Google Search 4.3 Update May Prepare App for Google Now Open API: Report

Google has reportedly started rolling out the updated Google Search aka Google app to version 4.3 for users in some regions.
According to Android Police, which has the Google-signed apk available for sideloading, the Google Search v4.3 doesn't include any immediate changes for users, but it is likely that with the update Google is preparing for the open Cards API for Google Now. Announced last week, the open Cards API for Google Now will soon allow all apps to display information to the user via the service.
Further in the Google Search v4.3 apk teardown, Android Police found a single background image for showing traffic incidents on an Android Wear device, a new library, and few strings related to Google doodles, and more. Other than that, the report also noted new bits called "cardsync," which may be related to the aforementioned Cards API.
Meanwhile, Google on its Webmaster Central blog announced that the Search Quality team is committed towards minimising the impact of spam on users. It says it is making changes on priority in the ranking of "doorway pages" which were created solely for search engines.
"For example, searchers might get a list of results that all go to the same site. So if a user clicks on one result, doesn't like it, and then tries the next result in the search results page and is taken to that same site that they didn't like, that's a really frustrating experience," noted Brian White, Google Webspam Team.

Would you buy $2500-a-year .sucks domain to protect your brand image?

New Delhi: One of the 500+ new, generic top-level domains (gTLDs) that have been approved, .sucks has generated quite a stir after .adult and .porn domains. Controversial by the name and the price, .sucks domain name is up for grabs for upto $2500 per year for trademark holders.
Early registration for .sucks begins later this month, however, brands that want to register their trademarked names before the general public will be required to pay a hefty price.
US Senator Jay Rockefeller told ICANN - the international organization that manages the internet's domain name system - that the .sucks domain has 'little or no public interest value' and called it 'little more than a predatory shakedown scheme' aimed at getting businesses to spend big money on defensive domain registrations, MarketingLand reported MarketingLand reported.

Early registration for .sucks begins later this month, however, brands that want to register their trademarked names before the general public will be required to pay a hefty price.

Brands would be interested in using this domain for defensive purposes, as a way to protect their trademarked names by registering domains before the general public can. However, Andy Beal, CEO of the branding and reputation management agency Reputation Refinery, said that a tweet, Yelp post or a review could do far more damage than a .sucks domain used against a company.
A company called Momentous won ICANN's auction last November through its subsidiary, Vox Populi, giving it the right to operate the .sucks domain. The early registration period, or sunrise, starts on March 30 and general availability begins on June 1.
Vox Populi is positioning the new gTLD as a platform for conversation. Its website declares that the domain "is designed to help consumers find their voices and allow companies to find the value in criticism."
The domain will be available to consumers for $10 per year through 'consumer advocate subsidy'. Those who want to run their own website using .sucks will pay $249 per year for the standard registration, while the premium registration will cost more.
Companies that are registered with the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) will have to pay $2,500 per domain during the sunrise period, and the same amount every year they renew their domain(s).

Nintendo will make games for phones, new 'NX' system

Nintendo is finally making its move into smartphone gaming.
Following years of speculation, the House of Mario confirmed on Tuesday that its stable of popular gaming characters will be arriving on smart devices, courtesy of a new tie-up. It also revealed the code-name of its next dedicated games system.
Nintendo is the owner of some of the best-known video game franchises of all time, including Mario, The Legend of Zelda and many more. Traditionally, the Japanese gaming giant has been extremely conservative about letting its popular franchises roam onto non-Nintendo products -- but with the firm's fortunes fading in the face of competition from gaming on phones and tablets, a new wave of customers could be about to get a chance to play with the company's most popular characters.
As part of a tie-up with Japanese company DeNA -- which publishes a range of free-to-play mobile games -- Nintendo content will be coming to game apps for smart devices. "All Nintendo [intellectual property] will be eligible for development and exploration by the alliance," Nintendo's press release explains. This suggests that mobile Mario and Zelda games are definitely on the cards, though notes that only new and original games will be made, so don't expect any ports of Wii U or 3DS games.Nintendo has resisted calls to get involved in smartphone and tablet gaming for years, but risks being left behind if it doesn't make its games available on these increasingly popular platforms. "The business morphed from the only way that any young person could play a video game into one of many choices for young people who are just learning how to play games," Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Securities told CNET in JanuaryMany of DeNA's games generate cash for their maker using in-app payments. This suggests that Nintendo may be planning to release games that are free to download, but offer gamers the option to buy extra items or unlock levels by throwing down small amounts of real cash. Popular apps like Candy Crush have demonstrated the earning power of these so-called "freemium" games, but gaming purists may find the thought of paying for in-game shortcuts hard to swallow.

NX games system

Meanwhile Nintendo looks to be cooking up a new console, promising its next games machine will feature an "entirely new concept".
At the same press conference where it unveiled its mobile deal, Nintendo also moved to reaffirm its commitment to dedicated games machines, confirming it has a new own-brand system in the works -- though details are very scant for now.
"Nintendo is currently developing a dedicated games platform with a brand new concept under the development codename NX," an English audio translation of the press conference says.
"It is too early to elaborate on the details of this project but we hope to share more information with you next year," the company stated.

Facebook specifies new guidelines for images and posts

Facebook has categorised "fully exposed buttocks" and "images of female breasts if they include the nipple" under a list of banned posts in their revamped community standards section. Facebook said that the new guidelines were aimed at bringing "clarity" over what can and cannot be posted on the website, reported The Verge.
The social media platform however, added that some nudity was permissible "for artistic purposes."
While explaining that its policies could "sometimes be more blunt than we would like," Facebook said that although some nudity may be for a campaign or artistic purpose, some users in different parts of the world may be sensitive to this type of content.
The social media giant added that the restrictions on the display of both nudity and sexual activity also applied to digitally created content unless the content is posted for educational, humorous or satirical purposes. Explicit images of sexual intercourse and verbal descriptions of sexual acts that go into vivid detail are prohibited, it said.
The new guidelines will also not allow any organisation to have a presence on the site if they engage in terrorist activity, organised crime, or promoting hate against others. The website also said that it will also remove content expressing support for any groups involved in such behaviour. These restrictions came in the wake of increased social media activity from terror networks such as the Islamic State (IS).
Other banned posts included direct threats, self-injury, dangerous organisations, bullying and harassment, attacks on public figures, sexual violence and exploitation.

Apple said to plan September launch of subscription TV service

Apple's much-hinted-at subscription TV service may become a reality before the end of the year.
The iPhone maker is in talks with TV programmers to offer a Web-based subscription TV service that would launch in September, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday, citing unidentified sources. The service would offer programming from about 25 channels, including major networks ABC, CBS and Fox, that would be available on all devices running Apple's iOS operating system, including the Apple TV, according to the report. (Disclosure: CBS is the parent company of CNET.)
The service, which is expected to be announced in June, would deliver programming across the Internet, like Dish's Sling TV product and Sony's upcoming service. The report did not reveal an expected subscription cost for the service but did note that some media executives pegged Apple's service at about $30 to $40 a month. Dish's Sling TV, meanwhile, is a $20 per month live TV package with 12 channels, including ESPN, TNT, CNN, HGTV and the Disney Channel. (Only US details have emerged at the moment.)
Apple did not respond to a request for comment.
Apple has hinted for quite some time that it's working on a more complete, over-the-top video streaming service. However, there have been no signs such a product is close to ready, which largely has been attributed to difficulties securing content deals at reasonable rates.
"TV is a hard problem to solve," Eddy Cue, Apple senior vice president of Internet software and services, said in May. "One of the problems you have with a TV is you have a disparate system with a bunch of providers. There's no standards. There's a lot of rights issues."
Last week, Apple scored a deal with one notable content provider: HBO Now. Starting in April, users of the iPhone, iPad and Apple TV will be able to subscribe to the new standalone streaming service for $15 a month. The arrangement is a three-month exclusive among "new digital distributors," giving Apple a leg up on the likes of Roku and Google's Chromecast. (HBO Go is also now coming to a traditional cable provider, Cablevision, in a deal announced Monday.)
The Wall Street Journal's report appears to bolster an article by Recode last month that Apple was in early talks with programmers to offer a Web-based subscription service. Programmers had been shown demos of how the service might work, but timing and pricing were still unknown.
Not all the major networks are part of the picture, the Journal said. NBCUniversal, the owner of NBC, is said to not be included in the talks due to a conflict Apple has with Comcast, the parent company of NBCUniversal. The two companies were reportedly in talks last year to offer streaming TV service that would tap Comcast's broadband expertise, but those discussions were hampered by Apple reaching the conclusion that Comcast was stalling while developing its own set-top box, the Journal reported.
