Microsoft's new web browser is up to 112% faster than Google Chrome

Google's Chrome web browser is the most popular web browser in the world right now, according to StatCounter. But Microsoft's new web browser for Windows 10, called Edge, might prove to be superior.



In a Windows blog post on Wednesday, Gabe Aul, Microsoft's head of the Windows Insider program, announced a new set of benchmarks for Microsoft Edge, the company's new web browser made for Windows 10.

Microsoft Edge showed significant performance gains over Google Chrome, but what's most impressive is that Microsoft used benchmarks created by Apple and Google: Edge was tested using Google Octane, Apple JetStream, and WebKit Sunspider. That last one is actually a benchmark created by Apple's WebKit development team that's intended for the iOS, Mac, and Windows versions of Safari, Apple's web browser.

According to the benchmark results, Microsoft Edge was 112% faster than Google Chrome on WebKit Sunspider, 11% faster on Google Octane, and 37% faster on Apple JetStream.

"We're really pleased with those performance gains and we hope that you'll enjoy faster browsing with Microsoft Edge along with the many great features we've added over the last several builds," Aul said.

If these results are accurate, Microsoft Edge could soon be the web browser of choice for Windows users, considering its power and efficiency. At the very least, these kinds of performance improvements could spur other web browsers like Chrome to innovate and improve their own products. But as it stands right now, this looks like a great reason to try Windows 10 when it launches later this year.

Windows 10 will be a free download for Windows 7 and Windows 8 users.

BSNL to set up 40,000 Wi-Fi hotspots

Union Minister for Communications Ravi Shankar Prasad launches Wi-Fi Interet facility in the Taj Mahal complex.

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. plans to set up 40,000 Wi-Fi hotspots across the country in three years at a cost of Rs. 6,000 crore to provide seamless Internet connectivity.

The plan is part of efforts revive the company, Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said on the sidelines of the launch of Wi-Fi at Taj Mahal on Tuesday.

Anupam Srivastava, Chairman and Managing Director, BSNL, said the tender for the project was likely to be floated by July.

“Initially, we plan to set up the hotspots in PPP [public-private partnership] mode. The investment made by private operators will be in addition to ours,” he said.

The public sector company will set up another 2,500 Wi-Fi hotspots in 250 tourist and religious locations at a cost of Rs. 500 crore by next March. These include the Jaganath temple in Puri, Nasik (where Khumb Mela is held), Khajuraho, Fatehpur Sikri and Hampi.

At Taj Mahal, the company’s Wi-Fi service will be free for 30 minutes during a 24-hour block three times a month, which visitors can utilise in multiple sessions. After the free usage, a subscriber can continue using the service by opting for subscription plans of Rs. 20 to Rs. 70 valid from 30 minutes to a day.

Facebook's new photo app uses facial recognition technology

Social networking site Facebook has launched a standalone photo sharing app that makes use of facial recognition technology.

The app called 'Moments' will allow Apple and Android users to quickly share pictures privately among friends who are in the frame as the app sifts through images using facial recognition, somewhat similar to the "tagging" feature on Facebook .

Product manager Will Ruben in his blog post, explaining the usability of the app, said at any group outing or wedding, friends try and get the same group picture clicked from their respective smartphones as sharing the pictures later is cumbersome.

"Now sharing the pictures of your friends from your smartphone and getting the ones that your friends clicked with you in the group will be easy," he said.

The app also allows you to create groups and syncs photos of your friends. This will ensure easy access to pictures clicked from multiple smartphones.

'Moments', launched in United States on Monday, is expected to be rolled out in other countries over time.

Now stories on which you linger for longer than usual will appear on the newsfeed of your friends because Facebook believes that it is worth sharing, and engaging.

While this may not be a move to hinder casual stalking, it sure will affect the way we use Facebook.

The update is a result of trying to bring to light those posts which people spend time reading, but do not comment or share because they might not want to indulge into debate or controversy. This is an attempt to highlight such valuable content to the forefront.

So next time you stare at your ex’s status for more than usual, be careful! Facebook is watching you, and so are the friends on your list!

Latest Android wear update brings serious relevance to wearables

A new update is making its way into Android wear (specifically the LG Watch Urbane, Moto 360, Sony Smartwatch 3, and the Samsung Gear Live) that does something very special--activates dormant Wi-Fi chips.

That's right, dormant Wi-Fi chips will now be active.

There are plenty of other updates worthy of mention:

1. Ability to pair more than one wearable to a single phone
2. Wrist-flicking gesture support
3. Apps remain visible until dismissed
4. Swipe left to access apps and contacts
5. Receive notifications, even when you're using something else on the wearable
6. Emoji drawing
7. Apps can work in black and white ambient mode

But even with the list of improvements, it is still the activation of the Wi-Fi chips that should have your interest piqued. Why? Until now, the only way to receive notifications from your phone was if the phone was near enough to the wearable for a bluetooth connection. That limitation is now gone. As long as your wearable is connected to a wireless network, notifications on the wearable will update. Your phone could be miles away and you'll still get updates.

The playing field for Android wearables has now become far more interesting. Consider this scenario: You don't have your phone with you. You're wearing your smartwatch and you're connected to a wireless network. On that wearable you have a VOIP app (not that one exists at the moment). You open open the app and place a call.

Another idea: You've left the office for lunch and neglected to bring your phone. You need to set a reminder. You have your watch and a nearby wireless. Set the reminder and allow that wireless connection to send said reminder to your smartphone.

The tether has been severed. The possibilities for Android wearables and mobility have shattered the ceiling. What this does is open wide the door for users not having to even carry their phones with them, enjoy much faster data transfer speeds, interaction with network-aware devices, the list goes on and on.

Anyone that has worked with bluetooth enough knows how flaky it can be. It's always been one of those ideas that is far better on paper than in reality. Wi-fi, on the other hand, works and works well. By activating wireless on smartwatches, Google has ensured their wearables will enjoy greater features, speed, and reliability.

I firmly believe that Google was smart to withhold Wi-fi until now. Not only is this the perfect time, due to the Apple Watch, the software stack itself is only now evolving into a truly solid and viable platform. With the addition of Wi-Fi, Android Wear could easily rise above Apple's entry in the wearable platform.

NOTE: How do you enable Wi-Fi? If you happen to have one of the supported devices, all you need to do is enable Cloud sync and wireless come to life.

Some have proclaimed the awakening of Wi-Fi to be a moment of panic on Google's part. With the Apple Watch out and selling well, many feel Google was desperate to add something new and shiny to the table. Thing is, Wi-Fi on Android wear was announced quite some time ago. This is Google making good on a promise and that promise will make good on the Android wear platform.

Although I am still skeptical about the whole of wearables, that skepticism is growing thinner and thinner every six or so weeks. Now that the hardware is up to the spec of the platform, it's now time for Google to concentrate its wearable efforts on the software side of things. Android wear needs third-party apps to really bring the platform to life--third-party apps that can seriously take advantage of available wireless.

If you happen to have a supported device, the Wi-fi activating update should start trickling in over the next few weeks. Once your Android wear device is wireless-ready, you'll most likely feel like you are dealing with a completely different platform.

What do you think? Is the addition of wireless connectivity to Android wear a game changer? Or is the wearable platform destined to fall?
