How to customize the lock screen on the LG G3
7/18/2014 10:57:38 AM
LG lets you tweak the G3 lock screen to get it just how you want it
As far as lock screens go LG has long made some of the better OEM efforts. That trend continues with the new G3 and it doesn’t end with what you see out of the box. There are a bunch of different options available to tailor your G3 lock screen experience from wallpapers to widgets via app shortcuts.
It’s incredibly simple to change up what’s on your lock screen. Everything is contained within one handy menu, and to get at it you’ll need to head into Settings > Lock screen. Then the fun stuff can begin.

Stock Talk: Google earnings show there’s still plenty of room for growth
7/18/2014 8:41:31 AM
But if there’s one company it needs to look out for, it’s Facebook
Google on Thursday reported its second-quarter results for fiscal year 2014. We already posted a brief summary of the numbers, and now it’s time to dive a bit deeper. Let’s the the disclaimers out of the way: I’m a Google shareholder and have been for many years. I’m optimistic on the company’s outlook and while I will continue to hold my shares (probably for many more years), I’m not recommending any specific actions to anyone else.
While Wall Street loves to micro-analyze quarterly results. I prefer to look at them in the context of long-term growth. From the angle of an investor (rather than a stock trader) I am quite satisfied with the company’s performance and opportunity set going forward.
Analysts expected Google to post $15.6 billion in revenue compared to the $16 billion it actually reported. So that’s a small positive surprise. But on the earnings line, analysts thought Google would post $6.24 earnings per share (EPS) while it actually posted $6.08. This is about a 3 percent shortfall relative to the best guess of the analyst community, so it’s hardly a big miss. What matters to me is that Google posted 22 percent growth year-over-year. Google has been posting results like this quite consistently, which tells me Google continues to be well-managed in a world where there is plenty of opportunity for the company to take advantage of.

Samsung managers voluntarily return part of bonuses prior to quarterly report
7/18/2014 4:47:42 AM
Almost 200 Samsung managers have opted to voluntarily return a quarter of their first-half bonuses in a bid to help mitigate the upcoming quarterly report, which will show a decline in profits and consumer demand. Samsung itself is facing some issues with slowing market growth and heightened levels of competition from the industry as a whole, leading to the company releasing an operating profit guidance falling short of analysts’ predictions.
