Microsoft Finally Responds to Ongoing Privacy Concerns In Windows 10

The launch of Windows 10 has been an undeniable success for Microsoft.  The operating system addresses a number of the major concerns users had with Windows 8.1, has been praised for its performance and reliability, and to date it has already been installed on over 100 million systems. For a roll-out as big and important as Windows 10, Microsoft seems to have hit a number of right notes—for the most part.

LG V10 shows up in new leaked images with ticker display

This week is jam-packed with announcements. Now in the wake of Google’s Nexus event yesterday, we can turn our attention to LG’s event tomorrow, at which the company is expected to announce and release the LG V10. Rumors have pinned the V10 as having a secondary ticker display above the screen, but thanks to new images from @evleaks, we can now see the ticker display in action.

As you can see, the ticker display is just a little ribbon of display above the screen that will likely have a number of different uses. In the above image, we can see the ticker display holding shortcuts to a select few apps including the camera. In the featured image, we can see the same setup, as well as a second set-up that simply says, “Be you.”

While the ticker display is neat, we’re crossing our fingers that LG has bigger plans for it than simply holding app shortcuts. Nonetheless, the V10 looks like it’ll be a solid new offering from LG. It packs in a couple thin bezels and a rather rugged, yet attractive, plastic design. The camera module is decently sized and is paired with laser autofocus and a dual-LED flash, both good features to have. Below it is LG’s signature rear power/volume button combo.

We’ll keep you posted when official word arrives on the LG V10

Two Guys Made An RC Plane Out Of A Dead, Preserved Shark
This juvenile White tip reef shark was in an aquarium and unfortunately died of a bacterial infection. Most people’s first thought would not be “let’s turn it’s corpse into a plane!” but Arjen Beltman and Bart Jansen are not most people.

Nexus Protect de Google, un completo respaldo de garantía frente a daños accidentales

Google Nexus 5X 6P

El día de ayer fue realmente importante para todos y cada uno de los más seguidores de Google y su sistema operativo Android. En el propio evento de presentación, el gigante Mountain View nos sorprendió con cinco espléndidos y nuevos dispositivos que prácticamente al instante han hecho aparición en el Google Store y que en cuestión de días podemos hacernos con ellos.

Entre ellos hacemos mención a los nuevos Google Nexus 5X de LG y Nexus 6P de Huawei, dos terminales que han llegado con un programa de garantía extendida que se filtró días antes y que, desde ahora conocemos todos los detalles que vamos a repasar.

Nexus Protect, y despreocúpate de los daños accidentales

Como se trata de una garantía extendida que cualquier usuario de un Nexus 5X y Nexus 6P puede adquirir, Google nos ofrece un completo respaldo frente a daños accidentales, que cubre daños físico como caídas, fallos de hardware y software, hasta líquidos que puedan afectar al no incluir ningún tipo de certificación de protección IP.

Su uso y clara rivalidad al servicio Apple Care nos proporciona una ampliación de la garantía total de un año que es incluida hasta los dos años, un periodo aceptable dada la vida útil de un smartphone actual, con la ventaja de ser reemplazado por otro totalmente nuevo en un máximo de 24 horas en tu domicilio.

Nexus Protect

Obviamente no es gratuito –demasiado bonito para ser cierto–, pues tiene un coste de 69 dólares para el Google Nexus 5X y 89 dólares en el caso del Nexus 6P, distinto coste uno del otro dadas las características técnicas de ambos terminales y en parte aceptable.

La contrapartida es que, actualmente y sin más información oficial está disponible para los países iniciales como Estados Unidos, Reino Unido, Irlanda, Canadá y Japón, mismas regiones escogidas para la llegada de los dos terminales.

Por supuesto que llegará a nuestro país, pues al igual que ya existe página destacada para ambos en la Google Store, en la misma aunque aún sin información ya existe un enlace que nos lleva directamente, por lo que su lanzamiento es inminente.

Ahora solo queda esperar pacientemente el día señalado y ver si Google abre horizontes a otros dispositivos como el nuevo Chromecast y Pixel C.

¿Y tú que piensas? Pásate por Nexus Protect de Google, un completo respaldo de garantía frente a daños accidentales para dejar tu huella.
