Android 8.0 Oreo Released By Google
The latest Android version – Android 8.0
– has just been officially announced by Google.
Previously known as ''Android O'', the operating system has now been granted
the name Android Oreo – as suspected by most people.
Google has a long tradition dating back to Android 1.5 (Also known as ''cupcake'')
of naming its operating systems after famous treats.
Interestingly enough, Google decided to announce its latest Android OS at the same time of
the arrival of last week's solar eclipse.
This spectacular event has also been adapted within Google's announcement video of the
Android Oreo operating system.
Besides announcing the name, Google stated that Android Oreo is now available to the
general public via Google's Android Open Source Project.
A fully functioning version of this latest Android operating system is expected to first
arrive at the upcoming Nexus and Pixel smartphones.
Keeping in mind that, at the moment, only 14% of all Android phones run on the previous
OS – Android Nougat – it might take a while before your device supports Android
8.0.
Google has summarized its new features in three words: faster, safer, and better.
Thanks to the major adjustments that Google has made, Android O can function up to 2 times
faster as its predecessor.
It furthermore treats you to smart app-control and limits the activities of Apps that are
running in the background.
Thanks to this, your Android phone will function better and faster while simultaneously using
less battery.
Additionally, Android Oreo brings along Google Play Protect that will significantly increase
your phone's security and protects it against malware.
This security system is constantly active and scans on a daily basis more than 50 billion
Apps that are listed in the Play Store but also on your own smartphone.
Thanks to this, you can be guaranteed that all the Apps on your phone work without any
trouble.
Not only does this feature focus on the performance of your phone, it also aims to protect your
privacy in a more secure manner.
Another useful new Android 8 feature worth mentioning is Picture-in-Picture.
This allows you to efficiently do two things at the same time – significantly increasing
the multitasking capabilities of your Android phone.
From now on, you'll be able to engage in a video call while checking your agenda, or
browse the web while watching a movie.

The Voice Assistant Battle! (Alexa Vs. Google Home) - Duration: 9:34.
Hello and welcome to the show!
My name is Alex and this is TechFlow.
Today, we've got a very highly requested video to do that you guys told us to do over on
Twitter, TechFlow Tweets.
And that was the, well; Alexa, how are you doing?
ALEXA: I'm fine, thanks.
ALEX: Versus the: OK Google, Home.
How are you doing?
GOOGLE HOME: Great, thanks.
I love having a chin wag with you.
What can I do for you?
ALEX: Let's do this.
ALEX: So, first off, let's start out with the price.
Seeing as these are two items that you're going to be buying and spending your hard
earned cash on.
So, the Amazon Alexa comes in on the market place at the moment at $180.
Whereas over here on the Google Home, we're coming in at $130.
So, if cash is your issue, I'd be going for the Google Home.
But if you've got the buck to spend on both of these and you're wondering which one to
go for, let's dive in.
So, let's jump in to the first base, the aesthetics.
How these things look.
You're going to be placing these things in your home, in your bedroom, in your kitchen,
in your lounge - they need to look the part.
Now, my personal pick here goes with the Google Home.
We need a Google Home versus Alexa counter.
Err, we'll put that up here.
And I'm going to give the Google Home a second point here, just because I like the
way it looks more.
It's a lot smaller, it has a smaller footprint, I love the fact that it has a nice speaker
grille around here instead of the Amazon Alexa which just has a load of holes drilled in
to a plastic body.
It's a bit smaller and, as you can see, here I've actually got a Slick Wrap on here but Google
do actually offer customisation options for the Home.
Nothing that you can find about that is on the Echo.
It's just white or black.
Next, you're going to be interacting with these devices.
Obviously by speaking to them, waking them up, by using their names - either: OK Google,
how are you doing?
GOOGLE HOME: Great, thanks.
What can I do for you?
ALEX: Nothing.
GOOGLE HOME: Oh, OK.
Or, on Team Alexa; How are you doing?
ALEXA: I'm great.
I hope you are too.
ALEX: So, you're going to be speaking to them, but first, they do have some physical buttons
on them.
Now, a third point to Google here.
3-0 - Alexa, come on.
ALEXA: Sorry, I'm always trying to improve.
ALEX: Aah!
Simply because the Google Home has a capacitive touch button at the top, you simply run your
finger around it to change the volume.
With this, it's a hardware, plastic switch.
Now, you can go ahead and mute both of the microphones.
Both of them indicate that the microphone is muted.
On the Echo, it's...
You get a red light to indicate and then on the Google, it's...
GOOGLE HOME: The microphone is muted.
ALEX: It lets you know verbally.
ALEX: OK, first off, both of these things are speakers.
So, what are they if the sound quality isn't very good?
Let's do a quick test and you guys can decide.
But I'm going to give you my verdict because I'm actually in the room.
I do have a nice microphone recording this though so go get your headphones, come back
and listen to them yourself.
Alexa, play some music.
ALEXA: Music on Spotify.
<MUSIC PLAYS>
ALEX: Alexa, stop!
OK Google, play me some Spotify.
<MUSIC PLAYS>
ALEX: OK Google, stop.
I'm giving one point to Alexa here, 3-1.
It sounds a little bit louder - three to four decibels to be exact - and the treble is a
little crisper.
So, for voices, it's going to sound amazing.
Both of these speakers, by the way, can be used as just a Bluetooth speaker.
Connect it to your phone and you can play your music.
But Alexa wins the sound quality.
You'd think that though because of the size.
For the sake of the next segment of the video, I'm going to go ahead and mute both of these
devices.
So, they're both pretty simple devices.
We've talked about how they look and how they sound but let's jump in to the actual interaction
with this device, using your voice, which is the primary function why you buy one of
these devices in the first place.
Let's start out with the basics.
So, to wake Amazon Echo, you say: Alexa.
In the settings, this can be changed to: "Computer," "Amazon," or "Echo."
With the Google Home, you can say: "Hey Google" or "OK Google."
You don't have to change that setting.
Now, both of these devices have to be woken up by you saying the wake word.
So, what I'm going to do is, to test out these microphones, I'm going to walk at numerous
intervals down the hallway and whichever one stops listening first loses.
Alexa, can you hear me?
ALEXA; Yes, I'm here.
ALEX: OK Google, can you hear me?
GOOGLE HOME: Yes, receiving, over.
ALEX: I'm going to stand half-way down the hallway.
So, I'm currently stood about ten metres away from both of the smart devices around the corner.
Alexa, can you hear me?
ALEXA: Yes, I can hear you.
ALEX: OK Google, can you hear me?
GOOGLE HOME: Yes, receiving, over.
ALEX: I'm going to go twenty metres away now.
Alexa, can you hear me?
ALEXA: Yes, I'm here.
I listen once I hear the wake word.
ALEX: OK Google, can you hear me?
GOOGLE HOME: Yes, receiving, over.
ALEX: Moving back to thirty metres.
Alexa, can you hear me?
ALEXA: Yes, I can hear you.
ALEX: Google, can you hear me?
Ohhhhhh, the winner.
Instantly, with that, we know that the Alexa can pick up your voice better.
It's catching up; 3-2.
Next, the response times.
When you're talking to one of your assistants, you need to know that it's going to be there
for you and there for you fast.
Alexa, set a timer for two minutes.
ALEXA: Two minutes, starting now.
ALEX: Quite fast.
OK Google, set a timer for two minutes.
GOOGLE HOME: OK, two minutes, starting now.
ALEX: Ooooh.
Alexa, stop the timer.
ALEXA: Two minute timer cancelled.
ALEX: OK Google, stop the timer.
GOOGLE HOME: Alright.
Consider it cancelled.
ALEX: It's very, very close.
Alexa, what's the time in Japan?
ALEXA: The time in Japan is 7:02 AM on Tuesday.
ALEX: 3.63 seconds.
OK Google, what's the time in Japan?
GOOGLE HOME: The time in Tokyo, Japan, is 7:03 AM on Tuesday.
ALEX: Google Home gets the edge.
4-2.
It's just a slight bit faster.
But we're talking milliseconds.
So, in essence, these are smart home devices.
They are smart in themselves but they get even smarter when linked to other smart home
devices i.e. a lighting system.
Asking Alexa to turn on the lights.
Or, OK Google, play some music on the kitchen speakers.
So, this is a very subjective thing.
It depends what you have in your house and what smart devices you already own.
But if, let's say in your house, in every single TV, you've got a Chrome Cast plugged
in, this is an obvious choice for you.
You're going to go for this, because with the Google Home, you can say: Play, insert
YouTube video title, on, insert Chrome Cast name, and it will just play that video on
that TV.
You can't do that with Alexa.
Or even if you had a Chrome Cast audio, you could tell your Google Home with your voice
to play a certain song from a certain streaming service to that speaker which is the name
of the Chrome Cast audio.
Do you get where I'm coming from here?
Unfortunately though, Google, you're losing out here.
Because you can install recipes on Alexa over here and she is going to be able to do a whole
lot more than you, Mister Google Home.
I'm just going to bring this up for you guys - I just brought it up online.
Both of these devices can interact with Wemo from Belkin, Logitech Harmony, Nest, Phillips,
Samsung, TP Link and Wink.
Obviously, the Alexa doesn't have Chrome Cast.
But then a report has surfaced that Alexa can actually interact with over 200 more smart
devices than the Google Home.
Just in case you have a weak WiFi network at home, I've found that the Google Home doesn't
work in places where the Amazon Alexa still worked but had a weak signal.
Just pointing that out there.
My personal favourite is the Echo.
What's yours?
Put it down there in the comments section down below.
Drop a like rating on the video and go to the Qutee and tell us why and what is your
favourite one to win one of these.
The winner is going to be picked in four weeks from now.
So make sure you do those three things - drop a like on the video, tell us what's your favourite
one and why in the comments section and on the Qutee link in the description and you're
entered.
It's as simple as that.
Oh, and, if you're feeling nice, and you're not subscribed, make sure you subscribe.
And if you are subscribed, turn on notifications.
There we go guys.
That is our Amazon Alexa versus Google Home review.
Or comparison or whatever you want to call it.
Hope you found some entertainment out of it.
If you did, a like rating would be awesome.
But for now...
ALEXA: Sorry, I don't know that one.
ALEX: My name's been Alex...
ALEXA: Sorry, I'm not sure how to help with that yet.
ALEX: ...This has been TechFlow and we'll catch you in the next one.
<ALEX LAUGHS>

Google Vs The Library Freshmen Seminars (Fall 2017) - Duration: 11:04.
hi this is Sarah marks one of the librarians here at UMass Lowell first
let me welcome you to your time here at UMass Lowell the library is here to
support you as you do research for papers and assignments in your classes I
know you probably didn't have a lot of experience using your high school
library but at UMass Lowell our resources are the key to your success
and we use your tuition money to get access to things you might not ever have
access again so we want you to understand how research happens where
you can find things and the services we have to provide you the assistance you
need let's start by talking about Google and compare it to what can happen at the
library the big key that you have to understand is that Google searches the
web versus our library which searches databases that database might be our
collection of books might be a collection of Health articles but they
look very similar to the way Google works if you can search google you'll
easily be able to adapt those skills to a database the key is the databases give
you far more control than Google ever will and they search very different
collections and that's what you always have to keep in mind what collection do
you need do you need sociology collection history collection biomedical
research collection everything's going to take you to a different location
hopefully we can make this a little less intimidating by talking about where
Google differs so let's start with a very simple search diabetes it's
something that some of you might experience or knows someone who's
experiencing and here's how Google does diabetes it brings back web pages when
it brings back information it's bringing back what we call reference sources
dictionaries information pages encyclopedias websites for organizations
that might treat or support people with diabetes so here we have the American
Diabetes Association MEDLINE plus which is a medical resource from the
government WebMD another government National
Institute of Health what and Wikipedia let's take a moment to
talk about Wikipedia I'm the librarian who loves Wikipedia if you meet me
you'll probably be meeting me at something related to Wikipedia you can
see I even have an account with information about page curations and
contributions I'm an editor so when I talk about Wikipedia I'm not just
telling you not to use it I'm telling you why and the key is right here
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia this is no longer an appropriate resource for your
papers it's a starting point a way to get your head around an idea you might
not understand yet and then to find other resources from so we don't want to
see Wikipedia on your bibliography we don't want you copying and pasting
Wikipedia into your paper we want you to use it appropriately
here are some key things to pay attention to this happens to be a very
well-developed entry but not everyone could be the entry is this well
developed some have gaps in information others can have misinformation and yep
anybody can edit it even me unless you see this little lock here then you can
only edit it if you have permission so see I can edit it but if I log out and
go back there's no option to edit now the best part of a Wikipedia entry is at
the very bottom especially when it comes to you all of these are resources you
can use if you see a DOI number this means it is a research article that you
can use in your papers that's what your professors are going to be asking you
for we call them research peer-reviewed scholarly academic juried it just
depends on your field but they are the creme de la creme of articles they are
what you want to find and if you click on the DOI or in this case also a pmid
for the medical research it might take you directly to that article you can
look at it get information and see about getting the full text if it's available
to you and if you're on campus you will have access to everything we have paid
to get access - when you're off campus you want to go
through the library webpage but let's get back to Google Google's job is to
think for you it wants to make your life easier so even though we're getting two
hundred and ninety two billion results in almost just a second
these aren't research articles necessarily and for you to identify
those that are the research articles versus the new articles versus
unrealistically done webpages and then on top of it fake news well it gets to
be a lot of work and that's where the library can help you if you go to the
UML library which is UML dot edu slash library you have search options and
again think about the collection you're searching not just that you're searching
the catalogue search is our webpage but the article quick search searches all of
our resources so remember we got two hundred and ninety two billion results
in google chances are you didn't get past that first page and here we are in
our database we have five million nine hundred and eight thousand one hundred
and fifty four but this is where you get to take control this is where you get to
decide what you need access to do you only need things from say the last ten
years then you can get just those articles and books do you need them to
be those peer review or academic journals you can click to cut out
anything that doesn't have peer review which is when the fellow experts review
an article and decide what needs to be edited before it's published and this is
not just copy editing and spelling and grammar this is intense look at your
research nope you did that wrong that doesn't make sense
that's an assumption that's a bias that kind of stuff is looked at here we can
also look at language we can limit those things that are in the language we can
actually work with like in doesn't always shave off much but you
don't have to read another language you can focus on my favorite which are these
subjects what these articles are about no matter where you search Google Yahoo
if you're still in a Steve's for some reason or our databases when you type
words into a box it's typically just looking for those words to come back
somewhere and then it's ranking based on how often that word comes back that's
relevancy but when you look at the subjects what the articles are about you
can focus in on not just a mere mention of a word but it being the important
word and now we're down to eighty-three thousand and that's a huge jump down but
here's what happens next we get more subjects more based on that collection
and we can focus in on let's say the non insulin-dependent diabetes and it keeps
going we'll get another round of subjects
maybe metabolic regulation which has to do with how we train how our body
metabolizes food and how fast it does and again now we're down to seven
hundred and thirteen and I can keep clicking on these subjects and get down
to in this case let's talk about body weight it can get me down to 45 and in
this research process sometimes the smaller number is the better number
because you're not going to read through five million results you're not going to
read through eighty three thousand results you never get off the first page
of Google I never get off the first page of Google so going and getting a list of
results that are on the first page of something is a realistic list and here
we go we have 26 to look at what the library will tell you that Google won't
tell you is give you the full text of these articles it'll give you all the
information and if you hover over these little boxes here you can see all that
information the summary so that you can decide if this webpage is worth your
time the full-text link when it's available there are other videos that
explain full a full text and full text finder and you'll be a
look at them on this guide but know that they're there but here's one thing every
freshman that I've ever met seems to freak out about
and it's citation Styles remember what I said the best part of the Wikipedia
article was were those citations that lists of their sources everybody does
this don't freak out we all have to do it and you're going to learn how to do
it in the next four years even if you never cite another article after you
graduate you'll know how to do it and your professors will be happy that you
can do it the databases make it a little easier instead of you remembering where
our Peary goes and does this get italicized click on the article title
and on the right side click cite this will give you an easy citation based on
the style you're expected to use how do you know what style you're expected to
use check your syllabus ask your professor if it's not listed on the
syllabus some will have very specific styles APA MLA Chicago others will have
the rule that you have to use the same one over and over they don't care which
one but they want you to use the same one so APA typically used by the social
sciences including education and Health Chicago frequently used by history and
then MLA is probably one you would have used in high school and that's used by
the humanities so so you might need to change which style you're used to using
but learn which one these often require that you proofread them and you correct
them but you want to check with your professor if you're unsure or ask one of
the librarians or ask at the Writing Center all of us are happy to help you
do the very basic review but you have to put the citation in yourself and that's
some of the ways that the library can help you over Google it's all about
appropriateness and the type of content you're finding but if you focus on what
the library offers and utilizing this you're gonna avoid successful in the
four years you're here at UMass Lowell good luck
