Is Google Keen the New Rival to Pinterest?

Approximately every year, Google launches several social networking services, and sometimes the general public also doesn’t get to know about the launch of these services. In 2011, Google launched Google Plus, which created lots of hype, but unfortunately, it closed down in 2019. In June 2020, the company quietly revealed that they are working on some of the largest social networking projects.

Sources :- Google Keen the New Rival to Pinterest

What Is Google Keen?

Initially, CJ Adams revealed the company is working on a project named Google Keen. He stated that the idea of the project came when his wife wanted to share links and information about her hobby. Adams planned to work on this project along with three members of Google. Their main objective is to create a platform from which you can share information and sources easier.

These four members worked on the Keen as the official project in Google’s experimental division. They have tried to collaborate with the people and AI research team or PAIR. It is a system that is based on learning to help several people who will use this software.

Platforms Are Available With Google Keen

Currently, you can use this service on a web application at Staykeen.com. Android users can use this service from an Application named Web wrapper.

Google Keen Is Free Or Not?

There is no doubt that you can use this app for free. But for using this feature, you need to have a free Google account. If you don’t have any, then you can create one.

How Google Keen Works?

You might find this service similar to the Pinterest service. After signing up with your Google Account, you can start working. You just have to type a title there. For instance, you may be interested in “The original Star Trek TV show.” For that purpose, you need to type “The Original Star Trek TV show” on the Web and Application. After that, you have to tap on the box that you will see on the bottom right corner.

A new display will open in front of you that shows a series of Google search-related web links just based on your title. Just tap on the link that you want to open and again tap on the box that occurred in the bottom right corner.

Then you will see a new Keen page. When you click on it, you will be redirected to the main page. You will find that there are three tabs on your Keen page. The first tab is an explorer, where you will see the links related to the subjects that appeared due to the Google search. There is another or second tab that is known as the Gems. You just have to tap or click on the gems icon to save your articles. And finally, there is a third or search tab that allows you to add and search for more topics on the Google Keen page

There is an option from which you can add or remove photos, links, and texts manually to your Keen page through the add button. With the add button’s help, you can add more or search more new sections to your Keen page. You can also see an edit button that allows you to add more individuals to your page. For sharing, there is a share button that can allow you to send the link from the Keen page to anyone or invite anyone to access or modify your page.

It uses a machine-learning process that can give you suggestions for links and content for the page regularly.

Success Rate Of Google Keen

Currently, they are also working on this project to make it more successful. Many projects of the company’s Area 120 shut down, but some features from their projects became part of their other products or services. That’s why it is extremely interesting to watch the performance of this service. The company is working hard for the success of this project. Let’s see the performance of the service and how people will react to this service.

Facebook’s VR Headset Prototype Looks Like a Pair of Cool Sunglasses

Researchers are trying to make a comfortable and good-looking VR headset. As per reports, Facebook is researching holographic optics design that can slim down the present VR headsets, which are bulky and heavy weight. There were rumors in May 2020 that Facebook is working on making the slimmest Quest VR headset. One thing is confirmed that Facebook’s VR Headset Prototype is much lighter and smaller, which is a good thing.

In Siggraph 2020, a technical paper, Facebook has discussed their research on how holographic optics can make thin and lightweight virtual reality headsets. They have talked about their experiment in detail in that paper.

Basically, it is a type of design in which thin layers of holographic films combine with each other to make a VR headset or display. Most probably, the size of the display of VR is similar to most of today’s smartphones (9mm to 11mm). The initial design of the VR uses a laser projection system that you have seen in your classroom projectors. There are additional backlights on the VR that can give a better viewing experience to the users.

The glasses of the all-new VR have a resolution of 1,200*1,600 pixels and have a view of the field of 93-degree in the circle and 92*69 degrees in the rectangle. The resolution and the field of view are good and offer a clearer view. Even with these features, the all-new VR weighs 10 grams.

There is more research and amendments that are required to get the best VR, but the new design by Facebook is quite convincing. Most of the VR displays make use of the refractive lens and have a curved piece of glass or plastic that makes those VR headsets bulky and thick. But there should be a proper distance between glass and eyes for obtaining the precise image on the lens of the VR. Instead of moving the light directly to the conventional lens, a holographic lens is part of the all-new Facebook’s VR. The holographic lens can bounce the lights on the display panel, which works like other VR headsets.

Facebook says that they are currently working to achieve other color variants with their VR prototypes. It is carefully working on their research to provide a lighter and smaller VR, and they also hold the promise for changing the viewer experience from VR headsets. If you want more specific detail about the VR and its research, then you can read it on their official website. If these VR headsets become available in the markets, then it might be an expensive option especially in the beginning. However, after sometime, these headsets will become cheaper, which will be a great option.

Sometimes, other photos or folders also get counted in this list.

Officially Google stated that they have paused this feature for some time because, in this pandemic, people need faster and more internet for their work. This step will help them in performing their task from the internet for their office purpose.

At the top, you will find a folder that you have selected for the backup. There you will see a “Back up & Sync” option. You should enable that feature. After this, Google Photos will back up everything automatically that will enter in that folder.

You can repeat these steps if you want to back up another folder in Google Photos. You can backup photos coming from all popular social media platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, and many more.

Review of Microsoft Surface Book 3: Big Specs for Big Price

If you keep a couple of USB port changes aside, you might not be able to differentiate between the Microsoft Surface Book 3 and its predecessors. Both look identical, in terms of keyboard, chassis color, and other hardware as well. Some internal features make this laptop different from their other products. It has a 1065G7 Intel Core i7 processor and GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q Nvidia graphics card, which is sufficient for you to perform all the daily tasks and play some games. It is one of the finest systems, but it is a little bit pricey, so it might scare off the price sensitive buyers.

Sources :- Microsoft Surface Book 3

The major selling points of the Surface Book is the seamless functioning as a laptop and tablet both. If you have a tablet and hate writing on them, then you may need to spend around $100 on purchasing a separate keyboard. But you don’t need to worry about the Surface Book 3 as it comes with a keyboard that can allow you to type as fast as you can. If you want a keyboard, then you might not mind paying extra than the price of a tablet.

There are two versions of Surface Book 3, i.e., 13.5 and 15-inch versions. The 15-inch version offers a 3240 x 2160 display, with 260 PPI, and is selling with a price tag of $2,300. With a 13.5-inches version, you will get a 3000 x 2000 resolution display and a slightly larger 267PPI in just $1,600. The larger screen may give you a larger area to access the in-display keyboard and perform other tasks on the screen.

If you don’t want a physical keyboard, then you can disconnect the keyboard base easily. You can do it by pushing a button located on the top-right corner of the keyboard. You will hear a click sound, and a notification will pop-up on your screen that tells you that it’s safe to remove the keyboard from the device.

The Surface Book 3 is not just a simple tab or laptop. You can also use it as the digital notebook as well, and for accessing this feature, you might need to buy a pen separately that would cost you around $100.

Due to its specs, you can also use it for gaming, but playing games on Surface Book 3 is quite strange because of its screen ratio. The gaming screen has a 16:9 ratio, but the ratio of the Surface 3 is 3:2, which is similar to its previous versions.

The device offers 1080 pixels and a 60 frame per second, which is sufficient to play games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Far Cry 5. If the game demands more pixels, then the frame per second drops, which is not at all a surprising element. For gaming, you might need the GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q Graphics processing unit that comes with Surface Book 3. Intel Core i7-1065G7 processor is good, but for gaming, you need a better processor for CPU intensive games.

If you like the versatility and the improved battery life of the Surface Book 3, then you can go for this product. The Surface Book 3 offers 11 hours of long battery life, which is damn good. It makes it worth spending extra 100 bucks for these features.

Bottomline

Surface Book 3 is one of the best for the light gaming and light creativity. If you are looking for a device that can give higher gaming performance and perform serious video editing projects, then you should look for the other laptops with higher GPU. If you don’t need a bigger laptop with average performance, then a 13.5-inches version Surface Book 3 will be a great option for you. It is a less-expensive model that can give you a decent performance.

Have you ever wondered what an APK is, and how do you install one? If yes, then you have come to the right place. In this article, you are about to learn what it is and how to install it if you have downloaded one on your device.

What is an APK File ?

It is far easier to install APK on an Android than installing an .exe file on Windows. Within a few taps, you can get your APK installed on your tablet or phone.

Whenever you download an APK file from the web, you are literally downloading the app. Most of the time, you use Google Play Store to download and install Android apps, but sometimes you may need an APK file to install a specific Android application.

These APK files are most commonly provided by the individual small Android development companies or individuals. You can also use the APKs to install apps if you are unable to download apps directly from Google Play Store.

In case you wish to download an app that is no longer available on Google Play Store due to some reasons, you will surely find it on the internet. However, instead of installing it automatically, you will get an APK version of the app. You have to manually install it on your device in order to use it.

Due to some reasons, Google Play Store doesn’t allow several apps to be listed on its collection that could be very useful for you. Gladly, there are tons of third-party websites where you can download these apps for free in the APK format.

How to Install APK on Your Android Tablet or Smartphone

Follow the steps listed below to promptly download and install APKs on your device:

First and foremost, find the app that you wish to download on Google Search.
Once you have found a reliable source for downloading it, navigate it to the app’s download link.
Wait for the APK file to download completely. It might take a while to download the app if it is a little large.
Once the APK is downloaded, find it in the File Manager.
Check the Downloads folder in the internal storage or in the SD card for the file to locate it.
Once you have found it in the file manager of your android device, open it by tapping once.
Now follow the prompts to continue.
Finally, hit the Install button to initiate the installation of the APK file.
Once the installation is complete, close the installation wizard.
Now find the app in the apps menu on your device.

This is how you can install an APK file to your Android phone or tablet within no time. Always be very careful while downloading and installing APK from the internet because it could potentially be infected with viruses that can damage your device or its data.
