    VARANASI: Police in Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi had booked Google CEO Sundar Pichai and 17 others last week over a video that allegedly defamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi but later removed the tech giant officials’ names from the FIR, police officials said on Friday.

    The names of Pichai and three other Google top officials were removed after they were found “not involved” in the case, a police official privy to the probe told PTI over the phone.

    The FIR was lodged following a complaint by a local resident who claimed that he got over 8,500 threat calls on his mobile phone after he objected to the video that he first came across in a WhatsApp group and later on YouTube, where it has over five lakh views, the officials said.

    Besides the US-based Pichai, others named in the FIR are three Google India officials including Sanjay Kumar Gupta, according to the FIR lodged at Bhelupur police station on February 6.

    Google’s response over the case is awaited.

    Among the rest named in the FIR are Ghazipur district-based musicians who allegedly made the video song, a recording studio and a local music label company.

    The FIR has been lodged under Indian Penal Code sections 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace), 506 (criminal intimidation), 500 (defamation), 120B (party to a criminal conspiracy).

    Charges under the Information Technology Act’s section 67 (publishing or transmitting obscene material) have also been invoked against the accused, according to the FIR, which has been accessed by PTI.

    “The names of Google officials were removed from the FIR the same day as it turned out that they were not involved in the case. Investigation on other points is underway,” an official from the local Bhelupur police station told PTI.

    New Delhi: In the Google trend, the highest search is being done on the corona worldwide, there is a question of number two in the whole world. When will corona end? On 26 January 2020, this question was asked for the first time on Corona and till date this question is being done from all over the world. Between March 22 and 28, this question was asked most often from Google.

    This question is most asked by India in the countries around the world. America is at the forefront of countries asking questions about the end of Corona. Britain is on second and India on third. In the case of Corona, the most asked questions around the world try to find the answer.

    Microsoft founder Bill Gates is also continuously speaking on Corona. He said, the Kovid-19 vaccine will be available early next year. It is possible that vaccine is available only to rich countries .. Initial vaccine will not be very effective against the virus. It is possible that after this research more effective medicine can be made. The world will get rid of this virus completely by the end of 2021.

    US President Donald Trump said, America will start the product of Corona virus vaccine by the end of this year. Its work will start before the year is over. The process of making a vaccine for this virus is in progress. Many researches are going on.

  • Google I/O 2018: What to expect

    Google’s annual developer conference ‘Google I/O 2018’ will take place at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California starting Tuesday, May 8. Here’s what you can expect:

    Android P

    Google is expected to unveil the next version of the Android OS. For now, the company has already released one developer preview of Android P, which focuses on major decision changes to the mobile operating system.

    The design of the iPhone X is such that there is no room left for the home button that has been synonymous with iPhones thus far. Therefore, Apple enabled gesture controls, where gestures from the bottom of the screen completed the functions that were previously controlled by the home button, such as going to the home screen, activating Siri or opening up the app switcher screen.

    Android P will natively enable similar functionality, thereby allowing Android OEMs to do away with hardware and on-screen navigation keys and enables full-screen displays. The gesture controls will allow the back and app-switcher on-screen buttons to be hidden away, thereby allowing a more effective use of the full-screen display.

    It’s worth noting that many Android OEMs including OnePlus, Vivo and Oppo have already enabled similar implementations of gesture navigation in their recent smartphones even on the framework of Android Oreo, so this is nothing new to Android. However, enabling this functionality on the basic framework of Android P will mean that manufacturers don’t have to specifically develop such functionality on their UI overlays.

    Artificial Intelligence

    CEO Sundar Pichai has previously stated that AI as the secret sauce to his company’s future. According to The Verge, the software that can see and understand the world, identify objects, and parse natural language will help Google products improve in the coming years. The company is already testing artificial intelligence with Google Assistant, Google Lens and more.
