Google employees will go out Thursday to protest the company’s inappropriate sexual behaviour management

Google employees will go out Thursday to protest the company’s inappropriate sexual behaviour management

English, Entertainment, Featured, Social media

A New York Times investigation revealed that Google gave Android creator Andy Rubin a $90 million financial deal despite multiple relationships he had with Google workers. Because of this, and because of accusations of inappropriate sexual behaviour, some 200 employees of the search giant are planning a strike, according to BuzzFeed News.

 

We have contacted Google for more information.

The strike, or “women’s walk,” as mentioned in the company’s internal forums, is scheduled for Thursday.

 

Following the NYT report, Google’s chief executive, Sundar Pichai along with the vice president of personnel operations, Eileen Naughton, signed a memorandum of the company in which he admitted that 48 people had been fired at the company for sexual harassment in the last two years, 13 of which held a senior or senior management position. None of them, according to the note, received a financial agreement.

 

“Today’s story in the New York Times was hard to read,” they wrote. “We take it very seriously to ensure that we provide a safe and inclusive workplace. We want to assure you that we review all complaints about sexual harassment or inappropriate behaviour, investigate and take action. ”

 

Rubin left Google in 2014 after an internal investigation found that the allegations of inappropriate sexual behaviour against him were true. The details of his departure, however, were never disclosed. It was not until The Information published its own report on Rubin’s bad actions last fall that the details of the sexual harassment story began to emerge. Following the story of The Information, Rubin said goodbye to Essential to “discuss personal matters.”

 

After leaving Google, Rubin founded Essential Products, a smartphone company that raised venture capital funds just to cancel the development of its next phone, laid off 30 percent of its staff and reportedly went on sale.

Google and Disney launch Little Golden Books, interactive books that work with Google Home

Google and Disney launch Little Golden Books, interactive books that work with Google Home

English, Entertainment, Featured

Children now are too young to remember how Disney books were, which combined narration and sounds with physical books to make reading more entertaining. Now, they may have put their hands on more modern books with interactive buttons that allow you to press on various parts of the story. Google is launching the 2018 version of this “storytime + sounds” experience. In partnership with Disney, the company is introducing an interactive storytelling feature for Google Home devices that combines real-world books with voice recognition technology.

These new story experiences will feature a selection in Little Golden Books, as they are read aloud, Google explains.

Google currently supports titles such as  Moana, Toy Story 3, Coco,  Jack Jack Attack, along with classics such as  Peter Pan, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, The Three Little Pigs, Mickey Mouse and their Spaceship and the Christmas Tale of Mickey.

 

These new Little Golden Books will be on sale this week along with Google Home Mini devices.

To start, you just have to say: “Hello Google, let’s read along with Disney.”

 

As the child (or the parent) reads the book aloud, Google Home will reproduce the relevant sound effects and music for the story to come alive.

Unlike the experiences that traditional books transmitted to children in recent decades, Google Assistant is much smarter. It knows, for example, if he has jumped forward in the book or if he has taken a break in reading because of an interruption, such as when the child asks a question or inserts his own comment.

 

At this point, the wizard will play background music in the background until you start reading again.

 

At its launch, the feature will be available on Google Home / Home Mini devices, but the company says it will reach other smart speakers and smart displays that have the Google Assistant incorporated at the end of the year.

The new storytelling feature is not Disney’s first foray into entertainment based on a voice assistant. It also offers a variety of other games on Google Home. In addition, Disney also works with Amazon on its Echo devices.

 

He also partnered with Amazon in the Echo Dot Kids edition, specialized children’s content, which includes exclusive features such as “Disney Plot Twist” and “Disney Stories”, among others. However, Amazon’s version of “Disney Stories” is only a function where children can listen to audible stories but it is not designed to work with accompanying physical books, as in the case of Little Golden Books.

Sony reveals the full list of PlayStation Classic games

Finally, Sony has revealed the complete list of games for PlayStation Classic, and it seems that it will please fans who are looking for a nostalgia blow… In addition to the games previously announced, such as Final Fantasy VII and Ridge Racer Type 4, you will find definitive titles like  Metal Gear Solid,  Resident Evil Director’s Cut and Twisted Metal . At the same time, however, there are some curious choices and notorious omissions.

To start, you’ll find games like the original Grand Theft Auto and Rainbow Six. Both are good titles, but you may feel shocked if you expect GTA V or Siege . It’s also unusual to see Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee: it’s a well-known game, but not a blockbuster. And, of course, there will surely be one or three classic games that you would like to be on the list. Where is Gran Turismo or Wipeout , for example? Undoubtedly, Sony has had to take into account the variety of games and licensing issues when choosing the list. You can see the full list below:

 

  • Battle Arena toshinden
  • Cool Boarders 2
  • Derby Destruction
  • Final Fantasy VII
  • Grand Theft Auto
  • Intelligent Qube
  • Jumping Flash
  • Metal Gear Solid

YouTube could come to Nintendo Switch this month

YouTube could come to Nintendo Switch this month

English, Entertainment, Gadgets

Nintendo Switch has been strengthening since its launch last year, with a lot of games released, but it still lacks many of the popular applications that you can find on other devices.

 

One of the missing applications is YouTube, but this could be solved in the very near future: some Switch users have seen that YouTube appears in the “Suggestions” section of the Nintendo website, available from November 8. It is not a direct confirmation, but it seems to be a fairly obvious suggestion.

 

We don’t have anything official about YouTube or Nintendo, but we do know that Netflix and YouTube features were previously included in a list of “The best Nintendo Switch purchases”. The list was subsequently modified to eliminate these two transmission services.

 

Will Netflix be next?

Even with the solid line of new games that appear continuously, it would make a lot of sense for Nintendo to add to the advantages of Netflix or YouTube, allowing users to relax and watch some videos to rest from their gaming sessions.

 

At the moment, Hulu is the only streaming service that can be obtained on Nintendo Switch, and is only available in the United States. Hopefully the arrival of YouTube on the Nintendo Swift (if it really appears) is the beginning of new services that appear on the portable console. The services of Spotify and Amazon Prime Video would certainly also be welcome.

 

Given that the Switch can be connected to a TV, this would be another way to make YouTube and maybe YouTube Music, also appear on the big screen. We will have to wait and see what happens next Thursday, November 8.

Apple could launch an iPhone 5G in 2020

Apple could launch an iPhone 5G in 2020

English, Future, Gadgets

The project for the next generation of 5G networks is only in its early stages, but that will not prevent phone manufacturers from incorporating 5G capabilities into their phones as soon as possible. According to a new report, Apple will join the party in 2020.

 

Internal sources say that the Intel 8161 5G modem chip will be the one that will provide this 5G connectivity, although apparently Intel is fighting the heat problems that the prototype of the chip seems to have and thus develop it for commercial use.

 

It seems that Apple is willing to allow other companies to reach the market first with their 5G phones. Oppo, LG, Samsung, Huawei, Lenovo and Sony have confirmed or have at least said that 5G phones will be launched in 2019.

 

Speed ​​is priority

Depending on where you live in the world, you may have become accustomed to seeing the 4G or LTE symbol on your phone on a regular basis. The deployment of 5G in terms of real networks will be delayed with respect to the arrival of phones with 5G capacity; As with 4G, it will first appear to the inhabitants of the main cities, and then it will be extended to other places.

 

The improvements that 5G will offer us are not only reside in brutal speed, but also in the band, which will be wider. That means that it allows the connection of more devices at the same time and that there will be a better reception when we are in very busy areas.

 

Download speeds have the potential to be a thousand times faster than 4G – 10Gbps instead of 100Mbps – although this is a theoretical maximum (the reality will be somewhat different). By the time Apple’s rumored iPhone 5G arrives in 2020, you may even be able to connect to a 5G network somewhere near where you live.

This home gym can make you stop making excuses and start exercising.

This home gym can make you stop making excuses and start exercising.

Unless you are a triathlon instructor, you may be able to exercise more than you currently do. Exercising is not just getting fit (or staying fit): exercise can improve memory, reduce the risk of chronic diseases and make you a happier and more energetic person.

We all know how good exercise can be, why do we put a lot of silly excuses to avoid it at all costs?

 

“I’m tired.”

“I’m busy.”

“The gym is too far.”

 

Does it sound familiar to you?

 

Exercising at home could be a way to counter these common excuses, and something like the BodyBoss 2.0 portable home gym could be a good starting point. (Also, it’s not that expensive, and you’ll have it on hand whenever you need it.)

 

Whenever we think of home gyms, we think of rooms dedicated to treadmills, exercise bikes and other equipment that take up a lot of space. Body Boss 2.0. is different. Composed of a sturdy non-skid board, an exercise bar and two resistance bands, this innovative kit can slide under your bed when you don’t use it, which makes it ideal for small places.

 

So how much can be done with this equipment? A lot, apparently. BodyBoss states that this little kit can perform more than 300 different exercises, including squats, strides and bicep curls … You can also add more resistance bands to your exercise bars to increase the difficulty.

 

Normally, the BodyBoss 2.0 home gym is valued at € 156.5, but you can currently reduce that price and save an additional 15% with the coupon code  BOO15.  You can take a look on the official website.

The importance of choosing a good Hosting Service

The importance of choosing a good Hosting Service

Entrepreneurship, Featured, Home

The Internet is very much part of our daily life and every day more companies seek to have an online presence to reach more people to obtain new potential customers. In the process of launching any online business, one of the fundamental aspects that every company must take into account is the choice of a good hosting service, since a suitable Web Hosting will save us many problems and headaches in the future.

 

On the web, it is relatively easy to find companies that, at a first glance, offer great hosting plans, some even free, but this type of web hosting usually has very little information about what they really offer, or they deliberately hide some of their conditions. When you are looking for information on what hosting service to choose for your website, the first recommendation to avoid any future problems is to focus on a web hosting company that correctly details the hosting plans it offers and what is included in each of them. This way, we will know what exactly what we are paying for and we’ll also know what to expect in return.

 

When looking at the most common web hosting problems that we can avoid by choosing a good, reliable hosting service, the following stand out: Slow website loading and browsing speed; lack of attention and customization and slowness in solving any incident; the concealment of the limitations of the web hosting plan itself; or a low level of security that may compromise our data.

 

Each of these problems can affect us in different ways, causing a very negative impact on our business. A good web hosting service plays a fundamental role in the speed of website navigation, and is a key factor for our page to get more traffic and, therefore, more customers. If a web page takes too long to load, or its internal navigation is very slow, it will cause users to leave the site, in addition to negatively affecting the web positioning of the page in search engines such as Google.

According to the latest studies, 75% of users leave a web page if it takes more than 4 seconds to load and about 88% of Internet users would not re-enter a website where they have had a bad experience.

The truth is that, as long as there are no problems, everything can seem excellent to us, but the real problems begin when we find an incident with the service and we must wait for our hosting provider to solve it for us.

 

Many companies only offer limited support, simply a section of frequently asked questions (FAQ) or a generic forum to consult. It is essential that our web hosting service does not only provide us with professional support, but also guarantees personalized attention and online support available 24/7, 365 days a year.

 

In addition to being clear about the conditions of what we hire, to get more customers our website must be safe and reliable for users, guaranteeing the protection of their data. In this sense it will be our web hosting company that should provide us with a high level of security, protecting data from hacker attacks or possible attempts at identity theft or phising. If our hosting service is provided by resources from industry leaders such as Microsoft Azure, they should be able to guarantee the security of our data at all times and they might even create daily backups of our website which will be one less things to worry about in the future regarding security of the data stored on our website.

A more specific case of problems that may arise due to bad hosting is in relation to WordPress: one of the most popular blogging and Internet web creation services. While WordPress is relatively simple to use, if we have a problem we may need to spend a considerable amount of time looking for possible solutions.

 

The most common incidents with WordPress are usually slow loading and navigation, problems with sending emails; security errors; errors in resetting passwords; problems with “lost” files; or the classic error screenshots “Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceded ” and “request entity too large error”.

All these common errors in WordPress which usually have a common root: a problem with hosting. Because of this, a specialized web hosting service in WordPress is recommended to avoid possible problems, and if they occur, they are able to give us an immediate solution.

As a last tip, before choosing between a free hosting provider or a specialized web hosting service, we must ask ourselves what that company earns from us and what it can offer us. Reviewing the plans and conditions in detail of each of the available alternative can help us choose the service that best suits what we are looking for, although we will need professional web hosting if we really seek to strengthen our business with a website that is safe, reliable and always be available to our customers.

Alibaba launches AliExpress Leisure, a new entertainment focused platform

Alibaba launches AliExpress Leisure, a new entertainment focused platform

English, Home

The e-commerce giant Alibaba has not stopped growing and expanding since its foundation, and much of its success is thanks to AliExpress, the best known brand of this Chinese private consortium.

The latest figures released by the company show overwhelming data. AliExpress currently has more than one billion products for sale and about 675 million active consumers.

The growth strategy is to diversify its offer, and the next step is the launch of “AliExpress Leisure” (known as AliExpress OCIO in Spanish), a new platform that puts the company fully into the entertainment market, offering a wide range of cultural products and services that includes from the sale of tickets for all kinds of events and shows, to guided tours in museums, gastronomic experiences, amusement parks, or to benefit from special promotions.

This initiative of AliExpress Leisure, a pioneer worldwide, will also be present in Spain, since the brand has traditionally opted for the Spanish market where it has always obtained very good results. Currently, Spain is the third most important market for the company outside of China.

Companies that are part of this new platform can benefit from the advantages that the company offers to its affiliated sellers, with the aim of encouraging show promoters to sell their tickets on the platform. The initiative AliExpress Leisure has already been joined by several well-known companies in the industry as Roller Coaster Group, Locker, Minube, Disorder Events, Planet Events, Travel Queen or Elektrik.
