Google Now Contextual Photos backgrounds in Seoul

Over at his Google Operating System blog, Alex posted about how the background image in Google Now has changed for some people from the generic-but-cute default Google pictures to pixelated cityscapes that appear to be from the users local area.

I noticed this in my Google Now several weeks ago, but to be honest I just assumed everyone saw this same image. I sure didnt recognize it as being from the local area then. But in fact, it looks like other Korean users are being shown the same image, so it must be from Seoul.

Heres what I usually see:

My Google Now card, showing the background cityscape

Detail view of Google Nows (Seoul?) skyline image

If I had to guess, Id say that tall building near center-right is the 63 Building (?? ??). Compare this scene with photos taken of it such as this one here and this one here. What do you think? Same scene? I cant seem to find exactly the shot that Google is using here, so anyone has any more information, let us know.

UPDATE 2015-01-12:

Wonhyo Bridge (?) background in Google Now

Well look at that, I posted yesterday and suddenly today, another image is available. This one looks to me to be the Wonhyo Bridge (????). Compare the image with these photos.

UPDATE 2015-01-17:

Seongsu Bridge & Namsan Tower background in Google Now

Here is yet another that showed up yesterday. This one pretty clearly shows the Seongsu Bridge (????) at foreground with the N Seoul Tower (N????) on Namsan (??) in the background. Compare Googles image with this one taken by Robert Koehler. Pretty spot-on. Incidentally, visit Roberts blog for more great photos of Korea.


At any rate, I think most of these photos are pretty... pretty ugly. The weird pixelation makes it look childish and a bit distracting. I like the sentiment behind it, but surely there are better photos they could have chosen.

Air Quality card in Google Now in Korea

I noticed a new card appearing yesterday in my Google Now stack, an Air Quality card:


Must have been that breezy winter storm that cleared the air, because that seems to be the cleanest Ive ever seen it. Ive blacked out my location, which was accurate to the "-gu" level.

I quite like this feature, as I used to have a bookmark in Chrome to check out the air quality. I wonder if Google noticed this in my web history and thats why it started displaying the card? Id be curious to know if any other Google Now users in Korea are seeing this.

It seems the info is provided by the "Korea Environment Corporation"; when you tap the bottom of the card, it takes you to their, how can I put it lightly, non-mobile-optimized homepage.

I did a quick Google search for "Google Now air quality card" and saw nothing in the results. Could it be a new feature? Any one outside Korea seeing it? Maybe a nice little Christmas gift for us Korean Google fans? ^_^

Amazon now requires 5 digit Korean postal code

Earlier I wrote about the new 5-digit Korean postal code system that came into effect last month two months ago (August 2015). Time flies. Anyway, if you like to order from Amazon, just a heads-up: youre going to need to start using those new codes. Heres an email I got from the zon:

We recently learned that South Korea will change the postal code from six digits to five digits. As a result, we will no longer be able to deliver items to any South Korean shipping addresses with a six digit postal code.
In order to ensure you receive your shipments without delay, youll need to update your shipping addresses to reflect the updated five digit postal code. You can do this by following these steps:
1. Go to Your Account (www.amazon.com/your-account).
2. Click on "Manage Address Book" in the Settings section.
3. Click the "Edit" button to update the affected addresses.
We apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions or issues updating your addresses, please contact us:

Google Now cards from G Market

For a while now, Google Now has recognized when I receive an email from the Korean online shopping site G-Market. Even though the confirmation and shipping update emails are in Korean, Google Now still shows cards in English letting me know the package has shipped. Im not sure if it works for other online shopping sites.

CyanogenMod 12 1 for O 8 38 now released!

I am back with another ROM, I introduce to you CyanogenMod 12.1 for O+ 8.38. I cannot take screenshots of it today because it is already night and in beta stage, at least this was less harder than porting CM10 to Alcatel OT-4030.

Atmel Studio 7 is now live!

Arduino co-founder Massimo Banzi introduces Atmel Studio 7 and one of its unique features, which enables Makers and designers to import their Arduino sketches and then debug their code.

---

Atmel Studio 7 is free of charge and is integrated with the Atmel Software Framework (ASF)—a large library of free source code with 1,600 project examples. ASF strengthens Atmel Studio by providing, in the same environment, access to ready-to-use code that minimizes much of the low-level design required for projects. Standard IDEs are suited for creating new software for an MCU project. In addition to this, the Atmel Studio 7 IDP also:

• Facilitates reuse of existing software and, by doing so, enables design differentiation.
• Supports the product development process with easy access to integrated tools and software extensions through Atmel Gallery.
• Reduces time to market by providing advanced features, an extensible software eco-system, and powerful debug integration.

One of the benefit for Arduino developer is Atmel Studio 7 features seamless one-click import of projects created in the Arduino development environment. Your sketch, including any libraries it references, will be imported into Studio 7 as a C++ project. Once imported, you can leverage the full capabilities of Studio 7 to fine-tune and debug your design. Atmel Studio 7 fully supports the powerful embedded debugger on the Arduino Zero board. For other Arduino boards, shield-adapters that expose debug connectors are available, or switch to one of the many available Xplained-Mini/PRO boards to fully leverage the Atmel HW eco-system. Regardless of what you choose, you will surely make something amazing.

An introduction to Atmel Studio 7, the free integrated development environment (IDE) for MCU development using Atmel | SMART ARM-based and AVR MCUs.
