Developers of a new app claim it can determine the date of your death by analysing data on your lifestyle, height, blood pressure, sleep and physical activity.
The app, called Deadline, uses iPhone's Healthkit to "determine your date of expiration."
Healthkit tool records statistical information, like the user's height and diastolic blood pressure, and monitors their sleep and the amount of steps they take in a day.
The Deadline app analyses data on your lifestyle, height, blood pressure, sleep and physical activity.
Using this data and a short survey with more questions about their lifestyle, the app determines the approximate date and time of a person's demise, and then counts down how much time they have left, 'bustle.com' reported.
The app's developers Gist LLC pointed out in the product's description, "no app can really accurately determine when you will die."
Instead, the company suggests using the app as a way to monitor your own health and motivate yourself to make better lifestyle choices or consult a physician, if necessary. Users can change their predicted date of death by following a healthy diet and an active exercise routine.

Tinkering with a compass + contempt for school and authority + thought experiments + having an office next to a clock tower and a train station + a government job with a boss who turned a blind eye to what he did at work = genius.
Thinking Visually
There is more to it, according to Walter Isaacson, the biographer, Einstein was an obsessive reader. There was a school that practiced a new teaching method – a visual thinking method. There was a lover, the only female physics student, who became a sounding board for Einstein’s early work. There was an uncle who was an electrical engineer, letting Einstein ticker with lights. And another rich uncle in Belgium who was certain Albert was a prodigy ever since he was a kid.
How Einstein Really Started – A Thought Experiment
But what was at the beginning of it all? According to Walter Isaacson’s book, it was a compass. A five-year old Albert was lying in bed sick when his father brought him a compass to play with. Albert asked how it worked. No, just saying that compasses work because of Earth’s magnetic field was not enough. He wanted to know how it really worked. He wanted to visualize it.
Since that encounter with a compass, and many books later, there was one book that especially stuck Albert’s imagination. So much that he started visualizing in his head everything he read in it. This book was People’s Book on Natural Science. The author specifically asked his reader to take an imaginary trip through space. And Einstein did. At 15, while walking around Italian countryside, he first imagined what it would be like to ride along a beam of light. That was his first thought experiment, one of many more that would later make him who he became.
About his thought experiments, Einstein famously said;
The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.
Editors' Note, November 3, 2014: The link to the Gmail 5.0 APK has been updated to point to a newer version.
The newest version of the Gmail app features auto-updating email threads, the ability to add accounts from other email providers and Exchange support. This means that you'll no longer need to use two separate apps to access your email.
Want to try it out? Luckily, Android Police has just acquired the Android package (APK) of Gmail 5.0, and has shared it on its APK Mirror website. This means you can get a copy of it now and don't have to wait for the update through Google Play.
The APK is signed by Google, which guarantees its authenticity.
Here's how to get started:
Setup
Grab a copy of Gmail 5.0 from APKMirror. Once the download finishes, tap the notification and then press the Install button. This APK is signed and authentic, meaning that it will upgrade the version of Gmail you currently have installed.
Adding an account in Gmail 5.0. After the app introduction, you'll be prompted to sign in. You can use your current Gmail if you want to get into the app right away or you can add accounts from other providers. The new version of Gmail supports accounts from Yahoo, Outlook, AOL Mail and others that use IMAP/POP. However, these accounts will not use push notifications, and you'll be asked to set a sync interval. Switch between accounts.
If you add multiple accounts, you can switch between them by opening the left-hand slide-out menu and swiping across your profile banner. You can also tap the small arrow and choose an account from the list.
Exchange support
If you want to add Exchange support to your Gmail client, you'll need to download an additional APK.
If you installed Gmail 5.0 first, you may need to force stop your Gmail app in order for it to recognize the Exchange capabilities. This can be done by going to Settings > Applications > Gmail > Force stop.
After this, you'll be able to add your Exchange accounts just like the others above.
This new version is very similar to the last, save for the Material design and under-the-hood account support.
Google has announced the creation of Indian Language Internet Alliance (ILIA), in partnership with leading Indian technology and content companies, to promote the growth of of Indic-language content on the Internet.
Network 18 is one of the founding members of this initiative and is represented by IBN Khabar and MoneyControl Hindi.
ILIA wants to be able to turn 300 million Indian language speakers into active Internet users by 2017 and the alliance would work towards accelerate building of Indic language content.
To support its effort in showcasing Indian language content on the web, Google announced the launch of www.hindiweb.com, which, according to the company, would enable Hindi speaking Internet users to discover the best Hindi content across websites, apps, videos and blogs. Google also demonstrated Voice Search in Hindi, at its event in New Delhi.
According to Google's figures, there are over 200 million Internet users in India, about 16 per cent of its population of 1.2 billion. Practically all of the India's English-speaking population of 198 million is already online. The remaining 90 per cent of Indians who are not online tend not to be English speakers.
Google, which currently offers voice search in English, has also added Hindi language service and plans to add other languages like Tamil, Marathi and Bengali to the list in coming months.
"India has about 200 million Internet users with about 5 million new users being added every month with 100 per cent coming through mobile devices. At this pace, India will overtake the US in terms of number of users in the next 12 months," Google India Vice President and Managing Director Rajan Anandan told reporters here.
However, only 198 million people in the country are estimated to be proficient in English with most of them already on the Internet, he added. With that in mind, the Indian Language Internet Alliance (ILIA) has been formed, he said.
The day is finally upon us - the Gmail 5.0 APK has landed, and we have it for your (production-signed) downloading pleasure.
As we've expected since we first saw the app more than a week ago, the new Gmail is very... "material." It's got a FAB, the beautiful thread interface we've come to know and love from Inbox, and a drawer that complies with guidelines.
But Gmail's beauty isn't only skin deep - the app holds some new features, too. The first one we noticed is of course support for corporate/exchange accounts, a capability that obviates the stock email app and promises to unite all your inboxes under one roof (unless of course you're using Inbox, which supports neither Exchange nor Google Apps accounts).
There may be even more goodies hiding in the new app, but while we dig around, head to the download below to get it for yourself. Note that if you want to enable Exchange support you'll need to install both of the APKs listed below.
Download
The APKs are signed by Google and upgrade your existing app. The cryptographic signatures guarantee that the files are safe to install and were not tampered with in any way. Rather than wait for Google to push the download to your devices, which can take days, download and install these just like any other APK.
Google Fit is Google's answer to Apple's Health app. It uses the sensors built into your device to automatically track activities like walking, biking and running. You can also use it to keep track of your fitness goals and weight-loss progress over the past day, week and month. The Google Fit app is available as a free download in the Play store. It also comes preloaded on Android Wear watches and can be accessed from Google's website.
Unfortunately, installing Google Fit on your mobile device will wipe any activity tracking data you have on your Android Wear watch.
Get started
It's quite simple to set things up. After you have downloaded the app on your mobile device, you must agree to Google's Terms of Service, hit Next and grant Google access to activity information and location history. The location data lets you see your progress throughout the day and the location of where you exercised. For example, mine tells me that I took 2,598 steps around 8:48 am while walking in New York.
To set it up on the Web, go to the Google Fit website, select your Google account and agree to the company's Terms of Use.

Set goals
Google's default goal is set at one hour of activity each day, but that may be too much or too little depending on your fitness level. This can be customized by clicking on the Menu button (it's that icon with three vertical dots in the top right corner of the screen), selecting Settings and tapping Daily Goals. Here you can change your daily activity and daily steps goal. Doctors recommend adults walk at least 10,000 steps per day.

Make it personal
Now that you have set up your account and changed your daily goals, it's time to make things a little more personal. Once again, click the Menu button and select Settings. Scroll down and you will see an area to enter your height and weight; if you continue scrolling you will find options to switch between different measurement units. There is also an option in the Menu button for you to add your daily weight. This can be used to track your daily, weekly or monthly weight loss.
The Google Fit app will periodically send you reminders and goal updates. Not interested in these reminders? There is an option in the settings menu to disable both notifications and sounds.
Add an activity
Not everyone enjoys exercising with their phone. If that's the case, click the Menu button and selectAdd Activity to add workouts you have done without your phone. From here you can choose between walking, running, biking or other activities, and add the amount of time you exercised for. Google will add the active time to your profile, and for activities like walking and running it will estimate the amount of steps you took.

View your data
Data can be viewed from the past day, week and month on both the Google Fit app and website. On the main page in the mobile app, scroll to the bottom and tap the "See graph details" option. The top-left pull-down menu lets you switch between the day, week or month, while the top-right pull-down lets you toggle between active time and steps. Below the main chart you will the option to add a secondary chart for weight and heart rate.
Charts can be viewed on the Google Fit website by clicking on the circle that displays your active minutes and steps.
Connect third-party apps
Fitness devices and apps from Strava, Withings, Runtastic, Runkeeper and Noom Coach can connect with Google Fit to show all of your data in one place. At this time, Google's partner apps have not yet updated to enable Google Fit integration, although the feature is said to be "coming soon."

Delete your data
Not enjoying Google Fit? Maybe you're not comfortable with Google having all of this data. Click theMenu button, select Settings, and tap Delete History. While this will delete all of your Google Fit data, it may also prevent some of your connected apps from working properly.
With the view to help you improve your fitness, Google has launched a new fitness app. Named Google Fit, the app lets you track your activity.
Google Fit uses sensors already built in to your Android phone to automatically detect walking, biking and running. You can also set and monitor your fitness goals based on your activity levels. It also allows you to check your progress as you work on your fitness goals.
Google Fit is available on Google Play for devices running Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich and above.

Users can access Google Fit from their phones, tablets, desktops and Android Wear devices.
