Most Android devices, unfortunately, don’t ship with a battery percentage indicator enabled by default. This can prove to be an issue for a number of people who need to know exactly just how much juice their smartphone has on board throughout the day.

Many turn to downloading third-party applications to arm themselves with this information, but they don’t need to. There’s actually a battery meter hidden within the operating system’s settings and it’s super easy to activate.

Google-Now-nutrition

Last night, Google announced on its blog that it would be introducing an exciting new search feature for Google Now. The feature will highlight nutritional information, which will be displayed in the traditional card interface, and will provide users with drop-down menus where you can adjust the criteria of your search.


In case you haven’t heard, Google made a few changes to their privacy policy that has some people up in arms. No matter who you are, or what OS you use, chances are you use a Google product so this news is concerning. Now we say Google made changes but the reality of it is, Google didn’t really change much of anything. They haven’t changed what data they collect or any of your privacy settings. Everything remains the way it has always been, aside from the fact that they can now share your data across their own services. That means if you’ve been searching luxury cars on Google and head into Youtube, you’ll probably see video suggestions for Mercedes-Benz. To me, it’s more personalization rather than a cause for concern.
