- Google adds Earth support and usability tweaks to Drive, new search options in Gmail
Google doesn’t usually buy into the whole “lets package a bunch of new features into a major upgrade” thing. So, while the ability to search your Gmail based on the size of a message or have finer grained control over the time-related filters may not seem like a huge deal, remember this tiny new tweak is part of a laundry list of improvements made over the last year. The crew at Mountain View hasn’t forgotten about Drive either. Starting today you can now search documents according to the names of people you’ve shared them with and even open up Google Earth files (.kml and .kmz) right in your browser. A number of small usability improvements have also been made, including the ability to create a new folder right from the organize pane (finally!). You can even drag and drop entire folders from your desktop to Drive, so long as you’re running Chrome. For a few more details check out the source links.

Google 1, 2 | Email this | Comments - Texas Instruments to cut 1,700 jobs as part of its shift away from mobile
Texas Instruments signaled its intentions to back away from the volatile mobile market as the summer came to a close. Unfortunately, we’re now learning that the shift comes at a price — as part of a wider set of cost-cutting measures, TI is shedding roughly 1,700 jobs worldwide. The chip designer hasn’t said how soon the layoffs take effect, but these and the overall budget trimming should lead to savings of about $450 million per year by the end of 2013. That’s not going to be reassuring to those who’ll soon find themselves looking for work, although it may be necessary for TI to survive when the market for off-the-shelf mobile processors is rapidly thinning out.

Weekly poll results: the Galaxy S21 Ultra is the favorite, but popularity of the S21 trio is in question
The results from last week’s poll are exactly what you would expect – the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is easily the fan favorite of the three S21 siblings. It caught some criticism, but it is still the phone to have for many. And most of them don’t want to wait for reviews, so they already pre-ordered the phone. Others holding off until the price drop. And, of course, some will wait for the phone to be tested – our full review is almost complete, in the mean time you can read or watch our hands-on. S Pen support is proving to be a welcome addition, though having to slot it in a...
Flashback: the first gaming phones quickly went from Tetris to downloadable 3D games
Video games have gone through many transformations - from the arcades, to computers at home, to handheld consoles and now phones. Of course, the first phones to play games were a lot more modest than the current RGB-flashing, air-cooled monsters. There's some debate as to which phone was first, but we do know that it came out in 1994. One contender is the Hagenuk MT-2000, made by a Danish company. Yes, a company from Denmark that rivaled Finland's Nokia (both launched their first GSM phones within weeks of each other). An instant classic was chosen for MT-2000's game - Tetris, which had...
Android 12 could finally bring the double tap on the back gesture
Before the stable version of Android 11 was officially released, a neat double tap on the back of the phone gesture has been introduced in the developer preview. Sadly, the feature didn't make the cut. so there was no replacement for Google Pixel's edge squeeze gesture that got axed with the most recent Pixels. However, there's still a chance for this functionality with Android 12. 9to5Google found that the feature codenamed "Columbus" will be re-introduced with Android 12. According to the report, the original feature was scrapped because the system would record accidental taps, but...
OnePlus watch gets certified, launch imminent
OnePlus' first smartwatch is confirmed to be announced at the beginning of this year and for now, we only know that it will adopt a round, classic design. And the most recent leak, if we can call it that, suggests that the device is about to be announced real soon. A listing from the Indian BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) shows that OnePlus' smartwatch has been certified and will come in two variants judging by the model numbers - W501GB and W301GB. We suspect that the two versions correspond to a Wi-Fi only version and an LTE model. Sadly, the listing doesn't reveal anything other...
