‘Chromoting’ Remote Desktop App For iOS Also Being Developed

Chromoting Remote Desktop App For iOS Also Being Developed

Since last year Google has been building a remote desktop management application for Android called “Chromoting.” The app isn’t being publicly distributed right now, development is well underway. It appears that Google has plans of launching the app on IOS as well, this has been discovered recently through a post on the Chromium issue tracker. The Chromoting app will allow users to do what pretty much other remote desktop apps let users do, control their computers from a mobile device, like a tablet or a smartphone.

So far the features that the app is going to offer have not been revealed, but it appears that Chromoting is going to be a simple remote desktop app that simply lets users access their computers remotely, nothing too out of the ordinary. Given that the Android version has been in development for a long, long time, its would be a safe bet to say that it will be publicly released a lot earlier than the iOS version, which is said to be in early development right now. One major advantage that Chromoting will have over its rivals, without offering any significantly outstanding features, will be the price. As opposed to other remote desktop apps, Google’s Chromoting app for iOS and Android will cost absolutely nothing at all.

    Apple And Google Remove Plastic Surgery Game From Their App Stores

    Apple And Google Remove Plastic Surgery Game From Their App StoresThere are game which seem like a good idea at the start, but turn out to be extremely bad ones. Plastic Surgery for Barbie has to be one of them. As the name implies, this is a game about plastic surgery in which it targets young children to play as plastic surgeons. Well it seems that both Apple and Google thought it was a horrible idea for a game and has since pulled it from the iTunes App Store and Google Play store. Basically what the game was about was that it tasked players to perform plastic surgery on a female character, such as liposuction for example, and finally comparing the before and after results.

    According to the game’s description, “This unfortunate girl has so much extra weight that no diet can help her. In our clinic she can go through a surgery called liposuction that will make her slim and beautiful.” While Google did not comment on the specifics of why the app was pulled, they claimed that it breached their guidelines. Mattel too issued a statement claiming that the Barbie branding was not sanctioned by the company and that they will take action to prevent their brand from being used by products that might be unsafe or inappropriate for children. What do you guys think? Was this game a harmless one or do you think that it might have influenced young children negatively?
