Google takes a small step to improve collaboration on its mobile productivity suite, Firefox gets pushy with new notification support, Apple updates Snow Leopard (for real!), and more in today’s news leftovers.
- Mozilla Firefox can now send push notifications directly to your desktop. The latest update to the browser, Firefox 44, adds support for notifications from sites even when they’re not open in your browser. [Mozilla via The Next Web]
- Google added mobile commenting to its Docs, Sheets, and Slides apps today, as well as a simple way to tag people in comments. See their cake-focused demo below. You can also comment on documents that are not about cake, though I wouldn’t encourage it. [Google Docs Blog]
- Surprise! Apple just issued a small update to Snow Leopard today, the first patch in years. The purpose of the the update is to ensure compatibility with the Mac App Store, or as Ars Technica puts it, “Apple updates Snow Leopard so you can continue to upgrade from Snow Leopard.” [Ars Technica]
- Also falling from the Apple tree is iOS 9.3 beta 2, which is now publicly available to test. Nothing drastic from previous the previous 9.3 beta of course, but you can now control Night Shift mode from the control center. [9to5Mac]
- Facebook reaction emoji are coming in the next few weeks. The reaction buttons have been testing in non-U.S. markets for some time now and are said to be launching soon, according to an extensive Bloomberg Business report about the design of the buttons. I wouldn’t say I like the idea, but I do :simple_smile: it. [Bloomberg Business]
- Malwarebytes has a new tool to protect people against ransomware. Ransomware, which literally encrypts your data until you pay a ransom to the attacker, isn’t exactly a common or frequent threat, but it does exist. [The Next Web]
