You can now use Google Now to dictate messages on WhatsApp


Google is rolling out an update to Google Now that will allow you to dictate and send messages through a number of popular third-party messaging apps including WhatsApp, the company announced in a blog post. WeChat, Viber, Telegram, and NextPlus are the other initial third-party services that Google Now will be able to send messages through. Simply say "Ok Google, send a WhatsApp message to Tom," and Google will render and send the message through the proper service.


The feature is currently only available in English, but Google says it will be adding more languages and more apps in the future. This is just the latest step in Google's attempt to turn Google Now into your true personal assistant, and it's a smart move. Google is consistently improving and adding features to Google Now, at a faster rate than Microsoft is with Cortana, and much faster than Apple has with Siri. At this rate, it won't be a competition for much longer.

MongoDB and Hadoop

Traditional relational databases were ruling the roost until datasets were being reckoned in megabytes and gigabytes. However, as organizations around the world kept growing, a tsunami called “Big Data” rendered the old technologies unfeasible. When it came to data storage and retrieval, these technologies simply crumbled under the burden of such colossal amounts of data. Thanks to Hadoop, Hive and Hbase, these popular technologies now have the capability of handling large sets of raw unstructured data, efficiently, as well as economically. Image Credit :  http://www.compassitesinc.com Another aftermath of the above problems was the parallel advent of “Not Only SQL” or NoSQL databases. The primary advantage of the  NoSQL databases  is their mechanism that facilitates the storage and retrieval of data in the loser consistency model along with added benefits like horizontal scaling, better availability and quicker access. With its implementation in over five hun...

Google Translate adds 20 new languages to video text translation

The Google Translate app is about to get a lot more powerful. In an update released today, Google is adding dozens of new languages to some of the Translate app's most powerful features, and smoothing out the app to make it friendlier to slow connections. In particular, the update makes Translate's visual translation features significantly more powerful, letting mobile users translate 37 languages via photo, 32 via voice, and 27 through real-time video. Today's changes are updates to two features added to translate back in January: a real-time video translation feature called Word Lens and a conversation feature that translates bilingual speech in real-time. The Word Lens feature lets you point your phone's camera at a sign or any other text and have it translated into another language, with the translation appearing immediately on your screen. It's designed to work entirely offline, without making any queries to Google's servers — convenient for those b...
