‘GG1’ is the new Google Glass?

After what was deemed a rather unsuccessful outing for Google Glass, people deemed to have written it off. But Google isn’t ready to thrown in the towel just yet. Droid Life went through FCC listings and found a Google device with the code A4R-GG1. GG1 might be a giveaway but there is nothing concrete yet. But the hardware itself is rather telling. It isn’t classified as a smartphone, tablet, or media device but it packs in dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth LE, and a built-in rechargeable battery. Plus, the aspect ratio of the display is rather similar to Google Glass’ display. Tony Fadell has plans to reimagine the wearable, we’re hoping this is the start of that and we get to see it soon.

Sketches of the OnePlus Two surface

OnePlus’ next flagship device, the OnePlus Two, is set to make its debut real soon. And while we know it’ll reportedly have a metal build and fingerprint scanner, not much is known about the device’s design. Business Insider was able to get their hands on leaked sketches of the smartphone. One of it shows the stainless steel bottom portion, USB Type C connector, dual lens camera, and the fingerprint sensor. It looks rather similar to the OnePlus One so it would seem they focused more on upping the specs and boosting marketing for this one.

Judge: Uber can't be shut down in Toronto

Uber can't be shut own in Toronto as per a judge's 30 page ruling which cites that  the city of Toronto can't do anything to shut down Uber unless they change current bylaws. Uber is a globally disruptive transtportation service that makes getting a cab, limo, or SUV easier using and app on a smartphone and a toghtly integrated ratings standard for riders and drivers.

Superior Court Judge Sean Dunphy rejected arguments that Uber is required to have a taxi license in order to operate. The nature of Uber's service, which is carried out over smartphones and apps, separate it from traditional taxis, Judge Dunphy contends that Uber doesn't fit the definition of a taxi company and therefore current Judge: taxi regulations don't apply to it.

Apple’s latest trademark hints at El Capitan coming to the iPad

Apple has vehemently said in the past that they plan to keep iOS and OS X separate. But a new trademark filing might see a crossover. According to the European Patent & Trademark Office’s official El Capitan filing, tablets have been added as a category that can be covered by the operating system’s trademark. Of course, Apple might just be covering all its bases but there is a possibility of this happening. There have been incessant rumours that a 12.9-inch iPad Pro will be making a debut, perhaps putting in Apple’s desktop OS on it might make it an even more viable device.
