Google Nexus 6 to be based on LG G3: Report

The next-generation Nexus phone will be based on LG’s upcoming G3 smartphone, according to a report.

NEW DELHI: The next-generation Nexus phone will be based on LG's upcoming G3 smartphone, according to a report.

Gizmodo Germany, citing sources, says thatNexus 6 will be a "lightweight version" of the G3. LG is expected to launch the G3 smartphone in June this year. The device is said to have display resolution of 2560x1440p, run on a 64-bit processor and 16MP rear camera.

As Nexus 6 will be a lighter version of G3, it is speculated that Google may opt for lower camera and screen resolution. Therefore, Nexus 6 may have an 8 or 13MP rear camera and 1920x1080p resolution (just like Nexus 5).

Last week at the Mobile World Congress, Android chief Sundar Pichai said that Nexus 6 will not hit the market in the first half of the year.

It is expected that Google will unveil the handset in October or November this year, just like Nexus 4 and 5. The company is likely to launch a new version of Android with Nexus 6.

Yahoo to disable Facebook, Google sign-in for its services

Yahoo will stop letting consumers access its various online services by signing-in with their Facebook or Google credentials.

SAN FRANCISCO: Yahoo will stop letting consumers access its various online services, including Fantasy Sports and photo-sharing site Flickr, by signing-in with their Facebook orGoogle credentials. 

The change, which will be rolled out gradually according to a Yahoo spokeswoman, will require users to register for a Yahoo ID in order to use any of the internet portal's services. 

The move marks the latest change to Yahoo by chief executive Marissa Mayer, who is striving to spark fresh interest in the company's Web products and to revive its stagnant revenue. 

"Yahoo is continually working on improving the user experience," the company said in a statement, noting that the new process "will allow us to offer the best personalized experience to everyone". 

The first Yahoo service to require the new sign-in process is Yahoo Sports Tourney Pick'Em, a service focused on the NCAA college basketball tournament which begins later this month. News of the change to Yahoo's Tourney Pick'Em sign-in process was first reported by the technology blog Betanews. 

Since Mayer took the reins in 2012, the company has rolled out new versions of many of its key products, including Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Finance. Last year, Yahoo announced a program to recycle inactive Yahoo user IDs, letting new users claim email addresses that have not been used for more than 12 months. 

In eliminating the Facebook and Google sign-in features, Mayer, a former Google executive, is effectively reversing a strategy that Yahoo adopted in 2010 and 2011 under then CEO Carol Bartz. 

The change to the Tourney Pick'Em sign-in process began on Monday, the Yahoo spokeswoman said, noting that users could still access other services with Google or Facebook IDs. 

The sign-in buttons for Facebook and Google will eventually be removed from all Yahoo properties, the Yahoo spokeswoman, though she declined to provide a timeframe

Google, Samsung’s 'fears' on Microsoft-Nokia deal

China's ministry of commerce is conducting an anti-monopoly review and is likely to approve the deal.

Google and Samsung have asked Chinese regulators to ensure that Microsoft's bid to acquire Nokia's phone business did not lead to higher licensing fees on patents that remain with the Finnish company, it was reported on Monday.

The companies joined Chinese mobile phone makers in voicing concerns about Microsoft gaining more power in the smartphone market, the report said, citing two government officials familiar with the matter.

The companies have asked the regulators to set conditions on the deal, the officials said.

China's ministry of commerce is conducting an anti-monopoly review and is likely to approve the deal, the officials told Bloomberg. European Union antitrust regulators approved the acquisition without conditions in December.

Samsung and Google did not respond to Reuters requests for comment. Nokia declined to comment.

Asia Cup 2014: What India gained despite debacle

Indian players endured a heart-breaking loss against Pakistan. (AFP Photo)

India may be virtually out of Asia Cup after defeats against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, but they have still made some gains that should enthuse the team management. 

Virat Kohli's captaincy: Stand-in captainVirat Kohli has shown he has leadership qualities. In the opener against Bangladesh, he led from the front by slamming 136 to script an easy win after India had stuttered at the start. In the next two games, he was left defending moderate scores on flat tracks, with the dew factor making things tougher. 

Kohli's aggressive style of captaincy has shades of Sourav Ganguly, and fires up his teammates as well. Tactically, he proved his reading of the conditions was spot on by picking three spinners, including the much-ignored Amit Mishra, against Pakistan. His praise for teammates after the heart-breaking loss to Pakistan is admirable, and shows he is willing to back them even in tough times. 

Amit Mishra's 'resurrection': When was the last time you saw an Indian bowler concede merely 28 runs in 10 overs and take two wickets? Playing his first international game in close to six months,Amit Mishra showed little rustiness. His show against Pakistan showed what an exciting option an attacking leg-spinner provides to the team. 

It isn't easy for a leg-spinner to find his groove when he hardly gets to play, but Mishra was on the ball and bamboozled even quality players of spin. Now the big question: Will Mishra enjoy Dhoni's confidence too? 

Ravindra Jadeja's emergence as all-rounder: This 25-year-old, once ridiculed as Dhoni's 'favourite,' seems to be finally coming of age and is the leading all-rounder in the team currently. While Pakistan nullified his threat by going after him early on, the youngster was terrific with the ball in the other two games. 

It is with the bat, though, that the Saurashtra man is now looking like solving a critical problem for the team, by making useful contributions at No. 7. 

Rahane and Rayudu's encouraging show: Though Ajinkya Rahane is an almost certainty in Test cricket for India now, the young turk is yet to seal his ODI spot. In the first game though, Rahane showed that he was keen to do that as well as he played the perfect foil to Kohli, stroking a calm 73 in a 213-run match-winning stand with the skipper. A couple of knocks more like this, and the Mumbaikar could be a different batsman altogether. His energetic fielding at point and cover gives India a definite advantage. 

Ambati Rayudu too would feel much more confident after his 62-ball 58 against Pakistan. Having been preferred over the likes of Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina for a middle-order berth, Rayudu knows it was a knock that should guarantee him a few more games

Google 'Project Tango' 3D vision smartphone platform announced

Google announced a new research project Thursday aimed at bringing 3D technology to smartphones, for potential applications such as indoor mapping, gaming and helping blind people navigate.

The California tech giant said its "Project Tango" would provide prototypes of its new smartphone to outside developers to encourage the writing of new applications.

Project leader Johnny Lee said the goal of the project, which incorporates robotics and vision-processing technology, is "to give mobile devices a human-scale understanding of space and motion."

"What if you could capture the dimensions of your home simply by walking around with your phone before you went furniture shopping?" Google said on its Project Tango web page.

"What if directions to a new location didn't stop at the street address? What if you never again found yourself lost in a new building? What if the visually impaired could navigate unassisted in unfamiliar indoor places? What if you could search for a product and see where the exact shelf is located in a super-store?"

The technology could also be used for "playing hide-and-seek in your house with your favorite game character, or transforming the hallways into a tree-lined path."

Smartphones are equipped with sensors which make over 1.4 million measurements per second, updating the positon and rotation of the phone.

Partners in the project include researchers from the University of Minnesota, George Washington University, German tech firm Bosch and the Open Source Robotics Foundation, among others.

Another partner is California-based Movidius, which makes vision-processor technology for mobile and portable devices and will provide the processor platform.

Movidius said in a statement the goal was "to mirror human vision with a newfound level of depth, clarity and realism on mobile and portable connected devices."

"Google has paved the future direction for smart mobile vision systems and we're excited to be working with a company that shares our vision to usher in the next wave of applications that fundamentally alter how a mobile device is used to experience the world around us," said Remi El-Ouazzane, chief executive of Movidius.

"Project Tango is truly a groundbreaking platform and we look forward to seeing the innovation the developer community achieves," he added.

Assessment Benefits Both Employers And Employees

According to a TimesJobs.com poll, 84 per cent IT professionals would like to be assessed and know about their core-competency ranking.

These days it is important for employees to understand how they are ranked against their peers in their core-competency. They also want to be assessed, from time to time, in order to know where they stand, in terms of their skills and domain knowledge, especially IT professionals. According to a poll conducted by TimesJobs.com, 84 per cent experienced IT professionals would like to know about their core-competency (skills/domain knowledge/etc.) ranking, as compared to your peers. They believe, this information, would help them evaluate their current standing and plan their training requirements.

Apart from candidates, even organisations would like to know about the strength and weaknesses of all their employees. This helps the overall performance of the organisation and therefore, most organisations today have in-house assessment centres or have outsourced their assessment process. “To achieve organizational performance goals, it is imperative for organisations to have competent people and thus assessment centres have become an integral part of the business process,” stated, Hema Parikh, director, Human Resources, Ajuba Solutions.

In an exclusive conversation with TimesJobs.com, Vijay L Sonawane, senior vice president – HR, Glodyne Technoserve Ltd stated that the techniques used in assessment centres enable assessors to observe and assess candidate’s behaviour in a number of different situations. This provides a more comprehensive and all rounded picture of the candidates.

Vaishali Vaid, VP, head – Global HR and Learning, KPIT Cummins, during one of the TimesJobs.com High-Tea Chat Session, stated that, to succeed in the IT sector, overall knowledge of technical space is essential, but apart from that, candidates must possess skills like business etiquette, good communication skills both spoken and written such as email writing and team spirit.

She feels that every employee has an innate desire to learn and grow in their career. Thus organisations should invest a lot in enabling training for their employees; also, designing special development programs. This ensures continuous value addition to an employee’s profile, showing them the right growth path and helps retain them.

“Core benefit of any training is to add to a candidate’s skill base and learning. This needs to be continuous. Candidates must internalise the learnings from training and implement it in their daily work. Only then will it really benefit them and help them grow,” she opined.

Students Should Be Involved In Research-Oriented Projects: Hollander

Prof. Jane den Hollander, vice chancellor, Deakin University, Australia 

How important do you think is industry-academia collaboration in bridging the skills gap? 

Earlier universities used to be only about teaching and research. However, today, they are well positioned to help drive the innovation that will create future jobs.

Part of that is about aligning industry needs with academic rigour and discovery, so that educational institutions can nurture job ready graduates ready to take their place in the rapidly changing global economy. Not only this, they should also empower students to the extent where they are not only job ready, but also become job creators.

Preparing students for the future jobs and skills is critical to the achievement of strong economic growth and towards the development of vibrant and sustainable communities.

What are the various ways through which institutes can collaborate with industry to enhance the students’ employability quotient? Please share some examples of such collaborations that your university is involved in. 

It is very important to ensure graduates are ready to add value and contribute to the growing needs of the industry. Students should be involved in research-oriented projects that are directly focused on addressing some of the critical problems facing the world. Institutions should proactively consider the partnerships with the corporate located not only within their country, but outside their geographical space to provide the best of experience to the students of different cultural backgrounds.

The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) of India and Deakin University will undergo a major expansion to meet the growing need for scientific solutions to issues, including food security for a growing population, sustainable agricultural practices and environmental sustainability.

Under this collaboration, most students would also have the chance to travel to Australia and spend six months undertaking critical experiments using the complementary facilities at Deakin.  Students will therefore, have access to leading facilities and experts in India as well as a highly valuable overseas experience.

The Carbon Nexus research facility at our Waurn Ponds Campus is another great example of how Deakin is developing industry-academic partnerships and the technical capability and scientific capacity needed to lead industry development.

Carbon Nexus is a pivotal point for industry engagement and development. Carbon Nexus is the world’s first, dedicated, pilot scale research plant capable of producing large-scale quantities of industrial and aerospace quality carbon fibre and world-class research into carbon fibre.

How important is the govt.’s role in such collaborations? 

The government plays a very important role. It is important in providing a platform for the creation and growth of these collaborations, as well as potential locations, grants and investment funding that helps us produce tangible results for the communities we serve.

What are the ways by which the challenges associated with this collaboration can be curbed?

One of the key to a sustainable collaboration is local presence, whether in our local communities or close and longstanding partners like India.

However, these partnerships are about far more than dollars. Deakin’s presence in India for nearly two decades is one of the key success points; with a strong focus on building deep and long-term relationships.

I believe, universities in Australia and here in India must continue to build partnerships, if we want to nurture students with a truly global mindset and help us get the most out of the collaborations we build.

Do you believe that customising curriculum as per industry requirements is a good idea? 

In a global market, an internationalised curriculum, with a broader, multidisciplinary and multi-perspective understanding is important. It is also important to tailor relevant curriculum to the requirements of industry.
