Thanks for fixing the camera firmware on the GS4, Samsung. No more crashes, quicker loading and still an excellent camera...

Samsung just pushed a 384MB update to my international unlocked i9500. Seems on first glance to have fixed some of the camera problems. Also unrooted my phone.

802.11ac is cheetah fast
I've been playing with the new Macbook Air. And I'm blown away by the increased speed of 802.11ac. This is using the new Apple Airport Extreme (the old Extreme is on the same network in WDS mode - doesn't seem to slow it down): http://www.speedtest.net/result/2780564154.png

I gave thousands of dollars to help elect +Barak Obama and voted for him twice, but it's becoming clear that he has betrayed our trust and tarnished the liberal principles of openness and freedom that he pretended to espouse.
Mr. President, you owe us an explanation, at least, of why your administration has chosen to become the most paranoid since Nixon's.

GOOD MORNING!
OK I have discovered one downside to the Philips Hue internet connected LED lights. We had a short power outage last night and when the power came back all 9 Hue bulbs turned on at full-max brightness. At 1:48a.

GS4 Camera Problems
I've pretty much settled on an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S4 on T-Mobile as my daily driver, but there's one problem and I'm wondering if it's only me.
The camera is really slow to start and about 1 time in 5 causes a hard reboot of the entire device. It's especially problematic when I open it from Path, but the problem happens all the time.
Are you having trouble with the GS4 Touchwiz camera app? Is there something better?

What's it like to TD a show at TWiT through Google Glass
I recorded my POV while I did my Technical Director duties for last Friday's episode of +Tech News Today. Watch, if you dare. This is what it's like to be the TD for the show. (But compared to this video, I get a bit less of the sea sick feeling when I do it IRL.)

200Mbps Internet for $50? No wonder +Om Malik looks so good
Last night on TWiT +Om Malik revealed that his San Francisco apartment has 200mbit symmetric Internet access for $50 a month!
The company that provides this, http://webpass.net, in only available in a few California cities, and I'm sure it only makes business sense in densely packed high-rise apartment complexes, but still... want!

Stuff and Non-Sense
I love the hardware on the HTC One, but HTC's Sense 5 is just annoying the hell out of me. I'll miss the Zoe function, but it's time to install a new ROM. Unlocking the bootloader was easy, thanks to HTC (H/T), and rooting just took a few steps thanks to The Cult of Android (http://www.cultofandroid.com/26527/rooting-the-htc-one-the-right-way-how-to/) but now to choose a ROM.
Looks like Trickdroid is the only one people are using in any numbers (there's a CM 10.1 but it's pretty new). Here goes nothing!

A few unretouched images from the HTC One - bright sunny day with lots of contrast. Good color reproduction. Pro tip: either turn off Zoe or turn off G+ auto-upload. My photo stream is loaded with images - about 15 images per Zoe shot.

I had such high hopes for the HTC One, and, indeed, there is much to love about this phone but here I am with the battery dead and it's not even 3p. Worse I've been charging it today whenever possible. Fail. Utter fail. Sigh.

The Oculus Rift is very responsive, but there are a few negatives. It doesn't fit over my glasses, and the resolution of the imagery is pretty low. Still VR head gear has made significant strides since I first tried it 20 years ago.

Not too long ago, the video tape was the media of choice for living rooms around the world. In celebration of the 57th birthday of the first commercial video cassette recorder, check out a fun VHS mode for the YouTube player to relive the magic feel of vintage video tapes. On select videos, you'll find a VHS button in the bottom right of the player--just click to turn back the clock and enjoy the static and fuzzy motion of the VHS era.

Thanks to NBC for retracting your YouTube takedown of our TWiT Special on the making of Old Spice's commercial. Now can you explain to me why you objected in the first place?

Neverwhere on the air
Neil Gaiman's radio adaptation of Neverwhere began last night on BBC 4 starring Benedict Cumberbatch. After a little digging I found a podcast of it - the first episode is downloadable March 22. I'm hoping they'll post all six!
Neverwhere was originally a TV show, then a novel (which I loved) but Neil says he always wanted to make it a radio drama most.
