YouTube Go Beta now available for download in India


Alphabet Inc's Google said on Tuesday it would roll out a mobile YouTube application designed for India, boosting the search company's presence in a burgeoning market with spotty Internet access. Since the fall, Google has been conducting extensive tests in India of YouTube Go, which allows users to save videos to watch offline and monitor their data use.
A beta version of the app has been released in the Google Play Store in India, and will be released in other emerging markets later, company executives said in an interview.

Youtube go on andriod

Google-owned YouTube will now let users download videos through its recently-launched YouTube Go app. The app is available for download from the Google Play Store, but is rolling out to limited users based on early access programme. YouTube Go allows downloading of videos directly to the smartphone's internal memory or the microSD card for offline viewing. While the app works similarly to YouTube's primary app, it prompts users to download videos instead of streaming them online.
For now, videos can be downloaded in two resolutions - 144p (Basic) and 360p (Standard). Downloading in HD quality isn't available yet.
The downloaded videos can also be shared with other users using Bluetooth. As mentioned in the app listing, YouTube Go requires internet access in order to perform a 15kb security check, once the video has been downloaded.

The new video-streaming service adds to the company's long term goal of making internet accessible to the 'Next Billion' users in India and enhancing the Google experience for them. YouTube Go is claimed to have been built from the ground-up, keeping Indian users in mind. At the time of showcasing the app, Google said that YouTube Go app will show trending videos right on the homescreen. The section highlights the most trending or popular videos in the user's geographical area. However, the location services need to be turned on for that. Google said that YouTube Go was created after a team of engineers and designers carried an extensive research in 15 cities across India. The app has been designed to be offline-first and can work not just in low connectivity areas, even when where there's no internet connection. YouTube Go in India may witness a lot of Indian users flocking towards it because of its data-saving features. Although the company already has features like smart offline video saving, the new app is likely to penetrate deeper into the Indian market.

Intel's extra-fast 3D storage comes to your desktop PC

It didn't take long for Intel's 3D  Optane storage  to reach a product you can realistically buy. The chip maker has  introduced  Optane modules designed to boost the performance of your desktop PC. They're strictly cache drives that only hold 16GB or 32GB (the server module packs 375GB), but don't let that dismay you. In theory, the combination of extremely low latency (under 10 microseconds) with solid state drive speeds (at least 900MB/s in peak sequential reads) should dramatically reduce loading times across the board. Compared to a PC with a conventional spinning hard drive, Intel claims that you should see a 28 percent overall performance boost, with storage up to 14 times faster. Common apps like the Chrome or Outlook should load five to six times faster, Intel says. And not surprisingly, Intel is making a big deal out of gaming performance. The company boasts that games can start up to 67 percent faster, and load levels up to 65 percent fa...

First extended trial of driverless shuttle bus to be tested in London

The first extended public trial of a driverless shuttle bus is being carried out in London.As part of the trial, about 100 people will travel in a prototype shuttle on a route in Greenwich over the next three weeks. The computer-controlled vehicle travels just over 16 kilometres per hour. It can seat four people and has no steering wheel or brake pedal.However, there will be a trained person on board who can stop the shuttle if required during the tests. Officials behind the project believe the shuttles could improve transport links in Greenwich.Passengers could begin using the system by 2019 on a trial basis and it may eventually be rolled out We hope to gain acceptance from members of the public for vehicles sharing this kind of space with them,” said Graeme Smith, chief executive at Oxbotica, which developed the technology behind the shuttle.During the trial, five cameras and three lasers will help the shuttle navigate a two-mile riverside path near London’s O2 Arena. ...
