But while physical sales have been on the decline, advertising- and subscription-funded streaming have been a source of growth. In 2016 YouTube paid out over <a href="https://youtube.googleblog.com/2016/12/a-billion-reasons-to-celebrate-music-on.html">1 billion USD</a> to the music industry from ad revenue alone; and our <a href="https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2797370?hl=en">Content ID</a> allows the music industry to control their content on the platform, including the ability to make money from fan-uploaded music content. </p><p>Nonetheless, there is a lively debate about whether YouTube is good or bad for the music industry overall. To get to the bottom of this question, and to better understand the way the industry has changed in the digital age, we commissioned a study from <a href="http://www.rbbecon.com/">RBB Economics</a>. The study, which looks at exclusive YouTube data and a survey of 6,000 users across Germany, France, Italy and the U.K, will examine several aspects of the transformed industry in a series of papers being published over the coming weeks. </p><p>In the <a href="http://www.rbbecon.com/downloads/2017/05/Value-of-YouTube-to-the-music-industry-Paper-I-Cannibalization.pdf">first paper, published today</a>, RBB looks at the question of cannibalisation: does the fact that people listen to music on YouTube mean that they don’t use other—sometimes more lucrative—sources of music? </p><p>The study finds that this is not the case. In fact, if YouTube didn’t exist, 85% of time spent on YouTube would move to lower value channels, and would result in a significant increase in piracy.</p><p>The researchers find that significant cannibalisation by YouTube of other legitimate music channels is unlikely, for a few reasons:</p><ul><li><p>Based on survey data they find that, in the absence of YouTube, most time spent listening to music on YouTube would be lost or shifted to lower value music channels.</p></li></ul></div></div>

In <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/28/building-a-gtx-1080-ti-powered-hackintosh-installing-macos-sierra-step-by-step-video/">our most recent Hackintosh build</a>, we paired an Intel i7 6700k with Nvidia’s fastest gaming GPU, the 1080 Ti.</p>
<p>The results weren’t all that surprising. Performance was good in a macOS environment even when using <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2017/04/11/nvidia-releases-pascal-web-drivers-mac-os-gtx-10-series-cards/">Nvidia’s beta web drivers</a>. Performance was a lot better, though, in a Windows environment, where Pascal GPUs can really thrive.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in building a Hackintosh solely for video editing, however, then an Nvidia-powered GPU option might not be the best choice. Sure, Nvidia GPUs with their CUDA cores are generally superior for editing in an Adobe workflow, but if you’re building a Hackintosh machine solely for video editing, chances are you’re interested in running <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/final-cut-pro/id424389933?mt=12&at=11l9Le">Final Cut Pro X</a>.</p>

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Jim and Kelley never imagined that a curious request from their youngest daughter would transform into a full-fledged business, or that a small storefront in Hayden, ID, would become a popular travel destination for knitting enthusiasts worldwide. Yet today Alpaca Direct is at the heart of a vibrant and global knitting community. With the help of the web, they’ve brought the warmth of alpaca wool to more than 100,000 customers across 30 countries. As Kelley says, “With Google tools, we can do that, and [customers] can be part of our community.”</p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>In 2016, Google’s search and advertising tools helped provide $222 billion of economic activity for 1.5 million businesses, website publishers, and nonprofits across the U.S. Our <a href="https://economicimpact.google.com/#/">2016 Economic Impact Report</a> explores that economic impact state-by-state and the local businesses that are helping to drive it.<br/></p><p>While working on a small leather goods line in New York City, Tanya Menendez and Matthew Burnett realized how difficult it was to find local manufacturers. In an effort to democratize that access, the two started <a href="http://makersrow.com/">Maker’s Row</a>, an online marketplace that helps small businesses find American factories to make their products. They use AdWords to both establish factory partnerships and find new customers, and YouTube to, as Tanya describes, “put a face behind the products that are made in the United States.” In five years, the company has helped 120,000 small businesses source and create products in 11,000 American factories.</p></div></div>

After adopting the enterprise features, the World Bank has been able to provide a full set of internal and third-party mobile apps through the <a href="https://play.google.com/work">managed Google Play Store</a>, allowing employees to work from anywhere. All applications are delivered and configured automatically through Google Play, so users don’t need to set up apps.</p><p>Employees have a choice between corporate-provisioned or personally-enabled Android phones that provide users with first-class mobile-enhanced capabilities. By using Android’s <a href="https://enterprise.google.com/android/solutions/personal/">work profile</a> and VPN support, employees can access sensitive data and keep it secure and separate from personal information. And with the availability of dual SIM devices, many users have been able to ditch a second device and work with one Android phone to communicate abroad and at home.</p><p>The native capabilities in Android allow the World Bank to manage its devices through our partner <a href="http://www.mobileiron.com">MobileIron</a> in a consistent way, reducing complexity and the cost of support. As part of their migration to modern enterprise management APIs and the managed Google Play Store, they’re able to follow Android’s <a href="https://blog.google/topics/connected-workspaces/android-mobility-best-practice-advisories/">enterprise best practices</a> for secure deployments, such as blocking installation of apps from unknown sources.</p><p>The World Bank is a leading example of how organizations can leverage the built-in enterprise features in Android to securely expand mobility and make employees more productive. </p><p><i>To learn about the enterprise and security features in Android and how they can work for your organization, check out <a href="https://live.mobileironevents.com/">MobileIron Live </a>this week in Santa Clara or <a href="http://emealive.mobileironevents.com/">MobileIron Live in Berlin</a> June 1-2, where Android leaders will be presenting in various keynote and technical track discussions. </i></p><p><br/></p></div></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/MKuf/~4/lLFhz-uvxX8" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>Tue, 09 May 2017 15:00:00 +0000Tue, 09 May 2017 15:00:00 +0000The Official Google BlogMicrosoft highlights a series of affordable premium Windows 10 PCs

For me, it’s Mr. Aalbers, my 5th grade teacher. His imagination and love for exploration —through books and classroom projects— sparked a curiosity that still drives me today. I can only hope my own children will be as lucky as I was to have a teacher like him.

Since January, we’ve run a pilot program with more than 50 organizations who have hosted 100+ events to ensure that the space and resources are flexible and beneficial to the needs of local organizations. As part of today's opening, we're also sharing that in 2016 alone, Google.org supported Bay Area nonprofits with $50M in direct grant funding, and Googlers have volunteered over 89,000 hours of their time to local organizations.</p><p>This post comes from Shaun Tai, the Executive Director at Oakland Digital and Product Lead at BRIDGEGOOD.com. He talks about his experience hosting weekly programs in the Community Space and the many ways he and his team are supported by Google.org and Googler volunteers.</p></i></div></div>

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Every Wednesday this year, Oakland Digital has brought a group of community college students to Google’s 188 The Embarcadero office so they can collaborate, learn, and work on community-benefit projects. These students are part of <a href="http://www.bridgegood.com">BRIDGEGOOD</a>—an online hiring platform that connects under-resourced creatives (e.g., graphic designers and artists) with real-world design and marketing projects generated by businesses and nonprofits throughout the community.</p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Oakland Digital has proudly participated in a pilot program that Google.org has been running for 50 local organizations to provide feedback for their new Community Space. Nonprofit organizations know that <a href="https://ncg.org/sites/default/files/files/news/NCG_NPO_survey%20report.pdf">finding affordable space</a> in the Bay Area is a constant and growing issue. Working in close collaboration with local organizations, Google’s 8,400+ square feet of event and meeting space is an absolute game changer. It’s flexible enough for nonprofits to host collaborative brainstorming sessions to larger capacity, full-day seminars. Since the pilot started, there have been more than 100 events in the space, and in true Google fashion, their teams have “launched and iterated” by taking feedback and implementing changes into the space so it could better suit our needs. Other perks: the space comes fully-stocked with a microkitchen, a conference room, an area to hold workshops, a maker’s space, Chromebooks, VR equipment and more. </p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>Google's support of Oakland Digital started in 2012 when Googlers Mary and Steve Grove educated small businesses at Oakland City Hall about the power of technology. Each year, our relationship and community impact has grown—from board membership, thought leadership, and in 2015, funding. Google shares Oakland Digital’s belief that creativity can change the world— and recognized that an overlooked pipeline of creative talent comes from community colleges. </p><p>As such, Google.org provided significant support—a multi-year, six-figure grant for us to build, design, create, and deploy our BRIDGEGOOD web application. Oakland Digital is most proud that local students are a part of design and engineering process—having access to Google’s community space has inspired and boosted the confidence of our beneficiaries. The equipment, the technology, and the space itself has allowed us to work more productively together.</p><p>The energy that exists at Google.org, combined with access to this new Community Space and its nonprofit-driven programs, is fueling positive change and <i>will</i> make a difference. It’s that same combination of energy and access that will help other local Bay Area social entrepreneurs further their scale and impact.</p><p>So to my fellow Bay Area nonprofits and social good innovators, I invite you to come check out Google’s Community Space and apply for membership to start the process to host your events and programs in the space today at <a href="http://g.co/communityspace">g.co/communityspace.</a> Membership for the space is free—just click on “Become a Member” at the top right. The website also includes details on what is included in the space and programs that Google.org will coordinate throughout the year.</p><p>Stay inspired, continue to spread inspiration, and remember that with creativity and leadership, anything is possible.</p></div></div>

For most of my life, college seemed out of reach—no one in my family or neighborhood had gone, so it was hard to imagine that I’d ever get there. The day I committed to going to college was the day my life changed. It opened many doors and opportunities, and I made lifelong friends (and learned a few important lessons) along the way. Now I’ve dedicated my career at Google to helping educators use technology to give students more opportunities. </p><p> Though it didn’t have an official name when I was in school, College Signing Day marks the day when high school seniors commit to attending a four-year university, professional training program or community college. This College Signing Day, I'm joining Michelle Obama to <a href="http://www.mtvpress.com/press-releases/2017/04/26/mtv-to-host-2017-college-signing-day-featuring-former-first-lady-michelle-obama-in-new-york-city-at-the-public-theater-on-may-5th">celebrate this moment</a> and the students whose lives are about to change with their decision to go to college.</p><p> Attending college was a huge milestone for me, but it was accompanied by fear and anxiety. I was entering the unfamiliar and unknown, and my mind filled with dread and doubt. Who was going to help me? If I take out student loans, will I ever make enough money to pay those loans back? What if I'm not smart enough? What if I don’t make any friends?</p><p> These reservations are intensified for students who are growing up the way I grew up. You don't know many individuals who went to college, so you don’t have anyone to turn turn to for guidance or to help you build the confidence and mindset you need to succeed in college. But I was a stubborn kid (and am now a stubborn adult) and refused to accept expectations for kids like me—that we were destined to a life of crime or poverty. I wanted to prove the stereotypes wrong, which is why I committed to attending SUNY Brockport.</p><p> For students who are the first in their family to attend college, celebrating College Signing Day is critical. We tell students the most important thing they can do for their future is to focus on their education. We tell them how higher education will give them the perspective and tools they’ll use for the rest of their lives. When these students get into college, it’s an enormous accomplishment—and we need to show them it’s worth celebrating.</p><p> Though these students may not have grown up around college graduates, they’ll soon be surrounded by a community of educators, counselors, students and alumni who can help them through the college experience. This community—combined that with the love and support of families and communities back home—is critical to the success of college-bound students.</p><p> Google has done a lot of work to expand opportunities for students at every step of their education (so that they can eventually make it to College Signing Day!). Through Google.org we’ve <a href="https://blog.google/topics/google-org/helping-close-education-gap/">committed $50 million</a> toward supporting nonprofits that are working to close global education gaps. We’ve built <a href="https://edu.google.com/">products and tools</a>—like Classroom and Chromebooks—designed to make teaching and learning more effective and engaging. And we’ve also created <a href="https://edu.google.com/cs/">programs</a> that give every student the tools to become the creators, not just the consumers, of technology. </p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>A critical component of this commitment is ensuring that <a href="https://careers.google.com/students/">every student</a> also has a pathway to pursue their higher education, whether that’s through scholarships, mentors or interning with us at Google. In partnership with Reach Higher (part of the <a href="https://www.bettermakeroom.org/">Better Make Room</a> initiative), we’ve also created a series of Google Expeditions for students to virtually visit college campuses. This opens up opportunities for students who don’t have the means to travel to for college visits—they can check out residence halls, classrooms, and even financial aid offices before ever stepping foot on campus. Colleges interested in creating their own Expedition can <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeTdm5XfMn7AFqxNIuLcsHQCAhvIcZWILaRW_jFze7KheWcKA/viewform">sign up via this form</a>.</p></div></div>

If you use Gmail, you can rest assured that every day, millions of phishing emails are blocked from ever reaching your inbox.</p><p>This week, we defended against an email <a href="https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/docs/zbkCm9Ohw0s;context-place=topicsearchin/docs/phishing%7Csort:date">phishing campaign</a> that tricked some of our users into inadvertently granting access to their contact information, with the intent to spread more phishing emails. We took quick action to revoke all access granted to the attacker as well as steps to reduce and prevent harm from future variants of this type of attack.</p><p>Here’s some background to help you understand how the campaign worked, how we addressed it and how you can better protect yourself against attacks.</p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><h3>How the campaign worked and how we addressed it</h3><p>Victims of this attack received an email that appeared to be an invite to a Google Doc from one of their contacts. When users clicked the link in the attacker’s email, it directed them to the attacker’s application, which requested access to the user’s account under the false pretense of gaining access to the Google Doc. If the user authorized access to the application (through a mechanism called OAuth), it used the user's contact list to send the same message to more people.</p><p>Upon detecting this issue, we immediately responded with a combination of automatic and manual actions that ended this campaign within an hour. We removed fake pages and applications, and pushed user-protection updates through Safe Browsing, Gmail, Google Cloud Platform, and other counter-abuse systems. Fewer than 0.1% of our users were affected by this attack, and we have taken steps to re-secure affected accounts.</p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><p>We protect our users from phishing attacks in a number of ways, including:</p><p></p><ul><li>Using machine learning-based detection of spam and phishing messages, which has contributed to 99.9% accuracy in spam detection<br/></li><li>Providing <a href="https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/safebrowsing/">Safe Browsing</a> warnings about dangerous links, within Gmail and across more than 2 billion browsers<br/></li><li>Preventing suspicious account sign-ins through dynamic, risk-based challenges<br/></li><li>Scanning email attachments for malware and other dangerous payloads </li></ul><p></p><p>In addition, we’re taking multiple steps to combat this type of attack in the future, including updating our policies and enforcement on OAuth applications, updating our anti-spam systems to help prevent campaigns like this one, and augmenting monitoring of suspicious third-party apps that request information from our users.</p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><h3>How users can protect themselves</h3><p>We’re committed to keeping your Google Account safe, and have layers of defense in place to guard against sophisticated attacks of all types, from anti-hijacking systems detecting unusual behavior, to machine learning models that block malicious content, to protection measures in Chrome and through Safe Browsing that guard against visiting suspicious sites. In addition, here are a few ways users can further protect themselves:</p><p></p><ul><li>Take the <a href="https://myaccount.google.com/secureaccount">Google Security Checkup</a>, paying particular attention to any applications or devices you no longer use, as well as any unrecognized devices<br/></li><li>Pay attention to <a href="https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1074268?hl=en">warnings and alerts</a> that appear in Gmail and other products<br/></li><li>Report <a href="https://support.google.com/mail/answer/8253?hl=en">suspicious emails</a> and <a href="https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/">other content</a> to Google<br/></li></ul><p></p></div></div>
<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><h3>How G Suite admins can protect their users </h3><p>We’ve separately notified G Suite customers whose users were tricked into granting OAuth access.

<div class="block-paragraph"><div class="rich-text"><h3>Eliminating spam within Gmail using machine learning</h3><p>One of the earliest machine learning use cases for G Suite was within Gmail. Historically, Gmail used a rule-based system, which meant our anti-spam team would create new rules to match individual spam patterns. Over a decade of using this process, we improved spam detection <a href="https://gmail.googleblog.com/2015/07/the-mail-you-want-not-spam-you-dont.html">accuracy to 99 percent</a>.</p><p>Starting in 2014, our team augmented this rule-based system to generate rules using machine learning algorithms instead, taking spam detection one step further. Now, we use TensorFlow and other machine learning to continually regenerate the “spam filter,” so the system has learned to predict which emails are most likely junk. Machine learning finds new patterns and adapts far quicker than previous manual systems—it’s a big part of the reason that more than one billion Gmail users <a href="https://www.wired.com/2015/07/google-says-ai-catches-99-9-percent-gmail-spam/">avoid spam</a> within their account.</p><h3>See machine learning in your favorite G Suite apps</h3><p>G Suite’s goal is to help teams accomplish more with its intelligent apps, no matter where they are in the world. And chances are, you’ve already seen machine learning integrated into your day-to-day work to do just that.</p><a href="https://blog.google/products/gmail/computer-respond-to-this-email/">Smart Reply</a>, for example, uses machine learning to generate three natural language responses to an email. So if you find yourself on the road or pressed for time and in need of a quick way to clear your inbox, let Smart Reply do it for you.</div></div>
