Google is testing new ‘Explorer UI’ in Chrome’s new page tab

Google is testing a new content discovery interface in the Chrome browser's new tab page called 'Explore.' Users can access it on Android by enabling an experimental flag. It is clear that the interface is currently in early stages as it contains a large number of placeholder sites at the moment. Interestingly, most of these placeholders are specific to the Indian users but doesn't necessarily mean, they are targeted just for the Indian market as the websites appearing in the new UI have been chosen as examples by the team that is behind the development. To put this feature in short, it can be a channel in the browser that could potentially be of interest to the user. However, it is unclear if this would be based on your individual habits or if it will be more broadly tailored to locales and regions than specific users. To enable the Explore interface, go to chrome://flags in your browser, search for 'explore', and you should see the 'Explore websites' flag. Set it to 'enabled' and relaunch Chrome, then open a new tab. The Explore interface should then appear on the new tab page. As said, since it is in the early stages, the feature might not ...

Google Pixel camera app to get support for external microphone on October 18th

Google Pixel line-up though packs extremely good set of cameras on a smartphone, they don't allow the use of external microphones in the default camera app. However, that might change as early as next week. A Google employee in a Pixel support thread from 2016 commented saying that the feature would become available on October 18th which happens to be the day of Pixel 3 and 3 XL launch. If the language of the confirmation is any clue, all the model of Pixel would be getting the support on 18th October. This indeed is good news for Pixel users who are into mobile photography. However, for Pixel 2 and 3, users would still need a dongle to connect them. Isaac, Pixel Camera engineering team in the forum said: Hi, folks -- I have been keeping an eye on this thread since the beginning and have good news. At the same time as Pixel 3 launch (October 18th), we will introduce support for Android-compatible plugged-in external microphones in the default camera app for all Pixels. I hope you all enjoy the update. Source

Razer Phone 2 Hands On – The Ultimate Gaming Phone

Last year when Razer took the wraps off its first phone, I like many others, was a little skeptical. Do gaming phones need to be a thing? Is there a market for a phone designed for the gamer? That question was answered when the Razer Phone turned out to be a good phone and great for gaming. It had some shortcomings but this year Razer has a new phone to fix some of those. Here is the Razer Phone 2! If It Ain’t Broke, Don't Fix It When I walked into the LA event to take a look at Razers new hardware I had to take a second to find it. They had stations set up with phones, but they just looked like last years phone. Turns out that is by design because from the front you would be hard-pressed to tell them apart, especially in the dim lighting they gave us. It is the same look, size, shape, and layout as last years phone. It still looks like a huge Nextbit Robin with equally huge and loud speakers flanking the 5.7” QHD 120Hz LCD. Razer is still the only one in the game (see what I did there) who is delivering a ...

Samsung foldable phone can be used as tablet unfolded and would fit in pocket: CEO Koh

It is a known fact that Samsung is working on the foldable phone but the phone hasn't made its appearance still. However, D.J. Koh, CEO of Samsung's mobile business, now in a revealing statement said that users will be able to use the device as a tablet with multitasking capability before being able to fold it up into a more portable phone. The company's Koh said that whenever it delivers a foldable phone, it has to be really meaningful to the customer and If the user experience is not up to the standards, I don't want to deliver that kind of products. He once again stressed the foldable phone wouldn't be a "gimmick product that will disappear after six to nine months after it's delivered. He also confirmed that the device would be available globally, unlike previous phones. Since  Galaxy Round is Samsung's testbed kind of device, it gives the company a chance to see how reviewers and the market react. The Galaxy Round, which bowed vertically in the middle, was Samsung's first curved-screen phone. Koh also confirmed that Samsung's upcoming foldable device would be launched this year and could debut as early as next month at Samsung's Developer Conference. To remind you, Samsung isn't the only company ...

Facebook said to testing ‘Unsend’ message feature months after confirming

Back in April, Facebook, CEO, Mark Zuckerberg retracted messages from the recipients’ inboxes which some saw it as a violation of trust and abuse of power since Facebook Messenger doesn't have an unsend button. However, the company clarified that it would eventually allow everyone to use this functionality. Six months have passed by without the company announcing such a feature and now we may have our first look at the feature.  Facebook Messenger is finally working on "Unsend Message" in the app for everyone! Tip @Techmeme pic.twitter.com/5OtQrmyID3 — Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) October 12, 2018 When asked about the developments on 'Unsend' feature, the company said:  “though we have nothing to announce today, we have previously confirmed that we intend to ship a feature like this and are still planning to do so.” However, famous tipster, Jane Manchun Wong managed to generate screenshots of a prototype of the Unsend button from Facebook Messenger’s Android code.  At the current state, you can only delete messages from your own inbox, but they still remain in the recipients’ inbox. But since it a prototype, you’re able to remove a message from both sides of a conversation. However, the code indicates that in the current prototype there’s a “time limit”. That ...

Facebook security breach allowed hackers to access 30 million accounts; Facebook will send customized messages to affected accounts

There was a security breach in Facebook two weeks ago that allowed hackers to control 50 million accounts and the company today is sharing more details about the attack. The attackers said to have exploited a vulnerability in Facebook’s code that existed between July 2017 and September 2018. The vulnerability was the result of a complex interaction of three distinct software bugs and it impacted “View As." This allowed attackers to steal Facebook access tokens, which they could then use to take over people’s accounts. Access tokens are the equivalent of digital keys that keep users logged in to Facebook, so they don’t need to re-enter their password every time they use the app. Facebook said that it noticed an unusual spike of activity that began on September 14, 2018, and started an investigation. Again on September 25th, it determined that it was an attack and identified the vulnerability and closed the vulnerability in two days, stopped the attack, and secured people’s accounts by resetting the access tokens. It also turned off the 'view as.' However, the company now says that only fewer people were impacted than it originally thought. A total of 30 million were attacked instead of 50 million. The attackers ...
