‘Keep’ Gets Integrated Into Google Docs

Google has a bevy of apps and services that they’ve created, but it’s not always that they work with each other as sometimes these apps and services exist independent of one another. It used to be that way to Keep and Google Docs, but not anymore as Google has announced Keep integration into Google Docs.

According to Google, they have decided to make Keep part of its G Suite range of productivity apps. “Starting today, you can capture your ideas for work: Keep is now a part of G Suite. You can also take your ideas and notes from Keep and easily add them to Docs for easier brainstorming.”

Keep will of course continue to exist in its current form, but if you’re on the group and you constantly take notes using Keep, its integration with Google Docs means that it’ll be easy for you to pull up your ideas that you wrote within Google Docs itself and transfer them into your document. This is more efficient than having to remember to open the Keep app, unless this is something that you’re already used to.

It also works the other way in which you’ll be able to create new notes in Keep within Google Docs. All you have to do is highlight the text, right-click, and choose “Save to Keep notepad”, which will be handy if you want to highlight certain sections to research on later, or maybe some interesting topics you want to share with friends later, and so on. The integration should already be live and if you’re using Google Docs, you should be prompted, if not Keep can be easily accessed via the “Tools” menu.

Apple Patents iPhone Whose Display Acts As A Fingerprint Sensor

One of the rumors is saying that Apple could be ditching the home button with 2017’s iPhone. Instead in terms of security, Apple could be relying on a front-facing 3D laser scanner to scan the user’s face for a facial recognition system. This would be quite an upheaval over Touch ID which was only recently introduced to the MacBook Pro.

Now whether or not those rumors come true remains to be seen, but prior to that the favorite rumor was that Apple could embed the fingerprint sensor underneath the display of the iPhone, thus getting rid of the home button but maintaining biometric security anyway. Thanks to a recently discovered patent, it shows that Apple has considered such an implementation.

The patent describes how the fingerprint sensor could be hidden underneath the display so that in theory, what could happen is that the entire display could act as a fingerprint sensor meaning that you could pretty much touch anywhere on its display to authenticate yourself. The patent describes how this design would be more efficient than current systems.

This is because the authentication can be performed automatically during normal use of the device, as opposed to users having to shift their thumb/finger to a separate sensor which could be a disruptive process. Of course it’s hard to say if this is the system we can expect the 2017 iPhone to adopt, but it is clear that Apple has considered it as this isn’t the first time we’ve seen such a patent.
