Google Now Comes To Chrome On The Desktop For Windows And Mac

Posted  by  

ext Story
Google has released its Google Now notification integration for its desktop Chrome browser, and the update will begin rolling out today and continue to percolate over the coming weeks. The new feature allows users to receive Google Now notifications on their desktop, synced the Now notifications on their phone. To enable them, users need only to be logged into Chrome on the desktop with the same account they’re using on iOS or Android for the automated digital assistant.
Now cards including weather, sports scores, traffic and event reminders will now be displayed in Chrome, and some of the above will use location data from a users’ smartphone to populate, Google explains in a new support document. Location setting changes made on the iOS or Android device where you’re using Now will transfer to the desktop, providing up-to-date information about contextually relevant data. Google Now checks in for location info even when Chrome isn’t working, but you can turn it off using the notifications icon in Chrome to access Now settings.

Google Chrome Has a Bug That Lets Any Site Eavesdrop On You


Voice control is an awesomely futuristic way to control your technology like a spaceman, but only if you can trust it. So you might want to stay tight-lipped around Chrome; Google's browser has a dangerous security flaw that can let malicious sites eavesdrop on your every word.
Discovered by web developer and Gizmodo reader Tal Ater, the bug in question is simple when exploited. All a malicious site has to do is get you to enable voice control for any legitimate purpose—maybe you want to dictate some text to a webapp, or record some noise for whatever reason—and it can potentially access your computer's mic long after you've navigated away.
All it needs to do is shoot out a pop-under window disguised as an ordinary ad, or something similarly innocuous, to keep your microphone hot. As long as it remains open, every noise you make will be sent back to Google through Chrome, and then on to the snoopers for whatever purpose they see fit. And there's no way for you to tell that the site you visited 20 minutes ago is still up to no good.
