welcome to alphabet city this is the show will recover everything related to alphabet Inc also known as Google's parent company I'm your guide ayahs actor today we're talking about Samsung's folding phone and YouTube things but our top story is about Google's browser first stop the chrome dome Google has enabled a feature called site isolation for the vast majority of desktop users of Chrome actually it's been enabled for 99% of users on Windows Mac Linux and Chrome OS what site isolation it runs a separate browser process for each Internet domain that makes it more difficult for a malicious site to steal data from other sites site isolation also helps protect chrome from meltdown and Specter remember that nightmare those two can allow a bad guy to read your computer's memory due to a flaw in modern processors so why do you care about site isolation this security measure leads to higher overall memory use that's right chrome is eating even more ram than it used to Google says it may be a 10 to 13 percent increase in RAM usage so the good news is Chrome is more secure the bad news is it's gobbling up ram to do it wondering about that one percent who don't have site isolation setup Google says we're keeping a 1% hold back for now to monitor and improve performance Google says it's looking to extend a site isolation to Chrome for Android as well next stop the often traveled Android Avenue a new report by the Bell says the foldable galaxy X will be released next year the report also says Samsung is deciding whether to introduce the folder as a standard product or a limited one the Bell says that it's not just Samsung prepping a folding phone but Apple and Chinese companies are doing the same thing Samsung has been quite public about releasing a folding phone it even created a promo video with one it's only a matter of time before it gets released next up X crossing two companies are spinning out of X alphabets R&D unit project loon and wing will now be separate companies under alphabets umbrella we talked a bit about Project loon last time it delivers Internet using balloons in the stratosphere yes I realized that sentence sounds ridiculous but that's what loon does then there's wing wing is a drone delivery system that uses all-electric drones that fly up to 120 km/h at Heights up to 400 feet above the ground so why were these two projects ready to graduate from X a spokesperson from X told me that both wing and loon have advanced to the point where the risk has shifted from how do we do this to how do we take this product to market X will continue to work on other projects like glass Enterprise Edition and Makani if you're wondering about the Makani project it uses kites to generate electricity from the wind that's right energy kites let's head on over to YouTube Union there was this thing on TV called the world cup you might have heard of it during a game between England and Croatia Google streaming video service YouTube TV took a dive for about an hour Google sent an email to those who have YouTube TV and said it will give them a free week of service YouTube TV cost about 40 bucks per month so this is like a $10 value there's also a new tool coming to YouTube meant to protect content creators YouTube will scan for foolery uploads of your content the tool is called copyright match the tool copyright match will scan other videos on the site to see if your video was reposted if YouTube finds a match it will appear in a tab called matches then you decide what happens next last stop comment code this is the part of the show where we shine a spotlight on the best audience in the world you guys Nathaniel said why would you need incognito mode on YouTube you can't even watch porn on YouTube that's the most useless feature ever well Nathaniel I think the incognito mode can be useful so not every video you watch influences YouTube's recommendations mr.
