Alphabet Shuts Down Google Plus Due To Private Data Leak

Alphabet Inc will eliminate the consumer version of its erroneous social network Google Plus, and made its data sharing policies stricter, as they announced yesterday that a private data leak affecting at least 500,000 people happened. According to the announcement, several hundred external developers accessed users’ data.

In a review posted by Google on its official blog, the giant Internet company announced that no developer exploited the vulnerability or misused data. Also, according to the Wall Street Journal, Google did not reveal its security issues because it feared regulatory scrutiny.

Google did not want a comparison with Facebook

Google, the renowned Internet giant, feared of people comparing it with Facebook which was involved in a private data leak scandal along with Cambridge Analytica. According to the Wall Street Journal, Sundar Pichai, the Google chief executive, was briefed on this problem, but Google offered no official statement.

“Users have the right to be notified if their information could have been compromised. This is a direct result of the scrutiny that Facebook dealt with regarding the Cambridge Analytica scandal,” explained Jacob Lehmann, the Managing Director at the legal firm Friedman CyZen.

Google Plus and its version for businesses

Google launched its Google Plus social network in 2011 in a movement to compete with Facebook which, back then, became the world’s first social media platform.

Google Plus adopted Facebook’s status updates and news feeds, while it also allowed people to organize groups of friends into what the Internet giant called “circles.” However, Facebook implemented many features in comparison with Google Plus. Furthermore, the Google Plus bug found this Monday exposed users to a private data leak, such as name, email address, occupation, gender, and age, as reported by Google.

The Google Plus for enterprises would remain valid, while the Google company would implement new features to forbid private data leak.

Google Pixel Slate Chromebook Images Leaked Online Two Days Before Official Launch

While only two days apart us from the MadeByGoogle event (scheduled on October 9th), Google Pixel Slate Chromebook images leaked online ahead of its official launch. Although many leaks revealed some other Google products, including Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL or the third-generation Chromecast or Google Home Hub smart display, we’ve seen nothing about the upcoming Google Pixel Slate Chromebook. That, until now!

Google Pixel Slate Chromebook, codenamed Nocturne, is nothing else than the 2018 remake of the Pixelbook, the Google tablet PC. However, even though not many leaks on this one have emerged online, we know something about it. And now, we learned even more about this new Google Pixel Slate as some renderers leaked on MySmartPrice.

Improved design for the new Google Pixel Slate Chromebook

Regarding its design, the upcoming Google Pixel Slate Chromebook looks like a hybrid between Google Pixel C and the Google Pixelbook, as XDA-Developers reported.

Reportedly, Google Pixel Slate comes with a larger display with a 3:2 aspect ratio and a rear camera on one of the top corners and a selfies camera on top of the front side. Also, the new Google tablet PC would boast a metallic build. Also, it’s quite possible the new Pixel Slate to boast a fingerprint sensor, too.

Google Pixel Slate Chromebook to run a tablet-optimized Chrome OS

The upcoming Google Pixel Slate Chromebook would run a Chrome OS, specially optimized for tablets, instead of the Android Marshmallow/Nougat/Orea build on Google Pixel C. However, don’t worry, the new Google tablet PC will also support all Android apps, so you can run your favorite applications on it without a glitch.

Also, similar to Google Pixel C, this Pixel Slate Chromebook would also have a detachable keyboard. Besides, reportedly, it will boast two front-facing stereo speakers and a USB Type-C port.

Unfortunately, Google revealed nothing regarding the hardware specs of the new Google Pixel Slate Chromebook but, according to some benchmark tests, it might boast similar specs to those of the last year’s Google tablet PC.

Red Dead Redemption 2 To Feature 50 Unique Weapons

Red Dead Redemption 2 is set in a Wild West open world, and the best part of this would be the lawlessness that describes that period of the American history. And the Wild West, with its anarchy and all, is about killing. And, luckily, there would be tons of ways to kill others in the new Rockstar game since Red Dead Redemption 2 will feature 50 unique weapons.

RockstarIntel.com reported that on Twitter where they said that “there are over 50 weapons in Red Dead Redemption 2.”

As you may remember, the first Red Dead Redemption title featured 36 different weapons, after a DLC, while the Red Dead Revolver only boasted 28 guns. Now, the third installment in the franchise is about to feature 50 since the beginning, a figure which might get higher eventually with the launch of DLCs.

And, as Rockstar Games is commonly doing it, we’ll have some realistic-looking weapons designed in great detail in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Red Dead Redemption 2 to come out this month

The new western game in the Red Dead Redemption series will launch on October 26th for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, while there is nothing revealed about the PC and Nintendo Switch release.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is set in America, 1899. According to the official synopsis, “the end of the Wild West era has begun as lawmen hunt down the last remaining outlaw gangs. Those who will not surrender or succumb are killed.”

As for the storyline of the upcoming installment of the renowned Rockstar Games franchise, the same official synopsis says the following.

“After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive.”

What’s certain at this point is that the new Red Dead Redemption 2 will feature 50 unique weapons, while the plot promises for a fascinating story.
