Here’s the reason why Google’s ban on Huawei could really be a good thing for the company

Following the recent executive order of the USA. UU., Google has been forced to suspend business with Huawei. The Chinese technology giant will no longer be able to obtain licenses from the Google operating system (but can use an operating system based on the Android Open Source Project) and other services…

#Google Is Working on a Brand New #OperatingSystem

Google is working on a new operating system. But exactly what it’s designed to do is unknown.

Google-tracking site #AndroidPolice spotted a recently published page on coding site #GitHub where Google asks for help from outside programmers to build an operating system called #Fuchsia. While Google  #GOOGL -0.59%  is keeping most details about the project secret, it acknowledged on the page that its goal it to create a new operating system. As a hint at, well, something, Google also wrote: “#Pink + #Purple = Fuchsia.”

Google makes the most used mobile operating system, #Android. The company also has #ChromeOS for computers and Android Wear for wearable devices, among other operating systems. However, all of those operating systems have one thing in common: They’re built on the open-source operating system Linux. Fuchsia, on the other hand, is designed to be built atop a Linux alternative called #Magenta.

The GitHub page also suggests Google is using different programming languages to create apps for the operating system that it doesn’t use in Android or Chrome OS.

The question, then, is what is Google up to? While the company declined a Fortune request for comment, that hasn’t stopped the technology community from speculating. Android Police, for instance, believes that Google’s use of Magenta instead of Linux is telling, and that the project could be an operating system designed for several “#embedded” devices, like an in-car infotainment system with #GPS functionality.

Other online postings by the public, including on Twitter, have suggested that Fuchsia could find its way into computers Google could eventually produce. Some have even gone so far as to say that Fuchsia could one day replace Android and Chrome #OS by becoming a single operating system for all Google-based devices. But that is unlikely considering how popular both operating systems have already become.

Google Now aparece en la versión experimental de Chrome para escritorio

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Las tarjetas informativas de Google Now, que cada vez están abarcando mas información, al igual que algunas funciones adicionales como notificaciones y recordatorios, ha dado el salto a una nueva plataforma, y al parecer desde ahora dará soporte al navegador de escritorio, el mismo que lo puedes encontrar en la ultima versión experimental de Chrome gracias a una serie de nuevas modificaciones, la versión Canary del navegador puede enviar notificaciones basada en Google Now al navegador del escritorio.

Para poder disfrutar de la nueva función, tan solo deberás activar el icono correspondiente, de forma inmediata nos mostrara todo tipo de alertas ya sea en la barra de menú Mac o en la de tareas en el caso de Windows. Pero no todo es color de rosa, ya que según se ha informado Google Operating System, la nueva función no es del todo autónoma, ya que para empezar deberemos ser usuarios de Now en un dispositivo móvil, pero no es todo, ya que toda la información que se muestra en el navegador esta vinculada directamente a la localización del móvil, mas no a la del ordenador, por el momento es lo que sabemos sobre esta nueva función, pero te dejamos el link de para que puedas experimentar tu mismo y sacar tus propias conclusiones.

There's just one week and a half and Google Reader will be history. If you're using the service, it's a good idea to export your data and switch to a different service. You can choose from Feedly, The Old Reader, MultiPLX, Feedspot, Netvibes. I haven't decided which one I'll use, but Feedly is a strong contender. Feedly is probably the service that will benefit the most from Google Reader's demise. It grew from 4 million users to 12 million users in only 3 months and that's impressive. The service was just a Google Reader client, an alternate interface for Google Reader that gained a foothold on mobile. Feedly has recently started to migrate users from Google's backend to its own backend, while preserving most of their data. Feedly Cloud was built in record time and it's now a scalable infrastructure for Feedly that can also be used by other apps that were powered by the unofficial Google Reader API. There are 9 apps that use it, including gReader, Newsify and Sprout Social. If you don't like the mobile apps or the browser extensions, there's now a Feedly web app that's optimized for the desktop and replaces extensions. It's hard to morph from a client to a platforms in a few months.

I'll miss Google Reader, like many other power users. Unfortunately for us, Google is not the right company for niche services. Google wants to create products that are used by hundreds of million of users and Google Reader wasn't one of them. Feedly and other similar services will have to find a business model for something that's no longer cool, no longer supported by many browsers, no longer supported by Twitter (other sites to follow). For many people, social sites offer better value than feed readers and not even Google could change that. "As a culture we have moved into a realm where the consumption of news is a near-constant process. Users with smartphones and tablets are consuming news in bits and bites throughout the course of the day — replacing the old standard behaviors of news consumption over breakfast along with a leisurely read at the end of the day. (...) Google is looking at pervasive means to surface news across products to address each user's interest with the right information at the right time via the most appropriate means," said Richard Gingras, Senior Director, News & Social Products at Google. So what will you use instead of Google Reader?

Here are some tips that will help you use Google Search as a currency converter. It's an old Google feature that has been updated and it's now more convenient to use and offers more information. Note: all the Google searches from this post are enclosed by brackets. For example, you should type usd= when you see [usd=]. If you use google.com instead of your country's Google domain, replace "your country's currency" with "US dollar". 1. The quickest way to convert almost any currency to your country's currency is to search for the currency code, followed by "=". For example [gbp=] for British pounds or [czk=] for Czech koruna. You can also search for [100 gbp], [50 czk], so "=" is no longer necessary when you add a number.

2. The quickest way to convert US dollars to euros is to search for [$], but you can also search for [usd=]. Search for [$100], [100$] or [100 usd] to convert 100 US dollars to euros.

3. The quickest way to convert a currency to any other currency is to type the two currency codes. For example, you can search for [gbpeur], [gbp eur] or [gbp to eur] to convert British pounds to euros. This also works when you search for [100 gbpeur], [100 gbp eur] or [100 gbp to eur].

4. To convert multiple amounts of money in different currencies to your country's currency, use a query like [50 gbp + 100 czk + 200 sek]. To convert them to another currency, use a query like [50 gbp + 100 czk + 200 sek = eur]. 5. If you don't know currency codes, your queries will be a bit longer, but you can perform any conversion using a single query. Some examples: [sweden to euro] [50 sweden = euro] [sweden to dollar] [100 sweden = $] [swedish to japanese currency] [sweden to japan currency] [swedish to indian money] [sweden to india money] 6. You can use multiple currencies when performing simple arithmetical calculations even if you don't know currency codes. For example, search for [50 uk currency + 100 czech money + 200 dollars=euro].

7. After performing any simple currency conversion, Google shows an interactive widget that lets you change the amount of money or the currencies. You can click the currency name to select a different currency from a long list.

8. How to quickly swap the two currencies? Let's assume you search for [1 yen to yuan] and you realize that you need to convert the Chinese yuan to the Japanese yen. Click the "Japanese yen" drop-down and select "Chinese yuan" from the list. Google places the currencies you use at the top of the list.

9. The shortest query that shows Google's currency calculator is [$], but you can also search for [currency], [currency converter], [currency calculator]. 10. You can also use currency names instead of codes and country names. For example, search for [lira to real], [1000 forint to pound], [500 yuan to canadian dollar], [500 peso to ringgit]. By default, peso=Mexican peso, crown=Czech koruna, dollar=US dollar, pound=British pound sterling. 11. Google's currency conversions aren't very precise. By default, Google only shows results with 2-digit precision and that's not always enough. If you search for [algerian dinar in eur], Google shows that "1 Algerian Dinar equals 0.01 Euro". To get a precise result, use a simple trick that forces Google to use the old interface: divide by 1 and search for [1 algerian dinar in eur/1]. The new result: 1 Algerian dinar = 0.00964425063 Euros.
