Google Chrome now comes with Data Compression

Many people including Google's executive Chairman Eric Schmidt has admitted that 2014 would be the year of the smart phones and number of people who would access the internet using the mobile will increase significantly. However, many of us use internet on our mobile phones but have limited mobile data plans and extending these limits might be expensive for many of us.

There are some websites which automatically switch to mobile modes which saves data usage. Also, Browsers like Opera Max can compress the data significantly. But not many people use that. But now it will change as Google has announced Data compression feature on Mobile app of chrome for both iOS and android. The number of users who browse Internet using chrome from both android and iOS is huge and this will help them cut their Data usage. Google has claimed that this feature can cut the mobile data usage by as much as 50%. The updated app is now live and can be downloaded from play store for android devices and app store for iOS devices. To use this feature, download the latest update and then go to settings and then to Bandwidth management. You can tap on reduce data usage option there to enable this feature.

Well he does seem to have same view as the late apple chairman Steve jobs. When asked about his biggest mistake, he did not hesitate to say that they could not anticipate the social networks and the fact that they would grow by this much. Well, had they known it earlier, we might have google+ from the start instead of an orkut or a Google Buzz.

Nexus Q Gets Android 4.4 Kitkat

So do you remember nexus Q? It is an orb-like media streaming device, which sort of makes it the predecessor of the Chromecast. Google unveiled Nexus Q  last year at the Google I/O, and recently Google removed it from play store. Inspite of the product failing to take off, many users still have Nexus Q and they were stuck with ICS. However, now it seems like the old Nexus Q can be given a fresh lease of life.

Google I/O 2013 - What to expect

Google’s big annual developer conference kicks off on Wednesday 15th May 2013. Last year brought us, among other things, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and Google Glass-wearing skydivers falling through the sky to San Francisco’s Moscone Center. What will this year’s event hold? 

Google Glass - Tech Specs Revealed

Google announced its Google Glass Explorer Editions were beginning to ship in waves to their respective buyers, but what exactly will $1,500 get these selected pioneers? Keep Reading to find out

The Google Glass Explorer Editions will have a 5MP camera capable of taking video up to 720p, has 16GB of internal storage (12 GB of "usable memory" that syncs with Google cloud storage), feature 802.11b/g and a display that will be equivalent to a 25-inch HD screen if you’re standing 8 feet away from the TV. Most importantly is its battery, which Google says will last the user a full day with typical use, although Hangouts and video recording may quicken its battery drain.

An all-day battery is probably one of the most important things for the Google Glass, which is probably why the device only uses 802.11b/g as supporting 802.11n may eat at its battery too much. For the device just being a pair of glasses with a small computer attached to it, these specs are pretty impressive, especially its 16GB of internal storage.

The Internet-connected glasses allow wearers to check messages, take photos or video and surf the Web by using a variety of voice commands. Google has yet to announce when Glass will be available to the general public. 

Google is keeping a lid on what developers can do. For now, Google's developer terms of service mean no advertisements in Glass clients, no data can be used for ads or data and you can't collect payments. Google Glass apps must use official Google distribution channels. The moves are the opposite of the Wild West ways of Android. On the surface, this makes sense. Why? Glasses are more personal from a device perspective. Google doesn't want any horror stories with Glass.
