Chrome's voice recognition get exploited

09:16 // by Unknown // // No comments

Cyber attackers have found a way to use the speech recognition feature in Chrome to spy on ordinary users of the worldwide web. They managed to switch on a microphone using bugs in the Google Chrome browser. The exploit was discovered by one of the developers, who found it when working on a popular JavaScript Speech Recognition library. This allowed the developer to find many bugs in the browser and to come up with an exploit which combines all.




The developer was quick to report the exploit to Google’s security team in private back in September 2013. In less than a week, Google’s engineers have found the bugs, suggested fixes, and in the next five days a patch was ready. By the way, the developer’s find was nominated for Chromium’s Reward Panel.

The strange thing was that as time passed, the fix wasn’t released. When asked why, Google’s team answered that there was an ongoing discussion within the Standards group, to agree on the best course of action. In other words, the company couldn’t decide what to do, though there were not many options.

It’s 2014 already, but Google is still waiting for the Standards group to agree on the correct behavior, while leaving Chrome browser vulnerable. Indeed, all it takes is a user to visit a website exploiting speech recognition to offer some interesting new functionality.

BEST LIVE WALLPAPERS FOR YOUR ANDROID

06:29 // by Unknown // , // No comments

Nexus Revamped


Say goodbye to static wallpapers and the new trendy Live wallpapers to get your Android Device a new look. After looking to your device screen you'll definitely say WOW. And they can be installed on the lower version of android from 2.1 to the latest android version.
They are incredibly eye-catching, providing attractive backgrounds that feature everything from simplistically-colored textures to quirky spaceships quietly chugging through dense void of space.

Here are the collection of the best live wallpapers for  you !


Custom Beam

There’s no reason your Android background can’t function like a mood ring in times of extreme indecisiveness. Modeled after the icon Phase Beam wallpaper, Custom Beam allows you to quickly alter the wallpaper’s backing colors, gradient angles, animation speeds, beam opacity and other cosmetic components to create a truly custom profile. The animations are simple and fluid, dappled by drifting light spots that utilize two specified background colors and one foreground color for greater color diversity. Although gyroscope functionality would be nice, complaints are minimal.



Custom Beam

 

Nexus Triangles

Shape-shifting triangles can be deceitful. The three-point shapes composing Nexus Triangles are modeled after the standard 4.2 Jelly Bean wallpaper, yet they revel in simplicity despite looking overly complex at first glance. Users can easily choose from a myriad of standard presets, or if they’re picky, take the time to fine-tune the animated background using a combination of different sizes, styles and colors. The shaded animations are lively, yet subtle, but it’s the sheer number of color offerings available via the built-in color palette that give the wallpaper its true potential.


Nexus Triangles


Shadow Galaxy

The Galaxy collection of live wallpapers for Android is fairly robust when you consider all the offerings available in Google Play. Although you could opt for the Ice, Inferno or Vortex Galaxy renditions, we prefer the Shadow version given the dark background is the least distracting of the four. The live wallpaper essentially pits your device in the middle of star-blazoned galaxy, slowly scouring the expanses of space indefinitely. There are option to reduce the number of stars and adjust the animation speed, but most people will want to stick with the defaults. It’s celestial, if not eye-popping.


Shadow Galaxy

 

iOS 7 Fantasy

Call us Apple fanboys or what you will, but every so often there comes that skeptical Android user who longs for another a platform. With iOS 7 Fantasy, users can don one of the new default, dynamic wallpapers featured in the latest version of Apple’s flagship mobile OS. Customization is nonexistent once set, filling your background with bluish-purple hues and roaming spots of varying size that are incapable of being alternated, but the backing animations remain smooth regardless of your device. It’s basically Custom Beam — you know — without the whole “custom” part.


iOS 7 Fantasy

 

Rays of Light

A little bit of light can go a long way in sprucing up your Android device. The aptly titled Rays of Light features slow, translucent moving rays of light that gently sway in the background, hovering in front of a nonexistent background or a textured design of your own choosing. Each backdrop is subtle and faint, slightly blurred to avoid distracting ridges, but endowed with various patterns that fill the girth of your Android device. It’s reminiscent of the the Flurry screensaver equipped with older versions of Mac OS X, and though it skimp on customization, it’s not notorious for battery drain like several others on our lineup.




Rays of Light


Symphony of Colors

Not all of us are tickled by the notion of amorphous shapes of light freely spinning upon a lackluster background. However, if that is for you, Symphony of Colors is a thing of pure jejune beauty. The edges are well-defined for added contrast against the black background and the rotating shapes respond effortless to the touch, allowing users to spin and rotate the light prisms for a myriad of viewing angles. Colors don’t fade into assorted hues in the way they do with similar wallpapers — though there are options to customize colors —  but the fact they remain static renders the wallpaper less distracting than it would otherwise be.


Symphony of Colors

 

 The Nebulander

The Nebulander takes the crown in terms of distracting, but it does so with such an air artistic flare and eye-catching artwork that you can’t help but ogle profusely. With the Nebulander, your Android backdrop becomes the cosmos, filling you sparsely crowding your screen with an array of colored clouds, planets and the steam-punked Digger airship. As usual, you’ll have to opt for the premium version of the software to access all the available content, but the free version still possess the power to refine simple facets such as airship elevation, size, and travel speed. It’s fluid, while remaining one developer Gauli’s more creative offerings.
