Google releases Chrome OS 69 with new Material Theme design and Linux support

Image
Google's big Chrome overhaul that arrived on desktop and mobile earlier this month is coming to Chromebooks today with the release of Chrome OS version 69 . The really noticeable change is the new Material Theme redesign of Chrome itself, which brings tabs with rounded corners and some softer aesthetic elements, like a blank white new tab page, to the overall look and feel of the browser. The redesign also delivers some nifty new features like instant search result info in the omnibox address bar for weather, sports, and other Search card items. Most Google Chrome users should already have this redesign on the iOS, Android, and desktop versions of Chrome. For Chrome OS users, version 69 also brings Linux support out of beta and into Google's stable channel. That way, a developer can run Linux apps and tools within a terminal window, with the goal of helping app makers code Android software on a Chromebook, as noted by 9to5Google . In addition to the redesign and Linu

ZTE Threatened With ‘Painful’ Consequences If It Violates Lifeline Deal

Image
In short: United States Senator Mark Warner on Tuesday threatened Chinese electronics manufacturer ZTE with "significant, painful" consequences should it violate the lifeline deal it received following repeated issues with its (lack of) compliance with stateside trade sanctions. The remarks were made following the introduction of a bill that would put ZTE back on course toward bankruptcy if it doesn't fully adhere to the terms of the new settlement. The top-ranking Democrat also used the opportunity to criticize the Trump administration for its handling of the matter, saying the Republican government demonstrated "it cannot be trusted to defend American interests and punish companies like ZTE that pose a threat to our security." Background: ZTE — a company that's majority-owned by a Beijing-sponsored corporation — barely escaped bankruptcy after breaking a 2017 settlement reached following its violations of trade sanctions imposed on Iran and North Kore

Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL: What Do We Know?

Image
We know almost everything about the Pixel 3. From time to time, we try and recap the story of a phone, according to leaks, rumors, and reports, before it arrives. With the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL , this feels a bit weird because we know almost the entire story already, including when it'll be announced by Google. But  you are all the most excited about the Pixel 3 over any other October release, so it's time to recap what we know so far. Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL Those are the names of the two phones that Google will announce: Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. Those are the only two phones that Google will announce. If you came to this post looking for a third phone called Pixel Ultra, you came to the wrong post. That is a made-up phone by thirsty YouTubers . The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are Google's 2018 phones. We know they exist as "blueline" (Pixel 3) and "crosshatch" (Pixel 3 XL) at Google, two codenames we first revealed back in October of last year

YouTube Shutting Down YouTube Gaming App Next March

Image
In March, 2019, the YouTube Gaming app is going into retirement. Don't be sad, though, as YouTube plans to focus its entire gaming effort into the regular YouTube app and web experience. According to YouTube, 200 million people across the globe access gaming videos on the platform daily. Want another impressive stat? 50 billion hours of gaming content has been watched on YouTube in the last year alone. To help cater a special place for these gaming fans, YouTube is redoing its current youtube.com/gaming landing. With this rolling out now, you'll be met with the top streams currently taking place, a selection of games to watch, trending videos, plus more. In an effort to help those who are new to content creation, YouTube is also creating a dedicated On the Rise section. This is where you'll find creators who are just getting started, but show plenty of potential for the gaming community. So yes, YouTube Gaming as an app is going away, but it's bringing a

Presidential Alert text message to test WEA is now delayed until next month

Image
Remember the initial test of the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system we told you to be prepared for on September 20th? The text, prefaced by a ear-piercing loud tone similar to the one used on Amber Alerts, is called a 'Presidential Alert' and cellphone users cannot opt-out of receiving it. The texts are supposed to be used to convey warnings related to the weather, missing children, and other emergencies. The test of the WEA system and the 'Presidential Alert' has been pushed back to Wednesday October 3rd. One reason for the delay is that the Federal Emergency Management ... #Google #Android #Smartphones #OS #News @ndrdnws #ndrdnws #AndroidNews

Amazon kicks off Sony Xperia XZ3 pre-orders in the US, throwing in free Xperia Ear Duo headset

Image
Sony's latest flagship smartphone may not be 5G-ready (duh), also capping off at a modest (by ultra-high-end standards) 4GB RAM in the US and Europe, with its battery life proving a bitter disappointment in our in-depth testing. But even though we expected the Xperia XZ3 to only kick off pre-orders stateside on September 24 ahead of an actual October 17 commercial rollout, you can already reserve an early copy of the 6-inch OLED powerhouse over on Amazon, which is pretty nice. Better yet, the e-commerce giant lists September 24 as the handset's release date now. And best of ... #Google #Android #Smartphones #OS #News @ndrdnws #ndrdnws #AndroidNews

Tired of getting screwed by airlines? Score great deals on tickets with Hopper (Review)

Image
Let's face it, buying a plane ticket is a terrible experience. The price that you get today in your searches is not the same as the one you will see tomorrow. You never know if you are getting a good deal or if waiting would be better for your wallet. What if waiting backfires and you end up paying more than you should? While the absurd state of plane ticketing is a topic for another article, it is time to highlight Hopper , one of the most useful services in the Play Store. Search for a flight, mark it as watched, and let Hopper do its magic. Developer: Hopper Inc. Price: Free Setup When launching the app, Hopper shows a small onboarding screen with information about what it does. The premise of Hopper is really simple: search for a flight, watch it, and Hopper will check for the best deals on the internet. The app claims to watch "billions of flight prices a day" in order to give you the best deals and to predict if prices are going to increase or go down.

Opinion: There Are Too Many YouTube Services & Its Confusing

Image
Opinion: There Are Too Many YouTube Services & Its Confusing YouTube started out as a video sharing site, where you could share just about anything – within reason – for the whole internet to see. But over the past three to four years, YouTube has started rolling out new products, all bearing the "YouTube" name. There's YouTube, YouTube Gaming, YouTube Kids, YouTube TV, and YouTube Music. Which gets to be a bit confusing, especially since all of the content from these services are hosted on YouTube's main site. The only one that is actually a different product, is YouTube TV, and that's because it is a paid streaming TV service that costs $40. And this is only getting more confusing, especially since today, YouTube announced that its YouTube Gaming platform was getting a new home. Moving from gaming.youtube.com to youtube.com/gaming. It is also shuttering its app next year, in favor of using the regular YouTube app – which makes sense because

Vizio's new Dolby Atmos home theater sound system makes its debut at $500

Image
Earlier this year, Vizio announced that it would begin offering Dolby Atmos and Google Chromecast audio support integrated into three new sound bars. While two of the sound bars have yet to see a release, the first has just been made available for order at select retailers such as Best Buy . The first release from the new line is Vizio's 5.1.2-Channel Soundbar System. At the $500 price point, it's one of the more affordable Dolby Atmos sound bars on the market currently compared to options like Sony's HT-Z9F sound bar and the LG SJ9 sound bar . It features two upward-firing speakers that send sound above and around you for a more realistic surround sound experience, while its wireless subwoofer along with the five front-firing speakers help to balance the sound further. The new sound bars also feature Google Assistant built-in for voice control, as well as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Chromecast so you can stream your favorite tracks directly to the speakers. Their me

Facebook Patent Looks To Bring 3D Gestures To Applications

Image
Facebook Patent Looks To Bring 3D Gestures To Applications In short:  Facebook appears to be looking into new ways to incorporate 3D gestures in its applications, based on a  recently awarded patent published with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Filed under patent number US20180260035, the associated documents describe the use of a touchscreen and proximity sensors to accomplish that task.  In effect, the software would gauge movements registered first on the display and then swiped away with a given trajectory to instantiate a pre-determined response or action in the application itself. However, at least one figure also seems to indicate that actions could be accomplished using specific gestures while not touching the display at all. Specifically, a user could start at one point above the display and then move toward another before performing what the patent calls a "drop gesture." That would theoretically allow precise interactio

September security update out for Galaxy A8+ (2018), A8 (2016), and more

Image
Samsung is updating a number of mid-range devices with the September 2018 security patch . These devices include the Galaxy A8 (2016) , Galaxy A8+ (2018) , the Galaxy C7, and the new Galaxy A8 Star . Samsung has already updated its flagships with the September patch, and more of the company's devices should be getting a similar update in the coming days. Galaxy A8 Star update also includes a Galaxy Note 9 camera feature The September 2018 security patch doesn't involve fixes for any widespread vulnerabilities, but it does fix more than the usual number of critical vulnerabilities in Android and an even higher number of vulnerabilities in Samsung's software. The Galaxy A8 Star update is also special because it brings support for AR Emoji in the camera app and also the new Scene Optimizer feature from the Galaxy Note 9 . Scene Optimizer is a funky way to say the camera will now better detect the type of scene and subject being captured. While it doesn't seem to make

Samsung Duo Wireless Charger Detailed In-Depth By IDT

Samsung Duo Wireless Charger Detailed In-Depth By IDT In short:  Samsung's Duo wireless charging solution was built around solutions provided by Integrated Device Technology, Inc (IDT), according to a recent press release  from the company which also revealed some in-depth details about the Qi wireless fast charger. Namely, the wireless power solutions company says that the entire system is built around a single custom integrated chip, based on ARM's 32-bit Cortex-M0 processor. That's coupled with IDT's own advanced wireless power transmitter. IDT wireless power receiving systems, meanwhile, are already in most top Android handsets, IDT says, making the Duo a good charging solution for any device that meets the current Qi charging standards. Background: The Samsung Duo Wireless charger itself was launched alongside Samsung's Galaxy Note 9 flagship phablet and marketed as a dual solution for powering up both that device and the company's
