Tech News is a blog created by Wasim Akhtar to deliver Technical news with the latest and greatest in the world of technology. We provide content in the form of articles, videos, and product reviews.
We, at Gtricks, are always committed to you for providing the best of Google product tips. In fact, this is our mission. So we thought, why not also start a newsletter that gives the latest updates and important news happenings at Google.
We came up with the idea of “Google This Week!”. A weekly newsletter focused on announcements, news and updates from Googleverse. We filter the most important news, verify it from trusted sources and then present to you in an attractive form that reaches your inbox every Sunday.
As we promised last week, we are out with the first edition of our newsletter “Google This Week”. Check out below on what the first edition of the newsletter entails.
For those of you who are subscribed with RSS email updates, please subscribe to this new list. Gtricks RSS feed will always work and you will continue receiving emails with the latest posts. But since Google has almost disowned Feedburner, it will be better if you make a switch to new list – “Google This Week”.
Also, going forward, “Google This Week” will not be published at the site. We want Gtricks to focus on only useful and evergreen content. Hence, subscribe to get regular Google updates.
Do you have any feedback on the newsletter? Something you want to change or improve? Comment and let us know.

One of the top three web browsers released an update recently, and its creators are touting one of its more sought-after features: enhanced privacy. The developers at Mozilla have upped the security for the latest Firefox update, and they’re feeling pretty good about the results.
One of the first new features in the new version is the Private Browsing with Tracking Protection feature. Internet tracking has gained a lot of attention lately as consumers push back against having their online behaviors followed by those who want to push advertisements their way. A large segment of the connected public is appalled by the idea that their browsing, emails, and even comments on articles will be used to target them with promotions, as it indicates their behaviors are being monitored, recorded, and sold to advertisers.
Of course, advertising is what keeps the internet functioning at an affordable price, so some consumers see tracking as just a necessary evil that keeps everything accessible. But there’s another issue with ad tracking other than just the perceived invasion of privacy. As Molly McHugh explains for Wired.com, “Internet advertising is still evolving, but one constant remains: ads specifically targeted to you make more money for publishers, so it is in their interest to fill their sites with those ads. However, those ads are murder on the speed of a page, turning a lightening-quick load time into an eight-second slog. It’s worth noting that ads aren’t the only thing to blame for this. The scripts that track you and peep on your tent-shopping load along with the page, and slow it down too.”
Moving into the realm of tinfoil hat land for a second, privacy advocates worry that it won’t stop with just finding out what items you want to buy. A recent interview with Edward Snowden, for example, unveiled a host of tools he referred to as the Smurf Suite that several governments already have in place, allowing them to track everything from citizens’ online activity to their photographs.
Mozilla’s Nick Nguyen, Vice President of the Firefox Product, posted a blog post that explains in greater detail how the privacy tools in the latest version of the browser are going to keep internet users more secure. To download the latest version of Firefox, go to FileHippo by clicking HERE.

Windows 10 Preview members got their hands on the new build of Windows 10 for testing.
Rumors had been doing the rounds on the Internet this last week or so, that Microsoft is finally going to release the first ‘real’ update for Windows 10 in the next few days. Tuesday November 10th may well be the date to watch out for, as it will coincide with Microsoft’s vaunted Patch Tuesday.
Microsoft are remaining tight lipped about when exactly the first big update for Windows 10 is actually coming.
The new build, version 10586, is the direct successor to version 10565 that was issued just under one month ago.
But just as in the run-up to July’s official Windows 10 release, Microsoft have removed the watermark which normally appears on preview builds. This may reveal that the major Windows 10 update is just around the corner.
Build 10586
10586 is essentially a refinement on the previous Windows 10 build, enhancing what was already there in the previous build, and has not introduced any new features. This shakedown test has led some to believe that Windows 10’s first big update is imminent.
The 10586 build instead is focused on ‘bug fixes and general improvements,’ according to the official Microsoft blog notes.
Most of the fixes are only minor in nature. But some, like the ‘ongoing issue where any audio playing (like music from Groove, or videos from the Movies & TV app) gets reduced by 75% for a period of time after a notification pops up from Action Center…’have been fixed.
Microsoft have also made improvements to the login system as well. Windows 10 will now remember the previous login type used by users. So if users normally use a pin to login, Windows will now prompt them directly for that pin.
Looking Good
According to the blog post, the feedback from the 10586 build has been very positive. The developers have apparently ‘been loving this build in our internal rings as it is very fast and smooth.’
If, as many believe, build 10586 does morph into the official update for Windows 10, it will be a big moment for the company.
Promises, Promises
Microsoft have resolved to release major updates of Windows 10 at least twice a year. Given that Windows 10 is supposed to mark the end of the traditional ‘new OS’ for computers every few years, Microsoft now has to releases updates and refreshes of the OS that can automatically deploy to its users, without breaking peoples computers.
November 10th might be the date we find out whether it works or not.
