<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "geneva";"><strong>Google this week announced the availability of Google Safe Browsing technology in its Chrome browser for Android, a feature meant to keep users safe from malware, unwanted software, and social engineering sites.</strong></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "geneva";">The Internet giant has integrated Safe Browsing in Google Play Services version 8.1, and Chrome for Android version 46 and up is the first application to take advantage of the security enhancement. Users can head to Settings > Privacy menu in Chrome on their Android devices to check whether Safe Browsing is enabled, the company explained in a <a href="https://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.ro/2015/12/protecting-hundreds-of-millions-more.html" style="color: #0076b4; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">blog post</a>.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "geneva";">The feature has been available on Chrome for desktop for a long time, informing users when they were about to access a dangerous site. With Safe Browsing available on Android, users can now be warned on the risk of accessing a flagged website, such as social engineering, phishing, and other malicious web pages.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "geneva"; font-size: small;">According to Google, the main challenge of providing such protection on a mobile device is related to data size, as mobile data costs more and is delivered at lower speeds. With network bandwidth and battery being the most valuable resources on a mobile device, the company decided to break threats by geo location and to send information to protect devices only to the regions targeted by the attacks.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "geneva";">Moreover, the company decided to deliver information on the riskiest sites first, to ensure the data is more relevant, and also tried to compress it as much as possible, to ensure data transfer savings. The software running on devices uses fewer resources and minimizes network traffic, in an attempt to ensure longer battery life.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "geneva";">“Some social engineering attacks only happen in certain parts of the world, so we only send information that protects devices in the geographic regions they’re in. We also make sure that we send information about the riskiest sites first: if we can only get a very short update through, as is often the case on lower-speed networks in emerging economies, the update really has to count,” the company said.</span></span></div>

at young consumers and claims that the devices will strengthen their

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Motorola is set to launch the Moto G Turbo Edition in India later 
this week. The company has begun teasing what appears to be a Wednesday 
launch of the smartphone on its India Twitter handle.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Motorola India on Monday <a href="https://twitter.com/MotorolaIndia/status/673846820213301248" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tweeted</a>,
 "Power up and get ready for #TurboMode! 3 Days to go for Moto G Turbo 
edition. Coming soon!". Over the weekend, the company has been dropping 
other hints as well: Stay Restless (unchain and step outside 
fearlessly), Dance in the Rain (leave the worrying to us. We've got your
 back), Live the Moments (we'll make sure you relive them forever), and 
Explore the World (time will never be an excuse again). The company 
began teasing the launch from Saturday, and with a <a href="https://twitter.com/MotorolaIndia/status/673373854362808320" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tweet</a>
 on Sunday pointed to a three-day launch time-frame - suggesting a 
Wednesday launch rather than a Thursday launch hinted at by Monday's

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

</span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">As for the specifications, the Moto G Turbo Edition sports a 5-inch 
full-HD (1080x1920 pixel) display, up from the HD display in the Moto G 
(Gen 3) with Gorilla Glass 3 coating. It is powered by a Snapdragon 615 
SoC and 2GB of RAM (up from the Snapdragon 410 SoC and 1GB RAM in Moto G Gen 3).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">  </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">With close to one-and-a-half billion people currently on Facebook,
 keeping a low profile can be tricky. It's in the site's best interest 
to make it easy for you to make connections with family, friends, and 
acquaintances. However, if you want to make it more difficult for people
 to track you down, there are ways to do it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">From the desktop website, dive into the <strong>Settings</strong> entry from the toolbar menu, then click through on the <strong>Privacy</strong> heading on the left. Under the <strong>Who can look me up?</strong> section you'll find three options that are of use to us here. By clicking on the <strong>Edit</strong> links to the right, it's possible to stop people who aren't already your friends looking you up via your email or phone number.</span>
<br />
<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">There's
 also the option to hide yourself from public search engines. Turn this 
off, and your Facebook profile won't appear the next time someone 
Googles or Bings your name on the open web-unfortunately you can't hide 
yourself from the search tools inside Facebook, unless you use an 
alternative or abbreviated name or something like that.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">What you can do is limit the information Facebook has on you. Click the <strong>Update Info</strong>
 button on your profile, and remove references to workplaces, 
educational establishments, and places you've lived. This will make it 
harder for someone to locate you on Facebook, particularly if you've got
 a common name and are likely to get lost in a long list of search 
results.</span>

<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Finally you can go back to the Privacy page and turn off 
the option that allows anyone with a Facebook account to contact you. 
Limit this to <strong>Friends of friends, </strong>and you won't have to
 pretend to ignore that old classmate of yours who's bombarding you with
 messages. He or she won't be able to reach you in the first place.</span><br />

handsets sport over and above the original Galaxy A3, Galaxy A5, and 
Galaxy A7.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>1. Bigger display</b> - Two of the three Galaxy A 
(2016) smartphones feature bigger displays than their predecessors.

 heightened productivity, on the negative side, increases the size of 
the smartphone. The Galaxy A3 (2016) and Galaxy A5 (2016)
 feature 5.2-inch and 4.7-inch display sizes respectively. For those

smartphones not only feature bigger displays, but come with better 
screen resolution as well. While the original Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5

displays respectively, their successors now sport HD (720x1280 pixels) 
and full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) resolution displays respectively. Once 
again, there's no change with Galaxy A7 (2016) as it features the same 
full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) resolution display panel.</span><br />

Galaxy A3. The Galaxy A7 (2016) houses 3GB RAM, which is 1GB bump from 
Galaxy A7's 2GB RAM. The amount of memory on the Samsung Galaxy A5 and 
Galaxy A5 (2016) stays the same at 2GB RAM.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>5. Higher resolution 
cameras, with OIS</b> - Samsung has updated the optics of the new Galaxy 
A-series smartphones. The biggest difference is the inclusion of the 
optical image stabilisation (OIS) feature for two of the three 
smartphones, which should help deliver more stable shots and video 
capture. The Galaxy A5 (2016) and Galaxy A7 (2016) now come with the 
optical image stabilisation feature. Talking about an increase in 
resolution, the Galaxy A3 (2016)'s rear camera has been bumped up from
