Netflix has 4k but only through specific TVs that have the app built in

Is this overly long Casting demo doing anything? We are all well aware of how Casting works and even if you didn't I'm sure you would have picked it up after the 5th or 6th time they showed it off

Can I get that pixel-C dual booting with win10 and continuum? Because that would be perfect.

I love google's products, but am still amazed that a company with that much money fails to bring on an even half-way decent marketing team. Even "just copy what apple does" would be a better approach.
