This update comes following a series of updates to Google’s other iOS applications and is one that’s been highly requested since the iPhone X’s release last month… With today’s update, Hangouts for iOS is no longer letterboxed on the iPhone X.

For years now, Google hasn’t seemed particularly interested in the tablet market, but yesterday the company announced that it’s working on what might be the company’s first real iPad alternative – a new Pixel tablet due for launch sometime next year. Apple getting some serious iPad competition could be just the thing we need to finally spur the company into taking iPadOS more seriously, and having the software catch up with the hardware …...

Get Out, Jordan Peele’s Oscar-winning directorial debut, had a fairly happy ending, but an alternate conclusion gives Chris a much worse fate. In early 2017, Peele burst onto the scene as a filmmaker with Get Out, a racially-charged horror tale about Chris (Daniel Kaluuya), a young black man who heads to a remote country estate to meet his white girlfriend’s parents. Of course, what starts as just an awkward weekend quickly turns into a nightmare, as Chris finds himself the target of a terrifying scheme that lets rich old white people mentally stow away in the bodies of healthy black people....

SonicWall says in an advisory that it “strongly urges” customers to apply new fixes to address eight flaws that the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) warns would allow a remote attacker to take control of an affected system. CISA recommends customers apply the necessary firmware updates “as soon as possible”, in part because they’ve historically been popular targets for attackers. The eight bugs range from critical to medium severity and affect a sensitive piece of the network since they provide employees with remote access to internal resources....

Giant-Man is front and center in the new images and poster for Ant-Man and The Wasp. Marvel Studios has taken plenty of so-called “risks” over the years that many thought would be the studio’s big failure, but Ant-Man once again bucked that notion. With Paul Rudd starring and some unique size-changing superhero action (along with a lower budget), Ant-Man took in over $500 million at the global box office. The movie’s financial and critical success gave Marvel enough confidence in the franchise to rearrange their Phase 3 slate to include an Ant-Man sequel....

Now that M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass has been in theaters for a few weeks, it’s safe to say the film was both a box office success and disappointment. Billed as the first proper “event” film of 2019, Glass arrived in theaters with much fanfare since it served as the long-gestating conclusion to Shyamalan’s Eastrail 177 trilogy. The unlikely franchise kicked off with the director’s 2000 film Unbreakable and surprisingly continued with 2017’s Split....

In September 2021, over 1 million GoDaddy customers suffered a data breach. Security researchers explained that the breach happened due to inadequate protection. According to GoDaddy’s statement, their WordPress Managed Hosting affected customers have had their passwords changed. However, changing passwords will not solve all the problems hackers left behind, which means that up to 1.2 million GoDaddy hosting customers may still be at risk. According to GoDaddy’s investigation, the attack started on September 6, 2021, and was only discovered two months later, on November 17, and GoDaddy notified the US Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) on November 22, 2021....

Google’s director of government affairs and public policy Lucinda Longcroft was repeatedly asked by the committee about YouTube displaying Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party (UAP) ads containing COVID-19 misinformation. At least nine UAP ads presented incomplete extracts of a Therapeutic Goods Administration’s (TGA) report on vaccinations to convey misleading COVID-19 information, according to committee deputy chair and Labor representative Tim Watts. Conceding the existence of these ads on YouTube, Longcroft told the committee that the platform’s COVID-19 misinformation policies are “robust, rapid, and effectively enforced” as it had issued one strike to the UAP for these ads, which removed the political party’s YouTube privileges for a week....

It’s topped by an expandable hamburger menu. To the right of the new column is the standard Gmail labels menu for access to Inbox, Starred, Snoozed and so forth....

In the official update announcement, Google stated this new change to their ranking algorithm would effect 11.8% of their overall searches. When they say 11.8%, it doesn’t sound like a big number –but in Google’s case, that 11.8% comes out to around 200 million of all searches performed daily that will be effected by the new algorithm. You remember the Chrome extension we talked about last week for blocking unwanted search results?...

It also shows how long you have left in your billing period and the range of dates that make up that billing period....

Google announced this morning they would be acquiring reCAPTCHA. This interesting acquisition makes a lot of sense. One of the original reasons (if not the original reason) for developing CAPTCHA was to ensure the person on your website or application was in fact human. BOTS would crawl through the internet and create posts and forum topics etc., to distribute SPAM and BOTS across sites. CAPTCHA would step in by displaying an image which only a human could decipher/respond to (usually), and then ask them to type in a word or several words to ensure they were HUMAN....
