Construction Company Claims iPads Saved Them $1.8 Million A Year

The concept of tablets aren’t exactly new, although to give Apple credit, they did reignite interest in the device with the launch of the iPad. In the past few years, we’ve seen how tablets have started to be adopted not just by consumers, but companies and even sports teams as well, and there is a good reason for it.

According to a report from Business Insider (via 9to5Mac), the head of construction company Rogers-O’Brien revealed that the company’s use of iPads has resulted in them saving as much as $1.8 million a year including 55,000 hours of reductions in working time. This is versus the previous method which involved the use of paper-based plans.

According to Todd Wayne, he claims that with the use of iPads, keeping each other updated on the latest plans was a piece of cake. Previously with the use of paper, there’d be multiple copies of a plan floating about, which in turn was inconvenient because changes made to one plan meant having to create newer copies to be distributed.

This also meant costs in terms of paper, printing, and also convenience as it was a lot simpler to just bring an iPad versus a stack of papers. That being said while this does highlight the potential of the iPad in businesses, we suppose this would have been achievable with just about any tablet that supports document sharing/cloud storage.

Google Now Lets Users Delete Search History That They Keep On You

Browsers keep a history of websites we view online as well as our downloads, but did you know that Google also stores a log of what you search for, browse, or view online? However the good news is that if you’d rather not Google have a log of those details online, then you’ll be pleased to learn that you’ll now be able to delete them.

This is part of Google’s compliance with the new European privacy regulations known as the General Data Protection Regulation. According to Google, “As part of our GDPR compliance efforts, we’ve improved both the controls and the clarity of information in My Account so that people are better informed about how and why their data is collected.”

All users have to do to delete these logs is head on over to their “My Activity” page and click the three dots on the side and press delete. Users can choose to delete items individually, or if they want to do it completely there will be an option on the left panel that says “Delete activity by” in which they can choose the dates they want deleted as well as from which Google product/service, such as Chrome, YouTube, search, maps, and more.

In addition to this, Google will also be giving users more control over location history, web and app activity, and more, so this is something worth taking a look at if you’re particularly concerned about your privacy.

Sony Clarifies They Are Not Profiting From Overwatch’s Pink Mercy Skin

We’ve seen from time to time how companies come up with new seasonal products meant to help raise awareness or money for a charity or cause. Such is the case with Blizzard’s Overwatch where they released a pink skin for the Mercy hero to help raise money for breast cancer research.

However Sony has come under fire for it over the belief that the company might be profiting from the sales of the skin, which the company has since denied. In a statement made to VG247, the company writes, “We are not making any profit from sales of the Overwatch Pink Mercy Skin.”

For those wondering where the controversy is stemming from, basically on the Xbox One, the wording of the description of the skin reads, “Blizzard Entertainment will donate 100% of the purchase price for your purchase of the Pink Mercy skin on Xbox.” This is versus Sony’s description which reads, “Blizzard Entertainment will donate 100% of the proceeds that it receives from Sony PlayStation.”

Basically Sony’s version sounds like they are taking a cut from sales of the skin and whatever is left will be going to Blizzard. We suppose it could be easily mistaken as such, although an alternative reading could be that Sony simply collects money on behalf of Blizzard. In any case Sony seems to be denying the allegations that they are profiting from the skin, so we guess we’ll have to take their word for it for now.
