what's happening Bryant on here and welcome to Google issues for everything google that we could pack inside of a show each week so let's get to it now lots of google news this week and we start off with the chromecast the googs recently announced a public sdk for their digital media streaming stick allowing developers to build support for casting and android chrome and even iOS apps and websites now the chromecast already supports the main services like Netflix Hulu HBO Go and Pandora and recently announced support for Plex and a few others but it's still pretty slim pickings compared to the roku and Apple TV and this is going to help bring more content to the table very very soon now Google glass is growing up fast while we wait for its official launch after they unveiled for new frames from what they called a titanium collection they are super light frames made out of guess what titanium to counter the weight of the google glass add-on and are compatible with prescription lenses now the glass hardware will be able to attach the side with a single screw and two different clip on sunglasses will be available as well so you could look even cooler in the clubs or not now the frames will also be covered by vision care provider VSP they're available through google for 225 and the stunna shades will be one hundred fifty dollars and that's without the glass system now the g unit also has released five new minigames for glass in hopes that developers will be inspired to create games for the system they include tennis balance clay shooter matcher and shape slicer gaming with glass looks kind of coolant it would be pretty simple at first because of the available screen real estate but i would advise not playing any of these in the public if you want to meet normal friendly people or just women and following up on google's mystery barge project that Cena was the first to get the scoop on and has been speculated to be everything from a google glass retail store or an interactive space to learn about tech to even a party boat for events while a california state agency says google must move its mystery barge from its construction site on Treasure Island because it doesn't have the right permits now once the project was revealed construction has been going off in on Google can resume activities by moving the barge to a fully permitted construction facility in the San Francisco Bay but then it would be easier to see what they're actually doing which Google doesn't want see gooks it actually does kind of suck when you have someone looking over your shoulder knowing what you're basically doing at all times when you don't want them to and since our last show you probably heard that google recently sold motorola mobility a group they acquired in 2011 and is now selling it to lenovo 42.9 1 billion dollars lenovo will use the acquisition and motorola name to continue their strong push into the smartphone market that has been a success overseas one piece that was not part of the deal was the advanced technology and projects group that will remain with Google's Android team now this is the group most well-known for the project are a modular phone and it's a concept that we've been excited to see come together and the good news is that the group will continue their work and other projects like security tattoos and biotech sensors I actually have one of these tattoos but I can't show it to you because my mom watches the shoe all right let's check out some quick hits buya the android based gaming console will bring a new 16 gig 129 dollar model that's double the storage in the color matte black and will also bring improved Wi-Fi performance improvements and controller enhancements as well the console was received with lukewarm reviews in the game library really needs to significantly improve to make it a compelling purchase so we'll see what they're up to also HTC's new flagship phone the m8 has been outed by the ever so reliable eveleigh for a late March release with the launch in New York City now remember sites have been pointing to Mobile World Congress in February so we'll have to wait and see how that shakes out and some more cool League shots of the red nexus 5 iphone i actually want to get my hands on with an internal notice from sprint that says we could see it on februari the fourth now it's the perfect gift and the colour of love for that someone special on valentine's day and who gets a new smartphone for someone on Valentine's Day i'm guessing the same people who buy someone a car for christmas so all right guys you may not get a phone but Google Isha's is going to hook you up with some killer cases from our friends expect products for the samsung galaxy s4 and the HTC One now have three cases for each phone do the math that six winner winner chicken dinners all you guys have to do is tell me what picture I used in last week's episode when I talked about Samsung's Galaxy glass plans because I care
