Get Through Your Email Faster – Google
This one would have slipped under my radar unless one of the other guys told me about it. In saying that, I can’t believe there hasn’t been more noise made about it as I can see this as being as big of an as the spam filter was when it first came out. Priority Inbox automatically identifies your important email and separates it out from everything else, so you can focus on what really matter. It also learns what is more important to you over time. Hopefully it will develop into something quite functional as it’s a great concept. The promo video has a cool tune as well, check it out.
Chrome Celebrates Second Birthday with Sixth Release – The Register
Google is celebrating Chrome’s second birthday by releasing a new stable version of its rapidly evolving browser, offering a slightly simpler user interface, an automatic form filler, and the ability to synchronize extensions and form data across machines… Both Firefox and IE are slowly losing share to Google’s browser. Chrome now stands at 7.5 per cent of the market, with Firefox at 23 per cent and IE at 60.4 per cent.
Augmented Reality Game on Android – Tech News
The term Augmented Reality has been around for a while now. I guess the easiest way to describe it is when the real world and the virtual world collide. This week one of the guys here sent me a link, to a YouTube video of someone with a piece of paper, containing a few dots and had an Android phone. The result was quite miraculous, a game (virtual) was overlayed onto the ‘real world’. I first thought that it couldn’t have been real, that couldn’t really be done with a phone, could it? But it was real, you too can play it now, it’s called ARDefender (you do need an Android phone though). So what’s next? Will we be running around the streets playing skirmish through our phones? It’s not too far away.
Fact of the week: 23% of all photocopier faults worldwide are caused by people sitting on them and photocopying their bottoms.
Well there you go, edition one of our weekly release. We hope you got something from it and as always we would like to hear your feedback, good or bad. We’re already looking forward to next weeks edition, until then, have a great week from everyone here at Cloud Assist.
