IOS 11 vs ANDROID OREO


Flashiest new features

Android Oreo:
  • Shrinking a video or Google Maps navigation into a floating thumbnail so you can keep an eye on it while you do other things (called picture-in-picture)
  • Auto-selecting a name, phone number, address or business to copy/paste
  • Brush up on everything new in Android Oreo
iOS 11:
  • Paying your friends in iMessage using Apple Pay
  • Playing audio on multiple speakers in your house
  • Here's everything new in iOS 11
Winner so far: Android Oreo. Picture-in-picture and the enhanced copy/paste are little things that can go a long way in making the phone more useful day-to-day. And unlike iOS, Android phones could already play music from the phone to multiple speakers (as long as they're Chromecast-compatible).
However, peer-to-peer payments in iMessage is a great addition to the native messaging app (which Android lacks on all phones).

Voice assistant



Apple has Siri and Android has Android Assistant (and Google Voice Search and Google Now). Siri gets a bunch of updates to make it look better, give it a new male voice and guess what you might want to know next. Google Assistant will get a mode that can identify objects (called Google Lens) and the ability to type queries, not just speak them.
Winner so far: Android Oreo, even though voice additions are ho-hum. The underlying platform is so much more expansive, accurate and knowledgeable than Siri. At WWDC, Apple missed an opportunity to showcase the digital assistant it helped make a sensation in the first place. It'll have a chance to redeem itself in September during the expected reveal of the new iPhone.

Momo suicide game

Microsoft clamps down on sick 'Momo suicide game' in 'Minecraft' Microsoft is clamping down on the sick “Momo suicide challenge,” which recently infiltrated the wildly popular online game “Minecraft.”The tech giant owns “Minecraft” developer Mojang. The vile “Momo suicide game” has been garnering attention after spreading on WhatsApp, prompting police warnings. "Momo" is a viral challenge that asks people to add a contact via WhatsApp - they are then   urged   to commit self-harm or suicide. The "game" has fueled comparisons to the sinister " Blue Whale challenge " that led to reports of suicides in Russia and the U.S, as well as the online fictional character of "Slender Man." In 2014 two 12-year-old girls in Wisconsin  attempted to kill   a classmate in an attempt to please the horror character. The Buenos Aires Times recently  reported  that police in Argentina are investigating whether “Momo” is linked to the suicide of a 12-y...

Java Functional Interfaces

  The term   Java functional interface   was introduced in Java 8. A   functional interface   in Java is an interface that contains only a single abstract (unimplemented) method. A functional interface can contain default and static methods which do have an implementation, in addition to the single unimplemented method. Here is a Java functional interface example: public interface MyFunctionalInterface { public void execute(); } The above counts as a functional interface in Java because it only contains a single method, and that method has no implementation. Normally a Java interface does not contain implementations of the methods it declares, but it can contain implementations in default methods, or in static methods. Below is another example of a Java functional interface, with implementations of some of the methods: public interface MyFunctionalInterface2{ public void execute(); public default void print(String text) { System.out.println(t...
