GOOGLE IS REPORTEDLY TESTING A PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON FOR THE CHROME BROWSER TOOLBAR

-

Google Chrome is working on a universal Play/Pause button on the browser's toolbar which will let users pause media in any tab, without needing to find the specific tab that's playing.

ZDNet reports that the feature named Global Media Controls (GMC) is enabled on Chrome's testing platform, Chrome Canary.

The button is located to the right of the URL bar, where it shows a popup that slides down from the button itself, allowing users to stop or resume currently playing media.

Testing shows the button works with audio and video content and across multiple Chrome windows. As it is a universal button users won't have to hunt down which tab or window has media playing, in order to pause it.

However, the current version is buggy and often crashes the browser when users attempt to pause a video.

ZDNet says the GMC button is planned for Chrome's desktop versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux. There is no indication if it will be added to Chrome OS.

It adds that no estimate was given when the GMC button will be rolled out for regular users, but progress can tracked via the Chrome bug tracker.

Tabs can still be muted by right-clicking on one, which then creates a drop down menu with an option to mute the site.

VERA – A VEHICLE LIKE NO OTHER SEEN FROM VOLVO BEFORE Vera is an autonomous, electric vehicle that can operate with significantly less exhaust emissions and low noise levels. It is controlled and monitored via a control centre, and has the potential to make transportation safer, cleaner and more efficient. Revealed in September last year, the autonomous Vera is powered by the same drivetrain and battery packs found in Volvo's electric trucks. It is, however, more electric sled than electric big rig, consisting of four-wheels and a low-profile body that can be latched onto by standard load carriers and trailers.

Space Waste & Debris: The Biggest Problem We Can’t See

-
Image
On October 4th, 1957 the then Soviet Union (USSR) successfully launched its Sputnik 1 satellite into the Earth’s orbit. While the spherical Soviet satellite wasn’t threatening to look at (weighing a mere 184 pounds and measuring a slim 23 inches wide), its small beeping signal heard back on Earth resonated throughout the United States and was viewed as a massive threat. As it turns out, that tiny beep ignited the already simmering space race and effectively forced both countries to push their limits of innovation and technical ability to the breaking point in an effort to reach a nonexistent finish line. October 4th, 1957 was also the day that many stargazers tracked a faintly shining object as it sped around the Earth at 17,500 miles per hour. Many thought that they were looking at  Sputnik 1 but in reality, they were seeing the detached rocket body that propelled it into orbit. While Sputnik 1 was roughly the size of a large beach ball, its rocket body was nearly 85 feet lo...

THE GREAT ESCAPE. VISION NEXT 100: The motorcycle of the future. Glasses in place of a helmet, smart clothing, full balance without a kickstand: Only three of the many inventions that could become standards for riding a motorcycle and add a new dimension to the sense of freedom in an increasingly digitised world. And the best thing about it: this vision vehicle is already here. Introducing the BMW Motorrad VISION NEXT 100. The futuristic two-wheeler glides through the auditorium, the jet-black triangular frame illuminates the blue and white BMW logo. The female driver only wears a visor, which looks like a pair of glasses from the next century instead of a helmet. She stops and stands up from the seat, without taking either foot off the pegs. The vision bike presented at the "iconic impulses" exhibition. "The BMW Group Future Experience" that is celebrating its world premiere in Los Angeles, transports the viewer to the year 2130. Self-balancing:...
