Google issues internal memo to employees over EU antitrust lawsuit


Google_logo_474844It’s old news that the European Union has been investigating Google over antitrust claims that their dominance in the search engine market has created somewhat of a monopoly for the company. The EU is reportedly planning on instituting a 6.4 billion dollar fine on Google, which is a massive penalty, even for a company even like Google.

Google has already prepared a response to that judgment and they’ve sent out an internal memo to companies ahead of the announcement, which has some pretty interesting info in it. The memo shows how well Google does against other companies when it comes to things like shopping searches and what customers use when searching for travel information in other countries. The graphs included don’t show Google as a massive company with a complete strangehold on the market, as they’re consistently beat out by the likes of Amazon and eBay in countries like Germany, France, and the UK.

As an added note, Google also points out that by offering so many features within its search engine, its able to save time and effort for its users. Why would you not want to be able to check commute time and the weather in your search app while you’re already there?

This ruling will be interesting, but it certainly won’t be the end of the situation for Google, If you want to read the full internal memo, hit the link below.

Deal: Refurbished Acer C7, CB5 and Touchscreen Chromebooks up to 46% off from Ebay


Acer Chromebook Ebay deal

If you’ve been wanting to try out a Chromebook for yourself but haven’t been sold on the price quite yet, Ebay may have a deal that will change your mind. Right now, you can pick up a refurbished Acer C7, CB5 or Touchscreen Chromebook for up to 46% off.

Let’s start out with the cheapest of the bunch, Acer’s 11.6-inch C7 Chromebook (pictured above). Ebay is selling a refurbished model for just $149.99, which is 34% off the computer’s normal retail price. It’s powered by a dual-core Intel Celeron Processor with 2GB of RAM and includes all of the basics – a 1.3MP HD webcam, one HDMI port, one VGA port and a 2-in-1 memory card slot. Although the specifications aren’t the best, it’s hard denying that $150 is a great deal for this computer.

Acer CB5 Chromebook

Next up is the Acer Chromebook 13. Ebay is selling this refurbished computer for $159.99 – 46% off the normal retail price. It has a 13.3-inch full HD display, Nvidia Tegra K1 processor, 16GB of on-board storage and a battery that can last up to 11 hours on a single charge. This is perhaps the best deal out of them all, so I’d suggest checking into this if you’re in the market for a new computer.

Acer Touchscreen Chromebook

Last but not least, we have the Acer Touchscreen Chromebook. Ebay is selling the refurbished model for $189.99, which is 36% off. This Chromebook has an 11.6-inch touchscreen display and is powered by a 1.4GHz Intel Celeron processor and 2GB of RAM. While this computer doesn’t have the best specs either, 36% off is still a great deal.

All three of these Chromebooks have gotten great ratings around the web, so if you’re okay with going the refurbished route, we’d suggest you check out these deals before it’s too late. If you’re interested, head to the links below to start shopping.

Eye-tracking could be included when Google Glass is reintroduced


google_glass_uspto_eye-tracking_041415

Discovered in the files of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is an item from Google that reveals the company is exploring eye-tracking. Why would they be working with such technology? For when Glass is reintroduced to the world. It would eliminate some of the actions that require voice commands or touch by simply replying upon eye movement.

The optical paths noted by the filing include display, ambient, and eye tracking. The display optical path is the standard display that Glass users already saw. The ambient optical path monitors light sources. The eye-tracking optical path, however, is completely new and can be spotted on item 124 in the image above. It captures images of the eye to see where it is focused.

After a five year long investigation, the Wall Street Journal reports that the European Union’s chief antitrust regulator will be moving forward with a case against the search engine conglomerate, for reported violations of European law. The official announcement is expected tomorrow, when EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager meets with European commissioners.

The complaints come from several European shopping websites who said that Google manipulated search results to promote their own brands and products, at the expense of the websites in question. Google has attempted to settle the case many times in the last five years, but the discussions never reached a settlement phase. If Google is found guilty of the alleged charges, the search giant’s fine for the infractions could reach a staggering $6 billion dollars.

Google Play intros “Designed for Families” program that will make finding family friendly apps easier.

The Play store has thousands of apps that range from all sorts of categories; games, photography, educational, shooters, the list goes on and on. While it is great to have such a great assortment of apps to choose from, it does make it difficult to find those that are appropriate for kids (we wouldn’t want a toddler to be going around shooting zombies now would we). Google today has announced a new program for developers that will allow them to designate their apps to be kid friendly where soon after Google will approve them or deny them. We personally find Designed for Families to be a great idea, as it would allow finding appropriate apps for kids to be a much smoother process.

Designed for Families is definitely going to make finding apps for kids a much smoother process.

 

Developers can go ahead and submit their apps for review starting today, with Google reviewing them to make sure they meet the Designed for Families guidelines. They are also planning on adding some new ways to promote these approved apps, perhaps a new tab in the Play Store? Either way, I am sure many a parent or guardian will find this news to be a quite welcome.

Material Design guidelines updated with new sections


Inbox by Gmail

Designed to make it easier for developers to keep a cohesive look and feel to their apps, Material Design, which arrived with the launch of Android Lollipop, is now the go to look for Android applications old and new. To help clarify a few points, Google has just updated its Material Design developer guidelines with several new sections and additions to some existing content.

Among the new entries are Data Tables, Units and Measurements, App Structure, Data Truncation and an updated section for the Floating Action Button. As you probably guessed, tables deals with how to present rows and columns of data, and app structure delves into the best way to organize an app depending on its focus.

Units and measurements focuses on ensuring that content is suitable for various display resolutions, pixel ratios and higher pixel densities, which is useful in the age of QHD smartphones. Information on the FAB has been moved to a dedicated page and has received new details about behavior and transitions.

Material Design Examples

Intelligent use of the FAB, tiles and card layouts are all encouraged, but the guidelines are quite strict about their intended uses.

Additional content has also been added to the typography, cards, dialogs, tabs, and scrolling technique sections. More specifically, the guidelines now cater for different languages and taller fonts, details about actions and content for cards, and general layout techniques for menus and settings.

You can click on the source link below for a closer look at Google’s latest tweaks to its Material Design guidelines.

Google’s phone service reportedly has you paying by the gigabyte


Google's Project Fi logo

Google said it would launch the “Nexus” of phone networks in the near future, and we may now have a good idea of what that means. Android Police has unearthed Nexus 6 firmware with an app for Project Fi, which appears to be the in-progress name for Google’s wireless service. The code suggests a very different approach to mobile data than you’re probably used to, even compared to a pay-for-what-you-use offering like Ting. You’d pay only for the gigabytes you expect to use, and you’d get credit back if you don’t use as much as planned. There are no mentions of overage fees (you’d just pay the usual per-gigabyte rate), and Google would be unusual among virtual network operators in its willingness to support multiple lines and data-only devices like tablets.

Software could play an important role as well. In-app service activation isn’t entirely new, but you’d also have a way to switch your primary device through an app; tap a button and your number would move to a given phone without having to swap SIM cards. Moreover, you might have more privacy than on other carriers, since Google would make it easier to opt out of sharing your usage data.

It’s still not clear when Project Fi (or whatever it may be called) will arrive, assuming the firmware is the real deal. However, you may not have many choices in phones, at least if you’re unable to bring your own hardware. The code only talks about a “device financing” option for the Nexus 6 — we hope you like large phones, because Google may not sell you anything else on launch.

Apple iPad Mini 3 vs Google Nexus 7 (2013): pocket-sized tablet comparison


Nexus 7 2013 iPad Mini 3 back angle tt

TabTimes logo

Editor’s note: this comparison has originally been  published on our sister site TabTimes, your resource for tablets and convertibles running all operating systems. 


There is a certain amount of mobility lost in attempting to carry around many of today’s best tablets. Whether out of the Android or iOS camp, a 10-inch or larger mobile device is just not very, well, mobile. To overcome this, smaller tablets have been produced, and it is these tablets that have our attention today, once again pitting Apple against Google as we compare their borderline pocket-sized tablets.

Here, is your Apple iPad Mini 3 vs the Google Nexus 7 (2013) comprehensive shootout.

Size

Nexus 7 2013 iPad Mini 3 back pocket tt

First, the pocket test. While you might consider me to be a big guy, with big pants, I find that both the iPad Mini 3 and the Nexus 7 fit comfortably in the back pocket of my jeans, or in the cargo pocket of my shorts. This is not to say that I can sit with these tablet in my pocket, nor that they will remain secure if I go for a run, but they both fit and I can walk around without them falling out. Indeed, there is wear on my jeans from the nearly 3 years of carrying a Nexus 7 everywhere I go.

Now that that is out of the way, the 7-inch form factor of the ASUS built Google Nexus 7, and the 8-inch form factor of the Apple iPad Mini 3 should also fit in your pockets, or purses, proving to be extremely mobile. Certainly more mobile friendly than the larger tablets, like the iPad Air 2 and Nexus 9 we recently pit against one another.

We spent some time, on our sister site Android Authority, early last year discussing tablets and our preferences for them. The general conclusion from most was that the pocket-able sized tablet owners loved their devices and took them on the go, while the 9-inch and larger tablet owners admitted to having to clear dust off of their device when they go to use it.

One thing is certain, the Nexus 7 and the iPad Mini 3 offer few compromises for their size, giving you plenty of power in a manageable package.

Design

Apple iPad Air 2 iPad Mini 3 logo

The Apple iPad Mini 3 and the Google Nexus 7 (2013) are designed very differently, all things considered. Right out of the gate you should notice that the Nexus 7 is much narrower. Apple chose to stick with the 4:3 screen aspect ratio for the iPad Mini, where Google went with a widescreen format.

As we’ve previously mentioned, the iPad Mini 3 is, at least visually speaking, a dead ringer for the larger iPad Air 2. Apple did not seek to re-invent their tablet with the Mini, they simply wanted a smaller device. This means that the familiar look and feel of the iPad line continues in the iPad Mini 3, with the front face remaining clear of all physical buttons, except for that circular Home button found at the bottom middle.

Volume rocker buttons live on the right edge of the Mini, near the top. A power button graces the top edge, off to the right hand side, keeping all of your controls close together, but not easily confused for one another.

iPad Mini 3 buttons and camera tt

The back of the device rocks the centered Apple logo, up in the top left corner you’ll find the rear camera, and a little microphone slot which, from a distance, appears a blemish in the all metal back cover. That full metal back cover is solid feeling and wraps around to the front of the device, meeting with the full glass front panel.

The front edge of the metal has been polished, which gives the iPad Mini 3 a fairly attractive design that sparkles when the light hits it. Lastly, the bottom edge of the device houses dual speaker ‘grills’ that flank a centered Lightning charging and data port.

I’ve mentioned before a few minor complaints about the metal backing of the iPad design, being that the polished front edge is not the most comfortable to hold for long periods of time, and that the cooling properties of the metal also suck the heat out of your hands, making the device feel extremely cold. I wouldn’t let these things deter you from purchasing the device, but I can’t not mention them, as they were two of the most noticeable factors in my usage of the tablet.

Nexus 7 2013 back tt

As for Google’s Nexus 7, built by ASUS, it does not have a metal back, instead, it is a soft rubber feeling material. It is a smoother design, especially when compared to the first generation Nexus 7, but still comfortable to hold with enough grip for most situations. The tablet is plastic all the way around, and those with a discerning taste for electronics may feel the Nexus 7 a little on the budget-end of premium for build quality. Which is perhaps to be expected considering how affordable the tablet is.

Nexus 7 2013 back logo shiny tt

Your power button lives just above the volume rocker on the right edge, and the micro USB port lives alone centered on the bottom edge. Previous Nexus 7 tablet users will notice that the 2013 edition is a little longer and narrower then the 2012 version, but the higher resolution display should take your mind off of that.

The rear panel of the Nexus 7 proudly houses a giant Nexus logo, sprawled across sideways. In the familiar top left corner is the camera sensor and dual speakers live, one at the top and one at the bottom facing slightly backward.

Display

Nexus 7 2013 iPad Mini 3 Display ttqNexus 7 2013 iPad Mini 3 Display tt

The Apple iPad Mini 3 offers little compromise in its display. That 4:3 aspect ratio multi-touch IPS panel measures in at 7.9-inches on the diagonal, with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 for 326 ppi. While Apple’s best screen tech is reserved for the iPad Air 2, the Mini 3 is not exactly left out in the cold, treated with a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating.

We wouldn’t say that this makes the iPad Mini 3 immune to fingerprints, but it is extremely difficult to see prints when the screen is lit, and is very easy to clean.

In the real world, the iPad Mini 3 display is easy to see and look at. Brightness range takes it from comfortable in low light situations up to decently visible in direct sunlight. The auto-brightness settings are also fairly accurate, rarely do you need to correct brightness manually. If you do need to correct the brightness, and you are not exactly certain how, be sure to check out our how to change display brightness piece.

The Nexus 7 is a fairly different experience, as far as tablets go. The multi-touch display measures in at 7.02-inches diagonally with the default Gorilla Glass anti-glare and anti-fingerprint characteristics baked right in. Resolution measures 1920×1200, which is a little wider than full HD, but looks great with a 323 ppi count.

As with the iPad, the Nexus 7 has a more than adequate brightness range and sufficient auto-brightness capabilities. It is easy to look at for extended lengths and comfortable to touch, for those gaming sessions.

Both the iPad Mini 3 and the Nexus 7 offer excellent touch sensitivity and accuracy. They may be a little small to comfortably handle most productivity tasks like editing work papers and such, but are great for tablet gaming and media consumption, such as reading your favorite book.

Performance

Apple iPad Mini 3 waterfall

In a move that we believe is a bit unfortunate, these tablets have been manufactured as much for affordability as for performance. That may be doubly so for the Nexus 7. Neither tablet offers the best specs available at their time of build, but that certainly does not mean that the overall experience suffers.

The iPad Mini 3 benefits from iOS’s simple user interface, app icons and folders grace your home screens, but little more. Keeping it simple means that the overall experience is very fast and smooth. Although Apple already had a newer and faster chipset available, used in the iPad Air 2, the iPad Mini 3 rocks the previous gen. A7 chipset.

While most apps load and run without a hitch, you may notice a spinning wheel here or there for the largest of applications.

Nexus 7 2013 back logo tt

The Nexus 7 is another story. Launched nearly a year and a half earlier than the iPad Mini 3, it should be no surprise that the spec sheet reads off a list of parts inferior to the iPad. This, however, speaks to the efficiency of the Nexus 7 that we could rightly consider this very VS article.

Real world use of the Nexus 7 was some of the best performance ever seen on a tablet when it first launched. Newer and larger apps, and versions of the Android operating system, have weighed down the performance of late, you are likely to experience a few slowdowns here and there, but perhaps not as many as you’d expect for a now nearly two year old tablet.

The overall experience on the Nexus 7 is still snappy and smooth for your normal day to day stuff, but your gaming experience may be a little shy of smooth.

Hardware

iPad Mini 3 Nexus 7 2013 back tt

The iPad Mini 3 brings to the table the 64-bit A7 chip with M7 motion coprocessor. A simple set of ports are available on the unit, including the standard headphone jack and Apple’s Lightning connector port. Hidden under the Home button is a fingerprint scanner that allows for biometric authenticated access into your tablet.

Audio output is by the bottom facing speakers, sound is crisp and more than loud enough for most situations.

Apple iPad Air 2 iPad Mini 3 logo

The device measures 7.87-inches tall by 5.3-inches across with a respectable 7.2mm (0.28-inch) depth. The metal shell provides the utmost in strength, with a gentle twist and bend pressure of the iPad Mini 3 displaying no indication of any torsion in the tablet, but we’re not about to push that too hard.

Other sensors on board include a gyro, accelerometer and an ambient light sensor. Keeping everything running is a 6350mAh battery, which Apple says will provide upwards of 10 hours of web surfing, music or video playback. In our time with it, the device does last for quite a while between charging, longer than the iPad Air 2. Stay tuned for a full battery life test.

Nexus 7 2013 camera buttons tt

The Nexus 7 was considered a powerful unit in its time, more than doubling the performance of the then one year old Nexus 7 2012. Powered by the Snapdragon S4 Pro SoC with 2GB of RAM. Look for the standard headphone jack and micro USB connector port on the top and bottom edges, respectively. The Adreno 320 GPU was also one of the best in the day, keeping even the most strenuous of games flying at a nice pace.

Stereo speakers with full 5.1 surround sound output make for a great audio experience from the Nexus 7. Audio could be a little louder and it may not offer the same kick as the HTC BoomSound equipped Nexus 9, but the rear facing speakers hold their own for your normal daily use.

Nexus 7 2013 back speaker tt

The Nexus 7 (2013), with its 7-inch display measures 7.87-inches tall and 4.49-inches across, it is a tad thicker at 8.64mm (0.34-inches) in depth. Despite having a plastic back cover, the Nexus 7 is also a very solid feeling tablet. Once again, it feels very sturdy and shows no signs of compromise when applying a real world use twist or bending pressure.

Sensors on board the Nexus 7 include an accellerometer, gyro, magnetometer, compass and ambient light sensor. In addition, this tablet is NFC capable. Battery life is advertised at up to 10 hours of basic web browsing, music or 720p video playback out of the 3950mAh battery. As you might imagine, we’ve never seen 10 hours of screen on time, but 4-5 hours is pretty common under light usage.

Camera

Nexus 7 2013 iPad Mini 3 back camera tt

Both the iPad Mini 3 and the Nexus 7 offer a 5MP rear camera sensor. They are also both f/2.4 with auto-focus and 1080P video recording. Neither offer a flash, leaving you best with daytime photography.

As the similarities continue, both tablets offer Panoramic and HDR capture. The Nexus 7, thanks to Google’s Camera app, also offers up Photosphere full 360 degree photo capture.

The front side of these tablets offer up 1.2mp camera sensors, for all of your FaceTime or Hangouts needs. 720p video capture is not a premium these days, but is more than adequate for a little video conference.

In the end, the differences between these cameras is not on paper, below is a quick photo gallery of sample photos from each tablet. Images from the Apple iPad Mini 3 come first, Google’s Nexus 7 come second. Let me say up front, colors are significantly more accurate on the Nexus 7, but exposure is a little off.  You get to choose which one produces more appealing photos.

Software

Apple iPad Air 2 iPad Mini 3 front

Straight out of the gates, the fundamental difference between these tablets is the operating system powering them. The iPad Mini 3 runs iOS, recently updated to version 8.3, and the Nexus 7 runs Android, currently in the midst of updating to Android 5.1 Lollipop.

iOS on the iPad Mini 3 is a solid and fluid experience. This tablet benefits wholly from the vast number of tablet apps available in the App Store. When you first open the box, you can get by for basic web surfing and navigation with just the default apps pre-installed on the device. However, to take advantage of that large catalog of available games and apps, you’ll need to log into the device with your Apple ID.

As with your other modern iOS powered devices, there is no pressing need to connect your iPad to your PC and sync data through iTunes, but this technique may prove the best when it comes to transferring files, such as your pictures or music.

Nexus 7 2013 Lollipop app drawer tt

As for the Nexus 7, it runs Google’s in-house flavor of Android. At first launch, it rocked Android Jellybean, but as a Nexus device, Google makes it a priority to push updates for the tablet as fast as possible. A the time of writing, Android 5.0.2 was the latest version of the OS to roll out through OTA updates, but Android 5.1 Lollipop is expected very soon.

Many users have reported that Android 5.0.2 runs poorly and may actually cause serious harm to your Nexus 7. While we can confirm that the OS is more sluggish than it should be, we count ourselves lucky that our tablet has not been bricked. Android 5.1 promises to fix both of these concerns. Certainly we’ve seen significant speed increases on other Android devices that have received the update.

Lollipop-statue-Android-Google-straight-on

As with the iPad, there is no immediate need to connect your Nexus 7 to your PC for any reason. Certainly, Android does not come with a companion app, like iTunes, that sometimes requires this connection. Android has been designed as best possible to always be wireless, and the Nexus 7 is a shining example of this. On the flip side, however, connecting to your PC offers little assistance for file transfers, time to find a cool app for the process.

Pricing and final thoughts

Nexus 7 2013 iPad Mini 3 back tt

In the iPad Mini 3 and Nexus 7 we have two capable and easily portable devices ready to keep you entertained and connected just as well on your couch as at the office or on the train. Both devices will slip into a pocket or purse, if only barely, and come with WiFi only or LTE equipped configurations.

Apple iPad Mini 3 Google Nexus 7, by ASUS
  • 16GB – $399
  • 32GB – $499
  • 128GB – $599
  • Add $130 for cellular capability
  • Officially discontinued, but originally sold for:
  • 16GB – $229
  • 32GB – $269
  • 32GB LTE – $349

Although the Nexus 7 is officially discontinued, it is easy to find the Google tablet around places like Amazon for as low as $159 for the 16GB model.

In this particular tablet shootout we have a clear winner when it comes to shear horsepower and overall performance. The Apple iPad Mini 3, due in part to the fact that it is a year and half newer than the Nexus 7, is the tablet that you will want, assuming speed is your main concern.

As much as the iPad Mini 3 is the clear winner in performance, do not underestimate the Nexus 7 and the Android ecosystem. Plainly put, if we shift focus to determine the winner in a bang-for-the-buck perspective, the Nexus 7 is the tablet to beat. Also important to note that many have invested heavily into either the iOS or Android ecosystems, I would always recommend leaning toward the tablet that is from the ecosystem you’ve previously invested in, unless you are in the mood for a new way of doing things. Android fans, be sure to check out the Nexus 9 if you want more horsepower.

Does the black slate of a Google Nexus 7 appeal to you over the shiny metallic finish of the Apple iPad Mini 3?

Google MVNO Details Revealed?

Could the mobile wireless plan Google has been hinting at just leak completely into the open? According to a report by Android Police, we’re learning about what it is that Google intends to do with a Mobile Virtual Operator Network (MVNO).Apparently, they got their hands on an application from a leaked firmware build for a Nexus 6. Inside the application was a treasure trove of data that includes the payment system, activation protocol, and much more.

The application has a codename of “TYCHO”, which could be what Google will use for all the software related to the MVNO. The codename for the network itself appears to still be “NOVA”. This application appears to be similar to that of apps from other wireless carriers, like Sprint or Verizon Customers. Consumers will be able to pay bills and manage usage, as well as adjust plans based on a data cap. Tycho also includes the ability to activate service and request a new number directly from the application. TYCHO also references “Project Fi”. Now the people at Android Police believe that to be the name of the entirety of the new network. Of course, when all this is said and done, it will in all likelihood be known as Google Wireless.

The application has appeared to reveal that customers that have any left over data from the last billing cycle rolled over to the next month. No different than what some customers who use T-Mobile experience. Also, multiple phones will be able to use the same pooled data plan. Anyone who is close to going over the data allowance can purchase additional data for the same cost per gigabyte.

Along with this came some other bits of information, such as there will be a data-only plan for Tablets and WiFi hotspots. Another, and perhaps even more important point, is that it appears that people will be able to automatically switch carriers without the need for an additional SIM card. Although enabling devices to switch between Sprint and T-Mobile for better data coverage was rumored earlier this year, any specific details are still murky at this point.

Finally, there are references to being able to port a number belonging to Google Voice onto the new network, and references to being able to finance a purchase of the Nexus 6, though no specifics about the financing were available. This will also feed the rumors about the phablet being the only handset able to work with the service, however, there are also no clear answers here.

Our suggestion would be to look forward to Google I/O to get any clear answers, and a possible announcement, from Google themselves.
