Google Pixel 10's new Camera Coach might help you frame and click photos like a pro
The Pixel 10 series is just around the corner, and it looks like the internet cannot get enough of it. From chipset to camera upgrades, in the last few weeks, several leaks have given us a good idea of what to expect from Google's upcoming Pixel series phones. Now, a new report by Android Headlines suggests that Google is gearing up to bring a new feature that can help you click photos like a pro. Called 'Camera Coach', the upcoming Pixel 10 exclusive feature will reportedly take the help of Gemini AI to help you snap the best pictures by giving them tips on how to improve their photos in real-time. While it is still unclear how long Camera Coach would take to analyse the scene in the Pixel 10's camera viewfinder, the report states that it would be 'pretty instant'. In case you are wondering, the upcoming feature would suggest that you adjust the angle to better frame the image and adjust the lighting in the scene. Also, it's unknown how long Camera Coach will take to process what it sees and come up with suggestions, but since Gemini Lvie responds pretty quickly, it won't take an eternity before the feature comes up with ways to improve the picture. For years, Google has been relying on computational photography instead of hardware on its Pixel series to improve captured images, and the Pixel 10 series seems to be no exception. On the vanilla Pixel 10, the company will reportedly finally add a dedicated telephoto shooter, which would help capture far-away subjects and click better portrait shots. As for the Pixel 10 Pro and its larger cousin – the Pixel 10 Pro XL, Google seems to be sticking with the same camera sensors as last year. The Pixel 10 series phones will be unveiled later this month on August 20, so we won't have to wait a long time to see how Camera Coach works on these devices.

Google confirms data breach after cyberattack on Salesforce database: What's leaked
Google has confirmed that one of its Salesforce systems used for storing small and medium business contact data was briefly compromised by a cybercriminal group known as UNC6040, which uses voice phishing or 'vishing', to trick employees into handing over access to sensitive tools. The attackers used a social engineering technique where they impersonated IT support staff during phone calls, convincing employees to authorise malicious software connected to their Salesforce environment. This allowed the group to access and extract basic business contact details, most of which, Google says, were already publicly available, before the breach was detected and stopped. Notably, the group behind the attack, UNC6040, is known for targeting Salesforce platforms by abusing tools like the 'Data Loader' app, a legitimate application that allows bulk data handling. In many cases, the hackers use fake versions of this app with misleading names, such as 'My Ticket Portal,' to avoid detection during the phishing calls. In an evolving trend, the group has shifted from using official Salesforce tools to custom-made Python scripts for data theft, making it harder to trace their activity. They also reportedly use VPNs and the dark web network TOR to hide their identity and location. Another linked group, UNC6240, has followed up on these data thefts with extortion attempts, often contacting company employees by email or phone, demanding bitcoin payments within 72 hours. These messages claim to be from the hacking group 'ShinyHunters,' a name familiar in the cybercrime world. Google's threat intelligence unit believes the extortion group may soon launch a website to publicly leak stolen data, a common pressure tactic among cybercriminals. The broader concern is that these attacks do not exploit flaws in Salesforce itself but rather human error, tricking employees into allowing access through seemingly routine IT support calls. Companies are being urged to tighten access controls, restrict permissions to sensitive tools, limit app installations, and train staff to recognise social engineering scams.

The 'promise' Microsoft is making to employees it is poaching from Google DeepMind, and it is not nine-figure salaries
Representative Image Microsoft is reportedly making a "promise" of a more lively, startup-like work environment to the employees it is poaching from Google DeepMind . A report citing people who have received the offers claimed that Microsoft's recent offers have been "heftier" than those at DeepMind, still they don't match the scale of nine-figure contracts offered by Meta. To compare, Facebook-parent Meta has reportedly provided some researchers with contracts worth $300 million. These recent offers from Microsoft didn't exceed what the social media giant offereed but they were higher than the typical pay at DeepMind, particularly for long-time employees. According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Suleyman, who is also a co-founder of Google's DeepMind, is reportedly recruiting these talents personally and has been pitching recruits on the idea that the new AI division at Microsoft is a more flexible workplace than what DeepMind has become under Google's ownership. Suleyman has promised recruits more freedom and smaller teams, a 'startup vibe' that has reportedly appealed to several targets. Microsoft has already hired at least two dozen executives and other employees from Google in recent months, most of whom came from DeepMind. This includes prominent figures like Adam Sadovsky, a former distinguished engineer, and Amar Subramanya, a former VP of engineering at Google. Microsoft's latest strategy seems to be an effort to close the gap in the AI race. What Microsoft's new hires from Google DeepMind said about their former company by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Living comfortably: 60 m² prefabricated house for the elderly (See more) Prefabricated Homes View Deals Undo 'The culture here is refreshingly low ego yet bursting with ambition,' one of the recruits from Deepmind, Subramanya, wrote in a post shared on social networking site LinkedIn last month while announcing his new role at Microsoft. As per the report, Suleyman has been given autonomy by CEO Satya Nadella to lead Microsoft's AI efforts and attract top talent with competitive offers. His team operates mainly from Mountain View, California, with a presence in London, and functions independently from Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond, Washington. The report also noted that a Microsoft spokesman has claimed that all of its senior leaders 'have equal ability to recruit talent and manage their teams in a way that works successfully for their business and their people alike.' The new Google hires will focus on consumer-facing products like Microsoft's Copilot chatbot, which competes with ChatGPT and Gemini, the report adds. Led by Suleyman, the consumer version of Copilot is separate from the enterprise versions used in Microsoft 365 and GitHub. Recently, Microsoft even announced deeper Copilot integration with the Edge browser to assist with tasks like comparing hotel options using open tabs. On the other hand, DeepMind expanded to around 6,000 employees as it became a key part of Google's AI efforts. Some recruits said that they prefer working at Microsoft compared to their previous company due to its less bureaucratic structure. Former Google executive Laszlo Bock noted that Google now resembles a 20-year-earlier version of Microsoft, profitable but often slow-moving, hierarchical and political. 'It feels much more like a company run by a finance person than an engineer,' he said. To counter this, Google has reportedly said that its attrition rates are below the industry average and noted that it has also hired several employees from Microsoft. 'We are excited that we are able to attract the world's leading AI talent, including researchers and engineers who come from rival labs,' a Google spokesperson said to WSJ..
