Google’s rumored foldable device could release next year with similar camera hardware to what older Pixel phones used prior to this year’s big Pixel 6 overhaul, 9to5Google reports. Reports about the device first emerged this summer, at which point it was expected to launch before the end of the year. Now the device, whose codename appears to have changed from “Passport” to “Pipit,” seems to be on track for a launch in 2022. These latest details have emerged thanks to code… Source link

Next year’s Pixel 7 might look slightly different, but it’s likely to continue utilizing Google’s TPU chip.

Earlier this week, Australian developer Chris Lacy tweeted about a curious experience while logging into a rarely used Google account. When Google texted his two-factor authentication code, the message popped up along with an ad including a link for VPN services. Considering the downsides of phishing or malware distribution attached to a code that’s specifically intended to keep your account secure, this didn’t go over well. While Lacy did not name the carrier who delivered the text,… Source link

Earlier this month, in what many consider the copyright case of the decade, the Supreme Court released its much-anticipated decision in Google v. Oracle. In it, the Court ruled that Google’s copying of 11,500 lines of declaring code from Java SE for use in Google’s Android platform, was fair use. Having recently reviewed the history of the fair use defense in copyright infringement cases, we now turn to the case itself. Background of Google v. OracleBefore Sun Microsystems (now… Source link

We might not be taking international holidays at the moment, but there’s no harm in dreaming.  If you’re reminiscing about your past overseas adventures, you might remember some of these three letter codes. They are emblazoned on the departure screens, luggage tags and boarding passes, but do you recognise these airport codes? They are set out by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and help millions of travellers fly to the right place. But can you land on the right answers in… Source link

In what could become the first test of how courts apply a recent Supreme Court opinion concerning computer code, the Andy Warhol Foundation is citing Google v. Oracle and asking the 2nd Circuit for another shot in its copyright feud with Lynn… Source link

Just last month, we saw the first baby steps toward the adoption of the memory-managed Rust programming language into the Linux kernel. Google has apparently been thinking along the same lines, and in a lengthy blog post Tuesday, the company announced that the Android Open Source Project now supports Rust for low-level OS components. The Android team does a ton of work pushing Kotlin and Java for app developers, but those languages rely on… Source link

“Data-Driven Thinking” is written by members of the media community and contains fresh ideas on the digital revolution in media. Today’s column is written by Allison Schiff, senior editor at AdExchanger. It’s part of a series of perspectives from AdExchanger’s editorial team. When the big platforms say “jump,” the ad industry warily asks, “how high?” Apple and Google are both old pros at making unilateral changes to their ad policies that throw mobile developers into… Source link

The Android Google TV app could soon be getting a built-in remote control for Android TVs, XDA Developers reports. The unreleased feature was discovered in the code for version 4.25 of the Android app. Enabling the feature reveals an apparently unfinished interface built around a large D-pad, and the option to pair the app with an Android TV device using a 4-digit PIN. The discovery of the new code coincides with a renewed push from Google to update and modernize its smart TV software…. Source link
