Google Now On Tap

Google now on tap has been a great feature for android users and google is not backing down in making this feature better every day. While the concept behind the now on tap was pretty impressive, google has had a pretty hard time making this concept into an interesting app. In the last few days google has been rolling out all new set of features for the app making it more of a virtual assistant than of a contextual search engine.
Yesterday another great set of feature got an improvement the cards for Common Tasks and Nearby Places got new UI design. The functions are generally query shortcut for google app. Suppose like if you want to ask google to show you the nearby gas stations that is what the buttons in the “Places Nearby” card does. If you to tell Google to create a reminder, it will open the Search app's reminder flow. Same for alarms and timers.

Once the action flow is successfully completed the google app will take you to the related app for completion of the flow. For the navigation shortcuts it seems as they are handled as search queries.

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
