    Does Hulu Plus consider the Chromecast a mobile device? Can i now watch shows restricted to PC?

    Example: "Project Runway" and "Modern Marvels" They can't be found from the Hulu Android app on smartphone or tablet. If you log into Hulu Plus on a PC web browser, you can find these shows. It will say "We currently don't have the rights to make this show available on your TV or mobile...

    Verizon Note 2 not on Verizon network can never be OTA updated?

    I know all 150+ employees in my company now have AT&T. On my phone's contact list, I have 38 family members. 31 have AT&T or T-Mobile. 5 have US Cellular. 2 have Verizon, but those two live in Portland, which is 2000 miles away from me. :( The last category are friends and drinking...

    Why isn't the Note 2's top status bar not transparent even with Android 4.3 update?

    Why isn't the Note 2's top status bar not transparent even with Android 4.3 update? (like how it it on the Galaxy S4.. see picture at the very bottom) picture from phonearena.com with the leaked Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 update: S4

    Verizon Note 2 not on Verizon network can never be OTA updated?

    I have a Verizon Note 2. Since day 2 of owning the phone, I have been using it with my AT&T SIM card for voice/text and 3G data. During the last two OTA updates, my Verizon Note 2 would NOT update because it had to be on Verizon network. My solution was to borrow a Verizon 4G LTE SIM card...

    Does Hulu Plus consider the Chromecast a mobile device? Can i now watch shows restricted to PC?

    My co-worker just tested it. The answer, unfortunately, is NO. :( Videos that play fine on the PC cannot be streamed on mobile device via Chromecast. I guess Hulu doesn't have the rights to do so.

    Why do so few people know what a Chromecast is? What if it has the Apple logo on it?

    in the mean time, consumption of apples have gone down steadily over the last 5 years, according to the apple association.(the lobby group for U.S. apple growers) :D

    Why do so few people know what a Chromecast is? What if it has the Apple logo on it?

    Why do so few people know what a Chromecast is? If I stand in the middle of Time Square in New York City and ask 1000 random people, I'm willing to bet that less than 1 percent will know what a Chromecast it. On the other hand, if the Chromecast has the Apple logo on it, thousands will...

    Does Hulu Plus consider the Chromecast a mobile device? Can i now watch shows restricted to PC?

    True... but I'm hoping the Hulu Plus will be smart enough to make the distinction. (yeah, I know... wishful thinking :) )

    Does Hulu Plus consider the Chromecast a mobile device? Can i now watch shows restricted to PC?

    Clearly the Chromecast is NOT a mobile device, since it has to be plugged into the back of a TV. Unless people have started walking around with 50" LCT TVs. :D :D :D I'm just wondering if today's update allows the Chromecast to stream shows that Hulu Plus blocked for mobile devices(phones...

    If I ditch my Note to and upgrade to Note 3, will I notice a big improvement in speed?

    He said it's because the Note 3 has 1080p screen, which is "true HD" so the sound will be clear... and dialing will be easier because the dial pad will be easier to see.

    If I ditch my Note to and upgrade to Note 3, will I notice a big improvement in speed?

    He(the VZW manager) said even regular voice calls to other Verizon customers will sound better because of the faster processor.

    does it seem like Google has practically abandoned the Chromecast after only a month?

    does it seem like Google has practically abandoned the Chromecast after only a month? No news apps has been released since day one. (which is the date I bought mine) Outside of Android/Google/Chrome forums, I doubt many people even know what a Chromecast is.

    If I ditch my Note to and upgrade to Note 3, will I notice a big improvement in speed?

    I can't wait.... A Verizon Wireless corporate store manager who has played with the Note 3 during training told me that the Note 3 played YouTube videos much faster and the picture looks clearer. He also said with the Note 3, Verizon will now do OTA update just as fast as any other U.S. carrier.

    If I ditch my Note to and upgrade to Note 3, will I notice a big improvement in speed?

    If I ditch my Note to and upgrade to Note 3, will I notice a big improvement in speed or smoothness? (on apps that I use daily, such as Netflix, S-Note, Chrome, Chromecast, Google Maps, TomTom navigation, Spotify)
