Android O incoming – Google hosting live stream on Monday
It’s been nearly one hundred years since we’ve seen a solar eclipse at the same scale as the one that sweeps across the US on Monday. In other words, it’s a pretty big deal. Google thinks so too, and that’s why it is using the eclipse as a launching point for Android O.

Les données mobiles seraient bien plus énergivores que les datacenters
Sur internet, le principe du dernier kilomètre s'applique aussi. L'étape la plus énergivore du cloud ne serait ainsi pas dans les datacenters, mais dans la connexion aux réseaux sans fil (Wifi, mais surtout 3G et 4G).
The Shambles, one of Britain’s best preserved medieval streets, echoes with the lives of butchers
Travel to the city of York and walk up the street known as “Europe’s best preserved” or, simply, The Shambles. It’s no wonder that this cobbled-street gem in the heart of York has been given such a title, as it is the keeper of a 900-year-old tradition that today is cherished by tourists who admire such authenticity.

Allo Web is Finally Available to the Public, Works Like WhatsApp Web
A little less than 6 months later and Allo Web is finally available to the public. It should be noted that this is not a standalone web portal for the Allow messaging service (like we saw with Hangouts). Instead, it’s more like how WhatsApp Web handles things (your phone needs to be on and connected to the internet). https://mastodon.social/media/Lm_uCG9sJ87dTWvNtZg

The catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa: one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages
According to legend, a donkey dragging a cart filled with stones in Alexandria, Egypt, accidentally fell into a pit in the ground. If true, the donkey may have earned the honor of discovering one of the most fantastic sites in history. Namely, we are talking about the Kom El Shoqafa here, ancient catacombs unlike any other in the world of antiquity.
