Project Fi emails are hitting inboxes, but they're not the illustrious invites you're looking for

If you're signed up to get in line for Project Fi, you may be waiting for a while.
Project Fi email
According to an email that was just sent out to potential Project Fi customers, invites are being pushed out as fast as possible while keeping user experience in mind, and it may take until the middle of summer to finish processing the backlog of invite requests. Apparently the new wireless service is seeing "very positive" feedback from those who have received Google's SIM card in the mail, which doesn't come as much of a surprise considering the audience for Project Fi right now.
If you have yet to receive that coveted Project Fi invite, join the club — just know that there will be an invite hitting your inbox soon enough.

Google Play Books gets a handy Night Light feature in latest update

Image
Google Play Books is one of the best apps available on Android for reading books, but sometimes the app can be annoying to use late at night. This is why Google today introducedan update to Play Books that brings along with it a new Night Light feature, which will make reading your favorite stories at night much easier on the eyes. When the Night Light feature is turned on, the app will gradually filter blue light from your screen and replace it with a warm, amber light as the sun sets. The feature will automatically adapt to the amount of natural sunlight outside based on the time of day, which will allow you to read the text on your screen in just the right brightness and temperature. 4 Turning on the feature is easy, too. Just update your Google Play Books app to the latest version, open a book, and enable Night Light by tapping on the pop up. After it’s been turned on, Night Light will stay on and continue to adjust for the perfect setting. Night Light is...

Android 6.0 Marshmallow: everything you need to know

Image
Android 6.0 has been named and its name is Marshmallow. / © androidupdt Android 6.0 Marshmallow The Google Developers blog post didn't mention many specifics for the Android 6.0 Marshmallow release, so details are still relatively sparse. It did say that the final Android 6.0 Marshmallow release date would be "later this fall", but we kind of already knew that. It did give us more information on Android 6.0 Marshmallow features, though, in the shape of a  changelog  for API level 23. There aren't many changes in the Android M developer preview 3. As the blog post states: "Compared to the previous developer preview update, you will find this final API update fairly incremental." The two most significant changes are user-facing app permission controls – what most are calling granular app permissions – and the change to API level 23, which introduces stock fingerprint scanner support for Android 6.0 security. Here's the short version from...
