rare and expensive purchase, which means you'll teeter between options and possibly never buy because you're "just not sure" it's the right one. Augment aims to help you make this decision with its augmented reality app, which will show you what a couch will look like in your house. Pretty nifty.
Download on Android, iOS

3. GroupMe

GroupMe allows people to send text messages within groups and at this year's SXSW, launched two new features: sending money and sharing photos. Other apps such as Venmo have offered something similar which goes to show how much easier managing money can be when it's digital.
Download on Android, iOS

4. Jifiti

Have you ever wanted to exchange physical items when talking with a friend far away over Skype? Well, you can't teleport that burrito quite yet, but you can purchase a gift for a friend as if you're in the store together.
Download on Android, iOS

5. Memoto

Google Glass's price tag might be outside your reach, but soon you could use a key feature with Memoto, a wearable device that snaps a picture every 30 seconds. The companion app will organize photos for you.
Android and iOS apps will be available when the device ships in April.

6. Zumper

Zumper is a new apartment search tool that connects landlords with tenants via a map. The app is location aware and all listings come directly from brokers.


7. Plympton

Plympton publishes serialized fiction. You can subscribe to read each installment via email on your mobile device, or you can buy novels through Amazon and read them in the free Kindle app.
Download through Kindle on Android, iOS

9. Docphin

Medical professionals spend much of their time with patients rather than behind a computer. This app will provide the information they need on a mobile device. It's sort of like a news reader for the medical field.
Download on Android, iOS

GE GAS18PSJSS Top Freezer Refrigerator with Autofill Pitcher review:

 GE GAS18PSJSS Top Freezer Refrigerator with Autofill Pitcher review:  Get automatic water pitcher fill-ups from this top-freezer fridge The Good The Autofill Pitcher is a unique feature that works well and seems practical for daily use -- a rarity with top freezers. Despite the plain-looking design, the fridge feels sturdy and well-constructed. The Bad Storage space is cramped to begin with, let alone with the Autofill Pitcher taking up space on the top shelf. Cooling performance was also pretty unexceptional. The Bottom Line The Autofill Pitcher is a borderline ingenious fridge feature, but the GAS18PSJSS isn't well-rounded enough to be a top pick. for price and more click here

Your next iPhone might be able to protect itself from thieves

Your next iPhone might be able to protect itself from thieves Apple is considering ways to empower the iPhone with active protections after being stolen, according to a new patent application. What if your iPhone could help actively protect itself, even after it's been stolen? That potential idea was considered in a new patent application Apple filed Thursday with the US Patent & Trademark Office.  According to the application, which AppleInsider wrote about, a future iPhone may -- when triggered by the right circumstances -- start documenting an alleged thief's fingerprints through the Touch ID home button, picture and videos from the cameras and even voice from the microphone. Such capabilities, while perhaps legally questionable, could go much further than Apple's current lock screen and Find My iPhone app. An Apple representative didn't respond to a request for comment.

Intel Compute Stick review

Intel Compute Stick review  ntel's Compute Stick, an entire PC crammed into an HDMI stick that fits in the palm of your hand, is nothing short of a landmark in computing. Fifty years of Moore's Law, which states that the number of transistors that can be crammed onto an integrated circuit doubles every two years, has resulted in a little plastic stick that plugs into any HDMI-equipped TV or computer display, transforming it into a full-fledged Windows 8.1 PC. Just don't get any crazy ideas about gaming on it — or, indeed, doing any intensive amount of multitasking — and the Compute Stick isn't half bad. I tested out the $150 Windows 8.1 version with a 1.3GHz Intel Atom quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. There's a microSD card slot on one side for additional storage expansion, and a full-sized USB 2.0 port and Micro USB port on the other for power. The Ubuntu 14.04 LTS OS model is physically identical — a black stick w...
