As a precautionary measure, we have incidentally delayed the programmed upgrades for these units until we are certain the issue is root brought about/determined. We ought to have the capacity to resume programmed upgrades in the following coming days and affirm on this bug appropriately.

In the event that you claim one of these Chromebooks, your gadget won't be redesigned consequently for no less than a couple days. In the event that you happened to keep running into a real issue, Google ought to deal with altering it.

Google Apps Sharing
Could the applications that keep Chromebook clients upbeat keep your home office at crest profitability? No, I'm not returning to my prior segment in which I asked regardless of whether Chromebook equipment was adequate for home-based business administrators and remote workers. This present section is the second of my four-section bi-week after week arrangement on office efficiency suites, taking after the kickoff on Microsoft Office 365. This week, the spotlight sparkles on Google Apps, Office's inverse from numerous points of view.

While Microsoft offers free Office Online adaptations of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, its membership additionally gets you the conventional nearby (i.e., introduced on your tablet or desktop) Office 2016 projects, with all encompassing arrangements of elements contrasted with their program based cousins.

With Google Apps, by complexity, what's online is the thing that you get: This minimal, productive suite lives in your program (ideally Google Chrome), with nothing to download, so it's accessible on your PC, tablet, or telephone wherever there's web access. The word handling, spreadsheet, presentation, and drawing modules likewise work disconnected from the net (if, say, you're on a plane without Wi-Fi), however arranging them to do as such is a drivel.

As you'd expect, its online openness makes Google Apps a "lite" profitability decision. It's a delineation of programming's variant of the 80/20 control (that is, 80 percent of clients will never require more than 20 percent of the components; get some information about the old Microsoft Works versus Microsoft Office). The word processor, for instance, is only that: a word processor rather than a page format program that backings numerous sections, drop tops, and endnotes (however it provides references and an extra offers book indices). Be that as it may, if your work depends on brisk and clean as opposed to extravagantly designed archives, you might be charmingly amazed by Google Apps' usefulness.

From Zero to $10 in One Month

Google Apps' greatest showcasing test is that the word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation parts—named Docs, Sheets, and Slides, separately—are utilized by millions who don't spend a penny for them. Open a Google Account with a Gmail location and you get free access to Google Apps, alongside 15 GB of Google Drive distributed storage for your email, photographs, and different documents. That is not exactly as scanty as it sounds,because Docs, Sheets, and Slides documents don't check.

So if your financial plan is zero, Google matches Microsoft in offering an online efficiency trio; email with schedule, assignments, and contacts; and some distributed storage. In the event that you can slip Google a couple bucks, in any case, things get intriguing. Google Apps for Work costs $10 per client every month. At the end of the day, $120 a year in case you're a performance business visionary (and a few times that on the off chance that you have a worker or two).

Google Apps Sharing

Consequently, you get 1 TB for each client of online stockpiling—or boundless stockpiling if there are five or more in your association. In addition you get promotion free business email with locations, for example, yourname@yourdomain.com rather than allthegoodnamesaretaken@gmail.com.

You likewise get Google's guarantee of 99.9 percent uptime; Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook; content, voice, and HD video visits for up to 25 individuals by means of Google Hangouts; and managerial and security alternatives for Drive and email not present in the free forms. (I'm accepting you don't have to hold and inquiry clients' email records and visits if there should arise an occurrence of case, yet enormous organizations cherish this stuff.)
Google Sheets

Initially, $120 every year sounds like a poor arrangement contrasted with Microsoft Office 365 Home, which consolidates online applications with establishments of Office 2016 on up to five PCs or Macs, five tablets, and five telephones. In fact, be that as it may, Google Apps for Work doesn't contend with that package however with Office 365 Business Premium, which incorporates email and HD videoconferencing support for $12.50 per client every month, so a year with Google winds up being $30 less expensive rather than $20 more costly.

Right-Sized or Underpowered?

In any case, while it's reasonable to contrast Google Apps with Office Online, contrasting it with Office 2016 resemble conveying a handgun to a gun battle. Again, Microsoft's PC-based suite is intended to have verging on each component anybody may ever need; Google's online suite is intended to have most elements the vast majority utilize day by day.

Sheets, for instance, is a skilled spreadsheet with scads of inherent capacities, information capacities including channel perspectives and turn tables, and 28 diagram sorts going from bar and pie to candle, radar, and guide (and it won my heart with a discourse box perusing, "Heads up! Are you certain you need to erase this sheet?").

Google Sheets

Yet, you'll look futile for Excel's extravagant sunburst and figure graphs, or notwithstanding for things like adding a subtitle to an outline. Keeping in mind there are a modest bunch of striking additional items accessible, for example, Google Analytics reporting and venture courses of events with Gantt graphs, most additional items are things like classroom gradebooks.

Google Docs
Slides is maybe the least complex and starkest Google App. It welcomes you with for the most part stripped down "Snap to include title, snap to include content" slide formats, which you can energize by applying bulleted records, content boxes, and pictures.

You can browse 20-odd shading and-text style topics, every offering twelve slide designs (segment header, title and two sections, et cetera), alongside about six moves amongst slides and 15 activitys for slide components. Couple of, too bad, are as eye-getting and none are as natural as their counterparts in PowerPoint.

Docs, by complexity, looks correspondingly plain—a white screen with a toolbar and line of draw down menus—yet is an agreeable little word processor that backings section styles, tables, remarks, content wrap around illustrations, and even math conditions and an examination charge that brings online information about chose things (like Office's Smart Lookup).

Google Docs

Like other Google Apps, Docs makes it simple to distribute your work to the Web and welcome associates to team up, taking care of a couple cases, (for example, two individuals altering the same passage all the while) superior to anything Word. When you need to download a duplicate from the cloud, Google Apps bolsters Office and PDF trade. When you need to transfer one, the suite does an equipped if not graphically idealize occupation of importing Office records.

There's a great deal to like about Google Apps, particularly in case you're either utilizing the free form or exploiting the paid rendition's expert email and conferencing (you can even utilize Google+ as a semi Slack social intranet inside your organization, however it's not formally a center individual from the suite). Be that as it may, contrasting it with the supreme Office 365 resemble, to take a metaphor from Stephen King, contrasting an electric lamp with a beacon. Which would you rather have on the tempest hurled oceans of present day business?

Dumping their past plan of action of flooding the planet with modest, unbranded cellphones, China's Huawei has ascended to wind up a comprehensively unmistakable brand and a genuine contender for Apple AAPL +1.52% and Samsung. Progressing quickly into new markets around the world, Huawei is presently the world's number three cell phone brand, with a 8.3 percent piece of the overall industry. Europe, specifically, has been open of Huawei, where the organization is developing at a remarkable clasp on the back of better items and another brand picture.

Ascending from humble beginnings in Shenzhen in 1987, Huawei began as a maker of telephone switches. Growing up with the city's incipient gadgets industry, Huawei would turned into the worldwide pioneer in information transfers systems by 2012 — in spite of a boycott by the US government and its automatic consequences.

In any case, where Huawei now stands to make the most waves is with its prime shopper item: cell phones. A year ago, the organization sold 108 million of them — which is still a long ways behind Samsung and Apple, at 324 and 231 million units, separately, yet the hole is shutting quick. This year, Huawei's direction is looking significantly more extreme, as quarter one saw 28.8 million telephones sold, more than a 10 million unit year-on-year increment, while Samsung stayed level and Apple really went into decay.

This new worldwide business sector position was gotten through an exceptionally dynamic activity to radically build the nature of their component telephones and in addition real promotion battles intended to let the world realize that Huawei has arrived.

Huawei once discovered their specialty offering handsets less expensive than the enormous brands of the world, going after low hanging organic product as opposed to the premium levels taking off at the highest point of the purchaser tree. My first Android gadget was a $100 Huawei that I got in 2012 in Jiangsu area. It was unremarkable yet modest — a slogan that could aggregate up open conclusion about the brand around then. Be that as it may, every one of this has changed for Huawei.

"I went to my shop and they informed me rather with respect to getting a Samsung perhaps this Huawei is better," said Bogdan Goralczyk, the Polish Sinologist, creator, and previous diplomat. "More individuals are beginning to understand that it's not as poop any longer, that it is not a fake item, that it is vastly improved than we anticipated. It is changing the mindset of the general population; they are beginning to think, 'China, stunning, that is amazing.'"

Huawei propelled its new lead telephones, the P9 and P9 Plus, in London in April of this current year. The telephones highlight front line duel-lens cameras, which permits in all the more light to enhance photograph quality, a superior battery, imaginative biometric unique finger impression innovation, a Kirin 955 2.5GHz 64-bit ARM-based processor, and a top notch aluminum body with stylishly satisfying and ergonomically molded adjusted corners. The telephone is not just intended to work at the largest amount and to push new components into the business sector, however to look great as well — a noteworthy interest of the Chinese shopper specifically.

Huawei has likewise occupied with some prominent associations to build up some of their new items and elements. Right by the duel lenses of the P9 is composed "Leica," the name of the noticeable German photography organization who outlined it. Huawei additionally created Google GOOGL +2.22%'s Nexus 6P and is as of now working with Swarovski to plan an in vogue smartwatch for ladies.

Past China, where they are the undisputed number one cell phone brand, Huawei has progressed forcefully into new markets, with an increased spotlight on Europe, where they are the mainland's number two Android telephone and, in some business sectors, number two by and large. A full 50% of Huawei's 100+ million handset deals and 65% of the organization's income a year ago gotten from business sectors outside of China, as the organization's piece of the pie quickly ascended in nations like Germany, Italy, and Spain.

Huawei's emotional ascent in European deals was started by a change in item quality but on the other hand was complimented by a prominent promoting barrage. Advertisements and advancements for Huawei now cover the cable cars of Rotterdam, a lead store sits in a noticeable area in downtown Brussels, whole structures are being secured with enormous Huawei pennants in spots like Berlin and Lodz, Poland, the roadsides of major expressways are spotted with boards for Huawei, and the downtown area of Warsaw resembles a promoting tradition where Huawei was the visitor of honor. This crusade has likewise incorporated the sponsorship of prominent soccer groups like Arsenal, AC Milan, and Paris Saint-Germain, supports from star European competitors like Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski, and in addition key item dispatches in European urban areas. Essentially, Huawei made sense of what Europeans like and stuck their logo on it.

The Chinese hardware industry has been quickly at work moving their plans of action as well as the worldview of how their items are seen far and wide. Taking after a solid push from China's focal government for more development, organizations of all shapes and sizes have been attempting to set up mark items which not just speak to the move that they themselves have experienced additionally that of China.

Reports of another wellness tracker from Samsung initially surfaced a month ago, trailed by a break from the organization's own site. Presently, what look like promo pictures for the new gadget — thought to be the Gear Fit 2 — have seemed internet, demonstrating the wristband with an assortment of watch countenances and wellness following applications.

As we've seen from Samsung's own renders, the Gear Fit 2 hopes to have a sleeker profile than its forerunner, with a presentation that sits flush with the wristband, as opposed to raised up from its surface.

As indicated by sources, Panos Panay and his Surface group are chipping away at the Microsoft Surface Phone. This is the same group that is behind the Surface tablets. Shoppers are required to get three unique variants out of the Surface Phone, which will be focused at business and prosumer aficionados.

Surface Phone: Here's all that we know so far

The Surface telephone has been encompassed by numerous gossipy tidbits, so here is all that we know so far about this premium cell phone's configuration, specs, cost and discharge date.

Outline and manufacture

At first, we heard that Microsoft was taking a shot at an all metal Surface Phone. The discharge date may change further, yet as indicated by the most recent reports, the metal form thought won't go anyplace.

We have seen the Surface Tablet range, solid and exceptionally strong form and this gadget has certainly worked extremely well for Microsoft . Since the same group is dealing with the Surface Phone, we can expect an also strong form in the specific gadget too.

Kickstand

In addition, the Surface Phone is very anticipated that would convey a Kickstand, which could basically permit the telephone to stand autonomously. This kickstand is likewise accessible on the Surface Tablet, and on the off chance that this truly ends up being valid, we can anticipate that a stylus will participate in as well.

Show

As previously stated, the Surface Phone ought to come in three variations, which we gauge will vary regarding screen size. We can expect a 5.5-inch show for the customer release, while the star models will doubtlessly accompany an entire 6-inch screen.

Microsoft's Surface phone: Rumour roundup

By Dani → Sunday, 22 May 2016

OnePlus' third handset rises as the...OnePlus 3!

The OnePlus 2 has been out a short time now, sufficiently long that OnePlus has really ended the welcome just deals model for the gadget, which means anybody can journey over to the OnePlus webstore and purchase one straight up. That can basically just mean one thing - a successor is as of now in progress for dispatch inside 2016 - yet then, given the way we know the cell phone industry works and how ahead of time advancement cycles are, this is barely suprising news.

As of May 5, new subtle elements have risen in regards to the OnePlus 3's battery pack; it'll supposedly convey a significant enormous 3,500mAh cell - the word comes by means of sources addressing Chinese distribution MyDrivers. A 3,500mAh unit isn't a gigantic elevate from the past gen, in any case, as the OnePlus 2 stuffed a 3,300mAh battery. The new tipster additionally emphasized before cases for the third time that we will see two variations with various RAM and capacity limits - 3GB RAM with 32GB stockpiling, or 4GB RAM with 64GB stockpiling - both emphasess pack Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 chipset, if gossipy tidbits are to be accepted. The huge battery will apparently highlight a brisk charge highlight, however it won't be Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 tech, rather OnePlus is deciding on its own exclusive "Dash Charge" tech.

The OnePlus 3 has had its cost spilled and, as we as a whole trusted, the telephone will in any case offer magnificent worth for cash. As indicated by GizmoChina, which cases to have addressed OnePlus workers, the OnePlus 3 will retail in the US for $310 (or £210 here in the UK), making it one of the least expensive top of the line Android leads of 2016 when contrasted with any semblance of the LG G5 and Galaxy S7.



That $310 sticker price is by all accounts for the base model which is the 3GB RAM and 32GB stockpiling alternative, the other variation will have 64GB of capacity and 4GB of RAM and is relied upon to cost more - it's currently trusted this higher-end rendition will cost $385. There is likewise some discussion of a considerably higher-end rendition with 128GB of capacity. The OnePlus 3 will evidently highlight an all-new metal plan however will hold its 1080p presentation. In any case, that is OK — this thing is madly modest contrasted with EVERYTHING else on business sector. There is additionally a HUGE upshot to utilizing 1080p boards also: endlessly prevalent battery execution. Significantly all the more so with a greater cell and Android Marshmallow at the center.

Meanwhile, OnePlus has diminished the expense of its OnePlus 2 handset to $349 — and it is remaining as such until the end of time. This is what the organization needed to say in regards to the value lessening on its official online journal:

"We took in a great deal from our first leader telephone. The welcome framework got the OnePlus 2 off the ground, and now on account of both planning and scale, our operations have scrutinized to the Goldilocks standard of simply right. Things being what they are, the reason not give our fans a chance to go along with us in commending the our rewards for all the hard work? The OnePlus 2 now has a value change of $349, for eternity. On the off chance that you've ever expected to give a companion another motivation to join Team OnePlus, here you go."

The organization additionally discharged the OnePlus X before in 2015 and that handset, while no place close as convincing as the OnePlus 2, is as yet creating a considerable amount of enthusiasm from shoppers. The OnePlus 2 leader was not without its depreciators, be that as it may, taking after the organization's choice NOT to incorporate NFC or a QHD board on the front of the gadget.

The OnePlus 3, similar to each other lead before it from the Chinese upstart, will more likely than not be discharged inside the organization's currently scandalous welcome just obtaining program, whereby clients need to first get a welcome before they can purchase a real telephone from OnePlus. This procedure removes systems and retailers and permits the organization to practice better control of the handset's generation procedure, rather simply constructing a couple of million units like other people in the space.

The OnePlus 3 will probably include 3/4GB of RAM and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 CPU. Past this we'd hope to see some enormous enhancements to imaging and battery execution, likely a bigger cell, and additionally the presentation of a QHD show board, another key spec missing from a year ago's OnePlus 2.

OnePlus 3 Release Date

February 25 sees some more subtle elements rise - this time we have OnePlus prime supporter Carl Pei conversing with CNET about the prospective lead, saying that it will dispatch late in Q2, by June as indicated by the report. Pei said that the telephone will highlight "another outline" which he trusts will "enamor" purchasers as much as the first OnePlus One. No doubt despite the fact that the OnePlus 2 was more element rich and sold superior to the OnePlus One, OnePlus feels that on the configuration front it lost a portion of the appeal contrasted with the presentation model.

The current year's Android space is VERY aggressive too. Samsung and LG both crushed the ball out of the recreation center with their particular handsets — the LG G5 and the Galaxy S7 — and the warmth doesn't appear as though it will color down at any point in the near future, with the approach of the Galaxy Note 6, another Sony telephone, Apple's iPhone 7 and, obviously, Google's Nexus 2016 telephones, which will evidently be made by HTC.

OnePlus 3 NINE Box Designs Leak

A photo has arrived on Twitter showcasing a determination of retail bundling box plans which we'll supposedly see shipping out to individuals who buy the OnePlus 3. @Krispitech posted the picture, which gives off an impression of being a render, demonstrating nine distinctive box outlines all with a white and red shading conspire simply like the OnePlus logo.

The source did not give any insights about the distinctive box outlines, so it's not clear on the off chance that this is a choice that OnePlus will pick a last plan from, or on the off chance that it is a scope of various outlines which will be dispersed to various districts, or if there will essentially be an assortment and it's irregular which style you get. Our most loved is the center one, albeit upper right, base right, and upper left are additionally entirely cool.

There's no other new data at this stage, despite the fact that from past breaks and bits of gossip we are expecting a 5.5in 1080p showcase, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 16MP and 8MP cameras, and different stockpiling and RAM variations; so far accepted to be 4GB RAM/32GB capacity and 6GB RAM/64GB capacity, however a 128GB stockpiling version is additionally reputed. Finally, there have likewise been gossipy tidbits about a vast 3,500mAh battery cell to power things along. More bits of gossip are developing each week, in any case, and it appears that OnePlus may declare the new handset over the mid year, with past notice of June being a conceivable dispatch month.

To begin with Benchmarks For OnePlus 3 Land

The OnePlus 3 is relied upon to get official in May with a discharge date following in the weeks after. Up to now insights about 2016's "lead executioner" have been truly thin on the ground however as is regularly the case in the keep running up to a dispatch, holes are beginning to happen — releases like benchmarks which detail the specs of the handset.

As indicated by late GFX and Geekbench test comes about, the OnePlus 3 will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB or 6GB of RAM, 64GB of capacity, a 16-megapixel camera, a 8-megapixel front camera and NFC support. Moreover: the handset will run a redesigned Android Marshmallow-based adaptation of Oxygen OS.

The body of the handset is relied upon to be developed from metals and highlight a unique mark scanner as standard. Moreover, OnePlus numerous retail the OnePlus 3 with various screen sizes: 5-inch, 5.2-inch and 5.5-inch alternatives have been named in benchmarks and reports. Assuming genuine, this would be the greatest and most complex dispatch the organization has ever attempted, demonstrating, if fruitful, that it is presently one of the huge puppies in the telephone space.

Why the handset will include up to 6GB of RAM is impossible to say. KYM has hypothesized that this mount of RAM could have something to do with an Android N/Chrome OS traverse activity that we'll see declared later on in 2016. On the other hand, it could simply be on the grounds that they can — Android has dependably been ALL ABOUT the specs. In any case, the OnePlus 3 is turning out to be a significant brute. We should simply trust OnePlus figures out how to keep the cost in accordance with desires.

OnePlus 3 Design

Oneplus is regularly entirely vocal about its being developed gadgets, that is somewhat its thing; the entire straightforwardness and openess with its own group of fans by means of online networking and its own discussion line. That is worked exceptionally well in the past for creating a lot of enthusiasm for its gadgets. Now and again however, leaksters still beat OnePlus to the punch and uncover another handset before the firm is fundamentally prepared to say "hey, look what we're chipping away at". Also, on that note, pictures have now seemed web demonstrating 3D renders of the cutting edge gadget.

The hole comes by means of Mobile Dad, and the pictures seem to demonstrate a brushed metal back board plan which might possibly be a piece of a unibody. Provided that this is true, this would be a takeoff from OnePlus' outline traditions for the leader as such, which have beforehand included exchangeable back boards in an assortment of materials, including kevlar, denim, and wood. All things considered, utilizing a metal board at all is additionally takeoff as we haven't seen this as of not long ago. It's likewise significant that the OnePlus X was intentionally expected as a gadget to showcase the company's premium outline, setting this as a higher need over even the specs - however even that gadget utilized glass or earthenware (contingent upon which variation you selected) instead of a to a great extent metal form.

In the mean time, on the front there is no more a unique finger impression scanner and rather we have a front-confronting speaker grille which may give stereo sound like HTC's BoomSound setup, however this is just theory. The hotspot for the pictures additionally asserts the handset will include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chip and a 1080p showcase - in spite of the fact that we've no thought of the extent of the handset or the presentation corner to corner. There's likewise no word on RAM or whatever other specs, including the camera.

As of February 18, a video has spilled showcasing the
The design seems to have changed a bit, with a curvier shape featuring a metal frame and what looks like a brushed metal back panel, and it seems to have a fingerprint scanner. The report estimates it has a 5.5in display and there is some indication we might see a Type-C USB port.


"The rumored specifications of the device includes a 5.5-inch 1080p display with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection and is expected to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor. It will have two variants: 4GB RAM and 16GB inbuilt storage and 5GB RAM with 64GB inbuilt storage. It is expected to run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow based Oxygen OS out of the box."


"Over the years the BHF has invested millions of pounds of donated money on research that demonstrates how best to identify and treat people who have had a heart attack. Hospitals need to apply the lessons learnt from this research and we're committed to working with the NHS to improve patient care.

"Applying clinical guidelines in heart disease costs little and in the long-term saves money and, most importantly, saves lives."





The qualification adheres to the National Occupation Standards (NOS) for cyber security. It is aiming to achieve relevance in the industry while also offering a diverse range of topics, as well as acting as a first step for those looking to ply their trade in the industry. Cyber Security Challenge UK designed the course with specialists in cyber education, which includes (ISC)2 – the largest security professional body in the world.

The qualification is certainly good news for those who wish to become security professionals. However, it will also benefit businesses in that they will see more trained individuals applying for cyber security jobs. This should, in turn, make UK commerce more resistant to the increasing number of threats in the cybersphere.

"Best product of the year."


So said just about everyone I asked about Amazon Echo. So it went as I read review after review. I finally bought one when it went on sale recently. I'd been hovering around the idea, but I don't need another gadget in my life, and I already have plenty of things that listen to me...or try to.

A week into owning the Echo and I've been impressed at how it does what it does so smoothly. It's not the first voice-activated thing I've ever owned, or even the fourth, but it works so well my family gravitates to it.

The Apple Watch, a year in, feels like something no one ever gets excited about. Apple hasn't disclosed the actual sales numbers, but the Wall Street Journal estimated sales of 12 million in its first year. That would make it the most popular smartwatch in the world, and the second-most-popular wearable after Fitbit's collection of products.

In other words, for any other company in the world, the Apple Watch would be considered a celebration-worthy accomplishment. But for Apple, everything that's not an iPhone-level megasuccess feels like a letdown.

We don't know how many Echo speakers Amazon has sold, either. But compared to the Apple Watch, the Echo seems awash in a sea of love and praise from its increasingly loyal following.

I think that's because the Echo does a few things as a gadget that the Apple Watch should aspire to...and I don't mean playing audiobooks and listening to my voice commands. I mean being simple, easy and more brilliant in just a few key ways.

After a few weeks with the Amazon Echo, here are the four things I think the Apple Watch could learn from it.Do a few things spectacularly well

The Echo can listen better than nearly any gadget I've ever tried, and it's made to work completely using voice. It also hooks into an ever-growing set of services, making it remarkably versatile. But it starts by being the best voice-controlled home audio speaker ever. The Apple Watch tries for a lot of things, and yet it's not spectacular at any of them: communicating, fitness tracking, and well, being a watch. The Echo seems fast, while the Apple Watch seems slow. If Apple Watch did its few key tasks better than any other device I own, then I'd feel a lot more drawn to it.

The iPad nailed the idea of doing a few things fantastically: that was Steve Jobs' pitch for it when it was first debuted. The Apple Watch hasn't quite gotten there.Be something normal, and do it as well as any other normal alternative. When the Echo isn't doing something cool and futuristic like accessing my calendar, it just sits on a shelf and works as a perfectly normal speaker. If I had a normal Bluetooth speaker before, the Echo can stand in its place and be as good or better.

The reason I bring this up is because the Apple Watch aims to replace a watch, and yet it isn't as easy to live with as a normal watch. Its battery and on-and-off screen are compromises. And as a fitness tracker, it's good...but not as great as the best dedicated fitness trackers. And trackers like the Fitbit Charge HR offer a decent slice of Apple Watch's functionality -- it can hook into a social network, and can track sleep. The Apple Watch needs to be a better watch and a better fitness tracker.


The Echo's sub-$200 price makes it something of a splurge novelty purchase, or gets right in under the wire. At $300 (or more), it's a lot harder to justify the Apple Watch. It usually takes the $150 mark to get me to maybe consider a spontaneous gadget buy -- that's exactly the price the Echo (normally $180) was on sale for when I hit the buy button. It's what I like about Pebble watches: most of them are $200 or less. The Apple Watch could still use a super-affordable, even more entry-level option. Apple Watch SE, anyone?

Work simply, and invisibly


After a strange initial setup, the Echo is easy to use. It doesn't make too many demands. For new tech, that's seductive. It means no extra learning projects.

The Apple Watch gets more intuitive over time, but it's a complicated thing to customize and maximize. There are a lot of settings and glances, customized watch faces and complications, and notification filters to consider. It works with minimal setup, but it's far from the minimal magic of Echo. I don't want a totally dumbed-down Apple Watch, but I'd like a much more streamlined one. I think others would, too.

And the Echo stays out of the way. It doesn't intrude. Ideally, that was the Apple Watch's goal. But I find living with Apple Watch means being aware of it. Sometimes in a good way, and sometimes not. The Echo is the device my family would rather use. The Echo is the device that seems to know how to lay low when needed. Smartwatches are a whole other ballgame than connected speakers, but there are common points. Knowing when to be silent, and knowing when to help: that's something I think the Apple Watch still needs to refine.

The Apple Watch still needs its Amazon echo moment.

How to play PS4 on PC or Mac: PC & Mac Remote Play available now
Sony first dropped the news that PS4 users will be able to access Remote Play via their PC or Mac a little over a month ago, although details were scarce. It wouldn't be available to public beta testers; all we knew is that it'd be coming as part of the PlayStation 4 3.50 system software update which also had no real release date. Fast forward to 5 April and Sony announced via the PlayStation blog that the software update would be available to users the very next day and includes the highly anticipated PC & Mac Remote Play support.
The PlayStation 4 3.50 update is now readily available, and once the update has hit your console you'll be able to start using Remote Play. To do so, you'll need to head over to the official Remote Play site and download the application to your PC or Mac, and follow our instructions below.

How to play PS4 on a PC or Mac: System Requirements
Your PC or Mac has to be running one of the following operating systems:
Windows 8.1
Windows 10 or later
OS X 10.10
OS X 10.11
You’ll be able to select from the following resolution and frame rate options, depending on your Internet connection – for 720p/60fps, a minimum internet connection of 5Mb is required.
Resolution options: 360p, 540p, 720p
Default resolution – 540p
Frame rate: Standard (30fps), High (60fps)
Default frame rate – Standard (30fps)

You'll also be able to use the DualShock 4 controller, though this will have to be connected to your PC or Mac via micro USB

How to play PS4 on a PC or Mac

Step 1) Download and install PC/Mac client. The first step in our how-to is to download the official Remote Play app for PC or Mac – this can be downloaded from here. Once you’ve downloaded the installer, simply install the app.

Step 2) Update your PS4 software to 3.50 if you haven’t already. Depending on your PlayStation 4 settings, you should be prompted to download and install the update automatically. However, if this hasn’t happened, don’t fear - you can also go to Settings > System Software Update to manually trigger the update.

Step 3) Open PC Remote Play app and connect your DualShock 4 controller. Even though most PCs and Macs offer Bluetooth support, Sony has designed the Remote Play app to only work with wired connections. This means you’ll have to plug your PS4 controller into your PC/Mac via a USB cable, then click “Start”

Step 4) Log in to your PSN account. This should be the same as the main account you use on your PlayStation 4.

Step 5a) App will automatically search for your PS4. The search may take a few minutes but if it doesn’t show up after an extended period of time, it has to be done manually. Sony claims that the search won’t find your PlayStation 4 via the Internet if it isn’t registered as your Primary PS4, or if it’s completely powered off (opposed to being in Rest Mode where it’s able to remotely turn it on).

Step 5b) If it isn’t found, click Manually Connect. It’s worth noting that manually connecting to your PS4 requires both the PS4 and PC/Mac to be on the same network. On your PS4, head to Settings > Remote Play Connection Settings > Add device and enter the number provided on the Remote Play app.

Step 6 – Get ready to game. If all goes well, your PC should then connect to your PS4 and you can start gaming away. If you want to tweak your connection settings, you must first disconnect from Remote Play by turning off your PS4 or closing the Remote Play app. Before clicking “Start” to connect to your PS4, click Settings and tweak the Resolution/Framerate.

In 2016, Apple will most certainly treat us to the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, the next chapter in its smartphone history. Rumors about these devices were already floating around even before the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus were released, which is usually the case with anything related to Apple. That's rather normal considering that iPhones are usually the among the most popular devices on the market and are usually highly  anticipated by users and everyone, actually.The device will likely feature fresh new design 
and certainly some additional horsepower 
under the hood, and hopefully, something fresh to woo us with! Without further ado,
let's summarize all we know so far about 
next year's iPhone 7 and iPhone 
7 Plus champs. Have in mind that this 
post will be regularly updated with the 
latest leaks and rumors as they become available.

Features


We hereby warn you - we have an ample amount of rumors below. In a nutshell, here are the most sound rumors about the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus:



  • Design: The iPhone 7 is bound to have a completely new design, rumored to be made of extremely strong new aluminum alloy or liquidmetal. It could be a waterproof device with Touch ID embedded into the display, and no 3.5mm audio jack.
  • Hardware: The device will most certainly arrive with a 16nm Apple A10 chipset, manufactured by TSMC. We expect 2GB of RAM for the iPhone 7, while the iPhone 7 Plus is said to sport 3GB.
  • Display: Display size and resolution are likely to remain the same; 3D Touch might score multi-touch support. AMOLED displays are highly unlikely at this point.
  • Camera: As Apple made quite the huge specs leap in 2015, we don't expect the iPhone 7 to sport a more megapixel-reich camera. This means that the device will likely arrive with a 12MP iSight camera at the back and a 5MP FaceTime snapper up front.
  • Release date and pricing: We are gearing for an early September 2016 announcement, while the actual release of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will most likely take place in late September 2016.

Microsoft is murdering the Xbox 360.
In last Tuesday blog entry, Xbox head Phil Spencer said Microsoft has chosen to stop manufacturing the gaming console, which initially appeared 10 years back.

"While we've had a stunning run, the substances of assembling an item over 10 years old are beginning to crawl up on us," said Spencer. "Which is the reason we have settled on the choice to quit manufacturing  new Xbox 360 consoles. We will keep on selling existing stock of Xbox 360 consoles, with accessibility changing by nation."

Initially discharged in the fall of 2005, the Xbox 360 was a monstrous
accomplishment for Microsoft, catapulting the organization
to the highest point of the gaming console industry.
Starting 2014, it had sold 84 million units.
           
While Microsoft is stopping creation of the 360, it isn't persuading the machine totally to retire. The organization will keep on supporting Xbox 360 equipment and Xbox Live administrations for it. Diversions for the 360 will stay accessible for procurement – while supplies last.

Microsoft's choice to stop Xbox 360 generation comes in the midst of gossipy tidbits it is setting up a successor to its top notch gaming support, the Xbox One.
