Traditional updates and pictures from users’ friends will also be available in the app, but they will be kept separate from the news stories.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Facebook's new app curates news stories from old media in 'distraction free' format" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS0Ae7v8xzc_8-haQFgMWzL8MOdByMw2Hh7qoIjOtaUH34OLGzW3YQSzcFJtShyphenhyphenEyN-pghVUozgruMouT9XypNTwoEkm2S4bvr5isZPElZKw-7vUSdXQ2y7QoT7l9nAkd6AqFXV4a3b9-_/s640/paper.jpg" title="Facebook's new app curates news stories from old media in 'distraction free' format" width="640" /></span></div> <br /> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In terms of visual style and navigation, Paper appears very similar to news-curating app Flipboard. Users’ navigate through Paper with a series of swipes; going from left to right to flip through stories, and pulling up or down to expand or shrink content.<br /><br />Users can also tilt their phone to pan through panorama photos whilst small, context-rich ‘cards’ are used to compress stories. This latter concept is becoming increasingly common online, with both Twitter and Google Now using these small packages of information to break up the ‘firehose’ of information online.<span id="goog_1053838170"></span><span id="goog_1053838171"></span><br /><br />Paper is the first major step in Facebook’s ambitions to create “new and engaging types of mobile experience” in 2014,and some commentators believe that the app might even supplant Facebook’s current offering.<br /><br />Paper doesn’t offer quite as many features as the standalone version of Facebook, but plenty of other apps have won over users by offering them a single service as simply as possible. Complex navigation doesn’t always transfer well from PCs to mobile, and Paper looks to offer a stripped down approach to Facebook that could appeal to many.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Source: <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/facebook-launches-new-news-curation-app-named-paper-9096521.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook launch...</a></span></span></span></div>

Google used it to demonstrate that concepts like “cat” can be learned from unlabeled YouTube images, to improve speech recognition in the Google app by 25%, and to build image search in Google Photos.

Adobe’s Project Comet Is a Start-to-Finish UX Design App

The software-turned-creative-app company debuted it at this week’s annual Adobe MAX Conference, and from what we can tell, it looks like a godsend for UX designers.<br /><br />It’s early days for Project Comet, which will roll out in 2016, but it’s essentially a website- and app-building tool with WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) capabilities, so that designers can glide between wireframing, working on interface design, and prototyping, all in one digital place. Right now, that’s not what they’re doing. </span></span><br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <img alt="Adobe’s Project Comet Is a Start-to-Finish UX Design App" border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij4ttQiX4iLTPfSCAxjjnZFr3wBn4UqqFhY5ynwxn6q4cI9fFVZVFsL19yRK18A8b4ig1kdE-cWx5YWY9iLI2KBGVizoBP7WLEnOezU9_ifgD4312Ox6pJR7tw9770S1Zu-nn4F-SHjAHx/s640/adobe-comet-webredesignidea.blogspot.com.jpg" title="Adobe’s Project Comet Is a Start-to-Finish UX Design App" width="640" /></div> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />If you’ve ever designed an app or a web site, chances are good that you’ve had to make rows and columns of similarly constructed but still varied labels, images, avatars, text fields etc.<br /><br />Historically this is a problem that has been solved—imperfectly—through smart objects or symbols, and also tedious manual spacing and image placement on the part of the designer. Instead of merely following the prior art, the team asked itself if there was a better answer—what if they could make almost everything automatic? What if they could compress what can literally take dozens of steps down to just two or three?<br /> </span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Source: <a href="http://www.wired.com/2015/10/adobes-new-project-comet-start-finish-website-design-app/">Wired</a></span><br /> </span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Adobe’s answer is Repeat Grid, a feature built into Project Comet that lets designers create one set of elements—like a text and image box—and then copy it again and again, as needed. This condenses some of the repetitive and time-consuming work needed to build any basic site or app, freeing designers to experiment more, iterate more, and create more.</span></span></div>

Essentially, you’ll get access to loads of component options which allow you to build out your cards in any way you want; plus it works perfectly with Flex Box, if you chose to opt into that, as well as supporting the default grid mode.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span> <br /> <h2> </h2> <hr /> <h2> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Typography</span></span></h2> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Bootstrap 4 is replacing pixels with rems and ems in some places which will make responsive typography and component sizing much easier than before.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span> <br /> <pre><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><code class="language-html" data-lang="html"><span class="nt"><h1</span> <span class="na">class=</span><span class="s">"display-4"</span><span class="nt">></span>Display 4<span class="nt"></h1></span> <span class="nt"><h1</span> <span class="na">class=</span><span class="s">"display-3"</span><span class="nt">></span>Display 3<span class="nt"></h1></span> <span class="nt"><h1</span> <span class="na">class=</span><span class="s">"display-2"</span><span class="nt">></span>Display 2<span class="nt"></h1></span> <span class="nt"><h1</span> <span class="na">class=</span><span class="s">"display-1"</span><span class="nt">></span>Display 1<span class="nt"></h1></span></code></span></span></pre> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span> <br /> <h1 class="display-4"> </h1> <hr /> <h1 class="display-4"> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Internet Explorer 8</span></span></h1> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;">IE8 support is being dropped with Bootstrap 4, and for good reason.

Google Ups APK Limit on Google Play to 100MB

This doubles the previous 50MB limit, giving you the opportunity to speed up the install process for your customers.  </span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Google Ups APK Limit on Google Play to 100MB" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVH47LzE5hyphenhyphenWy4ePnPa22seBvPKDMnRFsNCG0w4ZyaR6_wiEjMKRPAcPM9owQlfypxvSCRH2ACp5xV_U6QC48CsU1O7zXh2zUOK51pUXK-3us_Xy2N7HF4tYm7S6NwF9LokbmOKuL5jzTu/s320/SQp-2bOc_400x400.jpeg" title="Google Ups APK Limit on Google Play to 100MB" width="320" /></span></div> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The change is largely a formality since the file size restriction is an artificial cap. The 50 MB limit was left over from the launch of the Android Market (later renamed to the Play Store).<br /><br />Back in 2012, Google added a workaround for developers that still required them to keep their app's apk below 50 MB, but allowed them to include up to two "expansion files" (i.e. obb files) that can be as large as 2 GB each. Executable code was to remain in the apk while the obb files were meant for extremely large resources like maps, audio, video, and whatever else couldn't realistically fit into the core app.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Google Ups APK Limit on Google Play to 100MB" border="0" height="262" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC0EMoeUDksppYuPPTb6cmWXusBzQxdxzZP3g2zz3t8L64T6yTj74M9y8dDm3V9XB4VHLXr0YEeaS4cGj4cWYJ4Df5JzvaZUf-etq-7kCn2uDZm1E3fqUDKqoyZF8w86I8INe-VmZTd6m5/s640/google-playstore.png" title="Google Ups APK Limit on Google Play to 100MB" width="640" /></span></div> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />With the new limit in place, developers can build their apps to the size they need to be, rather than cutting corners on resources or pushing a few megabytes of leftovers into expansion files. Keep in mind that this change won't really make apps any larger, it'll just make it less of a hassle for developers to package them. Google has been sending out apks that exceed the 50 MB limit for quite a while, like certain variants of the Chrome for Android web browser which can weigh in at about 70 MB. </span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span id="more-174914"></span></span></span></div>

PHP 7 also comes with new version of the Zend Engine, with features such as consistent 64-bit support, removal of old and unsupported SAPIs and extensions, and a combined comparison Operator (<=>).              </span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Let’s learn more about these PHP 7 features:</b></span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><b>1. The problem of Return Types would come to an end</b><br /><br />With the release of PHP 7, you’ll now be able to indicate appropriate return types on functions in the form displayed below:</span></span><br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">function foo(): array {<br /><br />return [];<br /><br />}</span></span></blockquote> <b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></b></span></span></b><br /> <hr /> </div> <div class="excerpt" style="text-align: left;"> <br /> <b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">2. <b>The all-new Combined Comparison Operator</b></span></span></b><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b> </span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Also known as the spaceship operator, the Combined Comparison Operator <=> serves as a brilliant addition to PHP. It works just like strcmp() or the version_compare() functions returning -1 in case the left operand is smaller than the right one, 1 in case the left is greater than the right one and 0 in case both are equal. One of the greatest advantages of Combined Comparison operator is that it can be conveniently used any two operands(floats, integers, arrays etc.) and not just the strings. Have a look at how the Combined Comparison Operator is used in sorting callbacks: </span></span><br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">// Pre Spacefaring^W PHP 7<br /><br />function order_func($x, $y) {<br /><br />return ($x < $y) ? -1 : (($x > $y) ? 1 : 0);<br /><br />}<br /><br /><br /><br />// Post PHP 7<br /><br />function order_func($x, $y) {<br /><br />return $x <=> $y;<br /><br />}</span></span></blockquote> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></b></b></span></span><br /> <hr /> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. Commendable performance improvements</b></span></span><br /> </div> <div class="excerpt"> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">With key changes being introduced as phpng, PHP 7 will have its performance raised by great bounds and leaps. A majority of smaller hosts would benefit from this increased performance and adopt PHP 7 without giving a second thought. It is expected that PHP 7 will have its performance at par with Facebook HHVM. The only exception being that PHP 7 won’t have a JIT(Just In Time) compiler. Additionally, this new PHP version would also have substantial memory savings.</span></span><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></b><br /> <hr /> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="excerpt" style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>4.

The all new extension API introduced with PHP 7 would be compatible with HHVM run-time as well.</span></span><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></b><br /> <hr /> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="excerpt" style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>5. Addition of Abstract Syntax Tree(AST)</b></span></span><br /> </div> <div class="excerpt" style="text-align: left;"> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As an attempt to bring in the must-needed userland consistency, the PHP web development community has planned to add Abstract Syntax Tree(AST) into the PHP version 7. Serving as an intermediate code representation tool, AST would allow you to eliminate some of the visible inconsistencies in addition to creating room for incredible tooling such as the usage of AST for creating absolutely stunning opcodes.</span></span><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></b><br /> <hr /> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="excerpt" style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>6. Introduction of Uniform Variable Syntax</b></span></span><br /> </div> <div class="excerpt" style="text-align: left;"> </div> <div class="excerpt"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Uniform Variable Syntax plays a pivotal role in solving multiple inconsistencies in the way different expressions are being evaluated. For instance, here is how you can call closures which are already assigned to properties with the help of.</span></span><br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">$object->closureProperty) ():<br /><br />class foo { static $bar = 'woo'; }<br /><br />class woo { static $bat = 'Features of PHP7'; }<br /><br />woo::$bat = function () { echo "Features of PHP7"; };<br /><br />$exp = 'foo';<br /><br />($exp::$bar::$bat)(); </span></span><br /> <br /></blockquote> </div> </div>

We have support from the overwhelming majority of our partners, with over 95 percent of YouTube watch-time covered by agreements, and more in the pipeline about to close.​” In July, when the company offered up a similar statement, it said it had signed up content owners that represented more than 90 percent of YouTube viewing.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here’s the text of the email YouTube sent content owners yesterday asking them to agree to new license terms:</span></span><br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">    For years, YouTube’s fans have been telling us they want more — more choice when watching their favorite content, more ways to support their favorite creators and, above all, the option to watch their favorite videos uninterrupted.<br /><br />    To give fans more choice we will be launching a new ads-free version of YouTube, available to fans for a monthly fee. This service will create a new source of revenue over time that supplements your advertising revenue. That’s why an overwhelming majority of our partners — representing over 95% of YouTube watchtime — have asked for and signed up for this service.<br /><br />    As you heard in our previous emails, we want to ensure that fans who choose to pay for an ads-free experience can watch all the same videos that are available on the ads-supported experience. That’s why we’re asking you to update your agreement to reflect the updated terms for the ads-free service.<br /><br />    To accept, simply log into YouTube.com as “pakafka” from a desktop or laptop and follow the prompts by October 22nd.<br /><br />    If you haven’t signed by that date, your videos will no longer be available for public display or monetization in the United States. That outcome would be a loss for YouTube, a loss for the thriving presence you’ve built on the platform, and above all, a loss for your fans. We remain committed to working with you, as we always have. And of course, at any time, you can accept the updated terms which will make your videos public and monetizable again. Common FAQs can be found here.<br /><br />    We believe these new terms will greatly strengthen our partnership for the future. We went through a similar process three years ago when we began distributing and monetizing your content on mobile devices. Today, mobile represents over half of all watchtime and mobile revenue is up 2x in just the last year. Just as with mobile, we’re confident this latest update will excite your fans and generate a previously untapped, additional source of revenue for you.<br /><br />    If you have questions or encounter technical difficulties, we’re here to help: reach out to us for support here.<br /><br />    The YouTube Team  </span></span></blockquote> </div>

Google Launches Cloud Dataproc, A Managed Spark And Hadoop Big Data Service

The new Google Cloud Dataproc service, which is now in beta, sits between managing the Spark data processing engine or Hadoop framework directly on virtual machines and a fully managed service like Cloud Dataflow, which lets you orchestrate your data pipelines on Google’s platform.</span></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Google Launches Cloud Dataproc, A Managed Spark And Hadoop Big Data Service" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy6nodYHK5oS-FkGmh3P-A2bQJyA0Lf2HBKgnflHQNk2H5_RUBgBFTOefF8XQOnU54qATbT3UxwtWySBxqhobiBM2jcPMWdw10eaGSWcg74R_Ra0Er40C9jWr2VtSetfDehpDWqLAA3lX8/s320/google-cloud.png" title="Google Launches Cloud Dataproc, A Managed Spark And Hadoop Big Data Service" width="320" /></span></span></div> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <br /><br />Dataproc users will be able to spin up a Hadoop cluster in under 90 seconds — significantly faster than other services — and Google will only charge 1 cent per virtual CPU/hour in the cluster. That’s on top of the usual cost of running virtual machines and data storage, but as DeMichillie noted, you can add Google’s cheaper preemptible instances to your cluster to save a bit on compute costs.

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <h2 class="r" style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">Mark Zuckerberg: Facebook working on a 'Dislike' button </span></h2> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">Coming soon to Facebook: a button that lets you express emotions beyond the iconic thumbs up.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">Founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg made the announcement Tuesday during a Q&A session streamed live online from Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif.</span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;"><img alt="Facebook working on 'dislike' button coming shortly" border="0" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYgyGF-zMMx86of0K1nnSnCv8oP0q5SW_IbiJIOrkcFH1hEdpRHlJAm6DN1hu-fnTJpj6XHCW5y6_rok_lCizn6WHfo84aQYTUQtBM8MRzbORTiclU_RgpD4G9PPhgOPCJeCnqME1SwNN7/s400/facebook-dislike-button.png" title="Facebook working on 'dislike' button coming shortly" width="400" /></span></div> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;"><b>Also Check: <a href="http://webredesignidea.blogspot.com/2015/09/iphones-can-now-send-middle-finger-ios-91-update.html">iPhones can now send middle finger emoji after iOS 9.1 beta update</a></b></span><br /> <hr /> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">The CEO said the company has been working on the feature—which would allow users to express emotions other than "like"—for some time because "we don't want to turn Facebook into a forum where people are voting up or down on people's posts."</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">Zuckerberg said Facebook is close to unveiling a button or buttons but it's unlikely to be called "dislike." What will likely happen is that Facebook unveils a "sympathize" button or a series of buttons that convey support or solidarity or express other similarly positive emotions. The giant social network encourages civil interactions among its 1.5 billion users.</span><br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <img alt="Facebook working on 'dislike' button coming shortly" border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO_qarsSBTDXnb-18fF72OPqdPd7hnT2oO0NgNvqoR_83TFIeJLF9XIleyjWVDf08evgUE3UDBIVu1GVYvhguCBvm3pnguqV8qkSWN7HHAJ1DVelWGa7uuegxRF30ZhW5T1TKkoTuWq66w/s640/GTY_mark_zuckerberg_facebook_sk_131031_16x9_992.jpg" title="Facebook working on 'dislike' button coming shortly" width="640" /></div> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">But don't expect the "dislike" button to work like the downvote button on sites such as Reddit. On Reddit, the upvote and downvote buttons are opposites: Upvoting gives the post more attention, while downvoting can consign it to oblivion.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;">By contrast, Facebook won't treat a "dislike" as a vote to stop showing the post to other users. Rather, it provides a better option in cases where friends and family paste bad news, like a death in the family or a natural disaster. "What they really want is the ability to express empathy," wrote Business Insider. "Not every moment is a good moment."</span></div>
