This return to business is largely because of the acquisition of Newton parent company CloudMagic by the company called Essential. This is the same company that … Continue reading
Some parents get their kids smartwatches to buy themselves a little peace of mind about their child’s safety. But as it turns out, these devices are a total privacy nightmare.

Taika Waititi, who directed Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok, won’t be in the director’s chair for Guardians of the Galaxy 3. He has himself confirmed that the project, which has been on hold since its director James Gunn was fired, will not see him behind the camera. He referred to it as “James’ film.”
His statement comes amid rumors that he was a leading candidate to replace Gunn on the project. Disney and Marvel Studios fired James Gunn back in July last year after some offensive tweets resurfaced. The movie’s cast did try to get Marvel and Disney to reconsider but they didn’t budge.
Waititi commented on the matter at the Television Critics Association today, saying that he wouldn’t feel right taking over a movie that had evidently been Gunn’s from start to finish. “Going into something like that, which has got his stamp all over it, it would feel like going into someone’s house and saying, ‘Hey, I’m your new dad,’” Waititi said.
While it’s clear that Guardians of the Galaxy 3 isn’t dead yet, fans will have to wait for a considerable time before the movie hits the big screen as it has already been delayed from the previously announced schedule. Gunn, in the meantime, is reportedly going to write and direct Suicide Squad 2.

A lot of us probably taking our hearing for granted, but for those who might have their hearing impaired, they might face a lot of challenges in day to day situations. This is why Google has since launched a new tool for Android called Live Transcribe that is aimed at empowering its users who might be hard of hearing.
According to Google’s announcement, “Today, we’re announcing Live Transcribe, a free Android service that makes real-world conversations more accessible by bringing the power of automatic captioning into everyday, conversational use. Powered by Google Cloud, Live Transcribe captions conversations in real-time, supporting over 70 languages and more than 80% of the world’s population.”
From what we can tell, the tool seems similar in its transcription feature to other Google apps that supports voice input, where as you speak the words are transcribed so you can see the sentence as it builds, versus waiting until the end where it might be wrong. This will come in handy for those hard of hearing as they will also be able to get the gist of what the person is saying, and the live transcription is much quicker compared to typing back and forth.
The Live Transcribe app is available for download via Google Play, but it seems that it is still in development so what you see now might not be the final version and that there could be bugs due to it being incomplete.
