See how a part of the planet has changed over the years

" Google Earth Timelapse " is the name of a project that Google launched in 2013 intending to show how climate change is affecting our planet. The project then included images from space from 1984 to 2012, but now they are refreshed so we can see from 1984 to 2016 !

From now on you can see in real time how crowded the post office is!

A few days ago I wrote that Google has introduced information on Google Maps about the average retention of users in a company, and now we have real-time information!

Well, for God's sake, when we send a package within Serbia, we pay for something, and it arrives from China by ship and various trucks for free .

How to use an Android device as a WiFi signal booster?

If you have a weak WiFi signal at the other end of the house, a WiFi repeater would come in handy. If you don't have one, and you have an Android phone that you use poorly, you can use it for just that purpose.

Now you can "throw spells" with your Android phone!

If you’ve ever wanted to throw a spell-like Harry Potter in a movie then this is your lucky day! Google in collaboration with "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" - based on the book "Harry Potter" by J.K. Rowling - created voice commands that trigger actions on the phone.
