Google Now update adds car rental, concert tickets, more commute cards Aug 22nd 2013, 17:51, by Dima Aryeh Google Now is Google’s intelligent search app made to provide information before you ask for it, and it works pretty damn well. It populates the screen with relevant cards. Users can customize the experience by selecting which cards they want to see from a menagerie of options. A new update rolling out to those on Android 4.1 or higher will add quite a few more cards to the mix, making your life a little easier. Two awesome new cards are for car rentals and concert tickets. If you happen to use Gmail for either of these purchases, you’ll have a card in Google Now giving you information with buttons to get even more. The car rental card will act much like a boarding pass card for a plane flight, if you’ve ever used it. Commute cards have also been improved. Public transit cards will now show you the last train or bus available, just so you won’t miss it. There is also a new feature that allows you to share your commute with friends and family. So when you commute, they’re informed of it. There are a few extra features included in this update. When searching for music or movies, a “remind me” button will pop up. Press it, and you’ll be reminded when the album or movie is released. The TV card can also now identify specific news or music playing on your TV. And lastly, NCAA football scores will be available for sports fans at the start of football season. Once again, Google has improved an app that has made many lives quite a lot easier. With more and more cards, we’re ever closer to being fully informed at all times. That may be good or bad in your opinion, but it’s pretty awesome and surreal. I know that Google Now has assisted me quite often in life, but has it improved yours? Update rolling out to new Nexus 7, claims to fix multitouch issues Aug 22nd 2013, 16:57, by Dima Aryeh When the second generation Nexus 7 was launched, it was plagued with many problems. Factory images weren’t being released, people complained about multitouch issues and the GPS cut out for many. Google seems to have worked hard to make the device better, and the first two issues have been fixed. Previously, Google posted the factory images for the device on their site. Today, they’re beginning to roll out a new update for the tablet. The update is Android build JSS15Q and is made specifically to fix the multitouch issues many people experienced. And though not everyone has received it, there are already reports that it does indeed fix the issue! People had many theories about why these issues were present, but it was probably something as simple as a bad undervolt on the touchscreen controller. That’s why it worked better plugged in; it received the proper voltage. We’re glad to see the update fixing people’s issues without the need for an RMA. Have you received this update? Did it fix your issues?
