Google Android Marshmallow
Google sent out invites for an Android Marshmallow themed event in San Francisco on September 29. The occasion will all but certainly mark the debut Android 6.0, as well as new Google hardware.
We are likely to see a duo of new Nexus smartphones made by LG and Huawei. The devices are expected to debut as Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P respectively.
The LG-made Nexus 5X has already leaked on a number of occasions. Its rumored specs include Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 SoC, 2GB of RAM, 5.2” 1080p display, 12.3MP main camera, and a fingerprint sensor.
Nexus 6P on the other hand, is rumored to pack Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chipset, 3GB of RAM, and 5.7” QHD display. The Handset will be Huawei’s first Nexus device.
An updated Chromecast is also expected to make an appearance at the event. An image of the device leaked out earlier today.

Android Statue
Google's Android Lollipop version, which was released last year, is finally running on over 20 percent of active Android devices.
According to the latest Google Play distribution data for the seven-day period ending September 7, the number of Android Lollipop-based devices logging into the store is steadily rising, while the share of Android KitKat and Android Jelly Bean powered devices is dropping gradually.
The latest data reveals that Android Lollipop has a total share of around 21 percent of active Android devices (with Android 5.0 Lollipop running on 15.9 percent of devices and Android 5.1 version at 5.1 percent) that check into Google Play compared to 18.1 percent reported at the beginning of August - an increase of 2.9 percent in roughly a month.
Android Distribution Data September
The Android Developers' webpage shows that Android 4.4.x KitKat version is going down steadily in charts and now powers 39.2 percent devices compared to 39.3 percent last month - a minute decrease of 0.1 percent.
Android Jelly Bean has a combined share of 31.8 percent - falling 1.8 percent from August's 33.6 percent. Android 4.1.x is seen on 12.1 percent devices (down from 13 percent), Android 4.2.x on 15.2 percent (down from 15.9 percent), and Android 4.3 on 4.5 percent devices (down from 4.7 percent).
Android 4.0.x or Ice Cream Sandwich, in Google's latest numbers, registered a share of 3.7 percent, down 0.4 percent from last month. Android Gingerbread (v2.3.3-2.3.7) and Android 2.2 Froyo's device distribution shares are 4.1 percent (down 0.6 percent) and 0.2 percent (down 0.1 percent) respectively in the report.
The OpenGL version, on the other hand, saw OpenGL 2.0 dominating at 58.3 percent, and OpenGL version 3.0 steadily rising to 37.6 percent. To recall, Android's Lollipop version crossed 10 percent mark in June.
Google is expected to release the final build of the new Android 6.0 Marshmallow alongside new Nexus devices soon.

Google to Launch Huawei, LG Nexus Smartphones on September 29: Report

Google Nexus 5
The oft-leaked Google Nexus 5 (2015) smartphone and the Huawei-based Nexus model will reportedly be launching on September 29. Notably, the search giant for the past couple of years has been launching the Nexus devices in the month of October.
The two Google Nexus smartphones would be launched in an event in San Francisco, reported CNET, citing people familiar with the company plans. As we have already seen in past leaks and rumours, the report tips the smaller Nexus smartphone would be made by LG and the larger one by Huawei. If the leaks are any indication, this would be LG's third Nexus smartphone after Google Nexus 5 and Nexus 4. Huawei on the other hand would be making a Nexus device for the first time.
It is yet to be seen if Google would be keeping a grand event for the launch of the Nexus smartphones, or like every year would keep a relatively small event. There is no information on the pricing of the devices as well. Google generally keeps Nexus smartphones and tablet prices low as compared to other devices featuring the same specifications. Of course, as the platform lead devices for Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the smartphones will be running the latest Android version.
The latest Android version would be bringing a number of updates and new features some of which include granular app permissions, Now on Tap, custom Chrome tabs, better handling of Web links and more.
As per the latest rumoured specifications, the LG Nexus 5 (2015) is said to feature a 5.2-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) display; Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor; 3GB of RAM; Adreno 418 GPU, and a 5-megapixel front camera. A [USB Type-C port, 2700mAh battery, 12.3-megapixel rear camera are being also tipped for the device.
As for the Huawei-made Nexus smartphone, the device was recently leaked in a couple of images. The smartphone is tipped to sport 64GB of inbuilt storage and the MSM8994 SoC aka the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810. It may also feature a USB Type-C port. A 5.7-inch display, front-facing speakers and a fingerprint scanner are also tipped.

Google Redesigns Its Logo

Google new Logo
Following its corporate reorganisation last month, Google is making another major change - the company on Tuesday unveiled a new logo.
Google's new logo epitomises the company as it stands today, present on myriad devices rather than its humble roots of a single browser page. Apart from the redesign of the full logo, which while retaining the same colours for the letters features a new font, Google has also reimagined its little blue 'g' icon to a four-colour 'G'.
The updated logo features a sans-serif typeface, similar to the one being used by Google's newly created holding company, Alphabet. The new logo is already visible on its Search home page, and will roll out across products soon. It is the fifth such logo redesign since Google started in 1998.
Google new LogoThe Mountain View firm announced the new logo in a blog post, and said it will be visible in various forms across devices and interfaces, such as a new four-colour mic symbol (seen below) and a four-dot loading symbol.
google logo redesign 2015 elementsThe new logo comes three weeks after the company's surprise move to create a holding company called Alphabet to pool its many subsidiaries and separate the core Web advertising business from newer ventures like driverless cars.
The new brand identity "aims to make Google more accessible and useful to our users", the firm explains on its blog, adding that it has taken the 'best of Google' - simple, uncluttered, colourful, friendly - and embodied it in the logo.
Once upon a time, Google was one destination that you reached from one device: a desktop PC. These days, people interact with Google products across many different platforms, apps and devices-sometimes all in a single day. You expect Google to help you whenever and wherever you need it, whether it's on your mobile phone, TV, watch, the dashboard in your car, and yes, even a desktop!
Today we're introducing a new logo and identity family that reflects this reality and shows you when the Google magic is working for you, even on the tiniest screens. As you'll see, we've taken the Google logo and branding, which were originally built for a single desktop browser page, and updated them for a world of seamless computing across an endless number of devices and different kinds of inputs (such as tap, type and talk).
It doesn't simply tell you that you're using Google, but also shows you how Google is working for you. For example, new elements like a colourful Google mic help you identify and interact with Google whether you're talking, tapping or typing. Meanwhile, we're bidding adieu to the little blue "g" icon and replacing it with a four-colour "G" that matches the logo.
This isn't the first time we've changed our look and it probably won't be the last, but we think today's update is a great reflection of all the ways Google works for you across Search, Maps, Gmail, Chrome and many others. We think we've taken the best of Google (simple, uncluttered, colorful, friendly), and recast it not just for the Google of today, but for the Google of the future.

Facebook Now a Bigger Source of Traffic for News Sites Than Google: Study

Google bulb
Facebook now accounts for more of the traffic to news sites than Google, according to latest results.
Links shared on Facebook and Twitter have become a crucial source of incoming traffic, and have been vying with search as a source of new readers for some time, said results from the analytics firm Parse.Ly.
"The company's latest estimates show that social-media sources accounted for 43 percent of the traffic to the Parse.Ly network of media sites, while Google accounted for just 38 percent," Fortune magazine quoted Parse.Ly's chief technical officer Andrew Montalenti as saying.
This is not the first time that Facebook has edged past Google in the traffic-referral race, Montalenti said.
"The social network took the top spot by a small amount last October, but this month's lead is far more dramatic," Parse.Ly's CTO said quoting from the company's data.
It is clear that search has hit a kind of plateau and is not really growing any more as a referral source for media.
"There's a lot of effort among media companies being placed on specific social channels like Twitter, but our data shows that Twitter is basically a distant traffic source," Montalenti was quoted as saying.
"Facebook is more like a black box in terms of how it operates. And yet it's this huge and growing traffic source," he said.

Google Teases Possible Names of Android M

android m teaser video nat and lo google
Amidst reports revealing details about the Nexus smartphones anticipated to launch this year - the smaller reportedly being manufactured by LG, and the larger by Huawei - Google has dropped a hint about the dessert name of its next Android version - Android M.
Android shared link of a teaser video made by Googlers Nat and Lo and tweeted, "What's Android M gonna be? We all have our guesses..."
While the video doesn't specifically point to a name, it surely hints at the possible names, such as Mango Lassi, Moon Pie, Milkshake, Malt Ball, Marshmallow, and Muffin, among others. The video at the end however shows a person working on an Android statue in white (possibly tipping Marshmallow), which is expected to be placed on Google's famous lawn that also includes statues of other Android versions.
android m video nat and lo google
To recall, rumours of Android M being called 'Milkshake' made the rounds during Google's I/O event this year, when David Burke, Vice President of Engineering (Android), was spotted with his smartwatch's watch face showing a glass of milkshake. Burke however later clarified that he had set his watch face to show cycles of favourite M desserts and also shared an image with four watch faces showing four of his favourite "M desserts".
Google is widely expected to reveal Android M's final build later this year alongside the platform lead devices for the OS. Lately, Huawei and LG-made Nexus smartphones have been doing the rounds on the Internet, with the latest leaks claimed to picture the handsets.
Google officially introduced its Android M developers preview at I/O event in May. Some of the new features of Android M include revamped app permissions; Google Now on Tap feature; new Chrome feature that will change the Web experience for Android users; new ways to handle Web links; Android Pay mobile payment system is now official with Android M; new fingerprint APIs for developers to add into their apps, and battery saver features called Doze that will make Android devices smart about managing power. Some of the other additions include new RAM manager, adoptable storage devices, new app drawer, auto backup and restore for apps, and support for USB Type-C ports.

Google Glass Can Help Patients in Remote Areas, Say Researchers

Google Glass Woman
Google Glass may be used to effectively extend bedside consults to distant healthcare facilities such as community and rural hospitals to diagnose and manage patients, researchers suggest.
"Glass is positioned perfectly as an emergency medicine telemedical device. It is small, hands free and portable, so you can bring it right to the bedside and have a real-time specialist with you when you need one," said Peter R. Chai from University of Massachusetts medical school.
Traditional telemedicine devices usually consist of large desktop or laptop computers affixed to a big cart that has to be rolled from one exam room to another exam room.
This limits both access and functionality in a busy emergency room setting.
Through the glass, the physicians can stream video of an exam, take and enlarge photos and consult with remote specialists.
In the study, emergency medicine residents at UMass Memorial Medical Centre performed 18 toxicology consults with Google Glass.
Physicians wearing Google Glass evaluated the patients at bedside while a secure video feed was sent to the toxicology supervising consultant. The supervising consultant then guided the resident through text messages displayed on the Glass.
With Google Glass, consulting toxicologists were more confident in diagnosing specific toxidromes.
Additional data collected showed that the use of Google Glass also changed management of patient care in more than half of the cases seen.
Specifically, six of those patients received antidotes they otherwise would not have.
"Placing an expert at the virtual bedside of the patient has huge advantages. It brings a specialist to patients that might not otherwise have access to that kind of expertise," Chai said.
Because Google Glass is relatively unobtrusive to patients, can be operated hands free and is extremely portable, it has a distinct advantage over traditional telemedicine platforms," he added.
The study was published in the Journal of Medical Toxicology.

Sundar Pichai Is New Google CEO as Search Giant Forms Parent Company 'Alphabet'

Google Logo
Google unveiled a surprise corporate reorganization Monday, forming a new parent company dubbed Alphabet that will include the Internet search unit as one of several entities.
Google chief executive Larry Page announced the change, saying he would hold the same title at Alphabet, the new holding company for the tech giant's newer ventures such as the research arm X Lab, investment unit Google Ventures and health and science operations.
At the search unit Google, the CEO will be current vice president Sundar Pichai.
"Our company is operating well today, but we think we can make it cleaner and more accountable," said a statement from Page, a co-founder of the tech giant with Sergey Brin 11 years ago.
"So we are creating a new company, called Alphabet. I am really excited to be running Alphabet as CEO with help from my capable partner, Sergey, as president."
Page said Alphabet is "mostly a collection of companies," the largest of which is Google.
Under the new structure, "this newer Google is a bit slimmed down, with the companies that are pretty far afield of our main Internet products contained in Alphabet instead."
Alphabet will include units focusing on life sciences such as a glucose-sensing contact lens and the health research firm Calico, Page said.
Google X, which handles research on self-driving cars and Internet balloons, will also be a separate unit
Other units to be separated include the drone delivery project Wing, Google Fiber's high-speed Internet, the home automation unit Nest and investment arms of the California technology giant.
"Fundamentally, we believe this allows us more management scale, as we can run things independently that aren't very related," he said.
  • Strong leaders, independence - "Alphabet is about businesses prospering through strong leaders and independence. In general, our model is to have a strong CEO who runs each business, with Sergey and me in service to them as needed."
Alphabet Inc. will replace Google Inc. as the publicly traded entity, and all shares of Google will automatically convert to shares of Alphabet, with all of the same rights, Page said.
Google will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alphabet. The Google unit will include search and search ads, maps, apps, YouTube, Android and related technical infrastructure, according to a regulatory filing.
The reorganization comes amid concerns that Google's dominance of the tech sector may have peaked as the landscape evolves.
Google has for years been the leader in Internet search and has turned advertising linked to those searches into a highly lucrative business.
But its shares have struggled since hitting an all-time high in early 2014 and it has little to show for ventures in other areas: self-driving cars, Google Glass, Internet balloons, health care, Google TV, mobile payments, home automation and its Google+ social network, among others.
"This is a pretty assertive move on their part," said Bob O'Donnell, who heads the consultancy TECHnalysis Research.
"There have been a lot of questions about their ability to grow outside of search. Search has been their cash cow for a long time."
The new structure means that each of the projects including "wacky" ones would have to stand on their own and produce results, O'Donnell said.
"There has been a sense they need to be more serious about these things," he told AFP.
Jan Dawson of Jackdaw Research agreed, saying in a tweet, "the biggest question about Google's Alphabet transition is whether we finally get transparency over non-core business finances."
Google shares rallied some 5.6 percent in after-hours trading on the news to $669.08

Google Makes It Easier to Sign Up for App Betas

Google IO crowd
Google on Thursday introduced new beta testing tools in the Developer Console for app developers to improve the beta testing management. While the new tools offer new ways for app developers to address bugs and other issues without negatively impacting their app listing. The new tools also make it easier for users to sign-up for beta testing without following multiple steps.
Open beta is the first new tool in Developer Console that allows app developers to add new users via a link to join the beta with just one click. Ellie Powers, Product Manager, Google Play notes that one of the advantages of an open beta is that it allow developers to scale to a large number of testers. The tool also lets developers limit the maximum number of users who can join.
The second new tool is the Closed beta which allows developers to invite new users to test their apps via email address. "If you want to restrict which users can access your beta, you have a new option: you can now set up a closed beta using lists of individual email addresses which you can add individually or upload as a .csv file. These users will be able to join your beta via a one-click opt-in link," notes Powers.
According to Google, 80 percent of app developers with popular apps normally run beta tests as part of their workflow. The company believes that the beta tests are "critical part of their [developers] workflow in testing ideas, gathering rapid feedback", and helps improve their apps.
The company lists some app developers who routinely run beta tests including Wooga, the creators of Diamond Dash, Jelly Splash, and Agent Alice, and Vector Unit, who uncovered issues in their Beach Buggy Racing app via beta testing. Google also lists Kabam, who has worked with Hollywood studios for Fast & Furious, Marvel, Star Wars, and The Hobbit.
Recently, Google announced that paid or sponsored Search Ads would appear in Google Play. The Search Ads would work just like how the ads work on Google Search, with the sponsored results clearly labelled as ads and placed above organic results. The company believes that the Search Ads could allow people to discover apps which they never installed and used. Google also unveiled new app promo tools for advertisers and developers, including 'Android First app opens', a new conversion tracking solution for developers and advertisers to measure when a user first opens an app after clicking on an ad and completing an Android app install.

Google Cloud Storage Nearline Now Available to All, Offers 100PB Free Storage

Google Cloud Storage Nearline
Google's Cloud Storage Nearline is now available to the general public. The company has announced that the service, which offers low-cost premium archiving and backing up of data, has moved out of beta. In order to entice users, Google is offering storage of 100PB of space for free.
Released as a beta in March, Cloud Storage Nearline is aimed at data-heavy businesses that need fast retrieval of data. The service competes with Dropbox, Amazon's Glacier, Box, and OneDrive among others. Unlike its competitors that take hours for handling such voluminous data, Google says that Nearline could do it in seconds and minutes. Discussing Nearline's other features, Google promises 99 percent uptime, on demand I/O operations, and lifecycle management - consisting of features such as automated archival and scheduled deletions. And, of course, there is the 100PB free of storage for up to six months. Afterwards, users will have to pay $0.01 per GB every month. "You now will be able to configure one-time data migrations, as well as schedule recurring data transfers," explained Avtandil Garakanidze, Google product manager, on a company blog post. The company is also offering its on-demand I/O feature, which allows users to increase I/O rate from typical read of 4MB per second, for free for the first three months. To help users jump the boat, Nearline's Cloud Storage Transfer feature allows one to import large amount of data from HTTP/HTTPS services such as Amazon S3. Speaking of Amazon, Google is also offering a total cost of ownership calculator to let users know how much they will be saving by switching from Amazon Web Services.

Google Glass Enterprise Edition to Be Foldable and More Rugged: Report

Blode Wearing Google Glass
If you still have a dream to own the eye-wearable device Google Glass, wait for its smarter version that is foldable and more durable, media reported on Wednesday.
The 'Enterprise Edition' of Google Glass 2.0 will be water-resistant with a more rugged design, 9to5Google reported.
The new rugged design is "built to withstand normal drops and bumps" and will also have "fewer openings and tighter buttons to close off areas where liquid could otherwise seep into the device," making it more water resistant.
Meant for the workplace, the Enterprise Edition's visual aesthetic has reportedly been tweaked by Google "to better fit in a factory or a hospital than on a runway, with a more rugged look. It is practical and industrial with a focus on function over fashion."
The report adds that from the outside, the Enterprise Edition isn't significantly different from the Explorer Edition, and in fact, is almost indistinguishable. It still features the computing hardware on the right side, and a prism on the right eye's lens. New are the two hinges on either side that allow the handles to be folded.
"The Enterprise Edition includes a larger prism display for a better viewing experience, an Intel Atom processor that brings better performance, moderately improved battery life and better heat management," the report added, pointing to a previous report.
The 'Explorer Edition' of Google Glass was launched as a beta product in 2013. The company invited a select group of 'Explorers' to purchase Glass for $1,500. Google discontinued the eye wearable device earlier this year.

Google Glass Refresh Tipped to Sport Intel SoC, Larger Prism Display, and More

Google Glass
Google is reportedly planning to launch the next-generation of Google Glass augmented reality headset with updated specificaitons and features.
The new Google Glass, internally being referred to as 'Enterprise Edition' or 'EE', is said to include a larger prism display as compared to the current 'Explorer' version, along with an Intel SoC and a slightly improved battery life.
People familiar with the Google Glass Enterprise Edition's advanced prototype have mentioned 9to5Mac that the wearable will sport a longer prism glass that would eliminate the users need to look towards top right every time. This would also reduce the eyestrain issues users reportedly had with prolonged use of the Google Glass. However, the sources have not clarified if the display resolution has been changed or not, but have mentioned that it would be "better" than the Explorer Edition.
The information about the Enterprise Edition's Intel Atom chip also goes in line with what the Wall Street Journal reported last December. The new report claims Google Glass would be using a low-power Intel Atom chip, which is said to be clocked slightly faster than the chipset inside the current top Android Wear models. The exact chipset model has not been mentioned.
The Google Glass Enterprise Edition might come with an external battery pack as well. It is not yet clear how large the external battery pack's capacity is. The inbuilt battery life has also been improved. 9to5Mac also claims the Enterprise Edition to feature 5GHz Wi-Fi 802.11ac band connectivity, in line with a device named GG1 passing through FCC certification last week.

Google Uses a Robot to Test Android Phones for Lag

Chrome Touchbot
Lag on Android has been a problem for some time now; even if you're using a flagship phone, and especially after you're used it for a couple of months. Google plans to address this head on though, as per a Google Plus post by Francois Beaufort, a Chromium Evangelist at Google.
In the post, Beaufort has included a video titled Chrome Touchbot, that explains how Google uses a robot to test for lag.
The robot, manufactured by Finnish company OptoFidelity, measures the end-to-end latency of Android and Chrome OS devices, according to Beaufort's post. The video, captured by a high-speed video camera shows how drawing a line on a screen is done in segments that fade in slowly. You can see the test in the video below:

Google will improve click quality of mobile display ads

Google announced that it will improve the click quality of mobile display ads. Recent studies have revealed that up to 50% of the current clicks have been accidental.

Google will improve click quality of mobile display ads

Going forward, the search giant will automatically block accidental clicks on several occasions. They include clicks close to an image’s edge and clicks on an app icon. A clickability delay for ads will also be added.
The enhancements will allow users to enjoy the website they are browsing without ending up on another page or in an app store. Advertisers will also see improved conversion rates and reduced costs as a result of the changes.
