What are FIDO standards, and Why Do They Matter? FIDO stands for Fast Identity Online, which aims to improve the existing password-only login system and provide a secure replacement for traditional 2FA methods such as SMS verification. FIDO uses cryptography to generate a public key and a private key during registration and uses this combination to help a user log in seamlessly and without cumbersome passwords. In short, the benefit to the end-user is that they no longer have to enter their password when trying to log into a web service....

It features a dual-core A5 chip, the latest Lightning connector, 5MP back camera and FaceTime HD front camera as well as 2x faster WiFi and the same aluminum back as seen on bigger iPads....

But for now, let’s focus on the ones that do, and here are our picks for the best Google Drive add-ons....

By signing up for Google Photos, users are essentially agreeing to share gigs of data with the search engine behemoth. Switching off the backup feature effectively makes the app kaput and restricts you from using any of its intelligent tools. Of course, Google Photos is designed to take the hassle out of managing or looking through hundreds of pictures or videos. Therefore, disabling the backup and restore feature is certainly counterintuitive....

Oh, and in recent times, it’s the company which copies its competitors. And for those with brains running at the speed of 0.01 miles per hour — yes, we are talking about Snapchat here! Facebook has just introduced a new camera feature to its Messenger application which comes with various AR based filters. Ummm… we think we have seen this “newly added” feature before somewhere. And guess where? Snapchat, of course....

Bringing Data Settings and Tools to the Forefront One thing I have always hated about Facebook is the inaccessibility of settings. Facebook has now sorted this out by offering a unified privacy hub for Facebook mobile users. With this in place, users can access all the privacy settings in a single menu. Facebook has also cleared up outdated apps, and you can always choose the type of information that you want to be withheld from the app....

The new changes introduced to the Google Photos app at the I/O developer conference today makes it a lot easier for the average users to fix their photos. The AI built into the new app suggest fixes and various tweaks that include but not limited to rotations, brightness, corrections, adding pops of color.

Here’s how apps and books, or just any other recommendation system works: much like personalized ads, which are targeted at one’s personal taste – the things you buy online, the things you seem to be interested in, Google logs relevant content. If that wasn’t scary enough, it also shows you what your friends (or people you’ve in your Google+ circle) are recommending. I, for one, am not really a fan of erotic content, heck, even if I was, I wouldn’t use my work email ID to access such things....

As of late, Google My Maps has become a cesspool of illicit listings. These entries consist of various links which all lead to an online player or a download page that allows anyone to grab a copy of any recently leaked file such as the Game of Thrones debacle. “My Maps” is not a particularly popular platform and essentially, lets you create custom maps as the name suggests. However, the service hasn’t received much traction since its last update which was way back in 2016....

If you, too, are wondering what happens to Android TV moving forward, here’s a breakdown of all that’s changed with Google TV and the differences between Android TV and Google TV. What Is Google TV?...

Microsoft released a developer preview of Windows 8 last night and surprisingly made it available for general public too. Though this brand new OS is half-baked and is meant to be used by developers to build apps for Windows 8, it’s way too tempting for a non-developer to let go the opportunity to get the first taste of a hot & sexy OS. Not to worry, we have a detailed yet simple guide to help you install and test-drive Windows 8 on your existing PC using a free to use virtualization software called VirtualBox....
