Google conversational search

A week after it was announced at Google I/O 2013, Google's conversational search is now operational in the latest version of Chrome. With Chrome 27, you can click the microphone icon in the search box on Google.com, opening a dedicated search page that listens for your commands. The results are returned quickly with accuracy.

It also transcribes your queries in real time and lets you use natural language, asking Google straightforward questions and getting straightforward answers, both read back to you by dictation and in actual Google search results.

More interestingly, the new feature also includes semantic search, meaning you can ask follow-up questions without repeating needless info -- for instance, "who's the CEO of GE?" can now be followed up with "how old is he?" and Google will know who "he" is.

Voice search

Google's contextual search algorithms intelligently relate that to your original question. While voice search has been available in Chrome for a while now, Google Search will soon offer the option to say "OK Google," prompting Chrome to respond with no buttons needed. It will also personalize results if you opt-in to Google's search experiments.

Conversational search is available in the latest stable build, and can be accessed by going to Google’s homepage and clicking the microphone icon in the search bar. So far, I haven’t run into a single connectivity issue or mistaken query, but let us know if your experience differs. Also, Chrome itself wouldn’t detect the update to version 27 on my Mac, so you may have to go direct to the Chrome website and reinstall altogether to get this up and running.

Liquid-cooled smartphone

Heat is a problem that many electronics are forced to deal with, to one extent or another.
Push enough power through chips, and they’re going to get hot: the trick is what you then do with that excess heat.
Many devices use a combination of fans and vents in order to deliver cooler ambient air to chips,
but those solutions don’t exactly translate well over to smartphones.
Instead, we’re largely forced to put up with phones that can get quite hot to the touch when running at full throttle.
NEC might just have a workable solution to that problem, upon news arriving of its plans to release the first smartphone with a liquid cooling system.

Liquid-based cooling has been used by mainframe computers and customized PCs for decades,
but it’s only in the past several years or so that it’s started to go more mainstream.
NEC will be using such a system on its Medias X, set to launch in Japan this summer.

Since there’s still no fan or vent, use of liquid cooling with a smartphone like the Medias X is less about getting that heat out of the phone, and more about spreading it around. The liquid system helps move heat from the SoC to the other end of the handset, helping to avoid “hot spots.”

Liquid-cooled smartphone

This mode of operation makes sense given NEC’s Medias X SoC choice, a Snapdragon 600 running at 1.7GHz.
If it were trying something more extreme, seriously overclocking a chip, we’d expect a little more advanced of a cooling system, but this simpler liquid system NEC describes sounds like a good fit for a chip that’s not pushing too many thermal boundaries in the first place.

Now we just have to see if this makes a large enough difference for other smartphone manufacturers to consider adopting it for their own designs.

Google+ stream

Google at the I/O conference has launched a new design of their social networking site, Google+. Users on Google+will be seeing their social content in a new way thanks to a multi-column format fit for any size screen.

The design consists of a maximum of 3 columns populated with individual cards for posts and pictures, almost to replicate Pinterest type UI. Columns appear or disappear depending upon the size of your screen, and cards can be flipped to reveal editing options, the cards can also be moved around.

Identical to Facebook’s left side menu, Google+ has also added a similar menu to help in the navigational traits. The Videos and Pictures will span to the width of the screen across multiple columns for a nicer looking experience. Google clarified that the new design is responsive and will adjust to screen sizes. In addition, this 3-column layout will make its way across devices.

Incase you like the original format, you can continue on the old design and say boo to the new Google + format.

Multicolumn google+

Among the new features of Google+ is the ability to flip an image and look at related pictures under similar Hashtags. A feature called Auto Enhance will analyze and apply tweaks to your uploaded photos. The auto enhance feature will include fairly simple adjustments like brightness, contrast, color correction, noise reduction, tonal distribution, and saturation, but it will also make some more intensive changes.

“Auto Awesome” detects the kinds of photos you take, Google is going to try to make other improvements. Uploading a series of similar photos taken in a short period of time, will automatically make an animated GIF out of it on Google+.

At google i/o 2013

Google also focuses on unified messaging service with the new Hangouts which is now integrated into the Google+ redesign. Google is releasing Hangout apps for Android, iOS, and Chrome (as well as integration with Gmail). In this move Google will get rid of Google Talk, Google Messenger, and Video Hangouts and everything will be replaced with the new Hangouts.

What do you feel about the new look of Google+.Will it be able to defeat Facebook??

Google I/O 2013

Atari Breakout

Old-school gaming nerds might remember a little game released by Atari called Breakout. The idea was simple: just hit a ball around and break things. Don’t let the ball get past you, or you lose. It was heavily influenced by Pong.

The game was introduced 37 years ago, in 1976.Google is commemorating the 37th birthday of classic Atari game Breakout in the best possible way: It turned Google Image Search into a version of the game.

The classic Atari game, Breakout, has an easter egg that lets users play the actual game when they search for 'Atari Breakout' on Google Image search.

Go to Google image search and type in “atari breakout”.After entering the search terms and hitting the enter key, you'll see that the search result thumbnails converge with an animated effect to form brick walls that have to demolished with a ball and a movable paddle.

The game play is pretty simple and you can control the paddle with either the mouse/ track-pad or keyboard arrow keys. The game features play and pause controls and even sound effects. You get five chances and can share your score as well. We have to say that the game is quite addictive and one of the best Google easter eggs.

Here is a short video which shows How To Play The Atari Breakout on Google.

Fortiguard Web Filtering

If you are obessed with the above image and want an ultimate solution to this web filtering preventing you from accessing various sites..then you are at the right place..

Here we present some easy and FREE solutions to bypass the Fortiguard web filtering and Fortinet Firewall.

Fortiguard web filtering service is really hard to pass through. Mostly installed on networks in universities and Schools or work offices,just for content filtering and believe me it is very effective. Ofcourse you know that as you reached here.

Now without wasting your time I should tell you the way to Bypass it:

Now these are the methods you can use to bypass fortiguard web filtering at your work place.

1. Use HTTPS instead of HTTP. - This is quite effective with many websites. Using https makes the connection secure between you and the website. Fortiguard is unable to block it. It happened with me here. However they certainly identified and now it does not works for me but still you can try. Some of the sample websites where you can use are--

Https://www.gmail.com
https://games.microsoft.com
https://kproxy.com

Especially gmail is necessary as it is blocked at many places. Use this address instead of normal one.

2. Use Of Yahoo Babelfish translation- Do you know what yahoo babelfish is? It is a website which translates pages from one language to another. And this is effective as when you translate a page from german or any language to english, the result will be displayed in english only as the website mostly you want to surf will be in english only.

Http://babelfish.yahoo.com - This is the website address. Go type the url change the language make it to any language to english and hit enter.

However there is a possibilty that it may have also been blocked at many places.

3. Use of Google Translation Service - This is same as Yahoo Babelfish. But it does not seem to be so effective for me at my place. Still you can try.

4. Use Of Portable Softwares To Unblock:

If all this fails means You should go for Portable softwares which you want to use at your workplaces. As you can take it in a pendrive, they can be easily used with the single click. They will connect you through their proxy server. Here are some names--

Ultrasurf 9.5 6 7 8

Freegate 6.80 86 87

Puff the Magic Dragon

These are 3 portable software which you can use at you school or office. However Freegate has some limitations. It provides it service with specific countries. You can use other two softwares at your place to bypass any firewall service. They are awesome portable softwares to unblock any websites.
All three come in many versions. So use the latest one. For mozilla you might to change you settings manually. So keep surfing the web and don't get caught

Virtual private networks are always great to bypass any kind of web filter. It lets you surf the whole internet with a good speed. VPN software connect to their server creating a vpn connection and thus they hide you and you surf the web from their computer.

a) TOR - It is a free software. It is open network which defends you against personal freedom and privacy. TOR helps you crack any filtering software.

b) CyberGhost VPN - It makes you invisible. It's anonymization service gives you complete privacy in downloading any data, surfing and to share files on net. This is a great tool to use which helps to crack and get through filters.

c) The Free VPN - Free VPN protects your entire Internet surfing session; securing your connection at both your home network & on Public Internet networks whether it is wired or wireless. It is very effective and you must give it a try.

d) Freenet - Freenet is software which let you surf the internet anonymously without any fear of losing private data. You can browse the net, share the unlimited files and can publish anything on the internet.

e) IP Privacy - It is a hide IP software which let you browse the web anonymously with premium proxies in which you connection never slows. You can browse the web with the fastest speeds available on servers.
