LG announces the G Pro 2, with a 5.9-inch display, 3GB RAM and 13-megapixel camera

lg pro1 520x245 LG announces the G Pro 2, with a 5.9 inch display, 3GB RAM and 13 megapixel camera

There have been plenty of rumors and leaks, but LG has now made the G Pro 2 official after announcing details of its latest flagship smartphone today.

The device looks much like its predecessor — the G Pro — and it comes with the latest Android 4.4 (KitKat) operating system, is powered by a 2.26 GHz quad-core processor from Qualcomm. It is slightly wider and features a 5.9-inch full-HD display — larger than the G Pro’s 5.5 inches — with a 1920 x 1080 resolution. There’s a 13 megapixel camera on the back, while the front-facing snapper comes in at 2.1 megapixels and has its own flash. Under the hood is 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage — naturally there’s space for a micro SD card to boost that.

Available in white, red or titan grey, the G Pro 2 features a bundle of propitiatory LG software, including a range of video and photography features like 4K ultra HD video capture, post-capture ‘magic’ depth focus, and 20-photo burst mode. LG made its ‘Knock On’ tap-to-power-on feature standard across its devices, but the G Pro 2 takes that a step further with ‘Knock Code,’ a feature that lets users active the display by tapping one of up to 86,367 programmable combinations.

There’s no date on when the phone will launch, but LG will be showing it off at Mobile World Congress next week. Stay tuned for a closer inspection from TNW at the show.

Astronaut Mae Jemison on interstellar travel: ‘We can’t do this with just half the population’

Posted In: Around the Web, Insider, Videos

At the MAKERS Conference on women leadership this week, Google[x] VP Megan Smith, astronauts Cady Coleman and Mae Jemison and Harvey Mudd President Maria Klawe took the stage to discuss the importance of increasing the number of women in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields.

Jemison, who is the first African-American woman to go to space, emphasized that, as women become a greater part of STEM education and industries, it’s important for women to be in the room “helping to make the choices.”

She talked about her involvement with the 100 Year Starship project, which aims to send humans on an interstellar journey in the next 100 years, and how an endeavor of that magnitude must be a team effort.

“We can’t do this with just half the population,” she said.

Jemison continued with a quote from authors Will and Ariel Durant: “The future never just happened. It was created.”

“We have an opportunity to create the future and decide what that’s like,” Jemison added.

Ahem.

BEHOLD!

Sub InstantPivot()

‘   InstantPivot: Just Add Water
‘   Assign this to Ctrl + Shift + P or something like that.

‘   Description:    * Turns selection into Excel ListObject
‘                   * Makes a Pivottable out of it at the edge of the used range
‘                   * Applies my preferred default settings
‘                   * Selects the Pivot and cuts it, so that
‘                     Dick Kusleika can then use arrow keys
‘                     and Control + V to paste it where he wants
‘                     without having to touch that unclean dusty rodent
‘                     he keeps at the edge of his Desk.Usedrange
‘

‘Here’s the settings it applies.
‘   1.  Changes the Report Layout to "Show in Tabular Form"
‘   2.  Turns on  "Repeat All Item Labels" option
‘   3.  Turn off Subtotals
‘   4.  Turn off Grand Totals
‘   5.  De-selects the Row Headers option from the Design tab.
‘   6.  Turns off ‘Autofit Column Width on Update’
‘   7.  Turns off ‘Save Source Data with file’ option.
‘   6.  Adopts the source formatting

Google will block local extensions in Chrome 33 for Windows, disable existing ones not in the Chrome Web Store

Feb12
by Sindy Cator on February 12, 2014 at 9:50 pm
Posted In: Apps, Around the Web, Google, Insider

Google today announced it will block local Chrome extensions on Windows as of version 33. As a result, Windows users will only be able to use extensions for the company’s browser that they install from the Chrome Web Store.

In a FAQ, the company is reminding developers how exactly this change will affect their projects:

  • Users can only install extensions hosted in the Chrome Web store, except for installs via enterprise policy or developer mode.
  • Extensions that were previously installed, but not hosted on the Chrome Web Store will be hard-disabled (i.e the user cannot enable these extensions again), except for installs via enterprise policy or developer mode.

Google originally announced the policy changes in November, saying they would go into effect in January. Chrome 33 beta was indeed released last month, but the stable version won’t arrive until later this month or even early March.
