A common gripe, especially among concerned parents, is that there's no strict age ratings system in place, and since regulations vary from country to country, the Play Store has been a bit of a free-for-all at times. Now, though, the Big G has introduced a new age-ratings system that adheres specifically to the country or location that an account is based in, and the company has also revealed that its app moderation / approval process now includes human beings.

Initially, it'll only launch on the company's Motorola-built Nexus 6 smartphone, and although there's no word on when or indeed if the network will support further handsets in the short-term, it's likely that Google will expand pending a successful introduction.

The View-Master To Return As A VR Headset Thanks To Google, Mattel Deal [Video]

Ben Reid·February 14, 2015

If you can remember some of those ancient products that entertained us long before the age of the smartphone, you'll no doubt recall the View-Master. An iconic, binocular-like device, you would hold it up against your eyes and scroll through a set of enchanting frames, giving the impression of virtual reality.
