Google Launches Digital Payments Service in India

New Delhi: Alphabet Inc’s Google on Monday launched a localised payments app for India as it tries to gain a foothold in the country’s rapidly-growing digital payments space.

India’s crowded digital payments market, expected to grow ten-fold to $500 billion by 2020, received a shot in the arm after Prime Minister Narendra Modi banned old high-value notes last year, forcing people to use e-wallets and card payments.

A state-backed payments system, Unified Payment Interface (UPI), has also helped banks enter the fray, forcing wallet players to actively partner with lenders or adopt the platform in the world’s fastest growing internet services market.

Google’s payments app named Tez, meaning fast in Hindi, uses UPI and allows users to connect their bank accounts to the service. Google has partnered with State Bank of India, the country’s biggest lender, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank for the service.

Tez will compete, among others, with Paytm which is backed by SoftBank and Alibaba. Paytm is the country’s largest e-wallet with more than 225 million users.

Finance minister Arun Jaitley who launched Tez in New Delhi said Google was keen on joining India’s transformation into a digital economy, especially after the demonetisation.

Mind-reading camera shoots whatever you find interesting

Researchers have developed a wearable camera that starts recording when it detects that you are interested in what you are seeing.

The neurocam, developed by Tokyo-based company Neurowear, incorporates sensors that detect electrical activity in the wearer's brain.

Depending on how much activity is detected, the user's interest level in what they're observing is assigned a numerical value from 1 to 100.

Any time that number exceeds 60, a 5-second Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) animated clip is recorded, capturing whatever happens to be in the forward-facing camera's line of sight, 'Gizmag' reported.

Those clips are date- and location-stamped, and stored in a video album for subsequent review.

A manual mode is also accessible, for those times when users want to record footage of things that they themselves are not all that excited about.

In its current prototype form, the neurocam uses an integrated smartphone as its brains, storage medium, and camera.

It is hoped that a less gawky production version of the device would incorporate its own custom electronics.

Government blocks over 60 websites including github & sourceforge on anti-terror advisory

BENGALURU|DELHI: Over 60 websites and links, including popular online tools like Github and Sourceforge used by thousands of programmers have been blocked in India, triggering angry protests by Internet users. The websites were blocked for hosting content that is pro terrorist group ISIS and not cooperating with government investigations, officials said. Arvind Gupta, the head of IT Cell, BJP Tweeted: "The websites that have been blocked were based on an advisory by Anti Terr Squad, and were carrying Anti India content from ISIS. The sites that have removed objectionable content and/or cooperated with the on going investigations, are being unblocked." Based on an order issued by the country's telecom department, in a letter dated December 17 and a subsequent letter on December 19, over 60 websites have been blocked by various internet service providers in the country. While some internet service providers are yet to block these websites, many users have been reporting frequent outages in these web services over the last two weeks. Websites like Pastebin don't host any content but are a platform for users to paste text. Popular video networks like Vimeo and Dailymotion are among the websites that have been blocked. Officials from the department of Information Technology and the department of telecom were not available for comment. "These are all providing very dangerous kind of cut and paste services..You can take code  cut it, paste it, remove it, delete it," said one government official who requested anonymity.
