Google Drive : pour éditer des documents sur mobile, il faudra des applications séparées

 Business : Nouvelle mise à jour pour Google Drive sur iOS, à venir sur Android. Désormais, Documents et Feuilles de calcul sont des applications séparées.

Google Drive a été mis à jour sur iOS, et la nouvelle version ne devrait pas tarder à arriver sur le Play Store d'Android également, rapportait ce week-end Android Police. Si des changements d'interface sont à prévoir, l'autonomisation des fonctions d'édition est la principale nouveauté.
Ainsi, ceux qui n'utilisent que la version de Google Drive auront régulièrement un écran proposant d'installer les versions autonomes de Documents et de Feuilles de Calcul - à chaque fois qu'ils tenteront d'afficher un document ou de l'éditer, en fait. Assez gênant, d'autant qu'il est désormais impossible d'éditer ses fichiers directement depuis Google Drive.
Mises à jour sans tout chambouler
Il faudra désormais installer les deux applications à part pour espérer tirer pleinement parti de l'outil de productivité de Google. Une version 'standalone' de "Présentation" est également attendu, et "Dessins" pourrait avoir sa propre application sous peu, selon quelques recherches faites par Android Police dans le code de l'application principale.
Cela devrait permettre à Google de mettre à jour les fonctionnalités de ses produits sans pousser une nouvelle version complète de Google Drive à chaque fois. Pour l'heure, la nouvelle politique est applicable à iOS, et doit arriver très prochainement sur Android.
Les applications installées sont évidemment liées à Google Drive : une tape sur un document à éditer et c'est bien l'application Documents ou sa contrepartie destinée aux tableurs Feuilles de Calcul qui s'ouvre. Pour le reste, les principales nouveautés sont essentiellement d'ordre ergonomique, et assez peu nombreuses - le bouton des paramètres part dans le menu latéral, notamment.

Samsung Level On Review

Samsung Level On Review Samsung is running on all cylinders in its new venture in the high-end mobile audio accessories space, where they recently introduced its Level series of accessories to compete against some of the more formidable and established names in the market – such as Beats, Monster, and Bose to name a few. Already, we’ve taken a close look at two products from its new line, the Samsung Level In and Level Box , that have proven to be surprisingly good when it comes down to audio quality. Hopefully, we can be assured that we’ll experience the same thing with the Samsung Level On, which as its name so happens to imply, is a pair of on-the-ear headphones. From the looks of it, Samsung has opted to go with a uniform design language with its new headphones line. Unlike the premium nature of its portable Bluetooth speaker, the Level Box, the Level On employs the same design characteristics as Samsung’s Level In headphones. Unfortunately, for a...

Apple iPhone 8 specifications may not have been finalized yet Initially, there were many reports suggesting the iPhone 8 launch would get delayed due to some manufacturing issue. Proving all the speculations wrong, last week Apple sent out invites for the launch event that is to take place on September 12. As usual, the name of the product was not mentioned in the official invite. However, judging from the company's past launching pattern, we are quite sure the iPhone 8 will get launched at the event. Now, with just 4 days left until the launch date, a report by The Investors has revealed a shocking piece of information. According to the publication, the specs line up of the iPhone 8 is not finalized yet. The website claims to have obtained the information from an anonymous representative from Apple's local supplier. The supplier says that the shipments of the 2017 iPhones started only from late August. He further added that its firms are yet to get exact details on t...

Facebook has been tweaking News Feed content to play with our emotions

Facebook has been tweaking News Feed content to play with our emotions Proof: Facebook affects your mood More negative posts in the news feed can affect user emitions A Facebook News Feed packed with negative status updates from peers is more likely to spur individual users to follow suit, a news study carried out by the social network has shown. The company's experiment artificially tweaked the feeds of 689,003 users to show more downcast or more positive updates from their friends over the period of a week. The results, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science showed a direct correlation between the emotions conveyed in the users' own posts over that period of time. While it's unsurprising that something sad or happy happening to a large number of close friends and acquaintances can affect our emotions, the study offers proof social media is affecting the mood of users, for better our worse. The authors wrote: "In an...
