There Should Be "Strong Privacy Protections" for Google Glass Facial Recognition Apps

Google Glass Facial Recognition Apps. Google revealed that it won’t allow Google Glass apps that use facial recognition features for the time being, as long as “strong privacy protections” aren’t in place.

Google Glass Facial Recognition Apps. “The news is not unsurprising considering the on-going privacy-related debate we’re witnessing in connection with Google Glass. Even at Google I/O, the company tried to address such privacy concerns for the wearable gadget that can take easily take pictures and record videos, as some people including the U.S. Congress are afraid of the potentially malicious uses of Glass that could affect one’s privacy.” Chris Smith in his report to Android Authority.

He added, “Google did not elaborate on what “strong privacy protections” would be, and how they’re supposed to work when it comes to facial recognition features. Suffice to say that for now Google will not officially approve any apps that make use of the technology.”

Here’s Google’s full message related to facial recognition and privacy:

When we started the Explorer Program nearly a year ago our goal was simple: we wanted to make people active participants in shaping the future of this technology ahead of a broader consumer launch. We’ve been listening closely to you, and many have expressed both interest and concern around the possibilities of facial recognition in Glass. As Google has said for several years, we won’t add facial recognition features to our products without having strong privacy protections in place. With that in mind, we won’t be approving any facial recognition Glassware at this time.

Let’s here it from potential Glass buyers, what are your thoughts on Google Glass so far?

Galaxy Note III Appears in Samsung Code Aside Tab 3

Galaxy Note III. The Samsung Galaxy Note III has been strongly suggested by SamMobile to work with a 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 5.99-inch display with 1080p resolution, and a 13-megapixel camera.

Galaxy Note III. The inevitable Samsung Galaxy Note III complete with its code-name SM-N9000 riding in the source code of Samsung Kazakhstan, of all places, along with some other rumored devices. Here we also see the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1, 8.0, and 7.0, along with the Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom – a replacement for the Samsung Galaxy Camera.

“The Samsung Galaxy line of smartphone-sized devices has been an apparent success for the brand, bringing on a second round last year (two years ago the original Galaxy Note was introduced), along with two sizes of Galaxy Note tablets. As the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 appeared with styling not unlike that of the GALAXY S 4, Samsung all but guaranteed the release of another new Galaxy Note “phablet”.” Chris Burns reports to Slash Gear.

According to this leak, all we can really tell is that the device exists – or will exist soon. The first and more sensible place would be at the June 20th event Samsung has planned for new Galaxy and ATIV devices. The second place the Galaxy Note III could be revealed is at IFA 2013.

He added, “Samsung has been turning toward a model in which they announce their hero devices at their own, separate events over the past year or so, so sticking with IFA and going it alone (in this already announced event) for the Galaxy Note III are just as likely possibilities as one another.”

Inside we’ll either find Android 4.2.2 or Android 4.3, depending on when the device is released. Then it goes without saying that the Note III will work with the newest in Samsung’s S-Pen technology.

New Google Nexus 7 Will Be Revealed at Computex

New Google Nexus 7 . According to analysts, ASUS will be introducing the new generation of the Google Nexus 7 during the Computex show that runs through next Saturday.

New Google Nexus 7 . Asus could unveil the new Nexus 7 model at Computex in a few days but the source isn’t really providing that many details to work with.

The publication writes: “Those waiting for a refresh of the Nexus line of tablets could be in for some great news in the coming week. Analysts expect Asus to launch a refreshed Nexus 7 tablet at the Computex trade fair which will be held from June 4 to 8, 2013 in Taipei.”

“The devices would be priced between $100 and $150 and could pack MediaTek SoCs.” Chris Smith in his report to Android Authority. He added, “While the report doesn’t sound that promising, we’re not saying that a new Nexus 7 isn’t coming. We’ve seen an other analyst detail the potential specs of the new tablet, and the next-gen device has apparently been spotted at the Bluetooth SIG already.”

Furthermore, a rumor that emerged soon after Google I/O 2013 said that the tablet would arrive at some point in July, and ship with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean on board. A different report also said that the handset would be launched in the third quarter of the year.

“Our biggest clue that it is indeed the Optimus L9 II and not some Chinese knockoff is that it has a sticker right above the display that says “L9II EU.” Also, based on results that recently appeared on the web site gfxbench.com, it looks like the phone is already fit for some action.” David Gonzales in his reports to Android Authority.

The LG Optimus L9 is a 4.7-inch Android device uses a 1GHz dual core Cortex A9 processor and a PowerVR SGX540 GPU. It come with 1GB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, and just recently received its highly-awaited update to Android Jelly Bean.

1. 4.7-inch 720p HD IPS screen

2. 1.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 CPU

3. 1GB RAM

Leak Images of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, Huwei Ascend W2, and LG Optimus

Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, Huwei Ascend W2, and LG Optimus. THERE IS A RUMORED OF THE LEAK IMAGES OF SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 ACTIVE, HUWEI ASCEND W2, AND LG OPTIMUS.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, Huwei Ascend W2, and LG Optimus. “We may be in the midst of the weekend, but that doesn’t mean that the leaks are slowing down. Several new images of unannounced smartphones have made their way online the in the past day or so, and I’ve rounded them up in a single, easy to digest post. First up is a side view of a handset that we’ve been seeing a lot of lately, the Samsung Galaxy S 4 Active. This new image from @evleaks shows the device with a teal back plate, which differs from the original red-orange unitwe saw as well as the gray AT&T version that surfaced recently.”, Alex Wagner report to phonedog.

Moreover in his report, He said “There’s still no word on when the Galaxy S 4 Active might be formally introduced, but Samsung’s “Premiere 2013″ event on June 20 is certainly a possibility. The rumored specs for the device claim that it’ll sport features like a 5-inch 1080p display and 1.9GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor, suggesting that it may very well be a ruggedized version of Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S 4. That’s exciting news for anyone in the market for a phone that can take a beating, as the Galaxy S 4 Active may offer a both a toughened body and high-end performance, which is a combo that we don’t see terribly often. Moving on down the line, we’re going to make the jump to Windows Phone. A pair of images have been posted by @evleaks recently that show the Huawei Ascend W2, a sibling to the recently-released Ascend W1. These images tease a colorful device that may be offered in yellow and blue versions. Details on the Ascend W2 are light, but according to WPCentral, some of the W2′s rumored specs include a 4.3-inch 720p display, dual-core 1.5GHz processor and 8-megapixel camera. All of those features add up to make a device that’s a bit higher-end than its Ascend W1 counterpart.”

Rounding out this leaky Sunday is a purported close-up shot of the LG Optimus G2. The photo, first posted byTechTastic a few days ago and then shared again today by @evleaks, shows the top half of a device with an earpiece, camera and sensor layout that’s similar to previous images of the Optimus G2. There’s not much in the way of new information about this device in this new photo, but the kernel crash screen does include a step that says “Send e-mail to G2-SW-Stability@lge.com,” suggesting that we may indeed be looking at the Optimus G2.

So, after getting a look at these three upcoming smartphones, which one are you most excited for?
