Contains official and unofficial news.(ENG)Internet Citizens: Let's make a better webhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~3/UJU_0YRmxGE/<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>The internet is a place where anyone can have a voice, be part of a community and generate positive social change. But the internet isn’t always positive or welcoming for everyone.<br/><br/>Nearly all of us will have come across comments or content online that shocked or even offended us, sometimes leaving us feeling isolated or powerless to change the conversation. For young people in particular, this sense of vulnerability can be heightened especially when something is shared on social media by a trusted friend.<br/><br/>That’s why we’re launching Internet Citizens, a series of day-long workshops for 13-18 year olds in cities across the U.K., as part of our global YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/yt/creators-for-change/">Creators for Change</a> program, which supports creators who are tackling social issues and promoting awareness, tolerance and empathy on their YouTube channels. The workshops will help young people find a positive sense of belonging online and teach skills on how to participate safely and responsibly, and use tools such as flagging and comment moderation to make the web better for all. Some of the specific topics include what could be done in response to offensive speech, fake news, echo chambers and how they could use video to bring diverse groups together.<br/><br/>Our curriculum was designed by experts from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, in partnership with UK Youth and Livity, and was also informed by our work with an advisory council including Faith Associates, Active Change Foundation, the MET Police, Demos and the Diana Award. Hosting these workshops are Alain “Fusion” Clapham and Efe Ezekiel, along with YouTube creator <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4w87hy0xlGd_GXbXrLOaIA">Nadir Nahdi</a>, Founder of BENI, all of whom have mastered the art of using their voice and creativity to drive social change.<br/><br/>We’ve spent the last few weeks testing the workshop before our launch today in Liverpool, and have seen some promising results. With the help of UK Youth, we’ll visit youth clubs across the country over the coming months, and we’ll also explore ways to work further with youth workers and other partners to scale the program.<br/><br/>This is just one part of our commitment to a better web. Alongside this, we’re exploring more innovative ways to use technology and to partner with experts to help us tackle hate speech online. We’ll share more updates on these areas in the coming weeks.<br/><br/>And Fusion said it best: The internet is what we want it to be. It can be an unpleasant place where people misunderstand and deliberately deceive each other. Or it can be this amazing place where we can share, collaborate, understand and help each other.<br/><br/>To find out more about Internet Citizens, please visit our <a href="http://yt.be/internetcitizens">website</a>.</p><p></p></div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~4/UJU_0YRmxGE" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Fri, 21 Apr 2017 08:00:00 +0000Fri, 21 Apr 2017 08:00:00 +0000The Official Google BlogOvercast podcast app updated with Apple Watch playback

In the second half of 2016, we received over 45,000 government requests for user data worldwide. This is the most government requests we’ve received for user data in a six-month period since we released our first transparency report in 2010.</p><p>In many ways, this shouldn’t be surprising. As more people use more of our services, and as we offer new ones, it is natural that we are seeing an increase in government requests. For example, Gmail had around <a href="https://googleblog.blogspot.no/2012/06/chrome-apps-google-io-your-web.html">425 million active users</a> in 2012, and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/gmail-has-1-billion-monthly-active-users-2016-2">more than 1 billion</a> by 2016. And as digital evidence increasingly becomes part of criminal investigations, other companies are seeing similar trends. We of course continue to require appropriate legal process for these requests, resist overbroad requests not narrowly calibrated to legitimate law enforcement requirements, and reform modernization of data surveillance laws. </p><p>Cross-border requests for data continue to account for a substantial portion of overall requests, with over 31,000 in the second half of 2016 coming from outside of the United States.. This volume underscores the need for an improved international framework that meets legitimate law enforcement needs and ensures high standards of due process, privacy and human rights. The Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) process facilitates the production of digital evidence in cross-border investigations (when the crime occurs in one country but data is held by a company in another country). But the MLAT process is often slow and cumbersome: on average, it takes <a href="https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/sites/default/files/docs/2013-12-12_rg_final_report.pdf">10 months to process an MLAT request</a> in the United States. That’s a long time for an investigator to wait.</p><p>Without better and faster ways to collect cross-border evidence, countries will be tempted to take unilateral actions to deal with a fundamentally multilateral problem. A sustainable framework for handling digital evidence in legitimate cross-border investigations will help avoid a chaotic, conflicting patchwork of data location proposals and <i>ad hoc</i> surveillance measures that may threaten privacy and generate uncertainty, without fundamentally advancing legitimate law enforcement and national security interests.</p><p>We believe that governments can develop solutions that appropriately balance the various interests at stake. This includes respecting the legitimate privacy rights of users, wherever they are, as well as the obligations of governments to investigate crimes and protect their residents. The conversation should include a broad group of stakeholders, including not just law enforcement and national security perspectives, but also the voices of citizens, civil society groups and providers of information services that cross national borders.</p><p>This discussion will raise difficult questions about the scope of government surveillance powers, the extent of digital jurisdiction, the importance of rapid investigations, and privacy rights in the Internet age—fundamental issues that can’t be adequately addressed by courts using antiquated legal standards or by governments acting in an <i>ad hoc</i> fashion.</p><p>We look forward to sharing more thoughts about the legal frameworks that can address some of these challenges in the coming weeks and months. And we look forward to working with relevant stakeholders to craft viable and lasting solutions. </p><p></p></div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~4/e4k9ILF2pRE" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Thu, 20 Apr 2017 18:00:00 +0000Thu, 20 Apr 2017 18:00:00 +0000The Official Google BlogApple’s rumored AR glasses possibly detailed in accidental document leak

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>As such an important symbol in art history, the altarpiece has long been highly sought after and widely coveted. Since 1432, when it was first installed at Saint Bavo Cathedral in what’s now Belgium, the Altarpiece has <a href="https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/beta/u/0/theme/DQKCAOHVxaa8Lw">survived 13 crimes</a>. Looted, burned and torn apart, it’s been through the hands of multiple armies, including those of Napoleon and the Nazis.</p>After World War II, the <a href="https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/beta/u/0/exhibit/2QLytIcpKuJmJw">Monuments Men</a>—a group set up by the Allied armies to protect cultural heritage from the Nazis—brought it back to its original home in Ghent, Belgium. One of the panels—“The Just Judges”—is still missing following its theft in 1934. Its absence remains one of the most intriguing riddles in art history.</div></div>

With a huge range of devices on multiple platforms used by over 61,000 employees, it’s no small feat.</p><p>Google’s Technical Infrastructure organization is tasked with protecting employees against sophisticated adversaries, while ensuring that corporate security practices do not interfere with Google’s culture of innovation, freedom and flexibility. It accomplishes this with a tiered access security model that categorizes corporate services and devices into trust tiers to determine access. </p><p>Today, we are <a href="https://lp.google-mkto.com/rs/248-TPC-286/images/eBook%202%20-%20Tiered%20Access_v5%20-%20Google%20Cloud%20Branding.pdf">sharing details about our tiered access approach</a> so that IT admins can use it to deploy devices in their organizations.</p><p>In contrast to traditional security models, tiered access looks at a wide range of variables to make granular decisions regarding access. These variables go beyond simple user authentications—for example, device state, group permissions and required level of trust for a particular employee role are all taken into account.</p>First, internal services are associated with a trust tier according to the sensitivity of the data. A service can have one minimum trust tier or a more granular model of access where components and/or capabilities (e.g. read or write access) have different minimum trust tiers based on risk. <p></p></div></div>

<p>Most phishing attacks – links that send you to a fake website in the hope that you’ll login with your real credentials – are usually easy to detect. Emails are often generic, rather than using your registered name. Grammar is poor or the wording is weird. The email will threaten closure of your account if you don’t take urgent action, and so on.</p>
<p>If you did miss all these clues and click on the link, the URL would show that it’s not really the site that it claims to be. But one demonstration site created by a Chinese security researcher shows how it’s possible to visit a fake website that seemingly shows the correct <a href="https://www.apple.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.apple.com</a> URL in a browser window …</p>

<p>When we <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/19/apple-store-5th-ave-cube/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">learned yesterday</a> that Apple seemingly plans to replace the iconic glass cube of the Apple Store at New York’s 5th Avenue, the reason wasn’t clear. However, some architectural models that have just come to light might explain the reason and give us a sneak preview of the new design of the flagship store.</p>
<p>Apple replaced the glass cube once before, <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2011/11/03/apples-5th-avenue-store-closes-as-the-wraps-come-off-the-cube/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">back in 2011</a>, when it was able to reduce the number of glass panes from 90 to just 15, resulting in a much cleaner look. But this time we’ve learned that the replacement cube may not look any different to the existing one …</p>

https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/20/apple-100-recycled-materials-comment/

<p>There’s an acronym widely used for setting goals: SMART. There are a few different versions of this floating around, but one common one is that objectives should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound. Apple’s stated commitment to <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/19/apple-stop-mining-announcement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">stop mining the earth</a> and build all products from recycled materials would seem to fail on two of these criteria.</p>
<p>It isn’t currently achievable. It simply isn’t realistic today for Apple to obtain all of the materials it requires in the quantities it needs at a viable price without mining some of them, and there’s no saying when it might become so.</p>
<p>It’s also not time-bound. Apple has given no indication of when it might reach its goal. Anyone can claim almost anything will be achieved – however far-fetched – without specifying a timeframe.</p>
<p>But while Apple’s objective isn’t SMART, that doesn’t make it either meaningless or useless …</p>

https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/19/akitio-node-gtx-1080-ti-gpu-macbook-pro-gaming-egpu/
Thu, 20 Apr 2017 01:56:17 +0000<div class="feat-image"><img src="https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2017/04/gtx-1080-ti-akitio-node.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&strip=all&w=1600&h=1000" /></div>
<p>After last week’s exciting release of <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/11/nvidia-releases-pascal-web-drivers-mac-os-gtx-10-series-cards/">Nvidia’s beta Pascal drivers for Mac</a>, I was looking forward to trying the top of the line consumer GPU with my MacBook Pro. That GPU is none other than the venerable GeForce GTX 1080 Ti — a $700 card with 11 Gbps of GDDR5X memory and a 11 GB frame buffer. Needless to say this card is one that will interest those looking to push their games to the next level.</p>
<p>I took the time to install my EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FE inside of my <a href="http://amzn.to/2oJeF4w">Akitio Node</a> external GPU enclosure. After connecting the unit to my 2016 MacBook Pro via a Thunderbolt 3 cable, all it took was a simple shell script and a reboot to get the unit working with a (required in macOS) external display.</p>
<p>Nvidia’s drivers are still in beta, and from my hands-on time, the experience is far from perfect in macOS. That said, you can most certainly see the potential and performance differences between the 13-inch MacBook Pro’s integrated Intel Iris Graphics 550 GPU, and the beastly 1080 Ti. As expected, it’s also a lot faster than the GTX 1050 Ti that <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/11/hands-on-powering-the-macbook-pro-with-an-egpu-using-nvidias-new-pascal-drivers/">I tested last week</a>.</p>
<p>If you’re looking to truly experience the power of such a card with the MacBook Pro, however, you’ll need to step into the Windows world, and run a Boot Camp installation. The GTX 1080 Ti + Windows turns the MacBook Pro into an insanely powerful and flexible gaming machine with just a single Thunderbolt 3 cable. Watch our hands-on video walkthrough as we explain. <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/19/akitio-node-gtx-1080-ti-gpu-macbook-pro-gaming-egpu/#more-477596" class="more-link">more…</a></p><img alt="" border="0" src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=9to5mac.com&blog=22754319&post=477596&subd=9to5mac&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1" /><img alt="" border="0" src="https://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=9to5mac.com&blog=22754319&post=477596&subd=9to5mac&ref=&feed=1" width="1" height="1" />Thu, 20 Apr 2017 01:56:17 +00009to5MacBose accused of spying on headphone & speaker users, selling listening data

Then, we built “Tabel” to be viewable on as many different platforms and in as many ways as possible, especially on mobile browsers. “Tabel” was created in <a href="https://blog.google/products/chrome/experience-virtual-reality-web-chrome/">WebVR</a>, making it easily viewable on any smartphone via the Chrome browser in 360 video mode or with a VR headset. The viewing experience becomes immersive when viewing the film with <a href="https://vr.google.com/daydream/headset/">Daydream View</a> or <a href="https://vr.google.com/cardboard/get-cardboard/">Google Cardboard</a>. “Tabel” was filmed using the Odyssey, the <a href="https://vr.google.com/jump/">Jump</a> camera created by Google and GoPro.<br/></p><p>“Tabel” is the latest in a series of experiments from Google’s <a href="https://www.thinkwithgoogle.com/collections/art-copy-code.html">Art Copy and Code project</a>. As the roles of the VR storyteller and the viewer evolve, we’re excited to see what parts everyone will play.<br/></p></div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~4/4FfpXRot7TE" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Wed, 19 Apr 2017 19:30:00 +0000Wed, 19 Apr 2017 19:30:00 +0000The Official Google BlogNot an Xbox Insider?

But we also know people want to quickly find and revisit the places that mean the most to them, whether it's a childhood home or favorite vacation spot.</p><p>So, today we’re launching an update to Earth VR that gives you the ability to search.

We have also given more than $3.5 million to the security research community in rewards for helping us identify security bugs so we can fix them and strengthen Chrome.

Festival-goers are wondering, “What should I pack for Coachella?” and “When does Coachella release set times?” Non-festival goers are asking, “What is Coachella?” Whether you’re into crop tops or fringe, Radiohead or Lady Gaga, Valencia or Nashville Instagram filter … there’s something for everyone.</p><h3>United Airlines experiences some turbulence </h3><p>After a United Airlines passenger was forcibly removed from an overbooked flight to make room for a crew member, the public was outraged and didn’t hold back on social media. People turned to Google to ask "Why did United Airlines remove passengers?" But they were most interested in how it was affecting the airline's bottom line. Three of the top five related queries tried to assess "How much did United stock drop?"</p><h3>Hunting for Easter eggs and having a (matzah) ball</h3><p>Easter and Passover celebrations are happening this week. In addition to searching for instructions on how to dye Easter eggs, people are wondering “How do you say Happy Passover?” and “Is Easter Monday a holiday?” Not in the U.S., sadly—so go easy on those Cadbury eggs.</p><h3>Pics or it didn’t happen</h3><p>In honor of National Siblings Day, people dug up old family photos (whether adorable, awkward or filled with braces), and shared them on social media. Spurred by this frenzy, people searched for “national sibling day captions,” “funny national sibling day quotes,” and even “only child on national siblings day.”</p><h3>Nothing is certain, except … </h3><p>Your taxes are due. But procrastinators have been rewarded this year—people have three more days than usual to complete their taxes. So in addition to asking "when is tax day in 2017?" searchers are curious about the reason for this year's extended deadline. The answer? When April 15 falls on a weekend, the deadline is moved to the following Monday. But April 17 is Emancipation Day, a legal holiday in D.C., giving everyone an extra day to file.</p></div></div>
