Chinese Coship Manufacturer. Working On A phone With Will booth Android And Windows 10

Despite Microsoft's dwindling effort on the Mobile side of its OS operation, a Chinese manufacturer called Coship seems to be undeterred in its desire to offset what was arguably Windows Phone's greatest weakness: the lack of apps.

While Coship can't exactly fill the app gap, what it can do is perhaps help solve the problem by allowing you to combine what you love about Windows Phone with the largest selection of apps on any mobile platform, the Google Play Store. The company is currently working on a device that will allow users to dual-boot Windows 10 Mobile and Android, allowing you to combine the best of Microsoft and Google's offerings into one package.

Whether the device will ever come to the market is, of course, still not a given. Even if it does, it remains to be seen if an Android band-aid will help, and if Windows 10 users would be willing to reboot the device repeatedly in order to access different apps and feature

Customized Microsoft Cortana app will support Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 Plus.

Microsoft’s phone business has largely dried up, and the company is moving forward with its cross-platform strategy of making sure its mobile apps and productivity solutions are well-supported on Android and iOS. While Microsoft may one day produce the long-rumored Surface Phone, in the meantime it’s focusing its efforts on making sure that mobile users are using Microsoft solutions no matter the platform.

One of the company’s more surprising marketing decisions involves offering a special version of Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus in the Microsoft Store, preloaded with a range of Microsoft’s apps and dubbed the “Microsoft Edition.” Now, it appears to be taking another step in creating a customized Samsung experience with a targeted version of Cortana, as Neowin reports.

Microsoft’s digital personal assistant Cortana already runs well on Android, providing a number of important features expected from such software and integrating closely with Windows 10. In fact, running Cortana on an Android device makes for a solid experience when paired with a Windows 10 PC, sharing notifications and allowing reminders and other Cortana actions to carry across platforms.The preview version of Cortana that has popped up in the Google Play store is called “Cortana for Samsung (Unreleased),” and any Android user can download and install it on any supported Android device. By all accounts, it functions the same as the standard Android version of Cortana, but it indicates that Microsoft could be planning a custom version of the app for the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8 Plus Microsoft Edition handsets.

Neowin further speculates that the custom version could provide optimized support for the dedicated hardware button that currently launches Samsung’s Bixby personal digital assistant. We won’t know until the version officially ships, of course, but adding in the ability to map the button to open Cortana instead of Bixby makes some sense.

These are definitely interesting times in Microsoft’s ongoing transition into a “mobile-first, cloud-first” productivity solutions company. Making sure that Cortana runs well on optimized Android devices is one way that Microsoft can maintain a presence in the mobile marketplace while preparing its long-term plans to get back into that space.

Lenovo Motorola 2017,news, specs rumors

Motorola, the Lenovo-owned subsidiary responsible for some of the best — and most modular — budget smartphones around, might be turning its attention to tablets. Reports suggest the company is working on a large, premium device that packs innovative productivity software unlike any other.

There is not much to go on, yet, but here is what we know about Motorola’s 2017 tablet so far.

Software

The most innovative piece about Motorola’s upcoming table is the software, reportedly.

According to Android Police, it will ship with “productivity mode,” a feature that lets you pin apps to the navigation bar and quickly switch between them without having to return to the home screen or Android’s multitasking menu. It appears to have a dedicated app drawer button on the navigation bar, like Google’s Chrome OS, and the ability to run two apps side by side. You can reportedly close apps by long-pressing on an icon and dragging it up, which Android Police speculates means that apps run in the background until explicitly closed.

There is a slim chance Motorola’s 2017 tablet runs Andromeda, the rumored Google operating system meant to bridge the gap between Android and Chrome OS. In September 2016, 9to5Google reported that two “major OEMs” were in the process of creating Andromeda devices and that the devices could launch as soon as the first half of 2017. Motorola could be one of them.But as 9to5Google points out, the interface bears a resemblance to Lenovo’s current tablet software. The Yoga Book, for example, has identical navigation buttons.

Motorola has a history — albeit a brief one — of collaborating with Google on cutting-edge software. The firm’s Xoom tablet was the first to run Android 3.0 Honeycomb, the first version of Google’s Android operating system optimized for tablets.

Specs and screen

We do not know much about the tablet’s hardware, yet, but an Android Police source gave a little to go on.

It will reportedly measure between nine to 10 inches diagonally, and have a “premium look and feel.” At least one version will offer cellular connectivity. But the rest of the hardware remains shrouded in mystery — we do not know the screen’s resolution, the processor, or the storage configurations.

Name, price, and availability

The name, price, and release date of Motorola’s 2017 tablet are just as much a mystery as the rest of it. If it is running Google’s futuristic Andromeda, it might launch at the search giant’s I/O developer conference in May. On the other hand, if it ships with vanilla Android, it might be announced later in the year.

Whenever Motorola’s 2017 tablet launches, it will almost certainly be cheaper than the Xoom. It started at $600 — about the price of a 32GB iPad

Google Can Now Use Street View Photos To Update Business Listing Map

Google has been taking serious steps to update its business listings of late. Now, however, it’s taking that to the next level. How? By using machine learning to analyze Street View photos, after which it can successfully pull business names and phone numbers.

In recent tests, Google’s algorithm was able to read French street signs with an 84 percent success rate. What that means is that those Street View cars you see driving around may not only take photos for Street View, but they may also fill in Google Maps profiles automatically.

Of course, there are a number of factors that go into whether or not the algorithm can read the signs. Things like lighting, angles, cluttered backgrounds, and more, all affect how well the cameras can see signs. Still, an 84 percent success rate is far better than any previous algorithms, according to Google.

“Our algorithm achieves 84.2 percent accuracy on the challenging French Street Name Signs (FSNS) dataset, significantly outperforming the previous state-of-the-art systems,” said Google in a blog post. “Importantly, our system is easily extensible to extract other types of information out of Street View images as well, and now helps us automatically extract business names from store fronts.”
Google does already use neural networks in Street View. For example, as you browse through Street View you may notice that faces and number plates are blurred — which is the result of machine learning. The algorithms also use artificial intelligence to extract things like street numbers, which helps improve location data related to the images. Of course, numbers aren’t the be all and end all of location — which is why new algorithms will be able to read street names, too, using the same system that can read business names.
It will be interesting to see how Maps and Street View improve thanks to new algorithms like this, and Google will continue to make improvements to its machine learning algorithms.

Alexa Can Now Control Your Alarm System Are We Safe?

ADT just announced that it is adding new features for its security-system customers. The security and automation company now has an “ADT Pulse Alexa” skill available for new and existing home automation customers. ADT is leading the pack, as one of the first companies to provide its customers the ability to disarm their alarm systems using voice commands and a pin.

ADT Pulse customers can have Alexa-enabled devices, like the Echo or Echo Dot, installed in their homes, which will provide Pulse subscribers with access to the arm and disarm voice command features. Customers can also use the voice command features to complete other tasks (lock and unlock the door, turn on and off interior and exterior lights, close the garage door, and others), and Alexa will provide the user with a confirmation once the system has completed the action.

ALEXA CAN NOW CONTROL YOUR ALARM SYSTEM, BUT IS THAT A GOOD IDEA?

WHY IT MATTERS TO YOU

Is yelling your alarm system PIN out loud a good idea?

“A smart home is not always a safe home. Integrating ADT Pulse with Amazon Alexa voice service provides a more efficient, and equally as important, a safe approach, to hands-free home automation,” said Jamie Haenggi, chief marketing officer at ADT. “We look forward to enhancing our product interactions, backed by our 20,000 employees dedicated to keeping our customers safe.”ADT Pulse Alexa’s security is not conducted through voice recognition; instead, the security comes from the user’s PIN number. If you ask Alexa to perform a task that involves opening, unlocking, or disarming, you’ll have to say your four-digit PIN to get the system to complete the task. If you say your pin incorrectly three consecutive times over the course of a few days, your Alexa device will disassociate from ADT and will no longer recognize ADT commands. You will have to follow a series of steps to get things up and running again.

Here are a few examples of the types of commands ADT Pulse Alexa understands:

Alexa, ask ADT to arm the system.
Alexa, ask ADT to disarm the system with 1234
Alexa, ask ADT to check the status of the security system
Alexa, ask ADT to unlock the Front Door Lock with 9876
Alexa, ask ADT to turn off the Light
Alexa, ask ADT to open the Garage Door with 1234

If you have a lot of traffic in and out of your house (you have a lot of workers in your home, or you have guests over often), it is possible for someone to overhear your PIN number when you say it aloud. While ADT Pulse Alexa is protected by a PIN, you may frequently say the pin aloud, as opposed to quietly typing it into a keypad as you would with an alarm system that’s not voice controlled.

For that reason, it’s a good idea to use extra caution, and be mindful of who’s around when you’re providing ADT Pulse Alexa with PIN-protected commands.

Apple Iphone X Rumors and News

Apple’s next iPhone isn’t supposed to arrive until much later in 2017, but that hasn’t stopped legions of fans from fervently speculating about it. Things may be a

little different this year, as it’s the 10th anniversary of the iPhone. Rumors suggest we may see up to three models — the iPhone 7S, the 7S Plus, and the iPhone X (aka, the iPhone 8). The latter is expected to be an expensive, technical showcase phone released as a celebratory model.

If you want to learn more about the iPhone 7S and 7S Plus, head over here. A lot of this information out there is up in the air, but what we’re hearing is keeping us interested. Very interested. Here’s what we’ve learned so far about the iPhone X.

Naming, release date and price

Despite being referred to as the iPhone 8 in many rumors, the phone may come alongside the iPhone 7S and 7S Plus in late 2017. This may confuse things for 2018, when an iPhone 8 would be more logical based on Apple’s usual naming traditions.

Still, recent rumors indicate that while Apple may have been considering a 2017 release for the phone, the company will instead wait for 2018. Why? According to a research note, a number of supply chains have noted technical challenges in manufacturing the new device. Deutsche Bank also claims that sources from Foxconn are only expecting Apple to order parts for the iPhone 7S and 7S Plus, according to a report from Business Insider. It’s possible that instead of waiting until 2018 to announce the new phone, Apple will announce it this year and start shipping to customers in 2018.

An alternative name that is reportedly being considered is the iPhone X. Cool, right? This comes from anonymous sources who spoke to Fast Company and also claim that the device will have a 5.8-inch OLED screen, no bezels, and a body made of stainless steel. The glass back from older iPhone models may make a return, and the familiar home button may disappear under the screen. Even the volume and sleep/wake keys may be replaced with touch-sensitive panels instead. All of these new features may come at a steep price in excess of $1,000.

Apple traditionally launches a new iPhone every year in September, but the latest reports indicate things may be a little different this year.

Bloomberg reported earlier that supply constraints may delay the iPhone X until “one or two months after” the typical fall introduction.

According to an analyst’s research note for investment banking firm Drexel Hamilton that was obtained byMacRumors, the iPhone X may be delayed several weeks after the September reveal due to challenges around its 3D-sensing technology — though it will still be available in time for the December holidays.

“Since it is only April, this situation could improve,” the analyst said, according to MacRumors. “Essentially, our contact believes customers will be able to pre-order the new 5.8-inch iPhone X, along with the new 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhones, in September; however, the 5.8-inch iPhone X will not be available for delivery until several weeks later.”

This lines up with previous reports from Economic Daily News, which said the new iPhone X won’t be delivered until October or November.

And now, there’s even more reason to believe that we’ll have to wait a bit longer than usual to see the newest iPhone. As per a report from Apple analyst KGI Ming-Chi Kuo, the restricted supply of a number of “cutting-edge components” needed for the highly anticipated handset will delay the iPhone to October or November. The firm asserts that “significant hardware upgrades” in the iPhone 8, including its custom OLED display panel, custom Apple A11 10-nanometer SoC, newly designed 3D touch module, and 3D sensing cameras, are all contributing to the bottleneck.

And this isn’t great news for Apple. According to KGI, a delay of even a couple months could hurt Apple sales, especially if competitors launch ahead of time.

There has been some disagreement over whether there will indeed be a total of three iPhone models released this year. As per a new rumor posted on April 20 by Chinese tech blog Micgadget.com, there will be just two handsets released this year. “Rumors say that Apple will release two iPhone 7S and one iPhone 8 (or iPhone Edition) models,” the blog post reads. “Today we can tell you, that it’s not true. This fall, we can see only two models with new technology. Very interesting that rumors leaked new iPhone 8 and big iPhone 8 Plus will have similar dual cameras.”

Take this with a grain of salt, however. Micgadget.com apparently has a rather inconsistent track record when it comes to Apple and its plans, and this singular report certainly flies in the face of the majority of other reports.

That said, there is another report suggesting we may not see three iPhones this year, though this one claims that it’s the iPhone 8 that will be late to the party. According to unsubstantiated gossip from iPhone manufacturer Foxconn, Apple won’t be able to release the iPhone 8 in 2017. Apparently, the leak from within Foxconn claims that Apple has only ordered the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus, though packaging material for those handsets are said to arrive in factories as early as June.

Microsoft Unveil Windows 10s for their Surface Laptops

(Reuters) - Microsoft Corp on Tuesday unveiled Windows 10 S, a streamlined version of its popular operating system, geared toward low-cost laptops for students, as it tries to take share from Google's Chrome OS-run computers. The company said the Surface laptop integrated with Windows 10 S is priced from $999 and will be available for pre-order starting Tuesday. The new version of the operating system comes days after Microsoft reported third-quarter revenue that came in below Wall Street's estimate, as sales of its Surface tablets and laptops slumped in the face of revamped competition. Windows 10 S, compatible on mobiles and desktops, has a simple login app that allows schools to create logs on any devices in a few moments, Microsoft said at an education conference in New York. Microsoft said it has also tied up with companies such as Acer, Asus, Dell, Futijsu, Toshiba, HP, and Samsung to offer a range of Windows 10 computers for students priced from $189. The company also introduced a new code-builder addition to its Minecraft education edition to help students learn coding skills through the popular game. The new edition of Minecraft will be available from the new school year

Google Pixel 2 The Release Date Set For UK

It's been six months since Google launched the Pixel and the handset still holds up well against this year's lineup of Android flagships. That said, Google will need to keep innovating if it wants the Pixel brand to remain relevant and a worthy alternative to Apple and Samsung.

Google is of course aware of this, and being the case the company is said to be planning two new phones for release in 2017. The Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 – thought to be currently being developed under the code names "Walleye" and "Muskie" – are likely to break cover toward the end of the year, at which point Google will have the latest handset fromFor now details regarding the Pixel 2 are thin on the ground, beyond the fact that we know it is definitely in the works. Still, one or two titbits have begun to trickle through, the best of which we've rounded up for you below.

Google Pixel 2: Release date

Rick Osterloh, senior vice president of hardware at Google, confirmed in March that the Google Pixel would get a successor in 2017, although exactly when isn't yet certain. Apple to contend with.Google launched the Pixel and Pixel XL in October, so we can assume by the typical smartphone release cycle that that Pixel 2 will be launched sometime in Q3 this year. This puts its release window around the time we expect the iPhone 8 to arrive on the market.

Circulating Google Scam

A new, widespread phishing scam has made its way into the inboxes of many Google Mail users, and has caught a lot of people off-guard with how legitimate it looks.

As detailed by Buzzfeed News, the email will appear in your inbox with the subject '[Contact] has shared a document on Google Docs with you', with the name likely being someone in your actual contacts list as opposed to an obvious fake name.

This tweet gives you a good idea of what the scam emails look like:

Phishing (or malware) Google Doc links that appear to come from people you may know are going around. DELETE THE EMAIL. DON'T CLICK.pic.twitter.com/fSZcS7ljhu
- Zeynep Tufekci (@zeynep) May 3, 2017

These emails contain a link to a site that will ask for permissions to access all the details for your Google account, so whatever you do, don't click on the link.

The best thing to do is just delete the emails outright, but if you are expecting documents from your contacts, you should check with the senders personally before opening anything.

Some users have reported that the address 'hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh@mailinator.com' is included among the recipients, but even if that giveaway address isn't there, be wary of Google Doc emails with multiple recipients.

If you have already clicked on one of these links, you should definitely change your passwords, but that's not all you should do.

Google has a Security Checkup that you should go through, and when you get to the Account Permissions part, look for Google Docs and delete that too.

Create Contents to drive Customers Attention

Innovative Ways to Create Content that gets Customers' Attention

How to Create Content that Stands Out
With the millions of contents uploaded online every minute, the concern of everyone is how do I get my content to be noticed? How do I get people to talk about my content? How do I get my content to
become the current trend? How come it feels as if I am just posting these amazing stuffs and it is not being noticed or appreciated by anyone?

When your content is not getting noticed or getting the desired attention, you derive little or no benefit, no satisfaction, the expected buzz for your business is not forth coming, you are not generating leads and it just feels as if you are shouting out to an empty room with no one to hear you.

What is the way out? How do you create content that gets noticed?

Below are 8 ways to create contents that gets noticed in a busy market:

LIST OF WAYS TO GET YOUR CONTENT MARKETING NOTICED

1. Brainstorm

Every now and then when we think about content marketing or posting contents, several ideas pour into our mind, sometimes they drift through and lasts for just a few seconds.

At such moments, get a writing pad and write your ideas down, no matter how irrelevant or stupid it might seem to you, take it down and then later on go through what you have written down and you will find out you have gotten some really great ideas on writing contents that are bound to get noticed.

2. Choose the Right Headline

The hallmark behind creating contents that get noticed is writing that eye-catching or compelling headline. Remember that time you were scrolling down Facebook and you are like…boring, boring, boring…oh wait! What’s that, I would love to read more… That is the power behind compelling headlines and getting the right compelling headline is one great way to create content that gets noticed.

You could write out a list of headlines for a particular content you are about to post and chose the one you feel would be most compelling to your readers. You could get someone to pick for you too.

3. Be your Greatest Critic

In other to create content that gets noticed, it is important for you to truly think about how others would react to your content. Do not be biased. Choose your messages carefully and imagine you saw such on the internet and determine if it is going to create negative or positive feedback.

4. Bring out a Story from your Story

Another way to create content that gets noticed is bringing out a story that catches human interest. It is important to change that ordinary content you are about to release online to something that other people will find worth sharing by turning it into a great story.

Instead of just writing a content about “learning how to improve your public speaking”, add a story about your experience or that of others to your content as this will definitely help your content to get noticed.

5. Graphics

Another great way to create content that gets noticed is the use of graphics. The use of graphics creates a medium and an opportunity for your content to stand out, be different, interesting and of course, get noticed.

It has been proven that graphics which includes, logos, images, branding among others, get noticed more than words. It packages your content and is one great way to create content that gets noticed.

6. Imitate but Do Not Copy

Another way of creating content that gets noticed is imitating others. Oh, someone has already written something on that great topic you are about to write on, (I wonder if there is actually anything someone has not already written on), it doesn’t really matter.

Write yours and write it even better than what is already available. This attracts people who would want to find out more about that particular content and helps your content to get noticed.

7. Be Authentic

One other great way to create content that gets noticed is being authentic. Authenticity has always been and would always be a winner. To create content that gets noticed, you would need to understand what your audience wants and expect from you.

As long as your audience feel short changed, continuously see low quality content, or find out that your content is no longer entertaining nor pertinent… it takes your content back to that time when you are scrolling through Facebook and nothing catches your attention. Find out what works and what does not, avoid copycat moves and watch how your content gets noticed.

8. Get Feedback

Another great way to create content that gets noticed is by interviewing your audiences which could include your customers, team members or business partners. Ask them to make contributions when creating content, ask for their opinions and apply their suggestions as these people might just have that little ingredient that has been holding back your content from being noticed.

SERENA WILLIAMS EXPLAINS HOW SHE ENDED UP ENGAGED TO A REDDIF CO FOUNDER

Serena Williams surprised the world when she recentlyannounced her engagement to Alexis Ohanian, the cofounder of the social news site Reddit. As Williams explained at the TED 2017 conference during an onstage interview with CBS television host Gayle King, no one was more surprised than her.

During the interview, King joked that she never would have expected Williams to end up with "a nerdy geek."

"I wouldn't either," Williams replied, to audience laughter.

"I never felt pressured to get married, and I can't say I'm the marrying
type of person," she said. "I love my life, I love my freedom, and I love my career. I always felt I didn't want anything to interfere with that."

When asked how she knew Ohanian was "the one," Williams laughed. "I'm ... not going to say that [out loud]. But really, he's very loving and he's very kind. He's very considerate."

Williams also revealed that the initial pregnancy photoshe posted on Snapchat was put up accidentally. "On social media, you press the wrong button and ... 30 minutes later I missed 4 calls and I'm like, 'That's weird,'" she said. "But it was a good moment." She said she was planning on sharing the photo publicly in five or six days anyway.

Williams, 35, reiterated that she planned to return to tennis in top form after the birth of her child. "Roger Federer is older than me and he's still winning everything," she said.
