Instant Apps now on Android™

The tech giant Google has finally started to roll out the long-awaited Instant Apps feature which simply allows the users to test the apps without installing them.

It was during the last conference I/O that the tech giant Google announced it was preparing a new set of applications for Android. These would simply waive the installation of applications on your smartphone for use.There was no date for this arrival, but the tech giant Google showed that this would be one of its priorities. For the result seems to be in sight, with the first Instant Apps arriving soon, coming from a limited group of programmers.Instant Apps are what Google understands to be a revolution in the way how mobile applications are distributed since Apple launched the iPhone and the whole concept of associated apps.

These will simply allow users to test and use the applications without having to install them, saving time and resources on their smartphone. Hence, the tech giant Google was to prepare them and announced now the first extensive tests.
Applications that are ready to be used in this new mode are still limited, but Google has supported the programmers who started testing. They will still be limited to a small group of users so that they can give concrete information on what needs to be improved and optimised.
But as normal with Google, these tests will be extended, and soon many more users will be able to test the versions of the Buzz Feed, Wish, Periscope and Wiki applications that have now been released.Any programmers who want can also develop their applications to run in this mode. These do not need to be revamped, just by changing some components will simply make the application portable.
The tech giant Google’s bet on Instant Apps is great. This will allow users to test and use new applications without having to install them on their smartphones, freeing them from the consuming resources. Instant Apps should arrive for everyone later this year (2017) for all versions of Android.

Google Launched Latest Version Android Studio 2.0 Emulator



With adaptation 2.0, as Google’s gathering item administrator for Android Studio Stephanie Cuthbertson let me know, the group needed to expand on the establishment it laid in the course of the most recent two years and spotlight on pace. “For the IDE to be delightful, it doesn’t simply need to be steady yet amazingly stable,” she let me know. The group felt that it accomplished this with the last couple of discharges.

With this overhaul, Google enormously quickened arrangement speeds, for instance. Cuthbertson lets me know that a full form is presently 2x to 2.5x quicker than in past discharges. That is a colossal stride forward, however, what designers will probably significantly more acknowledge in this new form is the expansion of another component called “Moment Run.”

This very nearly mirrors the experience of composing HTML, where you compose your code, reload your program and see what changed. On portable, that procedure regularly takes a very bit longer, even with the enhanced form speeds.

Moment Run lets designers assemble and send their applications once (both to the emulator or to a physical gadget) and after that as they change their code and convey it, it’ll just take a second or two preceding they can see those adjustments in the running application.

Google has got a revolution in voice thing

Google has built a new technology to power its voice search, which the company says will make it even faster and more accurate. The new technology uses Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) and sequence discriminative training techniques. In 2012, Google switched from Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), which allowed the company to better assess which sound a user was producing at that time, and delivered an increased speech recognition accuracy.

Our improved acoustic models rely on Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN). RNNs have feedback loops in their topology, allowing them to model temporal dependencies: when the user speaks /u/ in the previous example, their articulatory apparatus is coming from a /j/ sound and from an /m/ sound before. Try saying it out loud - "museum" - it flows very naturally in one breath, and RNNs can capture that. The type of RNN used here is a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) RNN which, through memory cells and a sophisticated gating mechanism, memorizes information better than other RNNs. Adopting such models already improved the quality of our recognizer significantly.

The change in technology has been made by Google, and is now being used to power voice searches in the Google app on both iOS and Android, as well as dictation on Android devices.

Google search and Google now cards will be equipped with Visual Google toggles

Not content to settle with a logo change, Google has also announced that it is rolling out some visual tweaks to mobile Search and Google Now. Google says that the tweaks to Search will make it easier to find diverse types of content through swiping and tapping, while Google Now will now separate cards by category.
When using Search on mobile, you'll now notice more horizontally scrollable sections, featuring content such as images, news stories, and Twitter posts about the topic you're exploring. Google Now, on the other hand, will now feature the day's doodle at the top of the page, with cards separated into sections. Google also says that cards will shift and change size as the day goes on to highlight what's important at any given moment.
This all follows the unveiling of Google's new logo, which the company also says you'll see start popping up all around its properties.

A new Logo to Google....

Google....
The 17 years yet enriched internet search client....and that surely is a name in every ones tongue....any question just google it....
Today google introduced a new logo and identity to the Google family that reflects this reality and shows you when the Google magic is working for you, even on the tiniest screens. As you’ll see, officially google has taken the Google logo and branding, which were originally built for a single desktop browser page, and updated them for a world of seamless computing across an endless number of devices and different kinds of inputs (such as tap, type and talk).
So let's google it....

No more flash updates on android and Google products

Google to block non-essential Adobe Flash content on Sept 1, but will continue autoplaying important videos

Starting from today, September 1, 2015, Google will stop some Flash content from automatically playing in a move to better browser performance that was decided earlier this year.

Still largely used for multimedia content, Flash made by Adobe Systems has been facing performance and security issues that has made Google take this decision. The recent discovery of Flash zero-day susceptibilities has led to browsers such as Firefox blocking all Flash content, and seeing major websites such as Twitch making the jump to HTML5. Also, the susceptibilities in Flash are one of the most common ways that malware ends up on computers.

Moving forward, Google’s Chrome browser will automatically freeze Flash files that are not important. This means that you will have to click on the files you wish to see so that you can manually enable them, otherwise they will be frozen by default.

Earlier this year, Google announced that they would auto-pause unnecessary Flash content on websites viewed in its Chrome browser, but allow other content such as videos to autoplay. The users will need to adjust the browser’s settings to automatically play content requiring a Flash plugin. It also said that Flash can drain a user’s laptop battery faster.

According to Google, “In June, we announced that Chrome will begin pausing many Flash ads by default to improve performance for users. This change is scheduled to start rolling out on September 1, 2015.”

In recent years, Adobe has taken measures to improve Flash’s security with code reviews and faster updates, and still is a widely used attack vector.

The tech giant said that the change will take effect from Sept. 1 for its Chrome browsers. Google already converts Flash-based advertising content to HTML5, which does not require additional software plugins to allow certain types of videos to be played remotely in Web browsers.

The company is also encouraging advertisers who are uploading ads to its Display Network to make sure that their ads can be converted to HTML5.

However, the unusual thing is that Adobe’s programmers were being helped by security engineers from Google to support Flash against attacks from hackers.
