Nothing is free in life, or Google plans to cash in on Google Assistant

Google offers most of its services for free (unless you count in the amount of information it collects on you; if so, then it already earns enough), hence no wonder the company tries to find new ways to make profit. Rumour is that Google plans on making money with its Google Assistant. How? With, well, ads. cringes from all the booing* I know, I know! It sucks. Or at least sounds like it may suck. I mean, who likes ads? Advertisements are the bane of modern Internet and the idea of them encroaching into electronic appliance is very much frowned upon, and rightly so. All we can do is hope ...

Samsung rolls out a large Galaxy S8 maintenance update; connectivity issues fixed among other things

Update bundles together all the changes made in this month’s security release. Main host of fixes is directed towards the issue that Galaxy S8 has with Bluetooth connectivity, e.g. a glitch that made the user’s phone restart when attempting to control music playing through a wireless speaker.

My point is, Google is many things, almost all of them useful.Lets hope that its future function, that of a job-hunting application, will be a useful one.Job searching engine is said to be an upcoming ...
