    Google VP Vint Cerf Warns Of Impending ‘Digital Dark Age’

    We often talk about the importance of backing up data and keeping multiple backups, preferably in different locations -- an offsite archive is insurance against floods, fires, earthquakes, and other unfortunate incidents. That's great for short-term situations, but in the long run, does having all these backups really matter? Vint Cerf, considered the father of the Internet and currently serving as VP of Google, warns of what he calls the "digital Dark Age."

    Cue the ominous music foreboding something bad about to happen. This digital Dark Age he speaks of is something he sees affecting future generations as today's hardware and software enters into obsolescence. It's a topic he recently discussed at a science conference in San Jose and is one that he's truly worried about.

    "I worry a great deal about that," Cerf told BBC's science correspondent, Pallab Ghosh. "You and I are experiencing things like this. Old formats of documents that we've created or presentations may not be readable by the latest version of the software because backwards compatibility is not always guaranteed."


    Cerf points out that over time, we end up accumulating mountains of digital data, but eventually forget what it is, with no way to access it.

    I'm not as worried about a digital Dark Age as Cerf is, though I've see his point played out on a smaller scale in my own home. I have 3.5-inch disks containing pictures and, well, I can't even say what else might be on them. If I really wanted to, I could still access them by picking up a floppy drive and finding a motherboard that supports it, though as time goes on, that option becomes more difficult.

    What Cerf is talking about is that very sort of thing, but on a much larger scale and a longer time frame.

    "The solution is to take an X-ray snapshot of the content and the application and the operating system together, with a description of the machine that it runs on, and preserve that for long periods of time. And that digital snapshot will recreate the past in the future," Cerf says.

    Even that has downsides. A company would need to provide the service, and it's rare for a firm to stick around for hundreds of years -- just ask Radio Shack. Nevertheless, it's something that's interesting to think about.

    'VR' For Kids: Google, Mattel Resurrect Iconic View-Master With Google Cardboard

    The View-Master, first introduced back in 1939 and one of the most iconic toys of the 20th century, gave users a way of viewing slides that was more realistic than any regular photograph. Mattel has a long history of selling View-Masters, but because of the advancement of technology, it's become a relic.
    Now, Google and Mattel have teamed up to produce a new version for the 21st century.
    This new View-Master uses a plastic version of Cardboard, Google's cheap version of a VR kit. You slot a smartphone into the end of the device and then hold the headset against your eyes. Using a View-Master application, and what is being called an "experience reel," users will be able to see a 360-degree image.
    Unlike the film reels used in the old View-Master, the experience reels are placed in front of the user and does not go inside the device. The user simply looks at the reel, and then the 3D images will come onto the display of the smartphone and can be viewed. You don't actually need the reels, though. You can simply download the files straight to your smartphone, but the reels do add an extra layer of fun for children who might enjoy collecting them.
    With this device, Mattel hopes to bring virtual reality to users on a budget who can't afford alternative options like Oculus Rift, or even Samsung's Gear VR. For kids, it's a neat little introduction to the world of VR, or at least into Mattel's version of VR, with the added fun of tying it to an old and popular toy.
    Mattel plans to sell the View-Master for $30, and the experience reels are available for a price of $15 for a set of four.
    Apple users who wish to use the device will need to hold off a little longer, as currently, the application is only available on Android, but Mattel is working on an iOS version.

    Google Helpouts is shutting down in April, slow growth to blame

    Google has announced that it is shutting down Helpouts, the online platform that allowed everyday people to sell their skills and services online via video chat.
    In announcing the closure, Google said Helpouts has been a home for people to connect with experts on topics they want to learn about or seek advice and solutions to everyday challenges. Although the community includes some engaged and loyal contributors, it simply hasn’t grown at the pace they had expected and as a result, the decision was made to shut it down on April 20, 2015.
    On that date, users will be able to download their Helpouts history using Google Takeout. This service will remain available until November 1 of this year.
    As TechCrunch highlights, Helpouts may have been doomed from the get-go. While not necessarily a bad idea on its own, it does somewhat overlap with Google’s other video site – YouTube. Sure, you can’t connect with a live person on YouTube but if you look hard enough, odds are that you’ll find that recipe or photography tip free of charge.
    Recent changes in tax laws in the EU likely didn’t help matters, either. Residents in Ireland and the UK, for example, are now only able to offer free Helpouts and those in need of advice can only accept free Helpouts. I doubt there are very many people sitting around webcams waiting to dole out advice when monetization isn’t an option.

    Google Stops Playing Hardball With Exploit Disclosures, Offers 14-Day Grace Period For Patches

    Google has been hitting tech companies with a few right hooks in recent months with regards to zero day exploits. As a part of Google’s “Project Zero” program, its security researchers discover security vulnerabilities in software products, and report its findings to the vendor. The vendor has 90 days from the time of first disclosure to patch the problem, or Google goes public with the full details of the exploit. At that point, anyone can pour over the details to take advantage of the exploit.

    Google busted Microsoft’s chops in early January when it failed to adhere to Google’s 90-day window by disclosing a vulnerability that allowed non-administrator account to escalate their privileges to gain administrator rights. Microsoft wasn’t happy at all about the disclosure, and was particularly miffed because it had specifically told Google that a patch was baking in the oven and would be delivered on January 13 — less than two weeks after Google threw a sucker punch.
    “Although following through keeps to Google’s announced timeline for disclosure, the decision feels less like principles and more like a ‘gotcha’, with customers the ones who may suffer as a result,” warned Chris Betz, Senior Director for Microsoft’s Trustworthy Computing division. “We believe those who fully disclose a vulnerability before a fix is broadly available are doing a disservice to millions of people and the systems they depend upon.”

    Google was unfettered by Microsoft’s pleas and disclosed two more Windows vulnerabilities later that month. And for good measure, Google also targeted Apple by disclosing three vulnerabilities in OS X.
    Well it appears that Google has finally gotten the hint, and is backing down a bit from its firm stance on disclosing zero day vulnerabilities. Google announced today via its Project Zero blog that if the original 90-day window expires, it would now give companies a 14-day grace period if they agree to release a patch to fix the vulnerability during that time. This grace period would have protected Microsoft from the elevation-of-privileges vulnerability that was disclosed in early January.
    Google goes on to note, “Public disclosure of an unpatched issue now only occurs if a deadline will be significantly missed (2 weeks+).” In addition, Google has taken steps to give companies a break if a disclosure deadline falls on a weekend or a U.S. public holiday. In that case, “the deadline will be moved to the next normal work day.”
    For its part, Microsoft said that these changes are a step in the right direction, but are still somewhat misguided. "While it is positive to see aspects of disclosure practices adjust, we disagree with arbitrary deadlines because each security issue is unique and end-to-end update development and testing time varies," said Betz in a statement to ComputerWorld. “When finders release proof-of-concept exploit code, or other information publicly before a solution is in place, the risk of attacks against customers goes up."
    It looks like the war of words between Google and Microsoft will continue, even with this relaxation of Google’s Project Zero disclosure policy.

    Toshiba starts making cameras for Project Ara

    Toshiba has shown off two new camera modules that it is developing for Google’s modular smartphone, currently named ‘Project Ara’. There are two versions at present, a 5 megapixel camera module and a 13 megapixel one. These cameras can be swapped in and out of the handset, allowing for easy upgrades.
    Toshiba’s two camera modules are rear facing but the company is working on a two megapixel camera for the front of the device. We should be seeing early versions of many modules soon as Project Ara is due to launch in select markets later this year, which will help Google work out how it wants to approach the ambitious project.

    However, while Project Ara is due to go out for a test drive this year, Toshiba’s cameras won’t be showing up until 2016, according to the development plan.
    Toshiba’s Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Shardul Kazi, as hinted that the company’s own modules could cost anywhere between £30 and £300, so we should see a wide range of modules available in the future to suit every budget.
    Project Ara’s main selling point is the ability to pick and choose your own parts, effectively designing your perfect smartphone. It is an interesting concept but how successful it will be still remains to be seen.

    Google Announces a Chinese Version of Developers YouTube Channel For China

    Google is expanding its Android platform for mobile developers in China after the announcement of a local version of its Google Developers YouTube channel exclusively for the country.

    Users will have to use a VPN to surpass the Great Firewall

    Last November, the US firm stepped ahead and allowed Android app developers in China to make money via their apps. However it was limited to make that money only from users outside of China. This new channel will also help by the growth in access to information and resources.
    In a Google Developers Blog spot, it is said:


    “Today, the Google Developer Platform team is launching a Chinese language and captioned YouTube channel, aiming to make it easier for the developers in China to learn more about Google services and technologies around mobile, web and the cloud. The channel includes original content in Chinese (Mandarin speaking), and curates content from the English version of the Google Developers Channel with Simplified Chinese captions.”
    Due to the strict surfing laws in China users will have to use a VPN, unless the viewers are using a stable VPN system, China’s censorship system will disrupt and upset the the channel which is currently available on YouTube. This primarily includes videos with Chinese subtitles and an original content in Mandarin.
    VPN system introduced by Chinese government sometime ago:
    “The Chinese government has attempted to curtail the use of VPNs that its citizens use to escape the Great Firewall for a couple years. [The] latest attack appears to use deep packet inspection to inspect and block VPN protocols in combination with blocking specific VPN server endpoints,” Golden Frog president Sunday Yokubaitis said in a statement.
    Google has been blocked many times in China and so are its subsidiaries (YouTube, Play store, Gmail etc) and one growing concern is that the play store is still blocked in China, this has led other third party app stores to rise in power. Google is surely missing out on the earnings it could have achieved in China and o they are in talks with the government to allow the return of the play store in the country. Although there is no official word from Google, we may still see a return of the store in China soon.

    Toshiba Outs More Details On New Project Ara Modules

    Toshiba's Japanese website now lists many new details about its Project Ara modules.
    Last month, we covered details about Toshiba's Project Ara cameras modules, and since then Toshiba has increased the resolution for two of them. The lowest-end camera now offers 2.1 MP, up from the previously-reported 2 MP; although this seems like a minor change, it does make the camera capable of full HD recording at 60fps.
    The mid-range camera gets a bigger improvement, leaping from 5 MP to 8 MP, and it's capable of recording at 30 fps at its max resolution. This new camera also boasts a more energy efficient design that the company claims will reduce power consumption by around 15 percent compared to other 8 MP cameras.
    In addition to the camera modules, Toshiba is working on a media bar module, which utilizes the 8 MP camera mentioned above and includes an audio codec and a speaker.
    There's also a display module in the works that will work with LCD and OLED displays and contains an audio codec with microphone and headphone connections.
    Probably the most interesting modules being developed relates to connectivity. Utilizing both RF and IF, Toshiba has a module already in production that could potentially control your entire house, including TV, air conditioning and security.
    Toshiba is currently producing Wi-Fi modules, too. Although details on which 802.11 standards will be supported are still unknown, the top-tier module will have NFC technology built in.
    Toshiba has big plans for NFC. A video produced by the company demonstrated the use of NFC using a prototype module and two tablets.
    Companies have the ability to produce cheap NFC cards that can be placed inside of posters and other items. By simply pressing the NFC reader against the card inside the poster, users could load webpages. Using two devices together, users could easily send a website from one device to the other.
    Using a smartphone and TV with NFC technology, for example, you could begin watching a video on your phone and then continue playback on the TV. All you would have to do is touch the two devices together.
    Toshiba indicated that many of these modules are currently in production, which means we could see them in upcoming Project Ara devices in the near future.

    Zuckerberg says he'd like to work with Google on Internet.org project

    Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has big goals for his company's Internet.org campaign, designed to bring affordable, reliable Internet access to people across the world. Ideally, the organization will be able to shorten the technological gap of citizens, especially in developing nations where there are plenty of mobile users - but unreliable Internet access.


    Zuckerberg launched Internet.org in 2013 and Facebook has largely worked behind-the-scenes with Samsung, Qualcomm, Ericsson and other corporate partners. A free mobile app has been released in a number of nations, giving users access to Facebook, Google Search, AccuWeather - creating opportunities for first-time users to benefit from connected services.

    "Yeah, our team is in contact with them frequently, and I talk to a number of folks over there," said Zuckerberg, in an interview on Studio 1.0 on Bloomberg Television. "When we launched in Zambia, Google was actually one of the services that was in the Internet.org suite, and that's valuable. In addition to health services and education, jobs and different government services and communication tools, people need to be able to search and find information. And whether we work with Google or others on that in all of these other countries, I think that is an important thing. I'd love to work with Google. They are a great search product."

    OLPC set to release a modular, hybrid laptop that borrows from Project Ara's playbook

    Remember One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), the organization that builds educational devices for kids in the developing nations? They’re set to announce a new XO-branded system soon that looks to borrow a page from Project Ara’s playbook.
    Ink, Bits & Pixels was recently poking around on One Education’s (OLPC’s partner non-profit in Australia) website and found something quite interesting. The first of a few images shows what appears to be the rear of a hybrid device with multiple modular components a la Google’s upcoming smartphone platform.
    The color-coded components appear to be a CPU module, a battery module, a camera module and a connectivity module. Another photo shows the same modules from a different angle as well as another that could be an interchangeable display.
    The publication reached out to One Education and received a reply back from Paul Cotton who said they’ve been working hard on the XO-infinity for the last year and things are finally getting to the point where they can show people. Acknowledging the photos, Cotton said they gives users a pretty good idea of what to expect and why they are so excited.

    He concluded by noting an official announcement is coming in the next week or two and jokingly admitted that they need to cover their tracks better.
    As the publication correctly notes, the OLPC initiative has struggled quite a bit since it was conceived in 2005. Between setbacks like expensive hardware, short battery life and cancelled products, what OLPC really could use is a partner like Google or Intel.

    Russian Competition Advocates Open Antitrust Case Against Google


    Google is one of the most popular search engines in the world, and although there is a plethora of search engine alternatives, some countries believe that Google has a monopoly on the search engine market, specifically on mobile devices.

    A competition watchdog in Russia opened a case today against Google after Russian search engine company Yandex filed an antitrust complaint earlier this week. Yandex wants regulators to specifically look at the Android operating system, which has an 86 percent majority on Russian smartphones, and determine how Google packages its services on the system. Yandex believes that Google is abusing its market majority, as Google search is the default search engine on Android, and that makes it more difficult for companies like Yandex to promote their product.

    Outside of Google, Yandex is the most popular search engine in Russia with a 60 percent market share, but on Android, Yandex drops down to only 44 percent market share. Despite Yandex's 16 percent drop on mobile devices, Google claims that it isn't pushing competitors out of Android, stating that the user always has "complete control" in terms of which apps are on their devices.

    Yandex's complaint is just the latest of many antitrust complaints made against Google. The biggest complaint resurfaced last year when the European Commission reopened its antitrust investigation into Google's search and advertising businesses. The group also discussed the plan of a separate investigation solely focused on the Android operating system. The commission's investigation started in 2010 when it discovered that Google had 95 percent of the search market for the entire continent.

    It's unknown as to how long the investigation will continue for Yandex and the European Commission, but both groups believe that European-based companies should have a fair chance in the online and mobile game. Android can still dominate on smartphones, but companies like Yandex want Google to give consumers choices when it comes to app services and not just place its apps as the default option.

    Judge throws out two class-action lawsuits against Google

    A California court has decided to dismiss two class-action lawsuits against Google, which accused the company of bad business practises, despite a lack of evidence. Eventually, it was decided that the plaintiffs could not sufficiently support their claims.
    The first class action lawsuit claimed that because Google has other Android device makers bundle its own software suite on their devices, the mobile market has become “financially and creatively stagnated”. The lawsuit then went on to claim that this meant that consumers were paying too much for their Android devices. However, due to lack of evidence, a judge deemed the claims as ‘speculative’ and eventually dismissed the suit.

    A second class-action lawsuit from the same law firm claimed that Google had knowingly shut down customer’s AdSense accounts in an effort to avoid paying them their share of revenue.
    Once again, the second class-action suit was thrown out by the same judge, based on lack of sufficient evidence and a weak argument. The cancelled AdSense accounts in question were shut down for violating Google’s terms of service and therefore, were no longer entitled to revenue share.

    Google to combine divisions to combat tighter regulation

    In order to not fall afoul of European regulators, Google is merging its Northern and Western European divisions, with the one currently covering the rest of Europe, the Middle East and Africa according to some internal sources. This comes after several months of the search giant being investigated for claims of tax evasion and anti-trust practices, as well as rumblings of ever more fragile relationships with ISPs and other tech firms. While Google has yet to announce any such mergers, the rumour comes from Reuters sources said to be ‘close to the company,’ so take that as you will (I’ll have it with a pinch of salt myself). Still, Making the organisation at least seem smaller and less globe spanning could go some way to placate those that claim Google is trying to develop a monstrous, controlling corporation that has its fingers in just about everybody’s pies. As part of the move, Google’s HQ will likely stay in Ireland, where it can continue to exploit local tax loopholes while they still exist and though some restructuring will take place at certain offices, it’s not thought likely that anyone will lose their jobs as part of the move. However there will be some shuffling at the top end, with Matt Brittin, previous head of Google’s North and Western EU division taking over the commanding role of the new unified departments. Current head of Africa and Middle East management, Carlo d’Asro Biondo will have new strategy role. KitGuru Says: Google was once held up as a shining example of how a tech giant should operate in the EU, but lately it’s been singled out as a prime example of how silicon-valley practices don’t work elsewhere in the world. What do you guys think of how it’s doing business as of late? Image source: Robert Scoble

    Google to invest $300 million in SolarCity

    Google is investing $300 million in SolarCity, a residential solar system company in the US, which is backed by Elon Musk. This follows Google’s earlier $280 million investment, which it made back in 2011. Solar energy isn’t cheap, so SolarCity has a lot of upfront costs to look out for.
    In order to combat this, the company plans to install solar panels on residential homes using Google’s funding. Homeowners will then pay a monthly fee to SolarCity, rather than spending upwards of $30,000 or so to have a solar panel system installed.

    SolarCity has created a $750 million fund for its projects, the largest ever for a residential solar system. Google has previously invested $280 million in to the company. The latest $300 million investment is Google’s largest single investment to date.
    In-fact, with this latest move, Google has now invested $1.5 billion in to renewable energy projects in total.

    Google just paid a record $25 million for exclusive rights to the '.app' top-level domain



    Google has just paid a record-breaking $25 million to get exclusive rights to the entire “.app” top-level web domain. The company outbid 11 other bidders, including Amazon, in a heated auction that closed yesterday with the unnamed runner up reportedly offering at least $24.3 million.
    The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has been gradually auctioning off a number of top-level domains since June 2014. Among the most notable ones so far are “.tech”, which Dot Tech LLC bought for $6.7 million, while Amazon snapped up “.spot” for $2.2 million and “.buy” for nearly $5 million. The full list of auctioned domains can be found here.
    Google already owns the ".how," ".soy," and ".minna" domains too. The new “.app” is a natural fit with the Google Play service. The company hasn’t yet announced plans for the new TLD, but its application suggests that it will allow the domain name to be universally used and not limited to its platform.
    “The mission of the proposed gTLD, .app, is to provide a dedicated domain space for application developers. The term “app” is associated with a wide variety of applications, including mobile applications, web- and browser-based applications, cloud-hosted applications and even desktop applications. Charleston Road Registry expects uses of the gTLD will include a wide variety of uses across all of these types of applications, not limited to any specific platform or provider. The proposed gTLD will enhance consumer choice by providing new availability in the second-level domain space in which application developers can deliver new content and offerings. It also creates new layers of organization on the Internet and signals the kind of content available in the domain.”
    Google has also submitted applications for the top-level domains ".dad," ".here," ".eat," “.lol” and ".new," among others that are either meant to protect their trademarks or related to their core business like “.google”, “.docs” or “.youtube”.

    Google hints at possibly splitting up its Hangouts, Photos and G+ services



    Rumors have been making the rounds regarding Google's interest in possibly separating the aspects of Google+ that users want most. While it's clear many users weren’t happy when Google tied Gmail and its social network together with other services like Photos and Hangouts, it was never clear exactly what the company intended to do about it, if anything.
    But in a recent interview with Forbes, the company hinted at what might eventually mean the end of Google+ as a unified service. Sundar Pichai, who is in charge of products like Chrome, Android and Google+, explained that the company will start to focus on Hangouts, Photos and Google+ as three important areas as opposed to just the one. This certainly isn’t definitive evidence that Google is making a move, but it suggests something along those lines is in the works.
    Pinchai also added that his teams are working on the “next generation” of these services in order to scale them more appropriately.
    In previous interviews, Google employees have expressed concern with confusion amongst its users with Google+. So it is clear the company has recognized the issue and is attempting to make things a little clearer for the users that don’t want social tie-ins with their Google Photos and Hangouts accounts.
