Earlier this year, Google added quick action buttons in Gmail. They seem on messages inside the inbox, and permit users to do so on them without even having to open them. Initial examples included such things as checking in for flights, responding to event invites, reviews, confirming registrations, etc. Today, Google announced that it has added more sorts of quick actions. “For example, you are able to rate and review restaurants you ordered from on Seamless or even modify OpenTable reservations—all without opening an email,” writes Google’s Claudio Cherubino in a blog post. “And for the deal lovers in the market, you could conveniently save a promotion from Google Offers with one click, making it easy to seek out and purchase it when you’re ready.” “If you’re an avid uploader of YouTube and Vimeo videos, you could view finished uploads with a single click with the hot ‘View video’ button,” Cherubino adds. “Similarly, you also can speedily open a Dropbox folder or Google Docs, Sheets,...

Should Linux 4.0 Focus Only On Bug Fixes?
In a couple of year, we’ll be treated to Linux 4.0. It’s creator, Linus Torvalds, desires to know if it will focus exclusively on bug fixes and stability. PCWorld reports that Torvalds made the controversial suggestion during a Q&A session at LinuxCon Europe in October. He was asked by Intel’s Linux chief Dirk Honhdel if he thought the Linux development community should focus entirely on bug fixes in an upcoming release. In a blog post posted a couple of days ago, Torvalds revisits that query: “we’re attending to release numbers where i need to take off my socks to count that top again. I’m comfortable with 3 , but I don’t want us to get to the types of crazy numbers we had within the 2.x series, so in some unspecified time in the future we’re going to chop over from 3.x to 4.x, simply to keep the numbers small and simple to bear in mind. We’re not there yet, but i might actually like... Read More »
Amazon Mobile App Developers Now Have Access To Analytics, A/B Testing
Despite building Fire OS on top of Android, Amazon wants developers to select its platform over Android or iOS when building apps. During the last year, it’s become easier to recommend the platform as Amazon has leveraged the facility of AWS to provide quite a lot of services to developers which are typically hard to implement on their lonesome. Amazon announced today that it’s continuing so as to add value to its platform with the addition of analytics and A/B testing to all developers who make apps for the Amazon Appstore. Because the retailer notes, developers “who build their very own analytics and testing solutions are forced to spend time on building and scaling backend services.” By providing the services through AWS, Amazon says developers can come again to doing what they do best – building content. “Mobile developers really need to grasp how customers are using their app,” said Mike George, Vp of Amazon Appstore, Games and Cloud Drive. “We’ve spent years at Amazon...

Cloud Deployment Debate: Bake Or Bootstrap?
Several months ago, I said that Netflix’s push to drive the adoption of its open-source cloud-management toolkit, NetflixOSS, had the aptitude to “ruin cloud computing.” Portion of my argument revolved across the Netflix Aminator tool, which facilitates the creation of Amazon Machine Images (AMIs). While Aminator could be a good selection for Netflix, I argued that it encourages precisely the wrong habits for almost all of businesses attempting to deploy applications within the cloud. After many long discussions about that initial article, i feel there’s still significant confusion about how one should best use AMIs (or the equivalent from other public cloud providers), and so i’m dedicating this column to what I call “the baking debate.” Webcasts More >> White Papers More >> Reports More >> Let’s start with some background: Anyone who desires to use a public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) provider like Amazon Web Services (AWS) should use machine images. These machine images are what they sound like — a picture of a virtual server... Read More »
