well if the rumors are true in the note 7 actually does have an iris scanner will that be more secure than a fingerprint sensor and if so how the news that the note 7 will have an iris scanner comes via The Korea Times which also claims that the camera manufacturer called patron will be charged with the task of supplying this component now this new should not come as a big surprise given that Samsung has already announced the galaxy tab iris a two-hundred-dollar tablet that is designed for Indian govern officials that also has a so-called iris scanner in recent weeks renderings of a supposed galaxy note 7 have appeared which include two front facing cameras thus ramping up the rumors about this iris scanner now why would an iris scanner be better than fingerprint sensors well the Korean Times pointed out that quote compared to fingerprint scanning technology which works by recognizing 40 traits on a fingerprint the iris scanner recognizes 266 traits on an iris meaning the latter offers greater accuracy and security unquote well if you've been wondering about what the end could be an Android n we have some clues back in May google announced that it would be doing something a little different with the naming process for the next version of android instead of thinking of the name internally this time around the company is letting users vote on their favorite sweet treats that start with the letter n while Google still hasn't decided on an official name at least not publicly android vp hiroshi lock heimer is trying his best to keep the hype train rolling on twitter lock heimer has tweeted out a series of not-so-subtle images that all feature the name Nutella in some way the first as you can see here is a photo of a menu that features a dish called Nutella pizza and the next screenshot from a Chrome OS device running a number of different Android applications check out the google search window in the back now before you get all too excited about android nutella you should know that google has not been above trolling us in the past and sending us on red herring suggesting that marshmallow was really milkshake so remember this could be a ploy now let's actually talk about Android and itself in an announcement post Google notes that all the new API is introduced an Android n are now final which means developers can start compiling their apps to test against the official Android and API developers can also publish updates to the google play store if you are a developer and you want to make sure that your updated application runs well on Android n you want to look into using google play's beta testing feature so what's new in the fourth Android end developer preview it looks like this google is working hard to make sure that android runs faster in this case in two specific ways one when you are trying to load different languages in the past google would load all languages at once but if you don't need all those languages that's kind of wasted time and resources so now android allows you to load just one or two languages the selected languages that you actually care about and secondly android is trying to be more efficient when it comes to beacons so when you are shopping at a mall or in different stores soon you'll start to get beacons or signals from the shop about possible coupons or sales or something like that and android is now limiting these clients are these api's from sending at least five notifications every 30 seconds so you can't be bombarded with a bunch of beacons there by draining your battery unnecessarily move it on the news about now on tap which is available without Google now access now on tap is a more recent service launched by the search giant and allows you to get more information about what's on your screen instead of having to go and search for it elsewhere the idea is to make the internet more personal and easier to work with for example imagine if you were having a chat with a friend via SMS and they invite you to meet them at the movies now on tap will use this information to offer a calendar entry to go to the cinema with that person it will also show you information about the movie including reviews YouTube clips and other information that's relevant to that discussion you see until recently you needed to have the full google now system activated including the cards to use now on tap the two systems were interlinked if you disabled the show cards option in the settings of google now then it would disable now on tap however Google is updated the app separated the need for users to have google now card switched on the new switch allows just now on tap to be enabled of course if you want the full experience of Google now you really should enable both Google now and now on tap you guys remember from like 15 years ago when people were making money hand over fist in the.com bubble remember we didn't call it a dotnet bubble or dot-org
