Google has been facing the heat in recent times due to the ever-increasing popularity and growth of Facebook. Though Google has always maintained that Facebook is not in direct competition with them, it was apparent that they would try doing something to get a step ahead. The recent tweet from the Digg founder, Kevin Rose adds fuel to this rumor. Notice the words – huge rumor, but Kevin is not someone who would simply stir up a hornets’ nest without an ounce of stuff in it....

The Note proved many of us wrong on that count. What the iPhone did for touchscreen phones, the Note did for large screen ones. However, for some reason, the S Pen did not quite spark the stylus revival that some had expected it would. Phones did keep getting bigger, and even the Note’s bet noir, the iPhone had to come out with Plus and Max editions to keep up with the phablet phenomenon....

Ironically, in all the aforementioned labour harassments cases, the exploited workers were mainly immigrants; and it’s the same in this case. As per the report, most of the workers working in the supply chain of the two of the largest electronics brands are from Nepal. The workers are mainly involved in manufacturing and assembling of household electronics including microwaves. The report alleges that while the work is back breaking and requiring inhumanly long hours of labour and patience, the pay isn’t really up to the mark....

Atul Dhal, a resident of Delhi’s Mayur Vihar-I was traveling on the flight to Indore with his family when smoke was seen coming out from his wife’s handbag. The handbag was apparently kept below the passenger seat and contained three smartphones among all other stuff. It was soon found out that a Samsung Galaxy J7 was the reason behind the emerging fumes in the cabin. The phone was soon isolated by the cabin crew, and attempts were made to douse the flame....

Unlike last year’s model, the Samsung Galaxy On7 (2016) sports a full metal unibody design and comes in three color options namely Rose Gold, Gold and Black. That aside, the internals have received a major spec boost. The lower mid-range smartphone from Samsung now comes with a 5.5-inch Full HD (1920x1080p) panel as compared to the HD panel seen in the last generation. Besides, the Galaxy On7 2016 is now powered by an octa core Snapdragon 625 SoC and 3GB RAM....

However, as of writing this, Apple doesn’t offer automation triggers on the Mac Shortcuts app as it does with its iOS or iPadOS equivalent, leaving users with no choice but to run shortcuts manually on their Mac. Fortunately, there’s a way around this, and it involves using an app called Shortery. In this guide, we’ll check out Shortery and list down the instructions to use it to automate your shortcuts on the Mac Shortcuts app....

In case you own either of the two headphones, here are a few tips and tricks to get the most out of your headphones....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzMLA8YIgG0 The Surface Studio apparently seems to be Microsoft’s take on the iMac. Precisely speaking, it builds upon a standard PC and integrates features that were so far limited to a laptop, and well that’s what Surface Studio is folks. The AIO from Microsoft comes with a 28-inch PixelSense LCD monitor which the company claims to be the thinnest available in the market. At 12.5mm it’s indeed remarkably slim. The Pixel Sense touchscreen LCD monitor is contained in an aluminum exposure and is said to output 13....

There are actually a few theories regarding the path that lies ahead for technology. One of the vast and interesting theories is the idea of the Technological Singularity. In short, this idea theorizes that, in the technological advance, machines will be able to reach the complexity of the human mind and surpass it....

We are not going to get into the tech specs of those two worthies or their design – both have been given enough space already. Suffice to say that both represent the pinnacle of phone technology for each of their brands. They are, in a word, flagships. They are also warriors trying to win back territory that each of their brands has seemingly ceded away. Cast your mind about a year back around this time, and it seemed to be the best of times for both Samsung and Xiaomi....

Apple’s new iPad launch also made the Apple Pencil an integral part of the iPad ecosystem. Yes, it is still not bundled with any iPad – you have to purchase it separately – but for the first time since the Apple Pencil was introduced, we now have five different iPad models supporting it, across five different display sizes ranging from 7.9 inches to 12.9 inches. All of which is a far cry from the time when the Apple Pencil was first introduced – as a very pricey add on to the elite iPad Pro range....

The new Oppo A7 comes with a disappointing 6.2-inch 720p screen and is powered by a low-end Snapdragon 450 chipset. There’s 4GB of RAM, 64GB of onboard storage which is expandable through a MicroSD card, and a 4230mAh battery. The camera arrangement is the same as the RealMe 2 as well (which starts at Rs 8,990) — a 13-megapixel primary lens paired with a 2-megapixel sensor on the rear and a 16-megapixel snapper on the front....

Fast forward to today and well, things seem different. Markedly so. You can now get a very good smartphone for as little as USD 110, and flagships start at around USD 250. And guess what? The company that sold the most 4G handsets in the Indian market as per some reports, does not even have an ad campaign, leave alone a celebrity endorsing it. And if you want a terrific phone today, well, the regulars are there, but are by no means dominant....

Microsoft was kind enough to make file search fast and easily accessible in Windows 7 and now 8/8.1. This capability is granted by the indexing service which constantly scans files and keeps them ready for a user enquiry. With that being said, Windows 8 is somewhat different when it comes to fast file search, as the familiar Start Menu hasn’t made the cut from Windows 7 and so the very useful search bar is now a charm which to be honest, doesn’t do justice to its predecessor....

Mozilla Firefox has a built-in security feature where it can block some attack sites and web forgeries. It works fine, but in my opinion, it is a little annoying when I want to ignore the warning and continue accessing the “attack site”. The best one is probably McAfee SiteAdvisor, a shareware has a pro version that costs $19.99 per year where it shields your PC from dangerous Web sites, no matter where they appear....

Aside from the fact that it’s exceptionally well at identifying and blocking spam, part of the reason for Truecaller’s success also lies in the fact that it’s been constantly updated over the years to increase its effectiveness at fending off spam calls and messages from fraudsters, telemarketers, and spammers.
