Chromebook + Android Apps is it really ready

Android Apps - Chromebook

As we all know that google has recently launched the feature to use android apps in Asus Chromebook Flip. Most of the users like me and probably you out there have been waiting for this feature for a long time but is it really ready for the mainstream use. Google has made it possible to use around 1.5 million and plus apps to run on chrome OS and yes you can use many of them if not all but let’s first talk about if it really worth the try.
Installing the apps ant using them on chrome OS is simple procedure and most probably the support for the devices will be expanded by the end of this summer. During the test run of the apps on my Chromebook some were pretty flawless while some of them were not able to perform as well. The only bad news till now is that the only device that supports this new feature is Asus Chromebook Flip in the next few weeks the support for the device may most probably include the 2015 Chromebook Pixel and Acer Chromebook R11 not any official announcements but let’s hope.
Here comes a bad news for the guys using Chromebooks model which older than two years. For those guys who have the most recent version of the Chromebook The feature will be coming to them pretty soon, but as for the guys who have older version of the Chromebook there is no announcement that if their device will be getting this feature but don’t worry in next few days google is going to release a list of device which will be able to run android apps.
The apps that require special hardware to perform their task will not be working on the Chromebook like the apps that require carrier services to send SMS and apps that require GPS for the location based services or the apps that require rear camera.

Hack WPA/WPA2 WPS Wifi Hack

When it was known that a WEP network could be hacked by any kid with a laptop and a network connection (using easy peasy tutorials like those on our blog), the security guys did succeed in making a much more robust security measure WPA/WPA2. Now hacking WPA/WPA2 is a very tedious job in most cases. A dictionary attack may take days, and still might not succeed. Also, good dictionaries are huge. An exhaustive bruteforce including all the alphabets (uppercase lowercase) and numbers, may take years, depending on password length. Rainbow tables are known to speed things up, by completing a part of the guessing job beforehand, but the output rainbow table that needs to be downloaded from the net is disastrously large (can be 100s of GBs sometimes). And finally the security folks were at peace. But it was not over yet, as the new WPA technology was not at all easy for the users to configure. With this in mind, a new security measure was introduced to compliment WPA. Wifi Protected Set

Although the full specification of the speaker is not yet known it is expected to have less features being the affordable one than the pricier one i.e. the Galaxy Home Smart Speakers. This could most likely be their strategy as the Galaxy Home Speaker may compete with the Apple HomePod which cost somewhere around 349 USD but for Samsung to compete with more affordable speakers available in the market like Google Home and Amazon Echo which are available at less than 200 USD or so they had to take this approach. Even though the launch Is not yet confirmed, for Samsung to be able to compete in this niche they will have to focus on the potential customers who opt for more affordable kind of appro
