Bunch Of Updates By Google For YouTube, Hangouts, Play Music


Its been almost more than a week since, Google has come up with some updates. And now it has come up with some major updates, that too for YouTube, Google Play Music and Hangouts. Lets see what these updates are:


First we'll start with YouTube, new update comes in with version 5.9.0.10 from 5.7. And about the update, today's' update brings a few new tricks to the table. Given the rather large version number jump, one would expect a major increase in user-facing features. This, however, is unfortunately not the case. That said, there are tweaks to Playlist handling, including a new “View All” playlists button in the “hamburger” slide-out menu that takes you to all of your playlists. Once there (or anywhere else with a playlist), you can now click on the three button context menu for that playlist and either save or share it.




And next what we have is the Google Play Music and the update comes in with version 5.6.1616P.1323377 from version 5.5. This one is a much bigger than update than YouTube bringing changes for user interface. The version also brings major changes to the application’s widgets. There’s a new 1×1 “I’m Feeling Lucky” widget that corresponds with the music player app’s similarly named option. In addition, there is a new 3×1 widget with a cleaner and more aesthetically appealing color scheme, which can also be resized to 4×4 to display album art in addition to controls. Finally, the Download Queue area has been renamed to Manage Downloads, and it displays your free storage space in the top.




And last we have a minor update for Google Hangouts, which comes in with version 2.1.317 from 2.1.311 which came two months ago. This is very much unlike the first two, this appears to be a minor bug fix release. And no user visible changes are found.

HP Looking To Sell WebOS Mobile Patents : Bloomerg

News just came in that Hewlett-Packard Co. could be making a further break from its web OS past. As per Bloomerg the company is looking to sell part of its mobile patent portfolio. Anonymous sources say HP has removed some conditions that would make the patents less attractive and is now approaching potential buyers about taking on the intellectual property from, among other things, its web OS mobile platform. HP acquired webOS in 2010 when it bought Palm, and the operating system was used on the Palm Pre phone and HP TouchPad tablet, among other devices. But HP's mobile division ultimately floundered; the company made web OS an open source platform, then sold the code off to LG in February of 2013. Hewlett-Packard, the world’s second-largest maker of personal computers, is trying to recover from several years of management turmoil, declining sales and profit and a balance sheet damaged by bad acquisitions.
