The Brand New Google Wallet!
New quick actions buttons will appear on Gmail, with extended interaction without opening a message option. The launch was missed out on some big announcements from Google I / O that night, but the online email client, Gmail, has also benefited from up-to-date on both sides of the Atlantic, according to a blog posted by the team in charge of the mail. All its willingness to deploy the technology more broadly based Google Now, the "intelligent" scheduler on Android; Google has incorporated some features in Gmail. A plane ticket can be confirmed in an email? Google automatically extracts data from the reservation (date, time, flight, airport, etc.) and appears at the top of the message. It helps you in doing quick action without opening the message. The "buttons fast action" also makes their appearance in this up-to-date, that allow interaction without even opening a message. If the user receives an invitation for example, he can answer it without even getting in the mail, thanks to "RSVP" function. It is integrated in a "things to do", which also includes other features like the ability to note a place where you went from his inbox, type etc. menu. These features will be gradually deployed in the coming weeks, said the giant.
This may seem little but it is relatively significant in the context of the announcements made yesterday during the Google I / O conference Now once his assistant deployed in Chrome, it may apply its ambition to "provide information to the right place at the right time", automatically displaying reminders of different services, and adapting them to the situation. Now Google could, for example, offer a route automatically on his Smartphone at a time when the user is supposed to leave to catch his plane. Yes Google Wallet integrated with Gmail. Other features may be added for developers, Google promises. The giant also revealed that they launched in United States a new money transfer system through email. As it is possible to quickly link a document Google Drive or file on your computer, a new icon appears in the message editor to allow sending money. The feature uses the Google Wallet, Google's electronic wallet system, and the user has to decide the amount to be sent and the recipient. This is the time reserved for the United States, but Google Wallet seems anyway having to expand. Payment in-app improved on Android integration default system setting to provide new APIs for developers ... Google seems determined to impose his wallet, and no doubt that the feature does not take long to get in here.

You can chat with your Google Chrome soon!!!
We cannot say that Google relies on its laurels for Google Chrome. While the Internet giant has recently taken the decision to separate heavy WebKit last month by announcing the launch of its own rendering engine, he unveiled a new how to use the browser on Mac and PC. Like the mobile versions, it will be possible to search by voice from his computer. Google wants to provide a non-interface approach. Suffice it to say "Ok Google" then the question and Chrome by exploiting the different services Google will try to answer your question. Just like Siri, the user can ask a question without having to adapt their language to the machine. We will instruct Chrome as "send an email to Florist" or "Show me my photos of Elixir of Knowledge taken last year." This system can help you of course for your local search (finding a restaurant, how to go to a certain place etc. On its system, Google makes no mystery. The more you give them any information about yourself and you can utilize more of their services, the more Google will be able to give you relevant results. Voice Search will be available in Google Chrome. This feature should allow Google to clearly differentiate its browser competition. The least we can say is that Chrome has the wind in its sails. In Europe and in France, he now closely heels Internet Explorer. Google Chrome now has over 750 million active users. Just last month, the web browser Internet giant has attracted more than 300 million new users. The head of Google, Sundar Pichai, did not give the distribution between users of the desktop version and that of the mobile version. However, he indicated that this segment was surging. Just like its big brother, Chrome Mobile for Android is constantly improving. The new version presented is 50% faster. On this occasion finally, Google has demonstrated Racer, a fairly simple game that has been played for Chrome Mobile (it works with the iOS version), but has the distinction of being multiplayer up to five users.

The new Google Maps!
Google must have some news on the occasion of the conference Google I / O, which begins today. Of these, we expect a new version of Google Maps, its famous mapping service that is still widely reference. Due to a technical error, this new version has been posted online by mistake a few minutes, enough anyway to the website Droid Life made a few catches ... The aim of this update is to provide users the most interesting information at the time when they need it most. Thus, a search for museums in San Francisco highlights the museums of the capital with a stripped card which appears only on the streets, some important buildings, Metro stops and especially museums represented in red map. We can also note that the map fills the screen; the search of Google Maps is placed above in the upper left corner. Other information collected can be integrated with the Google Earth without a module, but only for browsers with WebGL can be enabled. With the latest versions of Safari, it is not active by default, but you can activate it by displaying the "Development" in the preferences menu, then there checking a box. For Google Chrome, it is logically simple: if your machine is compatible then it will be active. Always with a view to provide better information, improved Google Maps route finding with support aircraft, but also multimodal routes. Between two points, and the service may display the time in the car, but also by train, by public transport or bus as applicable. Need to change the setting; everything will be automatically displayed on the map. This new version should be offered as a closed beta first, it will ask for an invitation to enter. Ultimately, the current site will be replaced by the new version, but we do not know what the search giant intends to mobile side. Answer certainly during the Google I / O.

BitTorrent says “1 PB of data exchanged”!
Two weeks after being made available for its Sync client, BitTorrent has decided to take on the amount of data exchanged via its service. The figure is quite impressive: 1 Petabyte in just 14 days. But a question remains unanswered: how these figures are collected when no centralized server is at their part? The company says on this point. In late January, BitTorrent unveiled Sync, a synchronization client who wants an alternative to Dropbox. The latter uses the BitTorrent protocol, but does not offer centralized server. Two weeks after its opening at all, the company reported on the use of its application, and the results appear to exceed their expectations. Indeed, 1 Po (or 1,000 TB) of data was exchanged during this time, more than 70 TB per day.
Some wondered how the company can get this kind of information and what exactly where the details collected. To answer these questions, it has updated the ticket and gives some explanation: "We have some general statistics on the application; we do not have access to private information." It then adds the Sync client periodically checks for new updates are available and then he took the opportunity to send "anonymous statistics" with, for example, how the data is transferred, the file size and the number files synchronized. As pointed out by a user on the forum of BitTorrent, the Sync client performs indeed queries on Usyncapp.com server via a very special URL, in which there are some details: BitTorrent states that this information has been deliberately left visible to the user: "This is the only information we collect and how we use, and we have deliberately left open. In this way, you can easily check that we do not have access to private information, just general statistics on the application. “ Anyway, some would certainly have liked to disable this option, which does not appear in the current state of things possible, perhaps in a future update?
Samsung promises of free storage on the Galaxy S4
The range of preinstalled software on the Galaxy S4 occupies nearly half of the 16 GB of storage. Samsung has promised to find a solution to reduce this footprint. Hailed for its performance, the quality of its 5-inch display and the battery life of 2600 mAh, Galaxy S4 was hand pinned to the interest and even the usefulness of the set of preinstalled software that offers. But its pre loaded software which occupy a large part of the memory storage device. In England, an analysis by BBC Watchdog has indeed revealed that S4 16GB had only 9 GB free. At first, the Korean company had minimized this problem by referring to the possibility of using an external memory card. Probably concerned with pictures, but they finally changed their mind. In a statement to The Inquirer, a spokesman for Samsung said that a solution would be found to free up storage space. A future update will show what changes are made in the range of S4 software.
