Sage LaTorra, a Test Engineer at Google, just told the world about an awesome little Easter egg he added to Google Hangouts. He’s one to often use the shrug emoji, so it makes sense that this was a priority for him.

Google Glass going to Super Bowl 50 despite being pulled from the public eye [Video]

Stephen Hall Jan 25 2016 - 12:13 pm PT

0 Comments

We told you yesterday that Google shuttered the Glass social media accounts, but that doesn’t mean Glass is dead. This may sound like the same old song if you’ve followed my thoughts in the past, but it’s a simple fact that Glass still lives in the enterprise. This means doctor’s offices, hospitals, sports stadiums, factories, warehouses and more. One such example happens to be the Denver Broncos, one of two teams headed to Super Bowl 50…

Google rolling out HTTPS cached website pages for HTTPS-enabled sites

Stephen Hall Jan 22 2016 - 9:00 am PT

HTTPS has become the rule, rather than the exception to the rule, in recent years. And in an effort to usher in the encrypted and more-secure communication protocol, Google announced last month that it would begin prioritizing HTTPS sites over HTTP sites when indexing the web. Unsurprisingly, Google is also slowly-but-surely making sure all of its own web properties use HTTPS over standard HTTP. Google’s cached pages available on the search site are now part of the club…

YouTube now lets you enable playback looping with just a couple clicks

Stephen Hall Jan 21 2016 - 1:07 pm PT

0 Comments

YouTube now lets you click a convenient button to enable endless looping of videos. It’s not a feature that has been impossible to add without the help of a quick Chrome extension install, but now it’s accessible on YouTube’s site without needing to install any third-party software at all. Just right-click the YouTube viewer and click “Loop”…

Perhaps you just love that new Coldplay single, or you want to watch a funny 10 second clip on repeat. We’ve all had at least one moment that this feature would have come in handy, and now it’s here. Maybe you could head over to our YouTube channel and turn the feature on for a while? Or just watch our videos. Yeah, that would be great. Here’s a quick link.

Now you can loop @YouTube video directly without install any extension.
