"Super Video"- Tablet app review

Today, I would like to share an Android TABLET app with you guys. The name of the app is "Super Video, Floating and Popup". It is basically a unique video player, which plays videos in a pop up screen, as seen below:

Yes, you can resize the screen of the player, just by holding the corner and dragging it. You can also move the pop up screen anywhere just by holding it and moving it. This way it won't block your screen. With this awesome app you can do whatever you want in the background while watching a video at the same time. You can browse the web, send emails or do whatever you want while watching your favorite movie on your "ANDROID" tablet. 

{This app shows the power of android and I bet there is no iOS app like this, because it doesn't have the capacity to do "Real Multi-tasking"......NO offense but this is the TRUTH}

The only  regret that I have is that you can only see those videos with this app, which are installed on your Tablet. I wish a future update would include a feature through with we could also watch YouTube videos on a pop-up screen. Wouldn't that be more cool?

DOWNLOAD THIS APP FOR FREE

Android - An Open Source Platform

[Note: This article is not written by me, see the name of the writer below]

If you’re like me interested in modifying you phone to the max, the most important thing is the code, why you ask me … well for one the code gives you an insight into the inner works of the software and is the key to any kind of modification, superficial  or core one, android has always been an open sourced platform that publishes it’s source through its open source project page where developers and even hobbyists can check it out and contribute bug fixes and suggest improvements https://androidreview.googlesource.com/#/q/status:open,n,z

All is fine then….but:
Being open sourced the OEMs have the right to modify vanilla android “nexus android for the non techies” and add their skins that very from design changes to libraries recording, similar to drivers, all of these changes result in the new firmware flocking away from the vanilla configuration so any type of proper modification is going to require much more work to first decipher the code and then be able to modify it. The source code acts as a blueprint to the alien code thus giving developers more freedom.

A personal experience:
I’m no developer but I’ve up-close with some of the most developer unfriendly devices, galaxy SII and SIII, ask any cyanogen mod maintainer the biggest problem they face and they immediately tell you the lack of source and documentation , team hacksung the cm maintainers for the galaxy family of devices have declared they weren't planning to buy or maintain the SIV http://forum.xdadevelopers.com/showpost.php?p=39255132&postcount=27 as they've long suffered Samsung’s unwillingness to publish code ,yes they publish code… but it doesn't contain anything useful to the developers : a hole topic on the subject here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929188, not to mention other firms not even offering any code.


The GPL fraud:
All of the manufacturers that adopt android as their operation system are required to comply to the terms and conditions of GPL licensing while all of them pretend to comply only a few really do, Sony for example,  while it’s the gnu project’s responsibility to review the status of the firms and decide to grant them the license or withdraw it, it is also the consumers responsibility to boycott these firms until they start to follow the terms as boycott is and will always be the consumer’s single greatest weapon.

What it means to the average consumer:
Source availability virtually unlimited firmware updates, your phone will no longer be bound by the latter most firmware that your manufacturer decides to ditch your phone at , I meant your Motorola and htc, all thanks to the magical power and efforts of the developers.

Things you need to know in order to start a Website!

Well, if you want to start a free website, then this article is not for you. You can make free websites/blogs through many sites that provide free web hosting and domain to you. These sites include, the Google's blogger.com, wix.com, webs.com, etc. The disadvantage of make free websites is that they will actually provide a sub-domain to you, which will will working under their domain.For example, www.mywebsite.blogspot.com or, www.webs.com/mywebsite, instead of giving you your own independent domain (www.mywebsite.com). Well, you can buy your own custom domains from them, but still it would cost you more. The other disadvantage is that, these sites will be hosting your website server, and they have full rights of shutting down the website. So, WHY NOT HOST YOUR WEBSITE THROUGH WEBHOSTING COMPANIES like bluehost.com or hostgator.com.


1) Getting  a Domain, and Web-hosting:
Now, domains are very cheap, and they will cost you about $10-$13/year. Hostgator.com gives you a custom domain for $12.95/year. This is not a lot! They provide web-hosting in different packages, and their average rate is about $7.95/month. Yes, web-hosting is $7.95 per MONTH. There are many other websites, which can give you good offers during certain time periods. Currently, Bluehost.com is offering the cheapest webhosting for only $4.95/MONTH and they are also giving a free domain, it means that you don't have to pay an extra $12/year for domain. That's a pretty good deal. So, let talk how we can get web-hosting and domain from bluehost.com:

• First, go to Bluehost.com .

• Click on Sign Up to get signed up with bluehost.com
• Choose whatever package suits you; if you are a beginner, I recommend choosing the $4.95/month plan.
• After this you'll be asked to choose your domain.
• Lastly, when to pay, they will provide you with all the details about your website. You'll be given access inside your website, to edit and post stuff.
• Now, all you have to do is download a website designing software like WordPress to design your website; this leads us to step 2.

2) Downloading WordPress and designing website:

Now that you have your own website with a custom domain, and a company that is providing web-hosting for you, you can start setting up and editing your website. In order to do that follow the steps:

• Note: don't go to wordpress.com and download WordPress, you need to link WordPress to your website and in order to do that you have to download WordPress from your website account. 
• You will be provided by a username and password from bluehost.com to access your website's managing page, here you will be asked to download WordPress, and this will automatically link WordPress to your website. Note: Installing and signing up for WordPress is completely FREE. 
• After, you install WordPress on your website, you will be emailed with a WordPress username and password, which you can use to access your WordPress account. 
• You are good to go, as you have a custom domain, a web-hosting company and a software to design websites.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK IN THE COMMENTS AREA.

Thank You!

Galaxy S4 experience on Any Android (Wave Control app)

Everybody wants to get their hands on to the upcoming Samsung's Galaxy S4. The reason might be simple, just because of its new features which includes, an eye sensor, through which a video will automatically paused if you look away from the screen and will play again (automatically) when you see towards the screen. Pretty Cool! Another awesome feature is that now you don't have to touch your smartphone's screen to swipe up and down, or left and right. Simply, wave your finger on top of the screen without even touching it and the S4's sensor will sense the movement of your finger and perform the required task.
You can experience a part of this new feature on any android smartphone, with the help of a free app called Wave Control. Of course, you won't be able to have full control like, S4. But, still it's a great experience, as you can swipe your finger across the screen to play, pause and change songs. This is not it, you can do much more; apart from controlling your music, you can also control your video playback and call with the paid version, so go ahead an download:
