There's even more evidence the Samsung Galaxy Watch launch is happening soon

We know Samsung is readying a new smartwatch for release – even the company's own website has let the product slip – but a new certification offers further proof we'll be seeing it soon. The new Samsung Galaxy Watch has just received its radio certification in Korea after previously getting its Federal Communications Commission (FCC) details in the US earlier this month. This isn't particularly exciting news in terms of new features, design elements or otherwise, but it is further evidence the watch will be ready to launch in the coming weeks or, at most, months. Piling on the evidence There are a variety of events where Samsung may decide to launch the Galaxy Watch. One is the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 launch in New York next week on August 9. Samsung is also hosting a livestream for a new product on August 1, which may include either the Galaxy Tab S4 or perhaps the Samsung Galaxy Watch – though it may just be a teaser for the Note 9. On top of that, Samsung will li...

WhatsApp group calls are now live for Android and iOS

Up to four people can now chat at once using WhatsApp for Android and iOS. The new group call feature is rolling out to both platforms at the same time, and lets app users set up multi-way video or voice calls. To use it, start a call with just one person, then tap the 'Add participants' button in the top-right to invite more friends. The new participant will receive a notification, and can choose whether to accept or decline. You can only invite one new participant at a time, and you can't invite a fourth caller until the third has joined. Only the host can invite more people to join a call. Speak easy Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced group calls for WhatsApp and Instagram (both of which are owned by the social media behemoth) at the F8 2018 developer conference in May. Zuckerberg said that people already make two billion minutes of voice and video calls on WhatsApp every day, and this new addition could add to that number.  All WhatsApp calls are end-to-end e...

Google mocks Microsoft and Apple in new Chromebook video

Image
It looks like Google is in a fighting mood, as it’s just released a new video that attacks Microsoft’s Windows and Apple’s macOS operating systems, while claiming that Chromebooks are the only laptops you can rely on. The video (which you can watch below) highlights a number of annoyances that people have complained about through the years when using laptops running Microsoft or Apple software. These include numerous error messages, annoying pop-up windows and even the dreaded Blue Screen of Death. Fighting words According to Google, Chromebooks are free from all these issues, with its ChromeOS operating system relatively virus-free. It's also constantly updated, so you’re not bugged about downloading updates when you’re trying to work. It’s certainly a provocative video, and one that may resonate with anyone who has been frustrated by Windows or macOS, but will it be enough to make people ditch their Windows laptops and MacBooks and switch to Chrome? That may take more work....

What is blockchain? Everything you need to know

Image
What is blockchain? Like much of the technology world, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin still rely on some form of database that are able to track large volumes of transactions and keep them secure. The solution used by many of the world’s largest digital currencies is the blockchain.  First implemented in 2009, the technology consists of 'blocks' that hold batches of timestamped transactions, with each block linked to the previous one through cryptography, thus forming a chain. As the world becomes ever more smarter and inter-connected, cryptocurrencies have become an increasingly attractive proposition for growing markets that may not have traditional banking infrastructure. Several developing third-world nations have implemented blockchain-based national currencies, and the technology is also used by several major charity projects to help those without bank accounts. However blockchain also offers the possibility of creating a fraud-proof system for transacting exchanges...
