128 GB Meizu MX3 goes on sale in China

Meizu unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the MX3 a while ago. Back then, the company had also announced the availability of the 128GB model along with the 16, 32 and 64GB versions. The 128GB model of the Meizu MX3, is the first smartphone to feature such an extensive internal storage (although 128GB was achievable with the help of a microSD slot earlier), is now available in China for a price of CNY3,999 (about $660).
However, the 128GB variant of the Octa-core smartphone works only on the TD-SCDMA networks, which means that the device will be functional only on the Chinese mobile networks for now.

Google Has To Cough Up $17 Million In Fines Due To Anti-Tracking Snafu With Safari

Google Has To Cough Up $17 Million In Fines Due To Anti-Tracking Snafu With Safari

Google, the most popular search engine to date, is also a company that is sitting on piles of cash, so to hear that they have to pay $17 million in fines because they have bypassed Safari's anti-tracking feature by placing tracking cookies on users' machines without prior permission, is but a drop in the bucket for them. Still, that is a lot of money to most people, and this bit of news was recently announced. As part of the final settlement with a Federal Court, Google has to fork out $17 million, in addition to a separate FTC fine of $22.5 million from last year, to 37 states in the US as well as the District of Columbia.

For starters, they eliminated the blue and decided that white was going to be the one, and only, color for things like keyboard text, status bar text and icons, and the trace trail inside the keyboard. Another key change Google made was moving the network status indicators from the status bar to within the quick settings toggle menu.
