Incremental update on YouTube Android app revamps seek bar

YouTube updates its Android app to change the way the seek bar looks. The seek bar is the timeline with a button you can move to skip through parts of the video. With the 10.33 version, the button goes from white to a red ball. The bar seems to be thinner from the previous version as well. User interface-wise, there doesn’t seem to anything else introduced in the latest update. It’s currently available as an APK file over at APK Mirror. If you aren’t comfortable using APK files, the update should probably show up on your Android device soon.

Google now shows tweets in desktop search results 

A few months back Google started adding recent and relevant tweets to your searches on mobile. This time, Google's bringing that feature to desktop search results as well. If you type in a person and the word Twitter, you might see their recent tweets. But if you type in something more general like NASA Twitter, for example, you'll get both tweets from NASA's official Twitter account and tweets from other users talking about the space agency. This new feature should be rolling out to all users.
