Help a stranger return your lost Android device, place contact info on your lock screen

[​IMG]

If you’ve ever lost something, something important like a wallet or, say, a smartphone, there is nothing better than that feeling when a stranger calls you up and returns your lost property. In terms of a lost Android device, seeing your gear returned safely is much more likely if you help that stranger out a little bit. One of the best ways to do that is to place your contact info on your lock screen.

Now, we’re not suggesting you place anything critical on your lock screen, the purpose of which, after all, is to keep your data secure. But perhaps your name and a home phone number would be acceptable.

The process is actually pretty simple, fire up your system Settings, head on into the Security section and tap on Owner Info.

Now, tap the checkbox to turn on ‘Show owner info on lock screen‘ and fill in what you would like it to say. Myself, I choose not to put my name, inserting only the text “If found, please call ###-###-####” – with my real home phone number, of course.

Report: EU Parliament draft could call for Google’s breakup

[​IMG]

With the ever growing amount of lawsuits and antitrust investigations that Google faces on a regular basis, the company has likely become used to the notion that regulators and other corporations will do all they can to “even the playing field”. But this newest development is far more aggressive than any obstacle they have ever confronted, and is quite possibly the biggest threat the company has ever faced, as EU Parliament has drafted a resolution that entails a plan to break up Google.

Google’s dominance “dilemma”


Despite the many successes that Google is experiencing in the mobile market, the Mountain View company has certainly had it’s fair share of problems when it comes to their core product: search. Those problems have not, however, confronted Google due to being unsuccessful or losing dominance in search. On the contrary, Google’s massive success in search is in many ways the problem itself. A quick rundown of the December 2012 Comscore search engine market share (which came to light via GigaOm) highlights the dominance that Google has enjoyed globally:

  • Google: 114.7 billion searches, 65.2% share
  • Baidu: 14.5 billion searches, 8.2% share
  • Yahoo: 8.6 billion searches, 4.9% share
  • Yandex: 4.8 billion searches, 2.8% share
  • Microsoft: 4.5 billion searches, 2.5% share
  • Others: 28.7 billion searches, 16.3% share

A 2013 update of search engine data by Return on Now showed that the company wasn’t slowing down, with Google commanding 74% of the market share in the top 31 countries, with only a handful of countries with search engines being used more than Google:

  • ChinaBaidu (62% share) and newcomer 360 Search (21%), who jumped into 2nd place over the past two years
  • RussiaYandex (62% share)
  • South KoreaNaver (72% share) and Daum (18%)
  • JapanYahoo! Japan (53% share, but served up using Google’s back end)

Those numbers are certainly impressive, but have come with a price. Some companies argue that Google favors its own search results over others, and there are accusations that Google faces on how they handle user data.

All of these concerns have become increasingly voiced in Europe, with many corporations and users demanding that the government do something about the company (which, in the eyes of many, holds a monopoly on search). The recent development of an EU Parliament draft to break up the company, however, is one of the most aggressive assaults on the American company to date.

The draft


According to the Financial Times, a draft motion was seen that stated “the unbundling of search engines from other commercial services” should not be ruled out as a solution to Google’s dominance in search. The draft (which does not flat out say that Google is the company being referred to, but surely has implications for the worlds biggest search engine) currently has the backing of the European People’s Party and the Socialists, with German politicians leading the way on this very rare action within Parliament.

German telecom companies, media groups, politicians, and normal citizens have been very critical of Google. German politician Günther Oettinger has proposed levying Google for showing material that’s copyright protected, and has been very vocal in how he feels about Google software being present in cars. Google was also recently forced by the European Court of Justice to accept the “right to be forgotten”, which has also created problems for the company in the now five-year-old EU investigation into their practices.


Unbundling cannot be excluded

European acceptance of the draft


German MEP Andreas Schwab was quoted saying that “unbundling cannot be excluded”, and is a strong supporter of the draft. Spanish MEP Ramon Tremosa, who also supports the draft, stated that the proposed unbundling was necessary to consider as a possible long term solution due to the fact that they could not outright ask for the secret to how Google’s search algorithm functions.

European competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager went on to say that she would hear Google out (along with other complainants) before making a final decision.

Can Parliament legally break up Google?


The short answer to that question is no. European Parliament does not actually have the authority to disband or break up any company, especially when you consider that the company in question is an American corporation. That being said, the possible passing of the draft could have a very powerful effect on the European Commission, who does hold the power to enforce such a draft. This is clearly shown in the 2007 case that the EU Commission made, and won, against Microsoft for integrating Internet Explorer into the Windows operating system.

Google has not released an official statement, but reports have indicated that executives are “furious” after just finding out a few days ago about the draft.

Final thoughts


As an American that has lived in Germany for the past 12 years, I found this story especially interesting. Due to European history, especially when it comes to Germany, many are very skeptical of anything that resembles a monopoly or any entity that controls huge amounts of data. The political situation of the world also doesn’t help, especially when you consider the allegations of US agencies monitoring the phone calls of the German chancellor. Put it all together (Google’s search dominance, their handling of data, their firm grip on the mobile market), and what you have is plenty of firepower and resentment for many companies, and governments, to use against them.

That being said, is breaking the company up the solution? Google became dominant because they are a great search engine that many people enjoy using. Their products like Maps, Gmail, Search, and Android, became popular because they are good, free products. Google was by no means the first search engine, and they have fought, failed (on my products) and invested billions in becoming what they are today. Should the result of their success be their falling? Wouldn’t solid evidence need to be provided that they are manipulating search results before such a plan could even be realistically considered? Has Google simply become too big for its own good?

A text for the final text of the draft will be decided early next week, with an expected vote on Thursday, meaning we may not have to wait too long to find out what exactly this will mean for Google.

I’m very curious to hear the thoughts of our readers on this, so let us know how you feel about it in the comments below.

Huawei The Honor 4 Play review

huawei The Honor 4 Play REVIEW 

Range Honor will be another string to the bow of the Huawei brand with an aggressive pricing policy to meet a new trend in the Chinese smartphone.
Good news for you as well because we told you yesterday that the Honor brand will no longer be only for China but hopes to conquer Europe from October 28

Honor after the 6 tested yesterday we also learn that Honor will honor a small 4 Play positioned below 100 €.
4 and 4G Honor
The Honor 4 Play will be a notch below the 3C Honor Play and resume genes, but not the engine by replacing the MediaTek processor by Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 4x 64-bit 1.2 GHz and supports 4G (cat. 4) , 1Gb Ram + 8Gb of Roma, a 5 « screen HD, an 8mp camera + 2Mp with a 2000mAh battery.
A phone rather nice and full for those not seeking a little lightning with leatherette back and forcing Android 4.4 with overlay EmotionUI (not Emoticon) per 100 balls or 100 € HT in China for the Chinese in China.
And to think that the brand comes to Europe, it would mean you could see happen (one day soon) is countered your phone.

JBL Flip 2 review



When the JBL Flip was released, it was a near-instant hit from a company that, while they had a long history with audio, wasn’t exactly known for their wireless products. The Flip quickly became the standard by which other sub-$100 speakers were measured. Sure, the battery life wasn’t great, but the other features made up for it.

The JBL Flip 2 took everything great about the original Flip and made it better, while also improving on the faults of the original. For a speaker that you can literally fit in your pocket (as long as you’re not wearing skinny jeans) the sound is very impressive. While the cylindrical shape has become more common than it once was, the JBL Flip 2 is still fairly eye-catching, and though it isn’t as loud as our first pick, it still gets loud enough without distortion to keep a party going.

Chromebook shipments up by 67%, most sold in USA

Chromebook shipments up by 67%, most sold in USA



When the first Chromebook was released it raised an interesting question, “do I need a laptop which is web-centric and can’t install native applications?” I, like many others, was skeptical. However I eventually bought a Chromebook and for certain tasks I have found my Chromebook to be my preferred device when I am away from my PC. It looks like I am not the only one who has discovered just how useful Chromebooks can be! According to the latest quarterly data from ABI Research, Chromebook shipments increased by 67% during Q2 of 2014, when compared to Q1, and it is projected that the number of units shipped in 2014 will be double that of 2013.


Consumers are hungry for a product that is cost effective but also provides the versatility and functionality of a laptop.

Double growth in any industry is amazing, but even more so when you consider the slow sales of Chromebooks in 2012, as consumers wrestled with the “questionable need” for such devices. The top three Chromebook vendors are Acer, Samsung, and HP. Together they account for 74% of Chromebook shipments during the first half of 2014. Acer continues to maintain its lead, with a 37% market share, over the other vendors in the market, which also include Dell and Toshiba.



“Consumers are hungry for a product that is cost effective but also provides the versatility and functionality of a laptop,” commented ABI’s research analyst Stephanie Van Vactor. “The growth of the Chromebook market demonstrates a niche that is gaining traction among consumers.”

Chromebooks aren’t just about home-users, they are also selling well in vertical markets such as elementary education. What is interesting is that in emerging markets, like Asia-Pacific and Eastern Europe, Chromebooks aren’t a consumer choice, but rather a business choice. Business-purchasing entities account for 75% of Chromebook sales in such markets.

However the USA remains the biggest market for sales. ABI Research reckons that North America will account for 78% of the Chromebook market in 2014. By 2019 this will likely change with market growth in areas like Asia-Pacific and Western Europe.

Do you have a Chromebook? Would you recommend it to a friend or colleague?
