A feature request in the Google Update Tracker for a dark mode in Android was marked as “fixed.” This means a dark/night mode “will be available in a future Android release.” A baked-in dark mode is one of the most requested features of all time in Android’s ten-year history.                    Dark mode is one of the most popular features Android doesn’t have . There are apps that do it , there are custom ROMs that bake it into Android’s code, and even OEM skinned versions of Android make it a standard feature ( and then take it away ). But the one place you won’t find a dark/night mode is in stock Android itself. That will change in a future version of the operating system, confirmed by the Google Issue Tracker . A developer marked the feature request for a dark mode as “fixed” and “will be available in a future Android release.” Does that mean that Android 9.0 P , the next...

Google touts 21 Android phones it recommends for business use For the first time ever, Google has published a set of standards it says smartphones must meet to be business friendly, highlighting those that get regular security patches and at least one major OS update. For the first time ever, Google has established a baseline for what constitutes an Android smartphone that's ready for use by enterprises. "Some of the top concerns we've heard from customers include the need for frequent security updates, reliable and consistent software experiences and simplified device selection," David Still, Google's director of Android Enterprise, said in  a blog post . To address those needs, Google this week launched the  Android Enterprise Recommended program , a global initiative that raises the bar for what passes as an enterprise-level device and service. While all mobile devices have inherent security risks,  Android has more vulnerabilities  because of its inher...

Today's Google Assistant is much, much more capable than the version that first debuted on the original Pixel and Pixel XL. Don't expect that progress to slow anytime soon, either: Google laid out s ome new plans  to improve the Assistant just in time for Mobile World Congress, and they extend far beyond just teaching it more languages. Most importantly, Google confirmed it has been working with smartphone makers on ways to weave Assistant more elegantly into our smartphones. That work is being formalized in the new Assistant Mobile OEM program, and Google's list of accomplishments with its partners is nothing to sneeze at: it helped make Assistant compatible with certain kinds of mobile AI coprocessor and worked to make sure devices can listen for the right wake-words even when their screens are off. It won't be long before you start to see device-specific Google Assistant commands, either -- LG touted a list of 23 new commands  for its updated V30 , and Google also c...

The wireless coverage mapping experts over at UK-based OpenSignal recently released The State of LTE report for February 2018 where it highlighted availability and speeds of 4G LTE networks across several international markets including India. Following the November 2017 report released back in December last year, India's position in the 4G availability has since fallen and the country now ranks below Sweden and Taiwan. On the other hand, 4G speeds still remain dismal as India was once again ranked last in the list. As we mentioned, the February 2018 report by OpenSignal highlights a number of key 4G LTE statistics for India as well as other global markets. In terms of availability of 4G signals, India was assigned the fourteenth position (down from eleventh in November 2017) with an increased 86.26 percent coverage of 4G. The growth is attributable mostly to the telecom boom after Reliance Jio jumped into the scene a couple of years back. El Salvador and Algeri...

Intel Ice Lake iGPU Leaked Over the past couple of years, CPU performance has largely stagnated. Instead, the new area of focus is the iGPU. Graphics are increasingly important to users as graphical demands increase. Nowhere is the need for improved graphics more poignant than for mobile laptops. To meet this new demand, Intel is reportedly working on improved iGPUs for Ice Lake CPUs. The new iGPUs will feature up to 48 EUs for the U-series of chips. The information from a SiSoft Sandra online database entry for a new prototype Ice Lake chip. The new iGPU is a UHD graphics with Gen 11 graphics.

System Shock reboot put on hiatus as developers 'reassess our path'   Nightdive Studios' 2016 Kickstarter campaign to support a "complete remake" of the great 1994 Looking Glass game System Shock was a big success, earning $1.36 million on a $900,000 goal—a tiny slice of which, by the way, came from me. Since then, things seemed to be coming along nicely: We took a look at how it was diverging from the original in October 2017, and just last month the studio released a video showing off the game's updated art style.  But today, Nightdive CEO Stephen Kick announced that the project has been put on hiatus. The Kickstarter update revealing the surprise news doesn't dig into the specifics of why, but it sounds like the project might simply have spiraled out of control.  "Maybe we were too successful. Maybe we lost our focus. The vision began to change," Kick wrote. "We moved from a Remaster to a completely new game. We s...

Jobs wanted Apple’s employees to smoothly move through the headquarters without having to take a minute away from thinking about their work.

Housing around 13,000 employees, Apple Park , as the headquarters is known, is a futuristic feat of engineering that contains the world’s largest piece of curved glass.
