The lawsuits allege Google misled its users between at least 2014 and 2019. They… Source link

Try to find Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook’s home on the street view modes of Google Maps or Apple Maps, and you’ll hit a pixelated brick wall. It’s no accident, either. Cook’s house went incognito after he won a restraining order against an alleged stalker in January. But Cook isn’t the only person who can make his home disappear from two of the most used mapping apps out there. Regular users can do the same thing, especially if you happen to find their street view features a bit too… Source link

Google has launched today a new security feature for Google Cloud tenants that is meant to detect and block cryptomining operations that may be taking place behind the owners’ backs.

Huge news from Google HQ: the company is changing the Chrome web browser logo for the first time in eight years. And it’s stunningly—well, not all that different. To be fair, the new logo is clearly different to the previous one, when viewed side-by-side anyways. It’s brighter, cleaner, and Google has taken the design equivalent of a 10,000 LED light to the front of the logo to eradicate any hint of shadow. That may not be the exact logo you end up seeing on your device, however. Google is… Source link

STOCKHOLM, Feb 7 (Reuters) – Price comparisons company PriceRunner said on Monday it has sued Alphabet-owned (GOOGL.O) Google for about 2.1 billion euros ($2.40 billion) at a court Stockholm, saying the company breached antitrust laws by manipulating search results in favour of its own comparison shopping services.

One year after Google shuttered the internal game development studio for its struggling cloud gaming service Google Stadia, a report from Business Insider gives a clear idea of what’s next for the tech giant’s gaming efforts. It’s reportedly moving away from making a cloud gaming platform where subscribers buy and play games. Instead, Google will use the technology in partnerships with major third-party companies under the moniker Google Stream. As someone who has actively played… Source link

Appointment Slots, the corporate offering, looks dated compared to Appointment Schedule. It’s also much less configurable—you can’t add custom question fields, for example, and there’s no way to automatically add a video call. So, to review: Individual Google users, basically anyone with an @gmail.com email address, can pay to upgrade to Google Workspace Individual. This includes the Appointment Schedule feature, which compares reasonably well with Calendly. Business Google users,… Source link
