Google has been working on a Material Design refresh for Chrome across desktop and mobile in recent months, and elements of the redesign are starting to make their way to the stable version of the browser. Chrome 68, released recently, now includes parts of the Material Design refresh hidden behind settings flags in both the iOS and desktop versions. Chrome 68 for Android does not yet include the Material Design refresh changes. By default it is not enabled even if you're on the latest version. Here's how to turn it on: Navigate to chrome://flags/#top-chrome-md In “ UI Layout for the browser’s top chrome ” change the option from default to refresh Restart Chrome to see the changes

At WWDC today (June 4), Apple's Senior Vice President Craig Federighi revealed a lot of new Mac features, and a new name. Yes, macOS 11.14 Mojave is coming to users this fall. Highlights of this new, free update include a universal dark mode, a dynamic desktop, a Finder that photographers will love and a version of Safari with even more privacy-focused tools than before. Apple also improved screenshots in ways that iPhone and iPad users will find familiar. Oh, and Apple announced the baby steps its taking to bring iOS apps to the Mac, including four of its own titles -- Apple News, Stocks, Voice Memos and Home. Dark Mode This feature allows you to take all of the user interfaces in your Mac's apps, and turn them from bright to dark hues. Federighi said apps really pop against a white background, and while I'm inclined to believe him, I'm mostly happy to have a native feature that means my eyes will be hit with less bright light. Dynamic Desktop For th

Design flaws in processors from leading chipmakers could let attackers access sensitive information. How did this happen, and what's the fix? While the whole industry is scrambling on Spectre, Meltdown focused most of the spotlight on Intel and there is no shortage of outrage in Internet comments. Like many great discoveries, this one is obvious with the power of hindsight. So much so that the spectrum of reactions have spanned an extreme range. From “It’s so obvious, Intel engineers must be idiots” to “It’s so obvious, Intel engineers must have known! They kept it from us in a conspiracy with the NSA!” Source : Graz University of Technology/Natascha Eibl For those of you who don't know, this notorious exploit allows access to your operating system’s sacrosanct kernel memory because of how the processors handle “speculative execution,” which modern chips perform to increase performance. An attacker can exploit these CPU vulnerabilities to expose extremely sensitive da

Android Material Design So even after having just 3gb of RAM, iPhone 10 is very more faster than few Android flagship smartphones out in the market and it's not only because of Apple's 11 Bionic chipset but it's also because of booting time, app opening animation, multitasking, closing animation and the RAM management. Yes, I want to say iOS handles everything just perfectly and smoothly. The reason we hate iOS / Android is because we cannot customize it and iPhones are very more expensive than Android smartphones. Yeah we have variety of Android smartphones out there which we consider better than iPhones and actually they are but one cannot deny the fact that iPhones are very more smoother than most of the Android smartphones but that's going to change with Android 9.0 P. Google is saying enough is enough they will dominate iOS operating system with Android 9.0 by doing major interface changes and by major they literally mean major the last huge change we

As widely rumoured, Asus has introduced its 2018 flagship smartphone for the year, the Zenfone 5Z at the ongoing MWC 2018 conference at Barcelona, Spain. The handset comes alongside its less-powerful variant, the Zenfone 5 and the Zenfone 5 Lite . Zenfone 5Z with notch Sure, Apple didn’t have any sort of official presence at this year’s MWC, but this was the week the iPhone X really came into its own. The company’s premium flagship was everywhere in spirit, through the design choices from the competition. For some it was the mere legitimization of the notch — for others, the inspiration was a bit more unabashed. Asus Zenfone 5Z will be made available in Midnight Blue and Meteor Silver colour variant and has a completely new design as compared to its older series siblings. The smartphone boasts of a 6.2-inch FullHD+ IPS display with 19:9 aspect ratio, which is even more than that of the Galaxy S9. Interestingly it has a familiar iPhone X - like 'Notch' on top of th

Windows 10’s growth is on a roll, the flagship operating system is currently running on over 300 million PCs and devices worldwide, since its launch last year. With the accelerated growth, comes new opportunities, both good and bad. The latest example of the bad is a Product Activation Scam that some users are starting to see on their installations. The Windows 10 Activation Pro Scam is quite convincing. Since Microsoft has been aggressively pushing for everyone to upgrade to Windows 10, it can easily fool non-techy users. Scams Pretending to Be Windows 10 Product Activation Recently, a follower on Twitter sent a tweet asking me to confirm if a recent message on their computer about activating Windows 10 was a scam. After reviewing the image below, it turned out her hunch was right. Scams such as this are intelligently designed and engineered to appear genuine. Users will notice the graphics use the same colors and themes associated with the real Windows 10 update branding. M
