And Poof! Google Previews Its Own Content Delivery Network

And partners like Akamai should be worried.

Well this is interesting. Just weeks after inking a deal with Akamai, the leader in content delivery network (CDN) services, Google is now previewing an early version of its own Cloud CDN service, according to the company’s website.

This service appears to build on the company’s existing content network—the purpose of which is to put all sorts of data types, big video files etc., as close as possible to users to speed up response time. All of those locally cached files means less delay between you clicking, for example, on that YouTube link and actually seeing the video play. Google already has partnerships with Akamai AKAM 0.81% , as well as with other CDN providers like Cloudflare, Fastly, Level 3 Communications and Highwinds.

The difference here is that Google is automating the service and making it more broadly available to third-party customers.

Here’s how Google GOOG -0.29% describes its latest entry, which was first spotted by VentureBeat:

Google Cloud CDN uses Google’s globally distributed edge caches to cache HTTP(S) Load Balanced content close to your users. Caching content at the edges of Google’s network provides faster delivery of content to your users while reducing the load on your servers.
On Wednesday, Fortune reported that Google, which is building its Google Cloud Platform business, may use those existing network end points to put more computing power, sort of mini-data centers, in more locations worldwide. That would help it catch up to Amazon Web Services AMZN -0.37% and Microsoft Azure MSFT 0.53% , both of which currently host more cloud data center facilities globally than Google.

What is new in the latest Google post is not the CDN itself, but the linkage between the CDN’s edge caching stations and the load balancer which, as its name implies, divvies up traffic among the various caching stations. Also new is that any type of content, not just object files, can make use of this service.

This could be a first step toward using Google’s caching end points as cloud service extenders, as reported. Or perhaps not. Fortune reached out to Google for comment and will update this story as needed.

Google is stepping up its war on adware

Scammy programs and browser extensions are a persistent problem on the web, but web companies are starting to take them seriously as a threat to the web. In a post today, Google surveyed the past year's efforts to fight unwanted software, and came away with some impressive statistics. Chrome user complaints about unwanted extensions dropped from 40 percent to 20 percent of total complaints, spurred by an aggressive banning campaign earlier this year. At the same time, more than 14 million Chrome users removed unwanted extensions and the number of unwanted-software-related warnings on Adwords dropped 95 percent.

That's good news, but it's just a dent in the larger adware ecosystem. In May, a study found that as many as 5 million computers visiting Google sites are infected with some form of adware, and Google believes that one in 10 Chrome browsers have some form of hijacked settings. Now that unwanted software warnings have been folded into Chrome's Safe Browsing feature, the browser displays more than 5 million such warnings a day.

5 MILLION CHROME WARNINGS A DAY

To lower that number, Google has launched a number of new initiatives. Earlier this year, Google shifted to a stricter pre-approval process for downloadable content on Adwords, rather than trying to catch unwanted programs after the fact. Google Search also began deprecating sites that serve unwanted software, and added a design element to highlight the canonical source of free programs like Twitter, Firefox, and Slack, making it harder for third parties to distribute adware-bundled versions of the software.

Still, Google's powers are limited, particularly for non-Chrome users. "We only cover parts of the web," said Moheeb Rajab, an engineer on the Google security team. "It's an open platform, and effective protection for users will take wider participation from the industry."

In the past, adware manufacturers have looked to Adwords as a way to distribute software, but recent changes have made the platform much less hospitable. Google's own data estimates that less than 1 percent of unwanted software is served through Adwords. Still, the company's critics aren't entirely mollified by the shift. "These efforts are all going in the right direction, but one might reasonably wish that Google had done more earlier," said Harvard Business School professor Ben Edelman, a longtime Google critic who has also consulted for Microsoft. "Indeed, it’s not hard to find Google’s systems still supporting deceptive software. In my work testing adware forensically, I still see this often. Still, I’m glad Google has engaged with these issues with renewed vigor."

This simple trick will speed up your iPhone

Want your iPhone to run faster? Here's a clever tip that's doing the rounds

If you've got an iPhone and you occasionally find it running slower than you'd like, here's a handy tip to get it running faster.

The trick was discovered by self-confessed Apple fan Marc Forrest, whose tweet from November has picked up a huge amount of interest over the past few days:

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it.

1. Unlock your iPhone so you're viewing the home screen.

2. Hold down the power button to activate the ‘Slide to Power Off’ message.

3. Release the power button, then press the Home button for five seconds.

These steps will refresh your phone’s RAM, killing off processes that might be slowing your phone down.

Marc, who blogs about tech issues at marcforrest.com ,says: ‘I have done a number of tests to see if it works and I can promise it helps speed the phone up, a LOT!’
