The Tracktor – Seiki Digital SE39UY04 39-Inch 4K Ultra HD 120Hz LED TV

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/28

Not only wow because this is cheap (though only 4K via HDMI at 30Hz as it is using HDMI 1.4).

But also wow because I didn’t know about The Tracktor.

But 28 inch might be a better fit to field of view, and come closer to my Retina MacBook Pro resolution (which is normally either at 1920×1200 or 2800×1800).

But it looks like neither of them are IPS. Bummer. Maybe wait until august.

Google Now Launcher for KitKat (Android 4.4) via: Android – Google+

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/28

I just installed the Google Now Launcher on my Nexus 4 that runs KitKat (Android 4.4) from the AppStore.

Looks nice, though I could not get “Call Brother” configured (it thinks there are 3 entries for him, and selecting any of them does not make a selection).

But being able to start voice stuff with one click less is convenient.

Now hopefully the battery duration won’t be affected by another piece of software.
