Google may be forced to pay out compensation to more than 5 million Brits if a class action lawsuit in the UK is successful. A group, labeling itself “Google You Owe Us,” is taking Google to court, claiming it unlawfully collected personal information by bypassing privacy settings on Apple's iPhone Safari browser. Google, Facebook, and several other online advertising networks were caught in 2012 using a workaround to bypass restrictions, allowing the companies to deposit cookies on an iPhone even if the device was set to block them. While Google claimed at the time its practice was limited to the company's failed Google+ initiative, the UK lawsuit alleges that Google used the workaround to track “internet browsing history, which Google then used to sell a targeted advertising service.” Google's revenues rely on selling targeted ads, and obtaining as much personal information on its users to sell services and recommend products. Alphabet's Google introduced an app on Wednesday designed to help Android smartphone users stay under the limits of pricey mobile data packages in developing countries. It's now available to download via Google Play. Datally, the new service, lists data consumption by app and enables users to shut off data transmissions by apps of their choosing, Google group product manager Josh Woodward told Reuters in an interview. It also provides a directory of nearby Wi-Fi networks that includes user commentary on their quality. The offering is the latest from Google's Next Billion Users division, an internal effort to make internet services more accessible to people in countries where technology infrastructure is not as fast or affordable as in the United States or Western Europe. Previously, Google announced a peer-to-peer payment app aimed at Indian consumers and a low-bandwidth version of YouTube.
There may be nothing new under the sun. But something new was just discovered deep in the ocean. The Mariana Trench, in the western pacific, near Guam, is the deepest stretch of ocean on Earth. These waters are mysterious and difficult to study, but so far scientists know the depths are home to amphipods and other crustaceans, sea cucumbers, jellyfish, and tiny one-celled organisms called foraminifera. Now, we know the deepest waters are also home to the Mariana snailfish. This two-inch-long, translucent, scaleless fish has just won the crown for most intrepid sea traveler among the fishes, swimming deeper than 26,600 ft. Officially known as pseudoliparis swirei, the snailfish was introduced to the world in the journal Zootaxa (pdf) on Nov. 28. Weeks after launching its very first bezel-less display-sporting Pegasus 4S in China, Asus has unveiled the ZenFone Max Plus (M1) as its second offering with an 18:9 display. The new handset also sports a dual camera setup and is officially listed in Russia. The Taiwanese manufacturer is likely to launch the new ZenFone Max model to other regions following its initial debut in the Russian market. The Asus ZenFone Max Plus (M1) features a 5.7-inch IPS display with a full-HD+ (1080x2160 pixels) resolution and an 18:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, the handset has a MediaTek MT6750T processor that was previously seen powering the ZenFone 3s Max, coupled with 2GB or 3GB of RAM. There are two storage options - 16GB and 32GB onboard storage - with a dedicated microSD card support for expanding the built-in storage (up to 256GB). The handset has dual-SIM support with 4G network access.
t's been conventional wisdom for some time now that America's opioid epidemic began at the pharmacy. Now there are numbers that put any doubt to rest. More than half of all people who succumbed to an overdose between 2001 to 2007 were chronic pain sufferers who filled an opioid prescription and sometimes even saw a doctor in the month before they died. Only 4 percent were ever diagnosed as having an abuse problem, said Dr. Mark Olfson, one of five researchers who conducted a massive study of the crisis and its causes for Columbia University Medical Center. Flipkart has just gone live with its official page for this upcoming Redmi phone although the page shares no hardware specifics of the said phone. All we know for now is that the phone will - it is already known courtesy Xiaomi -- come equipped with a long-lasting battery. Considering that the phone is coming from the Redmi banner, we can totally expect it to cost under Rs 10,000 on arrival. Considering that Xiaomi is banking heavily on the battery aspect of this Redmi phone, there's a possibility that the phone in question could be the Redmi 5A. The Redmi 5A, which was launched in China in October, is also an entry-level phone, its main USP being the fact that it is claimed to offer a whopping 8-days of battery life.
A new study published by two researchers from Purdue University has revealed that the total vehicular damages caused by Pokemon GO players who engaged the game while driving amounted from $2 billion to $7.3 billion in the United States over the period spanning the first 148 days following the title's launch. In the Tippecanoe County in Indiana alone, which is the scope of the research, it was found that the overall cost of vehicular accidents due to the augmented reality (AR) game was between $5.2 million and $25.5 million during the same period. A wave of new tobacco ads debuted across prime-time television and published in newspapers this weekend, but they aren't promoting what you might expect. They are “corrective statements” that a federal court judge ordered tobacco companies in the United States to release to inform the public about the dangers of smoking. They were released beginning Friday, according to the Department of Justice. In 1999, the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the country's largest cigarette manufacturers and tobacco trade organizations, claiming civil fraud and racketeering violations over the course of more than 50 years. Then, in 2006, federal judge Gladys Kessler ruled that tobacco companies had violated civil racketeering laws and ordered them to put stronger language and warning labels in their marketing and to print ads detailing smoking's health effects. Under court order, the ads are paid for by the tobacco companies Philip Morris USA, Lorillard, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. and Altria Group. If you are an Android phone user, you'll find the YouTube Go application on Google Play store. We tried checking the same -- but it seems -- the stable build of the application is yet to roll out for us. When we tried checking for the app on Play store -- the YouTube Go (Unreleased) version was available for us - on both mobile and desktop Play store. Below the application, it was mentioned -- "This is an unreleased app. It may be unstable." However, even though it shows that the app is an unreleased one -- you can still install it -- but as already mentioned -- it may be unstable.
