Google's Chromecast is a tiny HDMI-dongle that is actually a media streaming accessory. It plugs into any HDMI port on your HDTV and has its own power adapter. Once you assign it to your WiFi network, you can use any Android or iOS mobile device as well as any PC or Mac to stream YouTube, NetFlix and Google Play videos, photos or music.

Facebook seems to be taking out a few features from both its purchased business and main application. The social network site will be taking out the option for users to opt out of being searched by others on the website. The removal of the “Who can look up your Timeline by name?” has been taken out for those who wanted to a few months ago. Now, all users can't hide themselves for Timeline search. If you want to avoid being searched by others, you are going to have to block them individually.

Google will be revamping its Play Store for tablet users starting November 21. Tablet owners will first see “Designed for tablets” apps when they browse the top lists on their devices and those apps and games that do not meet this criteria will be labeled as “Designed for phones.”
Google is announcing this change a few weeks in advance to give developers a chance to optimize their apps for tablets. If you’re an Android developer, you can check the Tablet App Quality Checklist to see if you meet the criteria.
