<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It should be noted that the company has already donated more than $1 million to help the charitable organizations in their relief efforts. With its new initiative, Google aims to encourage the users to donate more and ultimately raise $11 million. The four nonprofit organizations that will get this money are:  Save the Children, U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, the International Rescue Committee, Save the Children, and Doctors Without Borders.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Recently, at Salesforce’s annual Dreamforce conference, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella used an iPhone onstage and gave a demonstration of Microsoft’s cross-platform mobile apps. Using the iPhone, Satya Nadella said, “I’m going to first start on this iPhone, and it’s not my phone, but it is an iPhone,” and everyone chuckled.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Further, Nadella showed that the iPhone he was holding in his hand, had all the Office apps and Skype from Microsoft, and thus it makes the iPhone a “pro” device. Showing off the Outlook app, Nadella said that Outlook is an email client, but it’s the best email client on iOS for Exchange and Gmail.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">All this development shows that this is the “new Microsoft” we are witnessing and it was impossible few years ago. Also, few years ago, Salesforce and Microsoft used to criticize each other publicly- but things have changed under Nadella.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Google Glass team is now called Project Aura. The company is hiring engineers, project managers, software developers from Lab126, which is Amazon’s secretive hardware-focused research wing in Bay Area, according to<span style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; transition-duration: 0.2s;">Business Insider</span></span>. In the past, Amazon has laid off tons of engineers after the failure of Fire smartphone. It seems that someone’s demise is some else’s prize.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It should be noted that Project Aura will remain under the hood of Google instead of being a new standalone company under Alphabet. Project Aura is run by Ivy Ross, who oversaw the Google Glass project. Ivy will be reporting to Google’s connected-home business Nest. It’s doubtful about what will happen when Nest becomes a separate company under Alphabet in near future.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Project Aura has hired at least 4 Lab126 employees to work on the new Google Glass and the company has a dedicated recruiter to bring in more talent.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Apart from developing the next Google Glass, Project Aura is also working on making other wearables.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It should be noted that the original Google Glass costed $1,500 to the consumers earlier this year. The wearable was ultimately scrapped as it was too expensive, impractical and came with<span style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; transition-duration: 0.2s;"> </span>tons of privacy concerns</span>.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With iOS 9, we are witnessing lots of new features, including the new Low Power Mode. This <em style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">new</em> feature could sound weird to Android users, but it’s a great sigh of relief for Apple consumers. We are also greeted with the other features like multitasking tools and a new way to close apps with a 3D app carousel (once again Android says hello).

Did NSA and GCHQ Spy on You? Here’s How to Find Out and Complain

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.8px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Do you have a feeling that NSA and its British counterpart GCHQ spied on you? Well, how to confirm this? Using a new tool released by the Privacy International, a British civil liberties group, you can find out.</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.8px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.8px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">E</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28.8px;">arlier this year, Privacy International won a legal battle. Now, if a person requests the UK Investigatory Powers Tribunal, the organization is bound to search for your name through the GCHQ data obtained from the NSA. This request could be made by any person in the world and if the Tribunal finds something related to you, it will let you know for sure.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To make this process easy, Privacy International has devised an online tool named “<em style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border-color: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; transition-duration: 0.2s;">Did GCHQ Illegally Spy on You?</span></span></em>“. There’s just one thing to keep in mind- the request for the search is to be made before December 5, 2015.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">All the requests are processed by UK Investigatory Powers Tribunal, that looks for your details like name, IP address, email etc. in GCHQ database. On its website, Privacy International writes: “Join our campaign by entering your details below to find out if GCHQ illegally spied on you, and confirm via the email we send you. We’ll then go to court demanding that they finally come clean on unlawful surveillance.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It should be noted that the Tribunal will look for your records shared between GCHQ and the NSA prior to December 2014. Another factor that should be kept in mind- it only finds your name if your data has been shared by NASA with GCHQ. Knowing the fact that NSA and GCHQ work closely on surveillance programs and share tons of intelligence, this tool should be helpful to many.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The organization states: “We think you have a right to know whether you have been caught up in GCHQ and NSA’s illegal intelligence sharing. If you have been, you have a right to demand that data be deleted. Privacy International wants to help you assert your rights.”</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.8px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, no problem.
