Every single year technology companies have a little bit of fun on April Fool's Day by releasing absurd, yet almost believable stories of some new product or feature.

Well, yesterday I saw this article which spoke of a new secret gesture that lets you zoom in and out smoothly on Google Maps without having to resort to the two-fingered pinch-to-zoom feature.Apparently, there really is a (not-so-much-anymore) secret gesture for zooming in and out of Google Maps with just a single finger, and it works on both iOS and Android devices.You all probably already know that if you just double-tap the map with one finger, you'll zoom in incrementally with each double-tap until you can't anymore. To zoom out, you'd double-tap with two fingers. But if you want the smooth scrolling capabilities without pinching, this is how you do it.To zoom in, all you have to do is double-tap a location, but make sure to hold the second tap. Then just drag your finger up. To zoom out, you can do the same thing, except you slide your finger down instead. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video.

Android phones have had facial authentication even before iPhones got Touch ID. In 2012, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich had a feature that scanned your face using the front-facing camera to unlock the phone. It worked well in sufficient lighting, because there was no specialised equipment that made faces visible in the dark.

That said, they really don't get in the way when you're using the phone (as the background is so black, it merges well with the phone and your eyes get used to looking at the rest of the screen-space as the browser) It's worth nothing noting in many applications, the soft-keys degrade themselves to little faded dots so that they're semi-hidden.
