Google Seems Doing More With Chromecast

[techbeck]

While I?ve been a fan of the Chromecast since the beginning, I find myself using it more and more lately. During the work day, I end up using it for all of the random videos I want to watch but that I don?t want taking up my laptop?s screen space or taking my full attention.

 

As such, my office TV almost always has Chromecast?s idle screen on it.

 

Right now, that just means it spends much of the day showing a clock and any one of Google?s many pre-selected Chromecast wallpapers. Sometime soon, though, that screen might get a bit smarter.

 

Redditor asjmcguire was poking around the source code for the screen and noticed a few breadcrumbs left behind: a bunch of javascript references for fetching the current temperature in a region, and a handful of weather-centric icons.
