Most app categories have specific purposes in mind. For example, did you know there is a category dedicated to comics? There is also a section for casino games, and there are nearly 5,000 apps in the parenting category. For the most part, those categories seem harmless. But read on to find out why Google is taking steps to remove all the apps from one category altogether. Here’s the backstory There are plenty of apps in the Google Play Store that are questionable....

With just over a week left for Google to officially unveil its the Pixel and Pixel XL, Evan Blass (a.k.a @evleaks) has posted a press render of the smaller of the two handsets that Google plans on launching next week. The press render gives us our clearest look at the Pixel, which has so far only leaked in some blurry cam photos and renders.

Google will soon make a user’s smartphone the only key they need to log in to their Google accounts on any device, thanks to a new login method that the internet giant is testing with a small group of users. Two-factor authentication is a rather secure way of logging in, but it’s not as convenient or quick as one would like. Google is hoping to make things faster by enabling users to use their smartphone to authenticate a login – once a user authenticates a device, he/she can simply respond to a notification on their phone to log in to their account....

To end these spam calls, the tech giant Google will provide its calling application with a filter that will alert users to potential calls of this type.

What most of us leave unnoticed is that the initial release price of a product, be it a shiny phone, a wide 3D TV or the most hyped-tablet, is fairly comparable with the production cost. If we were to include the costs of marketing campaigns and lawsuit schemes that seem to be the trend in the last few months, some vendors barely break it even. So how do large companies like Samsung, Apple, HTC and other manage to maintain their status and good wealth?...

The A1 Plus is all about being muscular and doesn’t even remotely make an attempt to be skinny or slim. Weighing a good 226 grams and 9.1 mm thick, the phone has a very premium look and feel to it, thanks to its metal unibody design. The big fella is hefty, but the rounded edges and frame plus the slightly curved back is an attempt to help one handle the phone better – the back of the phone is a tad slippery, and the heftiness would want to shake hands with gravity all the time....

The consolidation of a model of sales such as crime-as-a-service, attack-as-a-service, and malware-as-a-service is attracting criminal organizations and wannabe hackers. According to the experts, the monetization of stolen data and cyber criminals’ activities seems to have become less difficult because of the improvements in cybercrime ecosystem (i.e., black markets) and the adoption of anonymizing methods of payment, such as digital currencies. Digital currency makes ransomware payments easier challenging to track....

“Wouldn’t life be better if more things had a TL;DR?” Google CEO Sundar Pichai said during the keynote address at the Google I/O conference, referencing the abbreviation for a “too long; didn’t read” summary. The new feature would be useful, for example, for someone who has a 25-page document to read ahead of a meeting that’s just five minutes away, Pichai said. Using machine learning, the feature will automatically parse and pull out the main points from a document....

Well, SHA-1 encryption is used for HTTPS certificates which are right now used for protecting your browsing history and in Git repositories.

Now, the most horrific thing is Google has just managed to turn all these facts wrong by creating a hash collision....
