Android Oreo

Android Oreo is a new Android Version of Android family, launched on 21/Aug/2017 in USA.
Android Oreo is the eighth major version of the Android Mobile Operating System. It was first released as an Alpha Quality developer preview on March 21, 2017. Android 8.0 Oreo is as comprehensive a version of Android as there has ever been, and it is as stable, feature-rich and functional as ever.High performance Bluetooth audio was one of the first Oreo features to capture the attention of the Android masses.Bluetooth 5 support is another well-publicized feature of Android 8.0.One of the least touted features of Android Vitals is faster boot times. On the Pixel the boot up process is noticeably faster – twice as fast in fact. Android Oreo also introduces an improved Ambient Display. The familiar time and notification icons still ‘breathe’ on screen when you lift your device up, but now you’ll get larger notifications when a notification first comes in. Sadly, the ability to customize the lock screen shortcuts, present in the first developer preview, didn’t make it in the final build.Another big change is the improvement of keyboard navigation. According to Google, more users are navigating to apps using a physical keyboard thanks to the arrival of the Play Store on the Google Chrome OS.The other Versions of Android are:
1.Nougat
2.Marshmallow
3.Lollipop
4.Kit Kat
5.Jelly Bean
6.Ice Cream Sandwich. etc.

North Korea ‘hacking Bitcoin exchanges to steal money’ as Kim builds 'criminal enterprise'

Bithumb was hacked in February, although the breach was not noticed until June, and it was only made public in July. At the time one customer claimed more than a million dollars’ worth of digital currency was stolen. Claire Finkelstein, a national security expert and faculty director at the University of Pennsylvania’s Centre for Ethics and the Rule of Law told Buzzfeed News: “This is very consistent with what I would expect North Korea to be doing.” Luke McNamara, a senior analyst with FireEye, also said: “I see there being two macro drivers of this threat activity.” According to Mr McNamara, the first driver was the tightening of sanctions on North Korea's economy. But he added: “You also have cryptocurrencies appreciating significantly since the beginning of the year. So you see cryptocurrency exchanges, particularly in South Korea, becoming a logical target.” Ms Finkelstein warned that Bitcoin is a “high-risk currency” because it can be “easily manipulated” maki...

Lawsuit accuses Google of bias against women in pay, promotions

Three female former employees of Alphabet Inc's Google filed a lawsuit on Thursday accusing the tech company of discriminating against women in pay and promotions. The proposed class action lawsuit, filed in California state court in San Francisco, comes as Google faces an investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor into sex bias in pay practices. The lawsuit appears to be the first to make class action sex bias claims against Google, but is only the latest instance of a major tech company being accused of discriminating against women. The Department of Labor sued Oracle America Inc in January, claiming it paid white men more than women and minorities with similar jobs. Microsoft Corp and Twitter Inc are facing sex bias lawsuits, and Qualcomm Inc last year settled claims for $19.5 million. Meanwhile, Uber Technologies Inc in June said it would make a series of changes after a former engineer in a blog post accused the ride-hailing service of condoning ra...

IBM makes breakthrough in race to commercialise quantum computers.

Researchers at International Business Machines Corp have developed a new approach for simulating molecules on a quantum computer.  The breakthrough, outlined in a research paper to be published in the scientific journal Nature on Sept 14, uses a technique that could eventually allow quantum computers to solve difficult problems in chemistry and electro-magnetism that cannot be solved by even the most powerful supercomputers today.  In the experiments described in the paper, IBM researchers used a quantum computer to derive the lowest energy state of a molecule of beryllium hydride. Knowing the energy state of a molecule is a key to understanding chemical reactions.  In the case of beryllium hydride, a supercomputer can solve this problem, but the standard techniques for doing so cannot be used for large molecules because the number of variables exceeds the computational power of even these machines.  The...
