Another Android vulnerability uncovered 

Recent studies and researches are raising questions on the how secure android is. Adding to it,a new research by zimperium has revealed a much easier way for hackers to exploit the device.
According to Drake,a researcher in zimperium, the hacker would send you a malware-laden video through an MMS and that's enough to exploit the device. Apps(such as the Hangouts) would instantly process the video so that viewers can view the content without waiting. More details on the new exploit are yet to uncovered in the zimperium's black-hat event at Los Vegas that is to be held next week.
But it doesn't mean that all devices are at 100% risk. The newer technology used in the latest Android devices make it difficult to perform such vulnerabilities. The sandbox contains the user data that is highly secure.
So, we just have to wait and watch on how it would be overcome.

Can you just imagine the world of communication through watches?Soon this is going to be a reality.Android Wear is set to launch a collection of new features in it upcoming wear devices.
The first feature will be new watch faces that will bring the one tap gesture to the Android Wear.The current Android 5.1.1 update allows the activation of launcher by swiping from right to left.Once the new Android Wear update is release,this will be the only way to open the launcher.
Android Wear is growing day by day

The next version is also set to bring a cross-device communication feature that would allow us to communicate with other watches.The android wear users would be able to send messages,emojis and doodles but is limited to just one watch face.
Although this feature may take the world of Android Wear devices to a new level,the fact that it is limited to just a single face may add to the negativity of the device.
