Android Creator Andy Rubin Leaving Google...

Android Creator Andy Rubin Leaving Google By  Zach Miners , 31-Oct-2014 He was currently in charge of Google's robotics efforts. Andy Rubin, the engineer who developed Google's Android OS and was lately in charge of its robotics efforts, is leaving the company, Google confirmed Thursday. Rubin cofounded a company called Android, which Google acquired in 2005 for its mobile OS. Android has gone on to become the world's most widely used mobile operating system. Last year, though, Rubin was moved off the Android team and put in charge of Google's robotics projects. His work was taken over by Sundar Pichai, who now leads Google's Android, Chrome and other products. The reasons for Rubin's departure weren't clear, though it had something to do with the structure of his team at Google, according to a  report  on tech news site The Information. Rubin is leaving to lead an incubator for hardware startups, according to a  report  in the Wall S

Protecting Gmail in a global world

Image
Businesses rely on email to communicate, and on Google to ensure that their email communication is secure. Today, we’re adding to our spam filtering support in Gmail to handle duplicitous “Unicode Homoglyphs.” This release strengthens our ongoing commitment to keeping our customers safe and protected from scams, phishing attacks and spammers. Last week we announced support for non-Latin characters in Gmail — think δοκιμή.com and 测试@example.net and みんな — as a first step towards more global email. We’re really excited about these new capabilities. We also want to ensure they aren't abused by spammers or scammers trying to send misleading or harmful messages. Scammers can exploit the fact that ဝ , ૦ , and ο look nearly identical to the letter o , and by mixing and matching them, they can hoodwink unsuspecting victims. Can you imagine the risk of clicking “Sh ဝ ppingSite” vs. “ShoppingSite” or “MyBank” vs. “MyB ɑ nk”? To stay one step ahead of spammers, the Unicod

Flexible IT can unlock Japan's mobile potential

Image
Japanese companies are facing major challenges for long-term success. The rapid graying of society is shrinking the workforce, leaving only 62% of the population in the working age. Inflexible workplace practices prevent many women from returning to their careers after childbirth. The Japan Productivity Center ranks Japan lowest of the Group of Seven most advanced nations in productivity, despite some of the world’s longest work hours. As pressure mounts on Japanese businesses to find new ways to be productive and to attract and retain top talent, we asked Deloitte to take a look at how mobile and digital tools might be able to help. According to their new report, Japan’s Mobile Potential , access to mobile devices for work and more flexible IT policies could help unlock almost 2 trillion yen for the Japanese economy and keep some of Japan’s most skilled people in the workforce. There are a number of additional findings from the report which may be useful for busine

Google Extends Two-factor Authentication with Physical USB Keys

Image
Google Chrome gets support for new authentication protocol called Universal 2nd Factor. Google is letting users protect their accounts against password compromises by adding support for two-factor authentication based on physical USB keys. The new feature expands the company's 2-Step Verification mechanism that is already available for Google accounts, and requires users to input one-time-use codes received via text message or generated with a mobile app when they log in from a new device. "Today we're adding even stronger protection for particularly security-sensitive individuals," said Nishit Shah, a Google Security product manager, in a blog post . "Security Key is a physical USB second factor that only works after verifying the login site is truly a Google website, not a fake site pretending to be Google." The Security Key, which is what the special USB devices are called, only works with Chrome version 38 or newer for

Advanced security for Google Drive for Work

Image
  We already announced Google Drive for Work , which includes advanced Drive auditing to give organizations control, security and visibility into how files are shared. This new security feature helps companies and IT managers protect confidential information and gain insights into how their employees work. Drive audit helps IT admins view activity on documents, such as uploading and downloading files, renaming files, editing and commenting, and sharing with others. Filters make it easy to sort and find details like IP address, date range, document title and owner’s email address. To make advanced auditing reports easier to manage, admins can set up alerts for important events like files being shared outside the organization. To help organizations derive even more value from Drive for Work, we’ve been working with partners to give you even more capabilities through the Drive Audit API: Backupify protects your Google Apps data through secure, automatic, dail

Google Launches Telemedicine Beta for Video Chats With Docs

A new feature Google is testing allows people looking for medical advice to also connect with a physician for an online consult. Google is running a temporary trial of a new feature that allows people looking for medical advice to also connect with a physician for an online consult. The feature, part of the Google+ Helpouts online collaboration video service that launched a year ago, allows healthcare workers to share expertise through live video and provide real-time advice from their computers or mobile devices. "When you're searching for basic health information -- from conditions like insomnia or food poisoning -- our goal is provide you with the most helpful information available. We're trying this new feature to see if it's useful to people," a Google spokesperson said in an email response to Computerworld . The new Helpouts feature offers a link to a video service that a physician or other healthcare worker has established for advising

The Collaborative Economy...India...

Image
Most Aussies/Indians would say that a collaborative workplace is the sort of place they want to work. Most employers want this too, because collaboration can help employees share information, come up with ideas and reduce waste. But what exactly is collaboration, and just how valuable is it? We decided to ask Deloitte Access Economics to calculate the value of collaboration to the Australian economy. They worked the numbers and the results amazed us. Their report, The Collaborative Economy , shows that companies that actively encourage collaboration perform better — by a lot. Companies that prioritised collaboration are: Five times more likely to experience a considerable increase in employment Twice as likely to be profitable Twice as likely to outgrow competitors But collaboration is about more than the bottom line — it’s about happier, more efficient employees. Employees who collaborate are ten times more likely to be satisfied with their job Over a third of r

Samsung's New Wi-Fi Tech is Five Times Faster Than Today's Wireless Networks

Image
Samsung's developing a new Wi-Fi technology that will let you transfer 1GB in 3s--but don't expect it in your Galaxy phone anytime soon. Those face-meltingly fast new 802.11ac routers might not be king of the wireless networking world for long. On Sunday, Samsung announced it's developing new 802.11ad Wi-Fi technology that can turbocharge network speeds fivefold, from today's 866Mbps per-device maximum to a blistering 4.6Gbps. At that rate, Samsung says, a 1GB movie file can transfer from one device to another in under 3 seconds. The secret sauce: Ditching the crowded 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless channels used by today's routers and jumping to the 60GHz frequency band. Even though you might not have heard of them, neither the futuristic 802.11ad standard nor the idea of using the 60GHz frequency for ultra-fast Wi-Fi are new. But prior implementations have run into a brick wall, both literally and figuratively: 60GHz signals can't easily penetrat

A first step toward more Global / Business class EMAIL...

Image
Basics of Business Class Emails... Whether your email address is firstname.lastname@ or something more expressive like corgicrazy@, an email address says something about who you are. But from the start, email addresses have always required you to use non-accented Latin characters when signing up. Less than half of the world’s population has a mother tongue that uses the Latin alphabet. And even fewer people use only the letters A-Z. So if your name (or that of your favorite pet) contains accented characters (like “José Ramón”) or is written in another script like Chinese or Devanagari, your email address options are limited. But all that could change. In 2012, an organization called the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) created a new email standard that supports addresses with non-Latin and accented Latin characters (e.g. 武@メール.グーグル). In order for this standard to become a reality, every email provider and every website that asks you for your email address mus

Regional Languages in Google for Work / Gmail...

Thirteen new languages for Gmail /  Google for Work   Email is a universal way to communicate. No matter where you are, you can reach anyone else in the world with the press of a button. We take it for granted now, but it's so much easier to keep in touch with people than it was in the old days of pens, paper, and stamps. But there’s still an important barrier we need to overcome to make email truly universal: language. Gmail / Google for Work is already available in 58 languages, and today we’re bringing that total to 71—covering 94 percent of the world’s Internet population and bringing us closer to our goal of making sure that, no matter what language you write in, you can use it in Gmail / Google for Work. These 13 new languages are joining the Gmail / Google for Work family: Afrikaans, Armenian, Azerbaijani (Azeri), Chinese (Hong Kong), French (Canada), Galician, Georgian, Khmer, Lao, Mongolian, Nepali, Sinhala, and Zulu. As any native speaker knows, each

Google for Work...

Image
In Summary Google Apps provides businesses with a cheaper alternative to Microsoft Office. It’s not as elegant or complex, but is sufficient for users who only need to do basic work with the software. Microsoft Office is still the standard for productivity suites. It is more expensive and all the features may not be used by most small businesses, but for those that need the capabilities it’s the best option. Pros Plans are cheaper and don’t have a maximum user count, so if your business grows you don’t have to change plans Microsoft Office has been the standard for a long time—almost everyone in the business world is familiar with it and knows how to use it. Cons The products that come with Google Apps, like the word proces

What is Email Management?

Image
What is Email Management? Email is pervasive across all aspects of all businesses and has become highly business-critical. For information workers, the email client was their primary business application spending many hours a day reading, responding, and collaborating via emails.  For many, email management devolves into simply removing emails from a server and saving them to a repository.  But this is not enough because, to do it right, each one must be classified, stored, and perhaps destroyed in a manner consistent with established business policies and standards – just as should be done for all other kinds of documents and records. Email management involves the systematic control of the quality and quantity of electronic messages that are sent from within, and received by, an organization. The vast quantities of emails held in inboxes, sent folders, and deleted items folders put the organization at risk and adversely impact the performance of email servers in the or
