Google sacks 28 employees involved in protests over Israel govt contract
Tech giant Google has laid off 28 employees who were involved in sit-in protests at its offices over a Google contract with the Israeli government.
Search engine giant Google is adding a future in Google Photos called ‘Memories’ to help users rediscover old images straight from the app.
“We are using Machine Learning to curate what appears in Memories, so you don’t have to parse through many duplicate shots, and you can instead reflect on the best ones, where the photos have good quality and all the kids are smiling,” said Shimrit Ben-Yair, Google Photos, lead on Thursday.
This functioning of the feature is similar one on Instagram or Snapchat, displaying images taken during the same period a year, two years, three years or longer in the past. Google is also adding the ability to order prints for pickup or delivery to the home.

“You can already use Google Photos to quickly find and make your memories into a photo book. Now, you can use the same time-saving magic to print individual photos,” Ben-Yair added.
The US search giant has already rolled out a new Artificial Intelligence feature to its Lens platform that would allow users to search for their Google Photos library for the text that appears within images.
Also a users can be able to copy text from the images and paste them in a word document or notes. This works on both the Android and iOS apps, as well as the web client.
