Because previously, Google Apps didn’t have all the Google services, which included important Google products like Google Reader, Google Adwords, Google Adsense and many more. And this has always been a nagging pet-peeve of almost all the Google Apps users. Hence Google decided to finally take care of that by integrating Google Apps with the main Google Accounts infrastructure....

However, last week I came across another note taking app on the Play Store that made me realize even the best apps aren’t perfect. FloatNote is a floating note taking app for Android, but what’s different is that it triggers itself when someone is calling you. The note is there to remind you about anything important you need to discuss with that specific contact. For example, I often think of little things to share with my parents, but tend to forget them when I am actually talking to them....

There is a keyboard shortcut for creating new file and folders, copy filenames, go backward and upward in the explorer window etc....

But, I’ve now learned the error in my ways. I’m learning about cameras and checking out EXIF data from photos on Flickr and 500px to understand them better. I’m learning about focal length and aperture and other technical terms, and experimenting with mobile photography. When Google released their Camera app with Lens Blur feature, the internet made a lot of noise. Yes, HTC and Sony already had such features in place but they were device exclusive....

Photos that are uploaded using Android and iOS have the location data already attached, so Google Stories can utilize the tracking data. But if you used a DSLR or any other camera with no GPS, these records are missing in your photos, so your Stories will not be that creative. Chances are, Google might not even create stories out of them. If you love Google Stories like me, and would like to insert GPS location data into your photos, there’s a simple Picasa trick you can use....

On desktops, it’s pretty easy to block ads and tracking (I’d recommend you start out with Ghostery). On Android, you can’t enable OS wide ad blocking unless you’re rooted (browser ad blockers exist). Apple, whose business model isn’t dependent on ads, surprised everyone by introducing “Content Blockers” in iOS. What this feature does is it allows developers to create apps that will block ads and tracking directly in Safari (and apps that use Safari View Controller to load web pages)....
