Today is Google’s 21st birthday: a little retrospect.

Today (September 27th) is Google’s 21st birthday. It is also the theme of today’s Doodle Logo. This large technology company was officially established in 1998 and was only a search engine company. After 2001, Google began to acquire different types of technology companies to expand their range of services. Youtube, Google Map, and the Android operating system, which have become part of the lives of many people, are services that Google has acquired from other companies and have evolved to date. Google has also been involved in the mobile phone market in recent years to produce Pixel series phones. On October 15th, Google will hold “Made By Google” conference, and there will be Google’s latest hardware news.

Google and Apple showcase the emoji design that will be added

July 17 is the World Emoji Day. Both Google and Apple took this opportunity to showcase the new emoji design that will be added to their OS system. The new emoji includes wheelchairs, guide dogs and other emojis related to people with disabilities, as well as some new animals. Google and Apple both said that the new emoji will appear in later system update. This also means that we may have to wait until iOS 13 and Android Q release to use the new built-in emoji on the phone. Although the emoji in the phone may take some time to update, Unicode Consortium is already preparing to add a new batch of emoji in the next year. At the same time, the Unicode Consortium is discussing whether to allow color variation in non-personal emoji. What emoji will bring to us next year is very much looking forward to.

Google wants to make it harder for sites to detect that you’re using Chrome’s Incognito Mode

Many people turn on the Incognito mode for their privacy and don’t let Google Chrome record your activity for private browsing. However, the implementation of the Incognitos mode does not completely make you “invisible”. According to Google Chrome, the following parties may still see your event: websites that you visit, your employer or school, your Internet service provider. Now, Google wants to make you safer, so that the websites you connect to don’t know if you are in Incognito mode.
