DCA filed a lawsuit against Samsung for failing to update 82 per cent Android devices
DCA sued Samsung for failing to update 82 per cent Android devices
Samsung, the arguably largest smartphone manufacturer has been sued by Dutch Consumers Association (DCA) for not providing updates to their devices for more than 24 months since inception and even from the date that all device are been sold.
DCA further accuse Samsung of not providing updates to smartphones released in to Netherland market.
DCA further proclaim that there are other firms in Samsung shoe that are as well failing to provide update to their devices, but Samsung was highhandedly targeted by the group due to the fact it has the largest market share which is more than 80% in Netherland.
“We have made a number of commitments in recent months to better inform consumers about the status of security issues, and the measures we are taking to address those issues,” reads the statement.
On purchasing a Samsung Android phone, customers are given deficient information as to how when they can get their devices updated.. The Consummate bond is requesting that Samsung give its clients clear and unambiguous data about this. Samsung additionally gives inadequate data about basic security vulnerabilities, for example, Stagefright, in its Android smartphones
In response to the claim, Samsung uncovered the official explanation uncovering that it is as of now attempting to enhance its reports on programming and security.

Movidius on Wednesday announced that its working with Google to put deep learning on mobile devices.
Google will source Movidius latest flagship chip -- the MA2450 -- and software development environment, and will contribute to Movidius neural network technology road map in return. That could result in smartphones and other mobile devices that will be able to understand images and audio swiftly and accurately.
The Movidius Technology
The MA2450 is the most powerful iteration of Movidius Myriad 2 vision processor unit, which the company said is the only commercial solution available to perform complex neural network computations. The Myriad 2 is the first always-on vision processor, Movidius said. It has a programmable architecture and comes with the Myriad Development Kit, or MDK, which includes a software development framework. That lets developers incorporate proprietary functions and build arbitrary processing pipelines while leveraging the vision, imaging, and linear algebra software libraries and reference vision processing pipeline examples Movidius provides, all as source code. The MDK includes all necessary programming and debugging tools. Movidiuss Myriad VPU processor powers Googles Project Tango.
What to Expect
"We can expect to see run-time deep neural networks for speech-to-text, vision and many other smart machine applications running in phones, cameras, automobiles, medical devices and others because the DNN models can be downloaded and run disconnected from the cloud," Gartner Fellow Tom Austin said. "Remember that working with Google on a project doesnt necessarily translate into products," cautioned Jim McGregor, principal analyst at Tirias Research. "However, this has the potential for almost any device and extends well beyond just facial recognition; this is machine learning." Facial recognition and retinal scans the technology enables "could significantly increase the level of security over fingerprints and even help identify people," he told TechNewsWorld. Facial recognition could be used in two-factor authentication, and Google could bake it into Android as it did with fingerprint IDs, suggested Wayne Lam, a principal analyst at IHS Technology. Google also could apply the technology to home security platforms, he told TechNewsWorld. "Think Nest and other IoT uses."
Potential Uses for the Technology
Banks will begin using smart machines widely, and a report Gartners Austin co-authored suggests most banks will invest in six main types of smart machines during the next few years. The smart machines resulting from Googles team-up with Movidius could make wireless banking more secure, he told TechNewsWorld. Other possible uses include authenticating users or admins signing in remotely to an enterprise network, and tracking and authenticating users for security purposes and for provisioning or deprovisioning as needed. "Facial recognition and retinal scans are much more secure and user-friendly than any of the more common security solutions," Tirias Researchs McGregor said. "This could allow users to log in and begin using platforms in a secure manner effortlessly." The technology also could be used in wearables and industrial applications in the medical and industrial automation fields, where the Internet of Things might come into play, he suggested.
A New Trend Emerges
"This capability is not limited to the Movidius solution," McGregor pointed out. "Qualcomm is doing it in conjunction with its image signal processor, and this could be done within most SoCs by leveraging the ISP, DSP, GPU, VPU and CPU resources." Microsoft, Apple "and a whole range of social sites like Facebook, ... Amazon, Baidu, IBM and a few thousand other firms" might follow suit, Gartners Austin suggested. As global smartphone sales slow, "well see more and more efforts to create differentiated value for platforms such as Android and iOS just to keep up with the furious pace of competition and innovations," noted IHSs Lam. Google may need to hustle: Movidius "is open for business," Dashwood told TechNewsWorld. "Were currently working with numerous partners on lots of different products."
Microsoft to Introduce Windows keyboard to iPhone with one-hand typing mode
Microsoft to Introduce Windows keyboard to iPhone with one-hand typing mode
Microsoft is now researching on how integrate the windows phone keyboard for iOS devices, the company is conducting tests to see how the feature can perfectly fit in to iPhone.
It cannot be confused for iPhones World flow keyboard where keys shift side ways, report says “You can access word suggestions, emoji and swipe letters to wrote out words.
This third party Keyboard from Microsoft to iOS devices will be of great users with users who have dexterity at using one hand to type on their smart devices.
iOS has long ward been warding off third party keyboard to avoid complex security issue, with this latest development its like iOS has gotten over it and now bring this long awaited feature for iOS users.
