I spend a lot of time combing over the day’s news to find the best tidbits to bring you… but not everything makes it to the website.
So I share some of those stories on our Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ pages. If you’re not already following Liliputing in social media, here are some of the stories you might have missed.
- QuickOffice for Android is now free for Google Apps for Business customers
Google bought mobile office suite QuickOffice a while back, and hasn’t really done much with it… until now. While QuickOffice still costs $14.99 and up for most Android users, if you have a Google Apps for Business account you can use it for free. [Android Police] - Digg is building an RSS reader, wants to know what features users need/want
With the announcement that Google is shutting down Reader, a number of companies are stepping up to the plate. One of the bigger names is Digg, which is building its own cloud-based RSS reader. Want to influence the outcome? Let Digg know what you’re looking for. [Digg] - Why so Blue? Next Windows update may actually be called Windows 8.1
The next-gen version of Windows which has been known up until now as Windows Blue may actually be called Windows 8.1 when it hits the streets. That should make it clear that this is a pretty minor update. In the past it probably would have been called a service pack. [ZDNet] - AMD Trinity chip clock speeds can sometimes drop below default levels under stress
This one probably sounds more dramatic than it is — like most chips, AMD’s new Trinity processors can adjust clock speed depending on what you’re doing… but under some circumstances it looks like they run slower than you’d expect them to. AMD has acknowledged the situation. [X-Bit Labs] - Samsung working on 5.8 inch, 6.3 inch Galaxy Mega devices?
Samsung won’t stop until it’s got a media player, phone, or tablet with every conceivable screen size. These two may just be rumored for now, but given Samsung’s history, it seems inevitable that we’ll get phones with these screen sizes eventually. [SamMobile] - Ouya $99 Android-powered game console unboxed by Engadget
The first Ouya game consoles are shipping. And the first unboxings are happening. If they’re not happening in your living room, you can live vicariously. [Engadget] - USB flash drive that works with full-sized and microUSB ports seems cool… but $48 for an 8GB model seems a bit high
I like the idea of this USB flash drive with a removable attachment that lets it work with full-sized or microUSB ports so you can transfer data between a PC and smartphone without a USB cable… but the prices seem pretty high. [Laptop Magazine] - Roundup of fanless PCs based on Intel’s NUC (Next Unit of Computing) mini-desktop platform
Tired of listening to CPU fans on big computers? Here’s a roundup of fanless computers based on Intel’s tiny NUC platform. [Fanless Tech]
