Bing Search Engine is getting to be very popular for most people. Although it isn't exactly like Google Search Engine, it can give you give information at your fingertips too.  Not only that, but Bing will reward you for searching for things using its search engine.  Now having Snapshot on Tap will earn you even faster points using your Android phone or tablet for mobile searches.  The Snapshot on Tap is quite similar to Google's Now On Tap feature that is in Android 6.0.  But Bing beat Google to spot by releasing their version today.  All you have to do is download Bing Search app on the play store and browse the web and hold down the home button to activate the Bing feature and you will see what all information is related within the article or topic browsing. You get a pop up as shown the above picture. This function should be able to work with any app and in your texting apps as well.

There has been so much to cover in the land of Google since Google's I/O just a couple weeks ago. Android M doesn't seem to be a let down to the masses at all.  As there have been some hidden features and hidden secrets come to the surface of what it can really do! Well if you not familiar with Google Now on Tap feature that is in the Android M Developer Preview edition, this function will give you all sorts of information that it detect in a message, email, or even within another application on your mobile device.  Although this function isn't available to everyone right now, there is a function out there now that is very close to this.  The function is called " Touch to Search".  You are able to see this work in action using your Google Chrome app on your mobile device.  I will have images and video to show you in the break below.  So, tell me, is this feature and function any good to you all?  Do you think it will help you in the long run?

HBO NOW is out on Apple TV and iOS Devices


                                                 HBO NOW available on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and Apple TV

A month ago, Apple and HBO had announced this great partnership.  HBO app was coming to iOS and the Apple TV.  Unfortunately, this is a exclusive deal only.  So if you do not have a Apple device such as the Apple TV or iPad or iPhone, then you are out of luck.  This will be great for on the go and for people that do not use cable or DirecTV.  Maybe this will be the break out of the quote "Cut the Cord" or "Cut the Cable".  Now with the HBO Now, all you would need to watch it is internet access or Data such as 4G and LTE.  There is a subscription for this great app. You sign up first, if you haven't already, then you try it out for 30 days. After your 30 days are up, then you will be paying $14.99 per month for HBO.  For this and the price, do you think it is worth it?  Is this enough for you to stop paying for cable and DirecTV? Do you already not have NetFlix, Hulu and Crackle accounts to watch all the movies and best originals? What about the Amazon users, Androids, and Windows users? How do you all feel about the HBO NOW being only available on iOS and Apple TV? I'm sure you all have a lot to say about Apple and HBO.  Well, don't just sit there. Drop them comments below!
