Google Looking to Bolster G Suite and Take on Microsoft

Google’s Google Cloud suite of productivity applications — Docs, Sheets, and Drive — are part of a package called G Suite, the search giant’s answer to Microsoft’s Office 365. G Suite’s evolved substantially over the years, and rumor has it that Google’s developing new features primarily targeted at businesses, according to The Information.

The first will allow employers to manage employee data, and it’s the Mountain View-based answer to Microsoft’s new Azure Active Directory. It’ll reportedly cost $8 per employee, which is a little pricier than Microsoft’s options — its plans start at $6 per user.

Another new forthcoming G Suite feature, code-named “Wolverine”, will see Google roll out voice over IP (VoIP) to businesses. It’s said to be akin to Skype for Business: A cloud-based system that uses Google Hangouts technology to route calls inside and outside of companies. It’s unclear how much it’ll cost or when it’ll launch, yet.

It remains to be seen if Google’s moves are enough to sway companies away from Microsoft’s products, but one thing’s for sure: No matter how good the search giant’s new G Suite features, it’ll be hard to break Microsoft’s stronghold on the market. We’ll see what happens in the coming months, and in the meantime, you can read the original report from The Information at the source link.

Google Reportedly Paying Apple $9 Billion to Remain Default iOS Search Option

Image
It’s widely known that Google pays Apple a certain amount of money on a semi-regular basis to make sure that it remains the default search engine option on iOS devices. It has been said in the past that iOS devices equal about 50 percent of Google’s search revenue on mobile devices, so it’s imperative to the company to keep that spot on Apple’s devices. Before the end of 2017 it was reported that Apple was getting upwards of $3 billion from Google to secure that spot. But now, more than a year later from that report, it sounds like the company may be paying a lot more to Apple. Business Insider is reporting information shared by analyst Rod Hall that states Google is now paying $9 billion this year to retain its default situation on iOS devices. What’s more, Hall actually thinks that number will increase by next year, and Google could be paying Apple for those default rights to the tune of $12 billion. Hall also echoes those earlier reports, saying ...

Facebook Uses Your 2FA Phone Number for Targeted Advertising

Image
Being stalked from one website to another by persistent advertising is a real issue, but some companies, like Apple, have made strides to try and reduce its impact . But targeted advertising isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, especially if Facebook has any say in the matter. The company has recently confirmed that it does indeed go to some pretty great lengths to provide information to advertisers, with this latest effort definitely one of the social networking giant’s worst. A couple of days ago, Gizmodo ran a piece that outlined how Facebook uses the phone number some users added to take advantage of two factor authentication as a way to target those same individuals with ads. This is an extension of how Facebook already handles phone numbers saved to the platform’s profiles. How it works normally is if you add your phone number to your Facebook profile, and then add your phone number to some online retailer’s online presence, those two sources can match and b...
