Google announces Android skilling program in India, to train 2 million developers

Google has launched its latest program in India - Android Skilling program - which aims to train about two million Android developers from scratch and educate and certify them. Android Developer training will be available for free through universities in India.

Google has announced a training program led by an instructor on Android Basics will be available at public and private universities and training institutes of the ability of the National Development Corporation of India. The Android Fundamentals course will be available for free on NPTEL which is an initiative of the IITs and IISc from July 18 onwards as part of their mobile computing course.

In addition to offering courses, Google has also been associated with training institutes such as Edureka, Koenig, Manipal Global, Simplilearn, Udacity and Upgrad Android that will function as Authorized Training Partners in India.

Apart from this, Google has also announced its certification program Android Developer Associate oriented work, which is a performance-based test that aims to help successful developers get entry level jobs for Android developers in the industry. Tests is priced at Rs 6,500 per attempt.

Facebook Messenger goving to bring end to end encryption option

giant social media Facebook has said it has begun offering an option to encrypt messages - a way to have secret conversations with other users - some of the 900 million users of messenger, your messaging application. The end to end encryption is a system that allows users to communicate only to read the messages. The update Facebook ban even reading the conversation of users.

"We want people to be able to use Messenger to every conversation you want to have," The Wall Street Journal quoted Tony Leach, product manager for Facebook Messenger as saying. "In some cases, these are really fun and casual things like sending emoji each other. In other cases, it is very serious conversations where you need an extra layer of security," said Leach.

Facebook introduced the encryption end to end one billion users of the messaging application WhatsApp in April. Leach said encrypt Messenger is a more difficult challenge WhatsApp because the service is widely used by browsers on personal computers as well as smartphones.

While in WhatsApp, the end to end encryption is enabled by default, Messenger users will have to activate the feature, which has not gone down well with a few. Christopher Soghoian, a leading technologist of the American Civil Liberties Union, wrote in a Twitter message that "opt-in encryption favors educated users who have the time to learn about setting security dark".

Meanwhile, Matthew Green, assistant professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins, who was invited by Facebook to review its efforts encryption end to end teacher, said he would like to see the feature enabled by default, but according that this would be a challenge.

"It's very difficult to get encrypted messaging application that has all the features that Facebook wants to work on the web and on multiple devices," Green said. Facebook said encryption end to end would not be immediately available in Messenger for group conversations, chatbots, payments or videos.

Xiaomi co-founder of Liwan Jiang conformed launch a premium smartphone this year

OnePlus recently he announced plans to focus all its efforts on its flagship smartphones, which also meant that the OnePlus X was the first and last of its kind. Now, Xiaomi Liwan Jiang said that the smartphone maker China is working on its highest bid quality, however, and that would be the price in the range of 4000 Yuan, which will be the first time for Xiaomi.

In China and other Asian markets, Xiaomi is known to offer value for money smartphone is priced usually between the input level to the midrange. While offers mid-range Xiaomi not offer emblematic specifications, there is always something missing, as we have seen from the recently released My 5. All this could soon be about to change as Xiaomi gives his first jump in the segment of high quality smartphones.

Xiaomi GizmoChina reports Liwan Jiang said that the smartphone will have a high price premium. But even with that high price tag (about Rs 40,000) the co-founder says that Xiaomi will bring even more to the table in terms of features and quality. While this may come as a surprise to the thousands of fans My, it seems that the brand just want to try new avenues and now that he has the experience, move on to higher levels.

1000 first microchip processors in the world created by a team of scientists

A team of US scientists He created the first microchip in the world that has 1,000 processors and is thought to be the fastest chip designed in a university laboratory. This low-power microchip, designed by a team at the University of California, Davis, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, is named as the "KiloCore" chip and has a maximum count rate of 1.78 trillion instructions per second and It contains 621 million transistors.

"To the best of our knowledge, is the first 1000 chip processor in the world and is the highest-frequency clock has been designed in a university processor," said Bevan Baas, professor of electrical and computer engineering. Manufactured by IBM using its 32nm CMOS technology, each processor core KiloCore chip can run your own small program independently of the others. The team said other multiple-processor chips that have been created so far never exceeded 300 processors.

"This is a fundamentally more flexible approach to the so-called Single-Instruction-Multiple-Data approaches used by processors such as GPU, the idea is to break an application into many small pieces, each of which can run in parallel on different processors, which enable high performance with lower power consumption, "Baas said. Because each processor has a speed independently, can auto turn off to save even more energy when not needed, Brent Bohnenstiehl graduate student who developed the architecture manager said.

Cores operating at a frequency of maximum average 1.78 GHz clock, and data transfer directly to each other instead of using a memory area grouped that can become a bottleneck for data. The KiloCore was presented at the 2016 Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits in Honolulu recently.
