Makeover boasts better visuals, simplified payment procedures and ease of use.
This time last month Google Play celebrated its first birthday, touting 700,000 apps, five million e-books and 18 million songs. And now, Google says its app store has been given a new look, which is currently rolling out to Android phones and tablets running Froyo and above, with users receiving it in the coming weeks.
Google Play, of course, was originally the Android Market, but last year's rebranding was in a bid to encourage users to see it as an engaging hub for entertainment.
Michael Siliski, group product manager for Google Play, said: "Whether you’re in the mood to listen to Justin Timberlake’s new album or discover a new game to play, you want the experience of finding and making your purchase to be quick and easy. The new design focuses on bigger images that jump off the page. Similarly themed content is grouped together so you can hone in on a magazine to read or an app to try.
"As you move down the page, new recommendations continue to appear so there is always more to see and explore. We’ve also simplified purchasing so you can breeze through checkout and get to enjoying your movie rental or other content."

Samsung's Galaxy has topped Apple's flagship iPhone in a new survey, which polled users to rate each device's ease of use.
Conducted by Siegel+Gale, the surrey found users to rate the Samsung Galaxy for simplicity over the iPhone.
Over 400 individuals were polled as part of the survey, as respondents were found to value the Galaxy for its "easy-to-use advanced features – from high-speed file transfers to instant photo-tagging and sharing – making it simpler for users to share information."
"By being compatible with nonproprietary apps and accessories, the Galaxy came across as simpler to the many people we surveyed," concluded Siegel+Gale.
The firm cites one respondent in particular, who claimed: "Samsung Galaxy is a significant threat to iPhone because it is able to do more – and do it more simply – than iPhone."
However, whilst Samsung chalked up a win in terms of individual products, Sigel+Gale's Global Brand Simplicty Index placed Apple as a brand above its South Korean rival.
The result would indicate that whilst users found the Galaxy device simpler to use than the iPhone, they found Apple's entire portfolio of products simpler to use than those of Samsung.
"At the brand level, Apple is perceived as simpler than Samsung, but on a product level, challenger Galaxy has knocked the long-standing simplicity champion onto the canvas and out of first place," said Sigel+Gale.

 If you want a (semi) pocketable S Pen experience, well, then the 5.5-inch Galaxy Note II is the device for you. If you want something more akin to carrying around a digital legal pad, there's the well proportioned Note 10.1. But if one note is too small for you, and the other too big, then maybe the Note 8.0 is just right. The mid-sized tablet, announced at MWC, is finally hitting American shores on April 11th for $400. Under the hood are the same powerful internals we got a good look at in Barcelona, including the 2GB of RAM and 1.6GHz quad-core processor. But, sadly, Samsung removed the cellular radios for the US variant -- which means this slate as a comically large phone. Well, at least the lack of HSPA+ should mean that the 4,600 mAh battery should last a little bit longer. You'll be able to pick up the Galaxy Note 8.0 in just a few days from all usual suspects (Best Buy, Amazon, Newegg, and so on). If you need a proper reminder of all its various specs and features, check out the preview and the PR after the break.

The world's leading app stores have combined to reveal a total of 13.4 billion apps were downloaded worldwide in the first quarter for 2013.
Data from Canalys showed Apple's App Store, Google Play, BlackBerry World and Windows Phone Store to have hit the target – an increase of 11 per cent over 2012 in its entirety.
Similarly, app revenue grew by nine per cent to a total of $2.2 billion in the first quarter alone.
"Apps have had a huge impact on the way consumers use mobile devices, what they value, and what they expect from smart phones and tablets," said Adam Daum, chief analyst for Canalys.
"They are now central to how consumers engage with content and connected services, and how they personalise their devices around the app-enabled features that are important to them," continues the statement.
Google Play was found to have generated the most downloads, as the store accounted for 51 per cent of all apps downloaded.
However, Apple continues to rake in the most revenue, as the firm's store maintained a 74 per cent of the market share.
"Apple's App Store and Google Play remain the heavyweights in the app store world. In comparison, BlackBerry World and the Windows Phone Store remain distant challengers today, though they still should not be ignored," said Tim Shepherd, senior analyst at Canalys.
"Each of these four stores represents a different market proposition for developers, and remains the primary outlet to reach users on the platforms they serve."

St John’s Church in Mickleover has decided to replace hymn books with Android tablets, further proving that God does not like Apples.
The Register reports that the C of E congregation, the first of its kind to replace hymn books with tablets, were donated Archos tablets by The Cloud – a BSkyB company which provides Wi-Fi for the church’s on-site internet café.
"A couple of members of the congregation have used their own devices during Sunday service before," said the church.
Connected by desktop sharing software, each tablet follows the service taking place on the church’s projection screen.

A number of rumours suggest Samsung has a giant ‘phablet’ in the works that will be even bigger than the Galaxy Note II.
Allegedly called the Galaxy Mega, ET News reports that the handset will sport a huge 6.3-inch screen, come with a dual-core Exynos processor, 8MP rear-facing camera, and a 2MP forward-facing one.
SamMobile seems to think the new device will only be 5.8-inches in size, which would still make it bigger than the Galaxy Note II. SamMobile also reports that the Mega will have a 960 x 540 display, 1.4GHz Exynos processor, and 1GB of RAM.
If the rumours are true, Samsung’s next device could contend with the smaller tablets on the market such as the Nexus 7 or even the iPad mini, but obviously with the addition of being able to make phone calls. But who wants to walk about talking on a giant over-sized phone?

Try to match GPU cycles to the CPU

There's too much latency in threadsafe events, causing tests to fail.
Might break games too. I guess they need to execute more often...

This makes Fat Princess for example much faster.

Don't save/restore VFPU regs for threads that don't use them

* fragment shader: RGBA DECAL does make more sense this way
* Merge pull request #1200 from unknownbrackets/threadqueue-perf
Improve threadqueue performance
* Fix crash if queue is empty during savestate.
On load it would then crash.
* Dynamically size the thread queue, explicitly alloc.
* Replace the thread ready queue with non-STL.
It seems much faster.
* Centralize the thread ready queue logic.
This makes it slower for now, but should make it easier to optimize correctly.

Show upto 8 recent item for Android/iOS

Mind Candy, the firm behind Moshi Monsters, has stated that it will be testing out its next properties on tablets prior to launching toys, in a move that will see it drop web browsers in favour of tablets.
PCR's sister title Toy News reports that, having already announced its intention to become "a company that has franchises", Mind Candy’s CEO Michael Acton Smith has confirmed that several are in the works.
Speaking to Toy News at the London Evening Standard Business Connections event, Acton Smith said: “We’ve got multiple new brands progressing. Everything we do will be about family entertainment and will always start on tablet.
"If it’s successful on tablets, then we will make the bigger bounce into toys, cartoons, films and everything else.
"We want to prove that the brand resonates first in the tablet space. We think it’s far smarter to do things that way rather than go all guns blazing with toys."
Online game Moshi Monsters currently has over 70 million users.
When asked if Mind Candy's next brand is ditching web browsers, Acton Smith confirmed the company will not produce another virtual world on browsers for PCs.
"[Tablets and smartphones] are where children are spending time, so that’s where we’ve got to go," he added.
