It’s still in an early beta phase, so streaming for apps like Netflix still isn’t supported, and you can’t stream entire Chrome tabs from your PC, but the potential for this app is incredible. Plus, if you...

For students, life is all about obtaining information. At the end of the day, grades will be determined by how successful a student is at retaining the information in textbooks, lectures, and other methods employed by teachers.
