If you’re logged into your Google Account, the internet search giant will save a record of everything that you search for on Google.com. It doesn’t go away even if you clear your browser’s history. You had to go to the Google Account page and then delete the search history from the activity stream. It wasn’t easy and as clear as it should have been. The company is now fixing this by making it much easier to delete your Google search history.

All search history associated with a Google Account can now be deleted without having to leave the search engine. Users will be able to review and delete their recent Search activity and get access to the most relevant privacy controls within Search itself.

Quick access will now be provided to the privacy controls that are most relevant. Users will be able to control the ads they see when they search, for example, through Ad Settings. These changes have been rolled out today for Google.com on desktop and mobile web. The company says that its iOS and Android apps will be updated in the coming weeks with this as well.

The company adds that this will be expanded to Maps next year and that we can then expect it to be rolled out for many other Google products later.

Sony’s robot dogs have always been popular. The company has a new Aibo that is already out in Japan, so if you are interested in buying one, you might want to know what makes them tick. If so, here’s a gruesome teardown of an Aibo ERS-1000, courtesy of Japanese website Robot Start.

As you can see, this is a pretty complex pup, loaded with circuit boards, servo motors, and sensors. It is even equipped with 4G LTE and 802.11 b/g/n WiFi that connect to Sony’s servers for deep learning, and can download new behaviors automatically if you have a subscription.

Behind those cute robot puppy dog eyes you’ll find some square full color OLED screens. A pressure-sensitive capacitive touch sensor wraps around to the top of the head, as well as under its chin so it can react to your petting. The robomutt also has a fish-eye camera in its snout that can identify faces and help it navigate.

It’s pretty amazing seeing all that goes into these dogs, and we can only speculate that five years from now they could be a lot more lifelike with even more features. Be sure to head over to Robot Start to see the brutal step-by-step teardown.

The recently launched Razer Phone 2 is compatible on Verizon’s network, or at least that’s what its website claims. Heck, even Razer’s CEO announced on stage that the phone would play nicely with Verizon’s network, but yet there are some Razer Phone 2 owners who have run into trouble activating the handset on the carrier’s network.

According to users who have run into issues, this means that basic phone functions such as making phone calls or sending text messages when LTE are not possible, which is weird considering that the phone does have the necessary bands to support being used on Verizon’s network. According to Droid-Life, it seems that this could be a certification issue, although they were told by a Razer employee that the phone was supposed to have been certified already.

Razer has confirmed that they are aware of the issue and that they are working to get the issues fixed ASAP. However when exactly this problem will be resolved remains to be seen, but no doubt this is quite an inconvenience. In the meantime given that the handset is unlocked and plays nicely with GSM networks, maybe you might want to consider switching carriers, unless you can wait until the issue has been resolved.

We’re aware that Verizon is not enabled on the #RazerPhone 2 right now and are working to enable it ASAP—hang in there!

Razer Phone 2 is compatible with a variety of GSM, HSPA+ and LTE carriers. Find out more about the frequency bands supported: https://t.co/O5xIeVaxjB pic.twitter.com/brObzrwKgb

Razer Phone 2 Owners Are Having Issues Activating The Phone On Verizon , original content from Ubergizmo. Read our Copyrights and terms of use.

With their loud noises and hard plastic flanges, breast pumps are the bane of many a new mother’s existence. Founded in 2013, Naya Health is one of the most notable tech startups working on a better pump. But the company’s support site is now shutdown and it’s stopped updating its social media accounts. In a report today, CNBC spoke to several customers who said their pumps, which cost $1,000 and aren’t covered by insurance, had stopped working, and Naya Health had not provided them with adequate support or replacement parts.

While the Naya Health breast pump’s price tag is significantly more than most competing devices, customers were willing to give it a chance because of its unique flange design, which used silicone and water instead of plastic cups to recreate a nursing baby’s mouth.

Users have left a series of complaints on Naya Health’s Facebook page since May about performance issues, poor customer service, and long shipping times or non-delivery of pumps they ordered months ago. A Kickstarter campaign created for Naya Health’s smart baby bottle, which raised more than $100,000, is also filled with complaints about orders not being fulfilled (the last response from co-founder and CEO Janica Alvarez was posted six months ago).

Naya Health’s Facebook and Instagram accounts haven’t been updated since summer, even though users are still using them to post complaints, while its Twitter account has been set to protected mode. As CNBC noted, many customers have begun turning to the Better Business Bureau’s site to post complaints after saying their messages and calls to Naya Health went unanswered.

An email sent to Alvarez, who co-founded the company with her husband Jeffery Alvarez, Naya Health’s CTO, received an auto-reply. TechCrunch has also contacted Naya Health investors Tandem Capital and Bojiang Capital, the co-leads of its seed round, for comment. The company has raised $4.6 million in angel and seed funding, according to Crunchbase.
