Buy Google Glass Today In The U.S.
Posted in: Today's Chili
We previously reported that it was possible Google might allow everyone to purchase a Glass unit this week. The report was later confirmed by the company. Anyone can buy Google Glass in the U.S. today provided that they reside in the country, customers will need a U.S. shipping address. No, Google hasn’t publicly released its hotly anticipated wearable gadget yet. Its merely expanding the Explorer Program, so Google Glass units are only being offered today.
Since its selling Explorer Edition units, customers will have to pay Explorer Edition prices. If you want to pick up a Glass unit today be prepared to shell out $1,500. Customers will be able to choose colors and a free accessory such as a frame or shade of their choice. Additional accessories like earbuds, a charging kit and carrying case can also be added to the order.
Once the order has been placed, Google promises that it will ship your unit within five to seven business days. Customers that want to use Glass with prescription lenses will need to buy them for the unit as a separate item. Glass fans outside the U.S. are out of luck. Google hasn’t said when it plans to expand the Explorer Program outside the country. It may not even do so, considering the fact that the public release of Google Glass is expected later this year anyway.

Most folks would know by now that Google Glass will be sold to the masses today, as long as stocks last and you having at least $1,500 in loose change somewhere. This is a precious 24 hour window period that should see the total number of Google Glass owners increase exponentially, and we are also especially pleased to hear that the tech giant too, has announced that Google Glass will be on the receiving end of the Android 4.4 KitKat update sometime later this week.
Just what will Android 4.4 KitKat bring to Google Glass? Well, it will introduce a bunch of new features, and at the same time, remove an important existing feature. Android 4.4 KitKat will enable Google Glass to enjoy a longer battery life as well as faster performance, with developers given the ability to write Glassware (also known as apps) thanks to the most recent SDK and APIs.
Photo Bundles would be another new feature that one ought to take notice of – this wearable headset will be able to group your photos, videos and vignettes in bundles, making life for you easier and quicker if you happen to scroll through them. The other features will include the sorting of voice commands by frequency, alongside an option to reply with pictures in Hangouts conversations, among others.
Do bear in mind that after the Android 4.4 KitKat update, Glass will lose its ability to carry out video calls. Bummer! [Press Release]

Gmail Gets New Insert Photo Button
Posted in: Today's Chili
Most of us use our smartphones these days to capture plenty of images on the move, as carrying around a DSLR is just not as convenient. There is also the option of a Micro Four Thirds camera or other system cameras too, but those too, require you to tote around another device which might end up as inconvenient. Thankfully, the smartphones of today do come with far better photo-taking ability than before, and are ideal for most ordinary shots. For those who love snapping photos with their smartphones, you will be pleased that Google wants to help save your time by letting you insert your Auto Backup photos from your smartphone into Gmail messages on the web, thanks to the new Insert Photo button.
Whenever you click on the button, you will be able to access all of the photos in an instant, where they have been backed up from your mobile devices, beginning with the most recent content. Should you opt to upload and organize your photos into albums on Google Photos, you will also be able to share the whole album without any worries. Apart from that, you are also able to resize images as you compose messages simply by dragging on any corner to ensure that your snapshot is picture perfect.
Have you already made use of these new features in Gmail on the web? It is supposed to have rolled out today, and if you have not given it a go, do remember to turn on Auto Backup, where you can then include photos easily from your latest adventures in emails to family and friends. [Press Release]
