Google Releases Mirror API: You Can Make Glassware — They’re Glass Apps!
Google isn’t holding off when it to Glass, and why should they? That’s why the Mirror API has been released: it’s basically an online resource of comprehensive documentation, complete with example code for developers who want to add apps to the Glass interface. The only weird thing going on here is that the application programming interface is still in a limited developer preview, but still, that won’t stop devoted devs.
Oh, and what is a Glass service called? Google says you should call them “Glassware”. Not bad, actually.
In a quick email to Google Glass developers and Explorer program members, the first Google Glass units are being rolled out in batches and shipped out, within a few weeks. As Google put it in an email to upcoming receivers of Glass, “we’re seeing the first few devices come off the production line right now.”
It’s everything that the higher-end F.R.E.Q. 7 is, except it opts for 5.1 surround sound instead of the newer 7.1 surround sound technology. Same build, feel, microphone, equalizer settings, and design, just $50 less expensive than the $200 F.R.E.Q. 7. For pro gamers, the F.R.E.Q. 5 is an excellent headset for those of you looking for great sound quality, with a solid microphone to record commentary. Similarly to the F.R.E.Q. 7, the FREQ 5 is a GameSmart headset — basically, you get a USB cable and a 3.5mm audio jack cable for your computer and phone, respectively.
So, besides being offered to only celebrities and select top-tier Twitter users, the #Music page remains mostly a mystery. However, thanks to some curious minds, we now know that it’s a webpage that integrates with YouTube, Vevo, Spotify, Rdio, iTunes, and SoundCloud; all for the sake of social media and music.
Samsung now has two phones that are larger than the 5.5″ Galaxy Note II: the Galaxy Mega 5.8 and 6.3, both bound or release in Europe in May. The Galaxy Mega 6.3 has a 6.3-inch 720p display, LTE connectivity, 8GB or 16GB of storage, and a 1.7GHz dual-core processor, while the 5.8-inch model has a qHD display, HSPA connectivity, 8GB of storage, and a 1.4GHz dual-core processor.
It’s just as expected: Google’s Glass Explorer Edition for developers who pre-ordered the gadget will begin to see shipments of it ”within the next month.” It falls in the right timeframe: Google I/O occurs from May 15th to 17th, will include focus on Google Glass, which during or afterwards developers would gain access to, followed by the contestants from the “If I Had Glass” campaign, followed by press and consumers, later this year.
People all over the world will see it in the next few weeks, but what matters most is that the new Google Play has a clean, fresh look. So clean in fact, that Google has booted several thousand spam apps, just so that the image is functionally curated and efficient.
Samsung’s offices in Asan, South Korea were recently raided by police who were tipped off to find stolen LG OLED TV technology. Strangely (or maybe not), LG denies having tipped off anyone to conduct the raid, and Samsung is on the defensive: 
Because almost every Adobe update for Photoshop, Flash, or anything else requires an update to receive the update that actually fixes something or adds new features. This is also a funny comic, so it had to go up here.
