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.

Android Wear soon to offer watch-to-watch communication

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.

Optical Fibre now can handle more data


With the amount of internet connected devices increasing day-by-day, the capacity to handle them must also increase. Not to forget that the means for faster internet will also increase. Researchers have come up with a solution for this.
Engineers from University of California have worked on this regard and have come up with a new research that would  increase fiber optic capacity nearly 20 times by successfully sending a signal through 7456 miles cable without the need of any electrical generators.
This news has come handy at a time when there was a panic on knowing that the standard optical fibre cables can't handle the growing capacity of internet connected devices.
With this, people can expect a faster internet speed once these cables are used. Although, it would buy some time to implement these fibres into practical environment.

5G network speed determined as 20mbps


Sounds like a nightmare isn't it? But it's not. The International Telecommunication Union(ITU) has agreed upon on a 5G speed of 20mbps . A conference was held in San Diego(June 10th to 18th) to decide on the future successor of 4G. The 12 member delegation had met to draw the specifications on it.
Comparing to 4G,5G would have speeds up to 20mbps(not that it may not be exactly 20mbps) than the present 4G network which means that it would be almost 20% faster.The big increase in the speed would mean that one can easily access a 4K content hasslefree.
Although, this is just a beginning, the final details on the 5G network would be only available in the month of October with the approval of all the 193 members of the ITU.
