Google to roll out its Android Auto System to even more countries soon

Smart technology has already surrounded us, and analysts predict that by 2030 almost all the fields will be submerged under the ocean of smart devices. As such, it is only fair that the companies that offer these services try to expand their business to many global markets.

Some of us are already familiar with Googles Android Auto system, which comes in modern cars. As such, according to sources, the Android maker is trying to bring its technology to many more markets around the world. Reports indicate that Android Auto will be available in 36 additional countries. This includes much of Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and a handful of countries in Africa.

Here’s the list of countries that will soon be getting Android Auto:

  • Europe: Albania, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Portugal, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Latvia, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Macedonia, Malta, Moldova, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Albania, Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Ukraine
  • Asia: Turkey, Thailand, Indonesia
  • Africa: Angola, Botswana

The company is doubling the number of countries in the world where customers can access Android Auto. Reports also indicate that the company is also working with automakers to produce more cars with natively installed Android Auto.

Recently the company struck deals with Volvo and Audi to start rolling out these systems. According to Google, the latest version of its Android operating system will allow its users to connect wirelessly to Android Auto, as long as the connecting vehicle includes a head unit that supports 5GHz Wi-Fi.

1,500 barrier seats to be installed in J Stand at Old Trafford

1,500 barrier seats to be installed in J Stand at Old Trafford

Manchester United has taken an excellent initiative to enhance the atmosphere of Old Trafford. Manchester United has already announced that they will install 1,500 seats in J stand early next year as they prepare to trial safe standing at Old Trafford. In a recent interview with Stretty News they revealed, TRA is helping a bit in this matter.

Fans are finally allowed to enter the stadium in the Premier League from this weekend. Though the fans of Manchester need to wait a little more as Manchester is in Tier 3 and needs some more time to ease the COVID-19 restriction.

Manchester United has already started taking all the safety measures. All-seater venues were made mandatory in the top divisions of English football since the 1994-95 season as per the recommendations of the Taylor Report on stadium safety after the 1989 Hillsborough disaster.

The local government has given permission to install 1500 barriers as a trial and Manchester United are now working on it.

Operations director of Manchester United, Him Liggett, in a skype interview said, “We now have confirmation from the SGSA (Sports Grounds Safety Authority) that we can make arrangements to install circa 1,500 seats with barriers in the J Stand area, as part of the proposed trial.”

“Due to the ongoing impact of Covid and the fact that we are playing matches behind closed doors, the work to install the seats with barriers will commence early in the New Year.”

January move for Sancho “impossible” for Man Utd; €120 million is the demand, and fast!

January move for Sancho “impossible” for Man Utd; €120 million is the demand, and fast!

With the winter transfer window approaching in less than a month, talks over Jadon Sancho will be circulated once again. The same as they were in the summer. However, Fabrizio Romano, in conversation with BILD’s Christian Falk, made it pretty clear that it would be impossible for anybody to land the winger in January. 

All that said, Dortmund are reportedly still holding out for an offer for their prized asset from Manchester United. Especially because Sancho and United are reportedly in contact and have agreed on personal terms long ago. 

Considering that Sancho is getting older, and more experienced in playing in the highest tier of European football, the €120 million price tag could just be the beginning of the asking price. 

If Sancho has anything close to the season that he had in 19/20, the asking price could easily shoot up to more. 

This is the only part where Manchester United hold the advantage over the other clubs who want the English winger. According to Falk, Sancho has decided to wait at Dortmund for another year, but will definitely want to move in the summer of 2021. 

Should Manchester United not go for their man in the winter, they will have to arrange for €120 million, and do so fast. That is considering that many of the big clubs in Europe will have arranged the money for the signing and that Sancho could have gotten tired of waiting for United. 

All things considered, Sancho himself has acknowledged that the transfer talks have been a factor in his recent drop in form. After managing to rack up over 40 goal contributions last season, his form has not been carried through to the 20/21 season so far. 

The player would be wise to gain consistency in the Bundesliga first before trying to move back to the Premier League for good. 

Haaland to stay at Dortmund till the summer of 2022

Haaland to stay at Dortmund till the summer of 2022

On episode 14 of Fabrizio Romano’s “Here We Go” podcast, the renowned journalist welcomed BILD’s Christian Falk to have an in-depth conversation. Transfer talks dominated the topics, as one can guess, and one of the people discussed was Borussia Dortmund star, Erling Haaland. 

It is surreal that a move for the Norwegian already seems to be on the cards. He joined the club from RB Salzburg barely a year ago, but his goalscoring exploits have made the Golden Boy one of the best strikers in the world. 

The 20-year-old has been linked with every single big club in the world, which is understandable considering his talent at such a young age. The Presidential candidates of Barcelona have promised to sign Haaland if they come into power. 

Elsewhere, a move to his birthplace of England could also be on the cards. Coming back to the origins of the story, Falk and Romano spoke about Real Madrid and Manchester City being interested in signing the forward. 

Madrid need a dependable back up to replace the ageing, but still reliable Benzema. And the same applies to Manchester City, only in their case, it is Sergio Aguero. 

Real Madrid are reportedly set to choose between Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, and they are likely to choose the cheaper option. It is a case of either-or, and most likely won’t be both. 

Haaland will most likely end up staying, according to the two reliable journalists. Since he arrived in January, it is easier to convince him to stay, and also because he is playing so well and scoring so much whilst playing in the Champions League.

The Golden Boy doesn’t have a release clause for 2021, but has a clear-cut one worth €75 million which kicks in from 2022. For a talent of his calibre, every club that can manage to put together the funds will be jumping at the opportunity to sign Haaland. 

Anthony Davis re-signs with LA Lakers on a five-year deal

Anthony Davis re-signs with LA Lakers on a five-year deal

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Anthony Davis’ agent Rich Paul has confirmed that Davis has agreed to a five-year, $190 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. The deal will presumably start at Davis’ maximum salary of $32.7 million for the upcoming 2020-21 season and also includes an early termination option ahead of the 2024-25 season, which will be the fifth year of the deal. Although, with four guaranteed seasons, Davis has committed to the Lakers at least until his 31st birthday.

This agreement comes only one day after big man LeBron James agreed to a two-year, $85 million extension if his own deal with the Lakers. Technically, Davis is under contract for one year longer than James. During the final year of that deal, James will turn 38 years old, and NBA rules restrict long-term contracts from extending beyond a player’s age-38 season. Both James and Davis are represented by Klutch Sports and Rich Paul, and all indications suggest that LeBron plans to spend the rest of his career in Los Angeles. After Davis’ deal, he can feel secure in knowing that Davis will be there with him.

The only drawback is that these deals will limit the Lakers financially, moving forward. Before James and Davis re-signed, there existed situations in which the two could have left money on the table to clear the cap space needed to sign a superstar free agent next summer (presumably, Giannis Antetokounmpo). Now, with James and Davis locked in at the max, that possibility is most likely gone.

Although, coming off of a championship season, such a splurge is not something that Los Angeles necessarily needs. James and Davis could very well be NBA’s two best players entering the 2020-21 season, and the Lakers have also revamped their supporting cast by adding Wesley Matthews, Marc Gasol, Denis Schroder and Montrezl Matthews to the roster. With these players in place, the Lakers are now positioned to contend as long as James remains their big man.

When James will no longer be their superstar, Los Angeles can rest easy knowing that Davis is locked in and ready to take his place as the face of the franchise. In 2019, the Lakers paid a hefty trade sum to land Davis. The move more than paid off considering his performance in the last season’s championship. He will only continue to justify their investment now, with a minimum of four more years as he wears purple and gold.

India clinched a win in the first T20 against Australia

Team India leads by 1-0 in the T20 against Australia series as India defeated Australia in the first of three T20s at the Manuka Oval in Canberra.

The toss was won by Australian captain Aaron Finch and opted to ball first. The visitors scored a total run of 161 runs with a loss of seven wickets.KL Rahul was the highest scorer with 51 runs off 40 balls, adding his 12th T20 half century to the record.

The second highest score was of Ravindra Jadeja with 44 runs off 23 balls. But during his speedy knock, Jadeja picked up a hamstring injury and looked uncomfortable, however, the medical team checked upon him. Later on, he was hit on the helmet by a ball while missing Mitchell Starc’s bouncer and seemed very uncomfortable and limping in the final over for bowling. However, there is controversy over Jadeja’s injury, in case if it’s a concussion. But later on, BCCI announced that Jadeja suffered a concussion. Jadeja was later on replaced by Yuzvendra Chahal. Sanju Samson’s 23 runs off 15 balls also helped India to increase the total run chase.

Australia’s chase started with Finch attacking and smashing the balls in all corners. However, Australian skipper, Aaron Finch’s dismissal helped India to comeback. Adding to that Steve Smith and M. Wade’s dismissal by Chahal was decisive. D.Short and Glenn Maxwell’s wicket by T. Natarajan also proved decisive in India’s win with Hardik Pandya’s catch of D. Short and Aaron Finch.

This T20 win over Australia definitely helped in boosting India’s confidence for rest of the series. Though Ravindra Jadeja’s injury could show some impact but with a good bowling lineup lead by Yuzvendra Chahal, adding a helping hand of T. Natarajan and Bumrah.

Apple to reduce 15% of the App store commission for eligible developers

Apple is always known for bringing up crazy but innovative ideas for its platforms. Recently the company has launched a new service for App developers that has their apps on App Store.  Its new small business program will allow app developers to receive 15% more from App Store sales.

“The vast majority of developers on the App Store who sell digital goods and services are eligible,” stated the company. The developers need to qualify for the benefit by simply completing the company’s enrollment form available online.

According to sources, the eligible developers making under $1 million per year in App Store sales and in-app purchase revenue will be eligible for the reduced commission rate of 15% for the following year. As we already know, the company takes 30% of all App Store revenue on digital items as per its longstanding policy.

Apple’s notes for the scheme is given below:

  • Existing developers who made up to 1 million USD in proceeds in 2020 for all their apps, as well as developers new to the App Store, can qualify for the program and the reduced commission.
  • If a participating developer surpasses the 1 million USD threshold, the standard commission rate will apply for the remainder of the year.
  • If a developer’s proceeds fall below the 1 million USD threshold in a future calendar year, they can re-qualify for the 15% commission the year after.
  • Developers must identify any Associated Developer Accounts to determine proceeds eligibility.

The deadline for enrollment is December 18th, 2020, at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. The adjustment will take place starting from January 1st, 2021. According to the FAQ’s, if a developer applies after the deadline, they must wait until 15 days after they are approved to see the reduced commission rates. So if you are a new developer and have your app running life, then, by all means, hurry up and apply for the new policy change.
