Project Abacus, an ambitious plan to replace passwords with a comprehensive analysis of the way you use your phone, will begin trials with "several large financial institutions" next month, the company said Friday at its Google I/O developer conference.

So instead of asking for a specific password, Abacus analyzes how you type, how you speak, and combined with other signals from the sensors in your phone, calculates the probability that you are who you say you are.

"Oculus has added a check [to look for] whether the Oculus Rift headset is connected to their Oculus Platform DRM," Revive developer "CrossVR" posted to the Vive Reddit community on Friday. "While Revive fools the application [into] thinking the Rift is connected, it does nothing to make the actual Oculus platform think the headset is connected."

However Oculus wants to describe this update, users have wasted no time in quoting company founder Palmer Luckey's own statement about such issues.

"If customers buy a game from us, I don't care if they mod it to run on whatever they want," Luckey wrote in December. "Our goal is not to profit by locking people to only our hardware—if it was, why in the world would we be supporting GearVR and talking with other headset makers?"

Last week, at its annual keynote event Google I/O, the firm revealed its new artificially intelligent assistant. “It makes it easy to buy movie tickets while on the go, to find that perfect restaurant for your family to grab a quick bite before the movie starts, and then help you navigate to the theater,” Google announced online.

Type or speak what you want to an AI, and it will parse your question, dredge up the right answer, and handle the formulaic process of, say, ordering a cab.

As explained on this code review page “0.04% of page views navigate back via the backspace button and 0.005% of page views are after a form interaction.”

The change appears to have slipped into Chrome without much fanfare and now some of the small number of Backspace-and-Chrome-using folks out there are missing their preferred navigation keypress and venting in threads like this one.

The company noted that as of this quarter, its 61,590 drives have cumulatively spun for over one billion hours (that’s 42 million days or 114,155 years, for those of you playing along at home).

The company notes that 4TB drives continue to be the sweet spot for building out its storage pods, but that it might move to 6, 8, or 10TB drives as the price on the hardware comes down.

"Today, due to our hectic work schedules and lack of motivation, many of us do not receive regular amounts of physical activity and lead sedentary lifestyles," said Pornhub Vice President Corey Price.

The arrests are part of an operation that has seen women targeted for posting photos showing them not wearing headscarves on Instagram and elsewhere.

The arrests were announced by the court's prosecutor Javad Babaei during a state television programme broadcast late on Sunday that focused on the "threats to morality and the foundation of family" posed by social media.

Oracle, which acquired Java when it purchased Sun Microsystems, sued Google over the APIs in 2010. In 2012, a judge ruled that APIs can't be copyrighted at all, but an appeals court disagreed. Now Oracle may seek up to $9 billion in damages, while Google is arguing that its use of the 37 APIs constitutes "fair use."

In the company's view, "Java was the single most important asset Oracle ever acquired," Catz said. "We intended to invest in it and bring the Java community together and come out with new versions of Java."

As is often the case with preview software, users may run into issues. Microsoft cautions that Windows 10 build 14342 contains a bug that causes Edge to freeze if users turn off all of their browser extensions without uninstalling them, requiring them to kill the corresponding process in the Windows Task Manager.

Microsoft also made some improvements to the Bash command-line tool. The software giant caused a stir during this year's Build 2016 developer conference when it announced it was bringing the Unix shell and command language to the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update.

Their concerns had stopped them either using online banking or shopping or posting on social media, the survey by a Department of Commerce agency said.

Asked about the activities individually, 29% of households responding said they had avoided conducting financial transactions online; 26% avoided buying goods or services; 26% avoided posting to social networks and 19% said they had stopped themselves expressing a controversial opinion on social media because of privacy concerns.
