We have just released version 0.4.1 of our #gradle based build system, fixing a number of issues:

- Renamed 'package' scope to 'apk'. Variants are 'debugApk', 'releaseApk', 'flavor1Apk', etc...
  Fixed an issue that prevented to add package-only dependencies.

- Fixed the APIs to get the list of applicationVariants, libraryVariants, and testVariants which always returned an empty list on 0.4.

- Fixed issue in Proguard where it would complain about duplicate Manifests.

Note that if you are using #AndroidStudio  the New Project Wizard will still create projects using version 0.4, so you'll have to update them to 0.4.1 manually. 

We have also updated the documentation at http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system to match 0.4.1

Búsqueda por voz desde tu computadora

Desde hace algunos años has podido utilizar la Búsqueda por voz en tus dispositivos móviles, y hora está disponible para tu computadora mediante +Google Chrome.

Buscar usando la voz empieza a convertirse en algo más familiar y puede ser especialmente útil para consultas extensas como Las 10 mejores zonas arqueológicas en América Latina o para palabras que son difíciles de escribir como imágenes del perro xoloitzcuintle.

La Búsqueda por voz está disponible si utilizas Chrome 27 o superior en español, y claro, deberás contar con un micrófono.

El poder de la voz

La búsqueda ha evolucionado considerablemente en los años recientes: ahora podés buscar sin siquiera tipear e incluso hacer que tu día sea un poco más ligero al predecir información que pudieras necesitar.

Desde hace algunos años podés realizar Búsquedas por voz en tus dispositivos móviles, pero la buena noticia es que ahora está disponible para tu computadora mediante Google Chrome. Esta función se convierte en realmente útil cuando se tienen las manos ocupadas, cuando se necesita buscar una palabra o término con ortografía difícil o una frase muy larga. No hay tiempo para parar y escribir; y decirlo es mucho más útil y eficiente.

Lo único que necesitás es tener Chrome 27 o superior en español, y un micrófono.

You can create a private Community for internal communication with your non-profit team.  Google+ Communities let people get together to talk about topics of interest and to share information. You can customize the privacy setting of a Community by making it public or private to fit your needs.  A private Community is a great way to communicate internally by sharing links and resources, fun photos, and everything in between. 

There are many amazing Community features. Discussion tabs (highlighted in the red box below) help organize conversations by topics, and the About section allows the Community owner to provide a brief overview of the group and invite others to join (yellow box in image below). You can also start Hangouts, a free video chat feature that allows up to ten participants, and Events from a Community (highlighted in purple box below). To make sure that a post is not missed or overlooked, the notification setting can be turned on for email notifications.

6 Psychology Studies with Marketing Implications
Posted By: +Mark Burke, Google Engage Ireland
(http://www.google.ie/intl/en/ads/engage/)

Targeting customers can take many different forms. Understanding human behaviour is never easy, although is essential if you want to influence your intended consumer. 

+Brett Langlois brings together a selection of psychology studies that have proved to have important implications in the marketing environment. I found Thomas Smith’s guide on Successful Advertising in point 5 to be particularly amusing - even if it is from 1855!

A superb example of App Engine auto-scaling. ZoomZoomZen's anonymous, instant and ephemeral geolocation service has been used in a recent public meeting by more than 45000 people simultaneously.

App Engine weathered the traffic spike by spawning 20 instances, 6 of which were actually used, the remaining ones being allocated because App Engine was seeing a very quick traffic ramp up (10 to 800 queries per second within minutes). They were rapidly decommissioned as well.

All this happened automatically, with headroom for plenty more users.
