Bringing Google+ Comments to Blogger

4 weeks ago by Emily Wood

Cross-posted from the Google Official blog

Posted by +Yonatan Zunger, Principal Engineer

Reading and responding to comments can be one of the most rewarding aspects of blogging. Not only do they help you connect with your readers, they can also inspire later blog entries. The challenge, oftentimes, is following all the conversations around your content—on Google+, for instance, as well as on your website. So we're making things a lot simpler.

 

Starting today, you can bring Google+ Comments to your Blogger blog. Once you've enabled the feature through your Blogger Dashboard, you'll enjoy a number of important benefits:

View your blog and Google+ comments, all in one place

Now when you're browsing your blog's comment threads, you'll see activity from direct visitors, and from people talking about your content on Google+. For example, if there's a public Google+ discussion about one of your blog entries, those comments and replies will also appear on your Blogger blog. This way you can engage with more of your readers, all in one place.

Help readers comment and connect with their circles

Your blog readers will now have the option to comment publicly, or privately to their circles on Google+. And when they're browsing blog comments, they can view all of them, just the top ones, or only those from the people in their circles.

In all cases, you and your readers will only see the comments you have permission to see. Giving people these kinds of controls not only encourages more meaningful sharing—it can lead to more blog traffic.

To get started with Google+ Comments, just visit the Google+ tab of your Blogger Dashboard, and check “Use Google+ Comments.” (Older comments will continue to appear in the new widget.)

You can also visit any post on the Official Google Blog (like this one), or on Blogger Buzz (like this one), to see Google+ Comments in action.

Happy commenting

Google Faces Another Antitrust Probe As Canadian Agency Prepares Formal Investigation

Google Faces Another Antitrust Probe As Canadian Agency Prepares Formal Investigation

Google is facing another competition investigation, according to the Financial Post. The Canadian Competition Bureau has informed Mountain View of its plans to launch a formal investigation of its Canadian operations. It has not yet requested any information or documents from Google but has informed the search giant of its intention to launch a probe.

The Bureau declined to comment on the scope of the investigation, noting that it is obliged by law to conduct investigations confidentially. Asked for comment on the probe, Leslie Church, Google Canada’s head of communications and public affairs, told the Post: “We will work co-operatively with the Competition Bureau to answer any questions they may have.”

The Canadian Competition Bureau administers and enforces Canada’s Competition Act, among other laws. Among the types of behaviour it investigates are abuse of a dominant position involving anti-competitive practices that “substantially lessen competition in the market, or are likely to do so”.

Google’s search engine is by far and away the dominant player in Canada. According toStatCounter data for April 2012 to 2013 Google’s share has declined over the past year but only very marginally, from more than 90% last year to just under 90% in April this year. The second largest search engine, Microsoft’s Bing, took less than 7% of the market in April 2013.

Competition investigation is well-trodden ground for Google. Mountain View has been the subject of a string of investigations for a range of business practices, including a 20-month FTC antitrust probe in the U.S. and a two-year+ European Union antitrust probe into its search and advertising operations that’s still ongoing, pushing into its third year.

The FTC probe ended with Google agreeing to make some voluntary tweaks to its search and ad business and without any fine being levied. In the European antitrust case, Google submitted proposals for changes to its practices back in April. Yesterday Reuters reported that EU antitrust regulators had extended the review period for Google’s rivals to study its proposals aftercomplaints that competitors were not being given as much time to formulate their responses.

If Google is found to have breached EU competition rules it could face a fine of up to 10% of its global revenue.

How devoted are Apple users to the Apple ecosystem?

How devoted are Apple users to the Apple ecosystem?

Very, according to a new Forrester survey. Microsoft and Google don't fare as well.

The bar at top represents entire user population. The left pie chart shows the 6% who are "devoted" to a particular mobile ecosystem. The right pie chart shows the 9% who are merely "loyal." Source: Forrester Research Inc. Click to enlarge.

FORTUNE -- According to a Forrester survey released this week, the vast majority of computer users (85% worldwide, 88% in the U.S.) have little or no loyalty to a particular mobile computing ecosystem -- the nexus of devices, software, services and sheer muscle memory that tie a user to one vendor or another.

Among those users who show any loyalty at all, Apple (AAPL) dominates. No big surprise there. What is a little surprising -- or at least new -- is what that loyalty looks like when measured quantitatively and served up in pie charts like the one above.

To take the full measure of ecosystem devotion, Forrester's Charles Golvin divided the user population into three groups:

• The Free Radicals, who have little to no loyalty. This group consists of two subgroups: those who own exactly one type of device and those who own multiple devices, all of which come from a different ecosystem.
• The Loyalists, who have moderate or divided loyalty. This group is made up of those using multiple devices, a majority of which — but not all — are tied to a single ecosystem.
• The Devotees, who are strongly loyal to a single ecosystem. This segment consists of those using multiple devices, all of which come from a single ecosystem.

As the pie chart above shows, Apple users represent 58% of the world's loyalists and 56% of its devotees. Among U.S. consumers, its dominance is even greater: 59% of loyalists and 71% -- repeat, 71% -- of devotees.

Microsoft (MSFT) is a contender in the devotee category (44% global info workers, 27% U.S. consumer), largely because Windows is still has a firm grip on 85% of the workplace PC market.

Google (GOOG), thanks to Android's majority share of the global smartphone market and growing share in tablets, has its loyalists -- 17% globally and 10% in the U.S. But until Chromebooks catch on, the number of Google devotees will remain, in Golvin's words, "vanishingly small."

Has Apple Lost its Innovative Secret Sauce? Poll Paints Troubling Picture

Has Apple Lost its Innovative Secret Sauce? Poll Paints Troubling Picture 

When Steve Jobs passed away in October 2011, Apple (AAPL) investors instantly worried the consumer electronics juggernaut had lost its innovative soul.

Increasingly, investors seem to be betting those fears are coming true.

Seventy-one percent of respondents in a newly-released Bloomberg poll say Apple has lost its cachet as an industry innovator, including 28% who say it is permanent and 43% who believe it may just be a temporary issue.

Another 23% of poll respondents believe Apple remains on top of the industry as an innovator and 6% were unsure, Bloomberg said.

That sentiment helps explain why Apple’s shares have tumbled 18% so far this year, vastly trailing the Nasdaq 100’s 13% rally and Google’s (GOOG) 28.5% leap.

Since topping out at $705.07 on September 21, Apple has plunged 38% through Thursday’s close at $434.58 as investors worry about rising competition from the likes of Google and especially Samsung.

Apple had long been admired for its groundbreaking inventions, including the iPod, iPhone and iPad. However, the Cupertino, Calif.-based company appears to have ceded some of that innovative ground to rivals like Samsung and Amazon.com (AMZN).

“They’ve definitely lost their momentum,” Lionel Mellul, head of the cash equity business at Sunrise Brokers, told Bloomberg pollsters. “It’s still at the point where they might turn things around. They still have a strong brand.”

Shares of Apple rose 0.95% to $438.58 Friday morning, outperforming a 0.60% advance by the S&P 500.

Tablet Skeleton

Getting Under The Hood of a Tablet

Since tablets are light and compact, their primary purpose is mobile computing. This means that they must have sufficient battery life, despite the large display screens and touch interface. Here’s the hardware that helps manufacturers make that happen.

Processors
The brain of any tablet is the processor that powers its core working. Since most devices are touch sensitive, and need to connect to the Internet and offer a long battery life, the processor should be light on the system. Most tablets today are powered by the processors from ARM or those based on Intel’s x86 architecture. A typical chipset based on the simple ARM architecture can handle 4 million instructions per second at 8 MHz (ARM1) to a maximum of 220 million instructions per second at 200 MHz (ARM9E). The architecture is licensed to a host of companies to develop their own processors, including the Qualcomm Snapdragon, the Samsung Hummingbird, Nintendo, Nvidia Tegra and the Apple A4. Intel has developed the Atom processor based on its x86 architecture. The Atom Z6xx codenamed Lincroft, offers GPU speeds of 1.6 GHz.

Operating Systems
The heart of the tablet is its operating system. There are several OSs that are device and vendor specific, while others are multi-platform. The most prominent OSs for tablets include iOS (a proprietary OS for Apple devices), Microsoft Windows 7 and Google's Android OS and now the more recent Blackberry Tablet OS or the Playbook tablet. More OS' are expected to come up in the future, which will include the Maemo operating system based on Linux, which is being developed by Nokia, and the webOS, originally developed by Palm, which would now power tablets and smartphones from HP. There are also talks of Chrome OS for Google tablets being developed by Google and HTC. The two mobile opertaing systems that have yet to be spoken of in terms of tablet technology is Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 and the on-its-way-out Symbian opertaing system, butyou never know.

The Apple iPad's innards

Storage Space
Tablets come with varying memory capacities, starting from 2GB (Wespro Epad) to, as much as 64GB (Apple iPad) built-in storage space. Tablets usually come with an SD card slot to increase storage space, but that is of limited use if the device is powered by Android 2.1 or lower, as those don’t let you install apps on external storage. Moreover, if your tablet offers USB ports, you can attach an external hard drive to get extra storage space for your data.

Touch Screen UI
A touch screen user interface is a bit different from the graphical user interface primarily due to touch-based inputs. While this kind of interface is useful to make the command selection via text more accurate, they offer extended features like adding widgets and live wallpaper to make your device more interactive. The iPad features a proprietary UI developed by Apple, there is the TouchWiz UI from Samsung, and the Sense UI by HTC.

Sensors
The touch screen in a tablet is not pressure-based, and relies on several sensors. The high-end tablets include an accelerometer, ambient light sensor and temperature sensor. The accelerometer or the gravity sensor helps to change the orientation of the screen in terms of how it is held. The ambient light sensor adjusts brightness and contrast of your tablet screen with respect to lighting conditions. The temperature sensor intimates you of your battery heat levels.

The Galaxy Tab exposed

Connectors
Most of the tablets offer several ports like the USB and HDMI, plus audio connectors and SD card and SIM card slots. However, the iPad is one of the few tablets that sports only one outlet that doubles as a charging port for the device.

Camera
Tablets usually feature a front camera for video calls on-the-go. The camera quality ranges from VGA quality right up to 8 megapixels. With the introduction of the Android 3.0 OS, which supports 3D, tablets are likely to sport dual cameras to help capture 3D pictures and video.

How to work Google Glass actually?

How to work Google Glass actually?

Do You know how the google glass actually works? 

Artist Martin Missfeldt, explains the wonders of technology behind Google Glass technology.

The most important part of the glass shades is a mini-projector that uses a semi-transparent prism to project the computer image directly onto your retina. Despite being super close to your peepers, the image is bright  & clear ,and because the image is slightly transparent, you can comfortably place it right in front of your eyes. So while there are still some challenges for Google to cater the glasses to people who wear prescription lenses, there's no trickery involved - just simple science.
