As you'd expect, the S4 will be getting an Android update, but to which version?

Google's ANDROID 5.0 lime Pie

Roumer Vs Reality

Until Android 4.4 was announced we had expected the Android 5.0 release date to be some time in October 2013. We instead saw Android 4.4 KitKatlaunch on 31 October and in the face of that point release, we think it's now likely that we'll see Android 5.0 shown in mid-2014, quite possibly at Google IO, Google's annual two-day developer conference in San Francisco.

That's a year on from when we had originally expected to see Android 5.0, which was at Google IO 2013, which took place from May 15 to May 17 2013. Given that Google announced Android 4.1 Jelly Bean at 2012's IO conference, it seemed reasonable to expect to see Android 5.0 at the 2013 event.

But on 13 May 2013, we got our confirmation that there would be no serving of Android 5 at Google IO from Sundar Pichai, Google's new head of Android. Pichai told Wired that 2013's IO is "not a time when we have much in the way of launches of new products or a new operating system". Boo! "Both on Android and Chrome, we're going to focus this IO on all the kinds of things we're doing for developers so that they can write better things," he added.

Android 5.0 phones

Rumors of a new Nexus handset started trickling in during the third quarter of 2012, as we reported on 1 October 2012. There was talk that this phone would be sporting Android 5.0 but the handset, which turned out to be the Google Nexus 4, arrived running Android Jelly Bean.

While the Nexus 4 didn't appear with Android 5.0, speculation that we reported on 21 January 2013 suggested that the Motorola X was the Android 5.0-toting handset that would be revealed at Google IO. The Moto X wasn't on show at IO and instead appeared in August 2013, running Android 4.2.2.

We also heard whispers that a new Nexus phone - the Google Nexus 5 - might be blessed with Android 5.0 but when Google officially announced the new handset, it was confirmed that it would arrive sporting Android 4.4 KitKat.

Androids out in force at Google IO 2012

And if rumors that we covered on 30 May were correct, then HTC would have brought us an Android 5.0-powered 'phablet' in the form of the HTC T6. But that device launched in October 2103 as the Android 4.3-poweredHTC One Max.

Android 5.0 tablets

The original Nexus 7 tablet was unveiled at Google IO 2012, so we thought it possible that we'd see a refreshed Nexus 7 2 at Google IO 2013. The speculation earlier in the year was that Google would team up with Asusfor this, as it did with the original Nexus 7. We expected an upgraded display on the new Nexus 7 tablet, while Digitimes reported that the 2nd generation Nexus 7 would have 3G service and range in price from $149 to $199.

The new Nexus 7 was a no-show at IO, but the Asus-built device was later launched by Google on 24 July 2013, albeit running Android 4.3 rather than 5.

Samsung's Android 5.0 upgrades

Although Samsung is yet to officially confirm its Android 5.0 schedule, a SamMobile source is claiming to know which phones and tablets will be getting the upgrade. According to the source, the devices set to receive the upgrade are the Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 8.0and Galaxy Note 10.1. Do note that this claim was made before Google announced Android 4.4, so if it was ever correct, it's probably a lot less correct now.

Android 5.0 features

For 24 hours, it seemed as though the first kinda, sorta confirmed feature for Android 5.0 was a Google Now widget, which briefly appeared in a screenshot on the company's support forum before being taken down. As it was so hurriedly pulled, many people assumed it was slated for the big five-o and accidentally revealed early.

As it happened, the following day, on 13 February 2013, the Google Now widget rolled out to Jelly Bean.

On 28 February 2013, we learned from Android Central that Google is working with the Linux 3.8 kernel, which gave rise to the notion that this kernel might power Android 5. One improvement that the 3.8 kernel brings is lowered RAM usage, which would mean a snappier phone with better multitasking.

On 13 June 2013, VR-Zone also claimed that Android 5.0 will be optimised to run on devices with as little as 512MB of RAM.

We're now expecting that Linux 3.8 kernel to show up in Android 4.4, given that Google's stated aim with KitKat is "to make an amazing Android experience available for everybody".

Android Geeks reported that Google Babble would debut on Android 5.0. Babble was the code name for Google's cross-platform service and app with the aim of unifying its various chat services which include Talk, Hangout, Voice, Messenger, Chat for Google Drive and Chat on Google+.

A screenshot that we were sent from a Google employee on 8 Aprilconfirmed that not only was this unified chat service on the way, but that it was called Google Babel not Babble. The service was to come with a bunch of new emoticons and Google+ built-in so you can jump from Babel chat to hangout. A leaked Google memo on 10 April provided a few more juicy details including talk of a new UI and synced conversations between mobile and desktop.

We've been fishing for info on Babel

On 10 May, we discovered that Babel would launch as Google Hangouts, and on 15 May we saw it come to life for devices running Android 2.3 and up. So much for it debuting on Android 5.

Following an 18 April tear-down of the Google Glass app MyGlass by Android Police, it looked as though there may be an iOS Games Center-like service coming to Android 5.0.

Android Police found references in the code to functionality that doesn't exist in Glass, which suggested that developers accidentally shipped the full suite of Google Play Services with the Android application package.

The files in the package contained references to real-time and turn-based multiplayer, in-game chat, achievements, leaderboards, invitations and game lobbies.

As expected, we found out more about Google Play Games at Google I/O, but it's not an Android 5.0 feature after all as it has been made available already.

Android 5.0 interface

While this is pure speculation, we're wondering whether Android 5.0 might bring with it a brighter interface, moving away from the Holo Dark themethat came with Android 4.0.

Google Now brought with it a clearer look with cleaner fonts, andscreenshots of Google Play 4.0 show Google's app market taking on similar design cues. Is this a hint at a brighter, airier look for Key Lime Pie?

Google Play is lightening up [image credit: DroidLife]

On 6 August 2013, we learned that Google had applied to patent a rather cool piece of functionality whereby an Android user would be able to launch different apps by drawing different patterns on the lock screen.

If this feature makes it into Android 5, we could be able to launch the camera app by drawing one pattern and Twitter by drawing another.

Facts about Microsoft

krishna_sri3@yahoo.com (Krishna.C) — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:26:00 +0000

“If you can’t make it good, at least make it look good.” ““ Bill Gates

The first Operation System Microsoft coded was Xenix, which was a version of UNIX under a different name. But it was MS-DOS made for IBM PCs that gave it a foothold in the software market.
The original name of MS DOS was 86-DOS Which was not build by Microsoft, they just made few alterations on that OS.
Bill Gates wrote a class scheduling program for his school. He tweaked the program’s code so that he was placed in classes with mostly female students

Microsoft fashioned the use of code names for under-development software and systems. For instance, Windows 7 was “˜Vienna’. Wikipedia has a complete list.
Did you know that you can’t create a folder named “˜con’ in Windows?
The first Windows virus was called Winver 1.4.
The name of its search engine “˜Bing’ has its origins in Bingo. Just like the game, it was meant to suggest that something looked for has been found or realized. “˜Bang’ was also proposed because it was memorable, short, and easy to spell. Finally, Bing was chosen for the same reasons.
Ironically, Microsoft’s Macintosh Business Unit is one of the largest developers of Macintosh software outside of Apple Inc. Also, Microsoft Office for Mac was introduced for Macintosh in 1989, a year before Office was released for Windows.

Facts About LinkedIn

krishna_sri3@yahoo.com (Krishna.C) — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 08:13:00 +0000

If you want to know more than you thought possible about LinkedIn, you should read its 132-page prospectus with the SEC. But who would want to troll through all that data?

Luckily, we have some nerds who love to do just that. We sliced some of the more interesting stats found within the professional networking site’s filing for an IPO and serve them to you in bite-sized nuggets.

Million Added Every Two Weeks. During the second half of 2010, LinkedIn’s
membership base grew, on average, by 1 million new membersevery ten days.

Metrics Rising. Registered users grew from 55 million at the end of 2009 to 90 million at the end of 2010. Page views grew from 2.8 billion to 5.5 billion.

Global Growth. By the end of 2010, 50% of members were located outside the U.S. LinkedIn’s international headquarters are located in Dublin, Ireland and they have offices in Canada, India, Australia, the Netherlands and the U.K. (For more on LinkedIn user demographics see this SlideShare presentation.)

Worth A Fortune. LinkedIn’s membership includes executives from every company listed on the 2010 Fortune 500.

Sales And Spending. LinkedIn is spending heavily on sales and marketing, and expects that to be it’s number one expense going forward in the near-term. Sales and marketing expenses grew by 118% in the first nine months of 2010. Headcount in that area grew by 179%.

Hiring Heights. Hiring solutions is the company’s top revenue-earner. For the first nine months of the year, LinkedIn’s net revenue increased 100% to $80.6 million. Hiring solutions – which includes its recruiting services, job posting services and several subscriptions services – represented 41% of net revenue.

Well Spread. No single customer has represented more than 5% of revenue for LinkedIn for the past three years.

Who’s Getting Paid. Co-Founder and big-time angel investor Reid Hoffman is the largest shareholder in the company with 21.4% percent of shares held. Other large shareholders include Sequoia Capital (18.9%), Greylock Partners (15.8%) and Bressemer Venture Partners (5.1%). Current CEO, Jeffrey Weiner, owns 4.1% of the company.

Crowd of Competitors. Along with the usual suspects such as Google, Facebook and Twitter, as well as Xing in Germany and Viadeo in France, LinkedIn considers CRM-provider Salesforce.com a competitor because of that company’s launch of Chatter and purchase of Jigsaw. Monster and CareerBuilder are other obvious competitors its lists.

Worried Workplaces. LinkedIn is concerned your employer might block access to the site or implement stringent policies about what you can and can’t post. That would mean less than up-to-date data. From the companies listed “risk factors”: “Enterprises or professional organizations, including governmental agencies, could block access to our website or the Internet generally…or they may adopt policies that prohibit listing the employers’ names on the employees’ LinkedIn profiles in order to minimize the risk that employees will be contacted and hired by other employers. These entities block or limit access to our website or adopt policies restricting our members from providing us with accurate and up-to-date information.”

These facts show where LinkedIn has been and a lot about its prospects for the future. How do you think LinkedIn will fare on the international stage and in the public markets?

Terrific Twitter Facts and Figures

krishna_sri3@yahoo.com (Krishna.C) — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 07:53:00 +0000

Those who follows my blogs and those who are in touch with me, may know that I always prefer TWITTER than all other social networking sites.Thus in this regard here is a piece of information on twitter.

Twitter has always suffered an image problem and is not usually taken very seriously by the general public. Its name doesn’t help with some people even saying that ‘Twitter is for twits’. Despite this glamor and brand problem this has not held back its growth after its humble origins and launch in 2006.
Since then Twitter has gained popularity worldwide and is
estimated to have 225 million users, generating 65 million tweets a day and handling over 800,000 search queries per day. It is sometimes described as the “SMS of the Internet” and its 140 character limit keeps the messages short and simple.
Its attraction as a social web media platform is maybe in its simplicity and real time messaging that enables breaking news and information to hit the web instantly without filters and censorship.

30 Terrific Twitter Facts and Figures

Twitter was created in March 2006 by Jack Dorsey and launched in July of that year.
Twitter’s origins lie in a “day long brainstorming session” that was held by board members of the podcasting company Odeo. While sitting in a park on a children’s slide and eating Mexican food, Dorsey introduced the idea of an individual using an SMS service to communicate with a small group.
The first Twitter prototype was used as an internal service for Odeo employees and the full version was introduced publicly on July 15, 2006
The original project code name for the service was ‘twttr‘, an idea that Williams later ascribed to Noah Glass, inspired by the name of the social media image website ‘Flickr’ and the five-character length of American SMS short codes.
The team finally settled on the name ‘twitter‘, which means ‘chirps from birds’ in essence ‘a short burst of inconsequential information’.
The tipping point for Twitter’s popularity was the 2007 South by Southwest (SXSW) festival. During the event, Twitter usage increased from 20,000 tweets per day to 60,000.
It had 400,000 tweets posted per quarter in 2007

In 2009 or 2 years ago Twitter had 8 million registered users
In 2011 there are now over 400 employees
75% of Twitter traffic comes from third-party applications
60% of all tweets come from third-party apps
There are over 100,000 Twitter applications

For example, Twitterers are three times more likely to be Creators (people who create and share content via blog posts and YouTube) as the general US population” (source Forrester report “Who Flocks to Twitter”)
3 years, 2 months and 1 day…the time it took from the first tweet to the billionth tweet.

14 Facts of Google

krishna_sri3@yahoo.com (Krishna.C) — Sun, 21 Oct 2012 12:31:00 +0000

#1

The prime reason the Google home page is so bare is due to the fact that the founders didn’t know HTML and just wanted a quick interface. In fact it was noted that the submit button was a long time coming and hitting the RETURN key was the only way to burst Google into life.

#2

Due to the sparseness of the homepage, in early user tests they noted people just sitting looking at the screen. After a minute of nothingness, the tester intervened and asked ‘Whats up?’ to which they replied “We are waiting for the rest of it”. To solve that particular problem the Google Copyright message was inserted to act as a crude end of page marker.

#3

One of the biggest leap in search usage came about when they introduced their much improved spell checker giving birth to the “Did you mean…” feature. This instantly doubled their traffic, but they had some interesting discussions on how best to place that information, as most people simply tuned that out. But they discovered the placement at the bottom of the results was the most effective area.

#4

The infamous “I feel lucky” is nearly never used. However, in trials it was found that removing it would somehow reduce the Google experience. Users wanted it kept. It was a comfort button.

#5

Orkut is very popular in Brazil. Orkut was the brainchild of a very intelligent Google engineer who was pretty much given free reign to run with it, without having to go through the normal Google UI procedures, hence the reason it doesn’t look or feel like a Google application. They are looking at improving Orkut to cope with the loads it places on the system.

#6

Google makes changes small-and-often. They will sometimes trial a particular feature with a set of users from a given network subnet; for example Excite@Home users often get to see new features. They aren’t told of this, just presented with the new UI and observed how they use it.

#7

Google has the largest network of translators in the world

#8

They use the 20% / 5% rules. If at least 20% of people use a feature, then it will be included. At least 5% of people need to use a particular search preference before it will make it into the ‘Advanced Preferences’.

#9

They have found in user testing, that a small number of people are very typical of the larger user base. They run labs continually and always monitoring how people use a page of results.

#10

The name ‘Google’ was an accident. A spelling mistake made by the original founders who thought they were going for ‘Googol’

#11

Gmail was used internally for nearly 2years prior to launch to the public. They discovered there was approximately 6 types of email users, and Gmail has been designed to accommodate these 6.

#12

They listen to feedback actively. Emailing Google isn’t emailing a blackhole.

#13

Employees are encouraged to use 20% of their time working on their own projects. Google News, Orkut are both examples of projects that grew from this working model.

#14

This wasn’t a technical talk so no information regarding any infrastructure was presented however they did note that they have a mantra of aiming to give back each page with in 500ms, rendered.
