Chrome OS and Linux Users Can Now Make Phone Calls From Skype for Web

However, the company has not made any official statement regarding this recent update. As to when an official statement will be made is unknown to us, but be sure to get an update from us ASAP.</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 20px; width: 770px;"> A simple sign-in procedure now allows you to make voice calls through Skype for Web. Earlier, only instant messaging support was provided to Chrome OS users through Skype for Web.</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 20px; width: 770px;"> Even though the audio calls can now be made via Chromebooks, video call support has not been provided to Skype for Web on Chrome OS as of now, according to a report by PC World.</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 20px; width: 770px;"> It's worth pointing out that some Chromebook users have the option of using Skype's Android app, it will have very limited appeal as very few Chromebooks are getting support for Android apps and Play Store.</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 20px; width: 770px;"> Last month, Android App and Google Play support came to Chrome OS-running Asus Chromebook Flip. Along with the Asus Chromebook Flip, Acer Chromebook R11 and Google Chromebook Pixel (2015 edition) are also expected to get the support for running Android apps.</div> In May, Chromebooks outsold Apple's Mac machines for the first time in the US, so they seem to be getting a lot of traction in the market.

How to access your Chrome apps without the apps launcher

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"> In March, Google put an end to its attempted invasion of the Windows desktop by killing the Chrome Apps Launcher for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The company said at the time it would remove the launcher in July.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3xqC8buOz30crsNoY_HOMhQvAfu597EA-w2Sc5CkIy91fhaeFHwCweNB9xZH41ksYmCaEUPKt9Yov5PAcZ9fOvF-2VOU1cOsLDvFqhsMjmvaAnObpsJdtY2QMq2Vs_rUIInVvkr80p28/s1600/chrome-launcher-in-use-100046778-large.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3xqC8buOz30crsNoY_HOMhQvAfu597EA-w2Sc5CkIy91fhaeFHwCweNB9xZH41ksYmCaEUPKt9Yov5PAcZ9fOvF-2VOU1cOsLDvFqhsMjmvaAnObpsJdtY2QMq2Vs_rUIInVvkr80p28/s640/chrome-launcher-in-use-100046778-large.png" width="640" /></a></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"> <br /></div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"> The app launcher was an icon on the Windows task bar that contained links to all your installed Chrome apps. The feature made it easier to get at your installed Chrome apps— say, Google Drive, Maps, or Gmail—without launching the full Chrome browser. Google said it decided to give up on the feature because most users prefer to launch Chrome apps from the browser anyway.</div> <div class="kioskedCustomVideoContainer" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; min-height: 1px; position: relative; width: 580px;"> <div class="kioskedSubChildVideoContainer" style="box-sizing: border-box; min-height: 1px; width: 580px;"> </div> </div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"> If you’re not clear on the difference, Chrome apps are not the same as browser extensions. Chrome apps are designed to function as stand-alone programs. They are built on the Chrome platform, but exist in their own window separate from the Chrome browser. </div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"> Now that July is here, it’s time to figure out how to maintain easy access to Chrome apps. </div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"> First, you want to make sure it’s easy to access your Chrome apps inside Chrome. By default, Google puts a shortcut called Apps in Chrome’s bookmarks bar. If you got rid of that bookmark because you were using the app launcher, it’s easy to get the shortcut back.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"> First, hover your mouse over your bookmarks bar and then right-click. Next, select the <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Show apps shortcut</em> option from the context menu.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"> The Apps shortcut should now be on the far left of your bookmarks bar. Whenever you need an app just click that icon and Chrome will open a new tab at <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">chrome://apps</em> where all your Chrome apps are listed.</div> <h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: facitweb, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-top: 1em;"> Chrome apps and the taskbar</h2> <div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"> Returning the apps shortcut makes it easy to access your Chrome apps in one place, but what about putting Chrome apps in the Windows taskbar? That’s still possible on an <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">à la carte</em> basis.</div> <aside class="nativo-promo smartphone tablet desktop" id="" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px; margin-top: 20px; overflow: hidden;"></aside><div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"> Let’s say you want to have Google Keep on your taskbar. Open a new tab in Chrome and navigate to <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">chrome://apps</em> or click the Apps shortcut. Next, right-click on Google Keep and select <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Create shortcuts...</em> from the context menu. Now click <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Create</em> in the pop-up window that appears.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"> You now have a Google Keep shortcut on the desktop, but we need to get it onto the taskbar by dragging it there with your mouse. Once that’s done, Google Keep will be accessible from the taskbar with no need to open Chrome first. If you want to keep your desktop tidy, just delete that shortcut—removing the shortcut from your desktop will not affect its usability on the taskbar.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"> Those are just two basic ways to get easy access to Chrome apps in a post-launcher world.</div> <div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7em; margin-bottom: 0.7em;"> <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/3092892/software/how-to-access-your-chrome-apps-without-the-apps-launcher.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div> </div> </div> <div id='subscriptionwrap'> <div class='subscriptionbox'> <h4>Ready To Be Make <strong>Elegant Blog</strong></h4> <p>Subscribe to KOKOCOMPUTERS to enjoy Free Tricks</p><center> <form action='http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify' class='emailform' method='post' onsubmit='window.open("http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=KOKOCOMPUTERS", "popupwindow", "scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520");return true' target='popupwindow'> <input name='uri' type='hidden' value='KOKOCOMPUTERS'/> <input name='loc' type='hidden' value='en_US'/> <input class='emailinput1' name='email' onblur='if (this.value == "") {this.value = "Enter your email...";}' onfocus='if (this.value == "Enter your email...") {this.value = ""}' type='text' value='Enter your email...'/> <input class='emailbutton1' title='' type='submit' value='SignUp'/> </form> </center> </div> </div>

How To Add Any URL To Your Facebook Saved Items List

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;">Two years ago Facebook introduced a ‘</span><a class="externalLink" href="http://www.addictivetips.com/web/facebook-bookmark-posts/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #09324f; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Save</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;">‘ feature that allowed users to bookmark or save for later content they found on the network. It let you save links, images, books, movies, pages, and music and mimicked Pocket to a great extent. It was however limited to only saving content shared on Facebook. If you found a link outside Facebook, you couldn’t add it to your list of Saved items. That’s changed as of two days ago; Facebook has released a bookmarklet that you can add to your bookmarks bar and use it to send any link on the web to your Facebook ‘Saved’ list.</span><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;">Visit the link at the bottom and drag and drop the bookmarklet on to the bookmarks bar. Browse the web and when you come across a link that you want to save to your Facebook account, click the bookmarklet. A new tab will open with the URL added just below a ‘Save to Facebook’ button. Click this button.</span><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" src="http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/save-fb.png" style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px; max-width: 100%;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;">Once the button is clicked, the link is added to your Saves on Facebook. A notification will appear at the top right telling you the link has successfully been added to your account. You can click the ‘View on Facebook’ link to see it.</span><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" src="http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/save-fb-view.png" style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px; max-width: 100%;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;">Any time you want to check the link out, click the ‘Saved’ option on the left bar, or navigate to the ‘Saved’ tab in the mobile app. It’s not the smoothest way to bookmark anything and the idea is hardly original since there are lots of online services that let you save bookmarks to the cloud. Facebook just has an edge over them because most people are usually always signed in. On that note, we should mention that you must be signed in to Facebook in order to save a link.</span><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><a class="externalLink" href="http://facebookmarklet.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #09324f; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Install The Facebook Save Bookmarklet</a><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;"><br /><br />Source: <a href="http://www.guruslodge.com/threads/how-to-add-any-url-to-your-facebook-saved-items-list.86921/#ixzz47Uk1Xtpp" target="_blank">ahhhhhhhhhhhhh</a></span></div> <div id='subscriptionwrap'> <div class='subscriptionbox'> <h4>Ready To Be Make <strong>Elegant Blog</strong></h4> <p>Subscribe to KOKOCOMPUTERS to enjoy Free Tricks</p><center> <form action='http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify' class='emailform' method='post' onsubmit='window.open("http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=KOKOCOMPUTERS", "popupwindow", "scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520");return true' target='popupwindow'> <input name='uri' type='hidden' value='KOKOCOMPUTERS'/> <input name='loc' type='hidden' value='en_US'/> <input class='emailinput1' name='email' onblur='if (this.value == "") {this.value = "Enter your email...";}' onfocus='if (this.value == "Enter your email...") {this.value = ""}' type='text' value='Enter your email...'/> <input class='emailbutton1' title='' type='submit' value='SignUp'/> </form> </center> </div> </div>

Save An Image From Google Image Search Results To Your Google Account

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;">Google Photos on Android has been update. The update now allows users to selectively sync photos from their device to Google Photos as opposed to having them all sync to it. It’s also made a small but very useful update to Google Image search. If you are signed into your Google account when you search for images, you can save an image from the results to your Google account. A Save button now appears next to the ‘View Image’ button when you preview an image result. It doesn’t seem to work just yet on local Google Image versions but is working on Google.com.</span><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;">Go to Google Image search and start looking for an image you need. From the results, click an image to open its preview and you will see the ‘Save’ button. Click it and when the star inside the button turns yellow, it indicates the image has been saved. You can view saved images via the ‘View Saved’ link.</span><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><a class="externalLink" href="http://www.addictivetips.com/web/save-an-image-from-google-image-search-results-to-your-google-account/attachment/google-images-save/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #09324f; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><img alt="[IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" src="http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/google-images-save.jpg" style="border: 0px; max-width: 100%;" /></a><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;">Image are saved </span><a class="externalLink" href="https://www.google.com/save/me?gl=us&hl=en" rel="nofollow" style="color: #09324f; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">here</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;"> and there doesn’t seem to be a way to access the link directly. You will likely want/have to bookmark the link itself if you’re looking for fast access. On this ‘Save’ page, you can add tags to the images that are added to it but you cannot sort them into folders. The images are of course not actually added to your account. Instead a link to them is saved which means should the image become unavailable at any point you won’t have a backup of it.</span><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;">The feature is pretty neat because it allows users to save images they find when using Google Images. You don’t have to open the actual image in your browser and you certainly don’t have to save the image to your local drive just so you can take a look at it later.</span><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;">Read </span><a class="externalLink" href="http://www.addictivetips.com/web/save-an-image-from-google-image-search-results-to-your-google-account/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #09324f; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Save An Image From Google Image Search Results To Your Google Account</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;"> by </span><a class="externalLink" href="http://www.addictivetips.com/author/fatima/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #09324f; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Fatima Wahab</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;"> on </span><a class="externalLink" href="http://www.addictivetips.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #09324f; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">AddictiveTips - Tech tips to make you smarter</a><span style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;"><br /><br />Source: <a href="http://www.guruslodge.com/threads/save-an-image-from-google-image-search-results-to-your-google-account.86922/#ixzz47Ujn6PoW" style="color: #003399; text-decoration: none;">http://www.guruslodge.com/threads/save-an-image-from-google-image-search-results-to-your-google-account.86922/#ixzz47Ujn6PoW</a></span></div> <div id='subscriptionwrap'> <div class='subscriptionbox'> <h4>Ready To Be Make <strong>Elegant Blog</strong></h4> <p>Subscribe to KOKOCOMPUTERS to enjoy Free Tricks</p><center> <form action='http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify' class='emailform' method='post' onsubmit='window.open("http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=KOKOCOMPUTERS", "popupwindow", "scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520");return true' target='popupwindow'> <input name='uri' type='hidden' value='KOKOCOMPUTERS'/> <input name='loc' type='hidden' value='en_US'/> <input class='emailinput1' name='email' onblur='if (this.value == "") {this.value = "Enter your email...";}' onfocus='if (this.value == "Enter your email...") {this.value = ""}' type='text' value='Enter your email...'/> <input class='emailbutton1' title='' type='submit' value='SignUp'/> </form> </center> </div> </div>

How To Selectively Sync Folders With Google Drive

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <b style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;">Google Drive</b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;"> is perhaps one of the strongest Dropbox competitors in the market right now. Being a Google product the app and its web version are just a bigger team for Dropbox to contend with. Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides are built to save documents to it. Given everything Google Drive has going for it, it might surprise you that up until a few days ago it lacked a very essential feature that Dropbox has had for ages; selective folder syncing. The feature basically lets you pick and choose which folders to sync to your desktop. As of a recent update, you can now select which folders are synced to your desktop when you first install the Google Drive app or you can select them later on. Here’s how to do both.</span><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive;"><b>Select Folders To Sync On First Install</b></span><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><br style="font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Fugaz One', cursive; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13.97px;">When you download and install Google Drive for the very first time, you’re asked to sign in to your Google account and then taken through a very brief tour. On the very last tour slide named ‘You’re all set!’, you will see a ‘Sync options’ button at the bottom.

Google Nexus 5X review

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIoJxv7C7Q_wH_tNEGzdWVi3Cv9OjeM4q0mrhmOtHKgs4oJa6CSipep1X8RN_Dh0mG4VJTJoqCrfqZkW7YiflpUshDjIobgTSleW8eSjrOzvWc3tLZSxYf5i9FqOZ57mJ2IrzXOc6HBKI/s1600/google-nexus-5-review-9jalinks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="390" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIoJxv7C7Q_wH_tNEGzdWVi3Cv9OjeM4q0mrhmOtHKgs4oJa6CSipep1X8RN_Dh0mG4VJTJoqCrfqZkW7YiflpUshDjIobgTSleW8eSjrOzvWc3tLZSxYf5i9FqOZ57mJ2IrzXOc6HBKI/s640/google-nexus-5-review-9jalinks.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Nexus 5 was undoubtedly a great smartphone, offering excellent performance, decent design, and good build quality. It was not the most powerful handset when it was launched, but it got the job done, more importantly, at a price that did not burn a hole in the buyers' pocket.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Its successor Nexus 6, however, was hardly fit to take over the position as the best Google had to offer: It is certainly a powerful device, but the huge screen and the equally big price tag prohibited buyers to flock to the new Nexus model as they did to its predecessor.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Now is the turn of Nexus 5X to give it a shot at becoming the best smartphone offered by Google yet, at a relatively modest price tag. On the face of it, the smartphone has a lot to offer, but it also has a few limitations that may prevent it from becoming a hit.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Find out exactly what the device is all about in our Google Nexus 5X review...</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Design</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">From the outset, it is clear Nexus 5X is not going to win any design awards. The all-plastic body is made of the same soft plastic material that was previously used in Nexus 5 (and a few other smartphones).</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The front panel has the standard Nexus design, featuring a selfie camera above the display and no hardware buttons. Above and below the Nexus 5X screen are speaker grilles; however, only the one at the bottom acts as the loudspeaker.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><img src="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/photo/49563654.cms" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The back panel feels ever so slightly rubbery if you hold the handset with a slightly strong grip. The camera hump on the back does not look good, but some people in the office did not mind it as much as we did, so this is more of a personal taste. On the left of the camera are the laser transmitter for faster autofocus and the dual-LED flash. Below the camera setup is the Nexus Imprint fingerprint sensor. Just below the sensor are the Nexus and LG branding.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><img src="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/photo/49563647.cms" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The Power and Volume buttons are on the right of the smartphone, while the 3.5mm earphone jack and USB Type C port are at the bottom. On the left is the sim card slot, while a mic is located on top.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">One of the most remarkable things about Google Nexus 5X is how light it is: just 136 grams. This makes it lighter than the new iPhone 6S, which is a feat worth noticing because Nexus 5X's battery capacity is much bigger than that of the new iPhone.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Complementing the lightweight body is the compact form factor, which enables users to wrap their hands around the Nexus 5X with ease. This form factor and ease of wielding the handset more than make up for the plain design.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Display</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Google Nexus 5X has a 5.2-inch screen with Full HD (1080x1920p) resolution, resulting in pixel density of 424ppi. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass 3; notably, some other smartphones have been using Gorilla Glass 4 for quite some time.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><img src="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/photo/49563663.cms" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">In terms of quality, the display panel is crisp and does not suffer from pixelation. The IPS panel reproduces colours quite accurately, but if you are not happy with the colours there is no native support way to change the colour temperature.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">However, there is one issue with the Nexus 5X display panel: Brightness. We found the brightness levels offered by Nexus 5X to be insufficient compared to those of other smartphones in the same price band. Fortunately, this does not affect the readability of the screen much under direct sunlight.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Hardware</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Google Nexus 5X is powered by the six core Snapdragon 808 processor (four high-power 1.44GHz cores + two low-power 1.82GHz cores) that also powers the Moto X Style and LG G4 smartphones. Backing up the processor is 2 gigs of RAM, which we feel may prove insufficient, but more on that later.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The 4G-enabled smartphone has a 2,700mAh battery with fast-charging technology; but remember, this is not Qualcomm's QuickCharge 2.0 technology, even though a Qualcomm processor powers the smartphone. Also present is the USB Type C port and the compatible reversible adapter in the box, a first for a Nexus device.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><img src="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/photo/49563685.cms" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">On the imaging front, Nexus 5X packs a 12.3MP camera on the back and a 5MP snapper in front. For storage you can go for either the 16GB variant (Rs 31,900) or 32GB model (Rs 35,900); there is no microSD card support for storage expansion. For connectivity, you get Bluetooth 4.2 and NFC as well.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Of course, Nexus 5X is also the first Google smartphone to feature a fingerprint sensor, named Nexus Imprint.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Software</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Nexus 5X is the first smartphone to be released with Android Marshmallow, the latest version of Google's mobile OS, onboard. The software brings a bunch of new features, but does not radically change the look the same way Lollipop did a year ago.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">While there is not much of note on the homescreen, you will notice the app drawer/menu now has a single, long scroll instead of the multiple pages that you had to swipe through. We have seen this setup previously in old Motorola smartphones (the pre-Moto G models) and all HTC smartphones.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><img src="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/photo/49563675.cms" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The Nexus 5X software has a separate tab for frequently used apps in the menu on the top, just below the search bar. This search bar is all-powerful; you can look for apps straight from this bar and if the app is not downloaded on the phone, then the menu provides the option to search for it in Ply Store.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">To be clear, these features are actually part of the Android 5.1.1 build, but very smartphones have this version of Lollipop and even fewer retain the stock Android look.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Head to Android 6.0 Marshmallow's Settings menu and you will find pretty much the same stuff, but digging a little deeper reveals a few goodies. Nexus 5X has a LED notification light, but it is disabled by default; you need to go to the Sound & Notification menu in Settings and hit the Pulse Notification Light button to turn it off.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">In the Apps menu, you get the option to deny or allow permissions sought by apps individually. The Memory option shows you exactly how much memory was used by apps, but doesn't allow you to control it.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><img src="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/photo/49563690.cms" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Under Security, you will find the Nexus Imprint fingerprint setup; storing your fingerprint on the device is extremely easy and much faster than the process used on Samsung, OnePlus and other Android smartphones and even quicker to setup than the new iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><img src="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/photo/49563701.cms" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Android Marshmallow also allows you to customize the Quick Settings menu in the notifications bar.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><strong style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Performance</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">In the week we spent with the handset, we found that Nexus 5X is not the fastest model in the market, but it is no slouch either. It gets the job done, and gets it done without a hitch. The system improvements brought about by Android 6.0 Marshmallow help the Snapdragon 808 processor and 2GB RAM to deliver a performance that is completely free of lag and glitches.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Nexus 5X handled all the apps and games we threw its way with ease, delivering a consistently smooth experience throughout. However, the smartphone starts heating up around the camera and fingerprint sensor even with casual gaming (happened to us on Relic Run).</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">However, we still feel that the 2GB of RAM may turn out to be insufficient in the long run (in case you plan to use your Nexus 5X for 1.5-2 years). With Android apps getting heavier in size even without 64-bit apps hitting the market, just 2GB of RAM may not be enough to handle the load. Throughout the week, we noticed that the RAM consumption stood at 1.5GB on an average, so we foresee a lot of 'Out of Memory' messages for Nexus 5X users when apps start hogging more system memory.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">The 2,700mAh battery delivers a decent battery life of just over a day with moderate usage and a little under a day with heavy usage. This is a little surprising to us, since Google says its Doze and App Standby features can increase battery life by up to a hundred percent and we have seen smartphones by the likes of Samsung and LG deliver better life with the same battery capacity via software optimizations.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><img src="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/photo/49563727.cms" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">USB Type C, which we have also used in OnePlus 2, is pretty convenient due its backwards reversible design. The Nexus 5X smartphone supports fast-charging with the bundled charger, which charges the handset in 1 hour and 10 minutes flat (on an average after 5 tests). Sadly, the bundled charger has USB Type C connecters on both ends, which means you cannot use it to transfer data to your laptop. If you want to, you need to buy a mother USB to USB Type C cable from Google separately.</span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Source: <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tech/reviews/Google-Nexus-5X-review/articleshow/49563447.cms" target="_blank">TIMESOFINDIA</a></span></div> <div id='subscriptionwrap'> <div class='subscriptionbox'> <h4>Ready To Be Make <strong>Elegant Blog</strong></h4> <p>Subscribe to KOKOCOMPUTERS to enjoy Free Tricks</p><center> <form action='http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify' class='emailform' method='post' onsubmit='window.open("http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=KOKOCOMPUTERS", "popupwindow", "scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520");return true' target='popupwindow'> <input name='uri' type='hidden' value='KOKOCOMPUTERS'/> <input name='loc' type='hidden' value='en_US'/> <input class='emailinput1' name='email' onblur='if (this.value == "") {this.value = "Enter your email...";}' onfocus='if (this.value == "Enter your email...") {this.value = ""}' type='text' value='Enter your email...'/> <input class='emailbutton1' title='' type='submit' value='SignUp'/> </form> </center> </div> </div>
