Cover for Android changes your lock screen with everything you need as you move

Last week, its Aviate which is an alternative Android launcher that dynamically changes apps and widgets based on the time of day or where you are. The app is in a closed beta right now, but i can tell you it is a solid app, and it has replaced Nova as our default launcher since it came out. Now, Cover is aiming to do the same thing, but with your lockscreen.

The idea is essentially the same. Cover will learn where and when you use certain apps, and will automatically add those links to your lockscreen. The really interesting thing is the presentation, because Cover is aiming to be completely seamless. This means it lists your favorite apps on the left and as you drag the icon to the right, you will see the app you're opening sliding in. You can even just peek in at an app and not open it all the way. Additionally, Cover adds in a multitasking bar that pulls in from the right and looks quite a bit like the Ubuntu Touch launcher. 

Unfortunately, just like Aviate, Cover is in a closed beta, and you will need to request an invite in order to use the app. There are no invite codes to be shared, so I can't help you out on this.

1. Tiny (But Powerful) Hardware

It’s amazing how the Project Glass team has managed to squeeze all of its features into a tiny ‘computer’ supported on a lightweight yet strong frame.

Google Glass is packed with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, speakers, a camera, microphone, touchpad andpossibly a gyroscope that detects head-tilts. Then there’s the main piece, a tiny screen the size of your finger, that shows you all the information you need at your finger tips.

Nvidia Takes On Screen Stuttering With G-Sync

If you’re a PC gamer, you may have heard of the term V-sync. It works by delaying the image frame update until the vertical blanking interval of the display, so that there is no overlapping of frames that leads to screen tearing. While this does eliminate screen tearing, it causes performance issues with low framerate and a jerky mouse response. This leads to most people choosing to keep it disabled to get higher framerate and response at reduced visual quality.

The problem today is that LCD monitors usually have a fixed panel refresh rate of 60Hz and unless the GPU is attaining anything other than 60fps, the result is less than ideal performance. Current V-sync technology makes the GPU run through hoops to match its speed with the display’s refresh rate. This is where NVIDIA’s G-SYNC comes in.
