Design wise, the whole experience has been kept identical but now when you tap the “video call” icon while chatting with someone, a floating window will pop up which will commence your live stream instantaneously. The audio is off by default and the person on the other side of the chat doesn’t necessarily need to pick up the call for viewing the caller stream. This is, more or less, exactly why Google Duo gain traction but with Facebook bringing the feature directly onto its Messenger app, users might bid farewell the former....

Google Duo’s main appeal lies in the spontaneous factor it brings to the video-calling paradigm – Unlike others, when a person calls you via Duo, the caller’s live stream will be commenced regardless of whether the receiver picks it up. “Knock Knock” as Google likes to call it, aims to make calls “feel more like an invitation rather than an interruption”. Additionally, the calls will be end-to-end encrypted and it is based on WebRTC’s open project relying on a new protocol titled “Quic” which is capable of performing a “seamless handoff” of calls between Wi-fi and cellular connections....

Today is the moment when the efforts behind this project are becoming reality, as they’re launching their very first fiber optic network in Kansas City. With this launch, Google wants to deliver bi-directional connectivity speeds as much as 1 Gigabit per second!

Guest post by Christina Jenkins. The mistakes that the people inside organizations make when it comes to virtualization are known. When those mistakes are made, the benefits – all the efficiency and cost cutting that it allows – begin to disappear.More important than the increased ibuprofen expense and unnecessary late nights on the job for the IT department, is the potential for increased security issues, as well as time delays....

One other device that was presented at MWC 2013 by ASUS was the Fonepad, which, I’m sad to say, it didn’t impress too much. I find it ridiculous to talk with such a big device, unless you use wireless headphones. From the get-go, the ASUS Fonepad looked like a Nexus 7 or like the Asus MeMo Pad but with a face lift. We (technology journalists) might perceive the differences between these 7-inchers but there’s a high risk that consumers will judge only by the final selling price....

It probably won’t make you feel any better, but there are countries in the world that can’t even use social media – Iran, China and North Korea are just a few of them. Moving back to our initial problem, many people have asked us how to gain access to such blocked websites....

Next, you’ll need to select which lists you’d like to import and the process will begin....

While the image output from the stock camera app is decent, it tends to botch up the details and more often than not overdoes the contrast.

So, we are going to tell you how you too can improve the camera performance on your OnePlus Nord by using Google Camera or GCam mod....
