Game of Thrones Crashed Indian Streaming Site Hotstar

After striking an exclusive deal with HBO as the only streaming service in India to bring Game of Throne (uncensored) to viewers, Hotstar reportedly crashed when the very first episode of season 7 aired. Hotstar is a video streaming service site owned by Star Network, a popular Indian television network, and it is available on web and mobile devices.

Charging less than Netflix, Hotstar not only have the rights to stream Game of Thrones, but also have access other popular HBO shows such as Last Week Tonight and The Newsroom. Although the streaming service in India isn't as evolved as in Europe and the United States, but companies see potential in the future due to the large market India provides.

Samsung Patent Shows Smartwatch with Camera in the Center of Display

Last November, Samsung filed a patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a smartwatch with camera in its center. In this published yet only recently picked-up patent, it appears that the watch's camera would be built directly into its display and features an optical zoom.

Similarly to the quick access apps on Samsung's Edge panel, the smartwatch makes use of a wristband display with controls to open things like Settings, Gallery, Email, Music, and Alarms. Bizarre ideas, but with Samsung's release of its foldable display technology in the near future, this wristband could definitely be seen. However, as always, patients aren't proof of actual product development. And this type of design has no guarantee that will reach commercial availability. 

Cool New App

A new Android app I discovered last week is called Donald Draws. This recently launched app quickly caught lots of attention on the Android side, because this app is Android exclusive for now. The creator haven't conformed any announcement on Apple's App store.

Donald Draws Executive Doodle is a GIF creator with Donald Trump holding an open, blank U.S. executive order folder facing the cameras. Users can either add photos, draw or type texts on the folder. Check out some of the funny photos below to get a better understanding of this app.
