Microsoft’s cloud computing services help reduce impact of COVID-19 pandemic on Q3 FY2020 earnings
With a rise in demand for its cloud computing services during the first three months of the year, Microsoft has announced that its revenue, which was $35.0 billion, has now increased 15 percent and the net income, which was $10.8 billion, has registered an increase of 22 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period of last fiscal year. Claiming that Microsoft has witnessed two years’ worth of digital transformation in two months, Satya Nadella, CEO of the tech giant, said, “From remote teamwork and learning, to sales and customer service, to critical cloud infrastructure and security – we are working alongside customers every day to help them adapt and stay open for business in a world of remote everything. Our durable business model, diversified portfolio, and differentiated technology stack position us well for what’s ahead.” In a statement issued by Microsoft, the operating income was $13.0 billion and has now increased by 25 percent while the diluted earnings per share was $1.40 and it has now increased by 23 percent as against the third quarter during the last fiscal year. Stressing upon Microsoft’s commitment to balancing operational discipline with continued investments in key strategic areas to drive future growth, Amy Hood, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Microsoft, stated, “In this dynamic environment, our sales teams and partners executed a solid third quarter, with Commercial Cloud revenue generating $13.3 billion, up 39 percent year-over-year.” Microsoft further revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic had minimal net impact on the total company revenue in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020. In the Productivity and Business Processes and Intelligent Cloud segments, cloud usage increased, particularly in Microsoft 365 including Teams, Azure, Windows Virtual Desktop, advanced security solutions, and Power Platform, as customers shifted to work and learn from home. In the final weeks of the quarter, there was a slowdown in transactional licensing, particularly in small and medium businesses, and a reduction in advertising spend in LinkedIn. Besides this, Windows OEM and Surface benefited from increased demand to support remote work and learn scenarios in the More Personal Computing segment, offset in part by supply chain constraints in China that improved late in the quarter. Gaming benefited from increased engagement following stay-at-home guidelines. Search was negatively impacted by reductions in advertising spend, particularly in the industries most impacted by COVID-19. The effects of COVID-19 may not be fully reflected in the financial results until future periods. Revenue in Productivity and Business Processes was $11.7 billion and increased 15 percent (up 16 percent in constant currency). Looking more closely, Microsoft has stated that its Office Commercial products and cloud services revenue increased 13 percent driven by Office 365 Commercial revenue growth of 25 percent. Besides this, Microsoft Office Consumer products and cloud services revenue increased 15 percent with continued growth in Office 365 Consumer subscribers to 39.6 million while LinkedIn revenue increased 21 percent. As per Microsoft, its server products and cloud services revenue increased 30 percent driven by Azure revenue growth of 59 percent. On the other hand, Microsoft Windows Commercial products and cloud services revenue increased 17 percent while Xbox content and services revenue increased 2 percent along with Microsoft Surface revenue registering hike of 1 percent. As far as Microsoft’s response to COVID-19 is concerned, the company notified “our focus remains on ensuring the safety of our employees, striving to protect the health and well-being of the communities in which we operate, and providing technology and resources to our customers and partners to help them do their best work while remote.” For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

OnePlus Z could get launched under the budget segment in July this year
OnePlus recently unveiled its latest smartphone globally, the OnePlus 8 Series. The line up includes two devices namely OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. The company launched the devices in China a few weeks back and before this, it shared a picture of a white mystery box via its social media channel. The box was rumoured to contain a toned-down variant the new series being called as OnePlus Z. Now again the device is new and this time a tipster has predicted the timeline for the launch of the device. A tipster named Max J has taken to Twitter to reveal that the Chinese company might unveil the OnePlus Z device in July this year. He also shared an image which contains a sketch of the upcoming device revealing that the handset might feature a centrally placed punch hole housing a selfie camera. The feature tipped is in line with the earlier reports that also declared a similar feature. However, there is still now confirmed dare for the launch of the device.  Many of the previous reports claim that the toned-down variant of the OnePlus 8 will be known as the OnePlus 8 Lite. Whereas some other reports suggest that the company is likely to bring the successor to the OnePlus X that was introduced back in 2015 which means after a gap of five long years the company will begin where it left. The device is expected to range somewhere around Rs 30,000. OnePlus devices are popular for its premium features, loaded smartphones being offered at much affordable pricing so we can expect that the company might launch an affordable option to its fans who are seeking a pocket-friendly yet premium device.  However, it is a matter of consideration that recently the company introduced its new headset called OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z and the “Z” tag used in the name of headphones also indicates the same OnePlus “Z” branding what the reports are talking about.  The reports suggest that the OnePlus Z or OnePlus 8 Lite will come with a  6.4-inch display, a triple camera set up on the back and a hole-punch display. It is said to house a 4,000mAh battery.

Know how Google helps you avoid COVID-19 online security risks
Digital platform has gained a centre-stage in our lives in the unprecedented times of the COVID-19 pandemic as people are turning to new apps and communications tools to work, learn, access information, and stay connected with loved ones. While keep us connected at one hand, it is also posing online security risks for the users. Google has now come out with simple tips, tools and resources to help you stay secure everywhere online. In a blog post, Saikat Mitra, Director – Trust & Safety at Google, said, “During the past couple of weeks across the globe, our advanced machine-learning classifiers have seen 18 million daily malware and phishing attempts related to COVID-19, in addition to more than 240 million COVID-related spam messages.” If you wish to know how can you identify and avoid COVID-19 scams as the Internet is being bombarded with them in the form of phishing emails, it’s important to pause and evaluate any COVID-19 related email before clicking any links or taking other actions. In a blog post, Saikat Mitra, Director – Trust & Safety at Google, said, “Be wary of requests for personal information such as your home address or bank details. Fake links often imitate established websites by adding extra words or letters to them—check the URL’s validity by hovering over it (on desktop) or with a long press (on mobile).” Google has even provided these tips online on Google Safety centre at g.co/covidsecuritytips in Hindi and English, with more Indian languages being added in the coming weeks. A user can also download these tips as handy one-pagers both in Hindi and English languages. Google advises you users to use a password manager to create and store strong passwords. With all the new applications and services you might be using for work and school purposes, it can be tempting to use just one password for all. According to the tech giant, “To keep your private information private, always use unique, hard-to-guess passwords. A password manager, like the one built into Android, Chrome, and your Google Account can help make this easier.” The California-based tech giant has further asked users to protect their Google Account. Therefore, if you use a Google Account, you can easily review any recent security issues and get personalized recommendations to help protect your data and devices with the Security Checkup. Besides this, you can also run a Password Check-up to find out if the password you have saved for third party sites or accounts have been compromised. If that’s the case, quickly change the old password with a new one to be safe. Besides this, you should also consider adding two-factor authentication in order to be able to gain an extra layer of security. Mind you! This helps keep out anyone who shouldn’t have access to your accounts by requiring a secondary factor on top of your username and password to sign in. If you security is at stake online, all you need to do is enroll in Google’s strongest security offering Advanced Protection Program at g.co/advancedprotection. Meanwhile, Google has also built advanced security protections into Google products to automatically identify and stop threats before they ever reach its users. The tech giant’s machine learning models in Gmail already detect and block more than 99.9 percent of spam, phishing and malware.

Apple reportedly confirms a massive iOS security hole impacts all iPhone users
Apple has given the best of the iPhones to its fans worldwide. Now, the tech giant is once again in news not because it is bringing something new. According to a Forbes report, Apple has now confirmed that the report by ZecOps, which had stated that every iPhone powered by iOS 6 or newer version is prone to remote attacks, is a reality. The report by Forbes has revealed that “Apple has now gone a step further in talking about this security breach and it has met a controversial response.” As per an official statement issued by the tech giant, “Apple takes all reports of security threats seriously. We have thoroughly investigated the researcher’s report and, based on the information provided, have concluded these issues do not pose an immediate risk to our users. The researcher identified three issues in Mail, but alone they are insufficient to bypass iPhone and iPad security protections, and we have found no evidence they were used against customers. In the official statement, Apple clarified, “These potential issues will be addressed in a software update soon. We value our collaboration with security researchers to help keep our users safe and will be crediting the researcher for their assistance.” Earlier, ZecOps had revealed that “Following a routine iOS Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) investigation, ZecOps found a number of suspicious events that affecting the default Mail application on iOS dating as far back as Jan 2018. ZecOps analysed these events and discovered an exploitable vulnerability affecting Apple’s iPhones and iPads. ZecOps detected multiple triggers in the wild to this vulnerability on enterprise users, VIPs, and MSSPs, over a prolonged period of time.” ZecOps had further stated in its report that the attack’s scope consists of sending a specially crafted email to a victim’s mailbox enabling it to trigger the vulnerability in the context of iOS MobileMail application on iOS 12 or maild on iOS 13. In addition to this, ZecOps had added “We believe that these attacks are correlative with at least one nation-state threat operator or a nation-state that purchased the exploit from a third-party researcher in a Proof of Concept (POC) grade and used ‘as-is’ or with minor modifications (hence the 4141..41 strings). While ZecOps refrain from attributing these attacks to a specific threat actor, we are aware that at least one ‘hackers-for-hire’ organization is selling exploits using vulnerabilities that leverage email addresses as a main identifier.” For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

Telegram Messenger to soon introduce “secure group video calls” on its platform
The Social media app Telegram Messenger has come up with new features that will be helpful to many users to stay connected. The chatting app will introduce secure group video calls. It comes with various features such as folders, cloud storage as well as desktop support to make it more useful to users working from home or studying during the lockdown. Right now it is not easier to trust any of the other video communication tools. Some are secure but not useable or those who are usable but not secure for instance Zoom. In order to take on these popular but not so secure video conferencing apps Telegram is going to come up with a secure group video calls feature on its platform. However, the feature was announced last week and the company also introduced several other features to kill time while getting bored at home. These features are Quizzes, educational tests, 20,000 stickers and many more. Until now Telegram did not support a video calling feature but via a new blog post, the company aims to bring a  secure group video calls to feature by this year when most of the apps are not secure keeping their user’s data and privacy at risk. “What’s next, you might ask? The current global lockdown highlighted the need for a trusted video communication tool. Video calls in 2020 are much like messaging in 2013. There are apps that are either secure or usable, but not both. We’d like to fix that, and we will focus on bringing you secure group video calls in 2020. When will they be ready? You‘ll be the first to know when we’re done, promise. So stop asking,” the blog post said. While on the other hand its rival and popular chatting app WhatsApp has increased the limit of people in a group video or voice call. It now supports up to eight participants in group video calls. Earlier it used to support up to four people. Earlier this year Telegram introduced a Quiz Mode that allowed users to lex their trivia muscles. Now the company is rolling out an update to this feature with educational features. Earlier it has objective-based multiple-choice questions but with the new update, the users can now add explanations in response to quiz questions allowing them to learn from their mistakes or giving them more context.  Now while creating a quiz via @Quizbot the users can now set a timer for questions. Timers add to the competitive element of Telegram quizzes, which are often used for exam preparation in student group chats. With the new countdown animation, everyone can see how much time they have left. Furthermore, Telegram has announced to distribute EUR 400,000 )that translates to Rs 3.29 crores) among creators of educational tests. “To take part, use @QuizBot to create and publish an original educational test on any subject at any difficulty level, in any language. Feel free to choose anything from basic Medieval European History in English to Mikrobiologie für Experten auf Deutsch – and add any media you require to your questions, but make sure all intellectual property rights are respected. We will publish the quizzes you submit in a searchable directory. Based on their quality and popularity we will then announce the winners in several stages. Submissions for the first stage end on May 15.” Moreover, the company has also introduced a new sticker directory where you can browse and search the over 20,000 high-quality free Telegram stickers created in the last 5 years.
