The Sennheiser HD 4.20S looks just like any other over-the-head wired headphones. But the anatomy of the headphones is a little different than most headphones falling in this price bracket (Rs 5,990). The frame of the HD 4.20S is made up of plastic which makes it very light and portable. But even though it is made of plastic, these headphones are not like any other touch-me-not product and are quite sturdy, with padding on the inside of the top of the frame to ensure it does not “bite” into your cranium....

“What’s so special about it?” That has been the call that goes out pretty much every year a new iPhone is released in the Indian market at a premium price. This year has been no different. With the iPhone 6s starting at Rs 62,000 and the iPhone 6s Plus at Rs 10,000 more, there has been a storm of outrage that almost borders on the moral from a number of people, ranging from mainstream users to tech experts and pundits....

The T-Mobile US is part of an elite club of telecom operators that have been able to thrive despite being late to their markets. I know very few telecom operators that have managed to do well despite not being an incumbent. SoftBank of Japan and Free Mobile of France are two other examples. A key reason for T-Mobile’s success has been John Legere and his marketing. There are very few CEOs who have made use of Twitter as well as John Legere has....

“I aten’t dead” (yes, she was better at casting spells than spelling words). That sign would not be out of place on the Samsung Galaxy Note. For, after yesterday’s Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event, there has been a sentiment about the Galaxy Note that has stopped just short of writing obituaries for the device that spurred the big-screen phone (“phablets,” remember). The reason for this death-belief is obvious—2021 might not see a Galaxy Note being released at all, and Samsung is moving the S Pen stylus, the most distinct feature of the device, to a number of other devices, most notably the Galaxy S series and in the Galaxy Fold 3....

OCR technology is nothing new. There are multitudes of quality OCR software which helps you convert images and scanned documents into editable text. But in this age of smartphone dominance, having some usable OCR apps is much desirable, especially since the smartphones these days come with high-quality camera which can be used to scan the document or image. Android and iPhone OS have managed to dominate the smartphone market and no wonder we see a multitude of OCR apps (free and paid) available on both these platforms....

Tor Project has released the beta version of its Tor Messenger, which, as you’d expect, is a chat client which brings anonymous, “off-the-record” chats based on Tor’s secure browsing system. The new Tor Messenger is actually based on Instantbird, an instant messaging client developed in the Mozilla community. The technology used to develop the app is built on Instantbird but all the traffic is being routed through Tor. The chat client works cross-platform and it supports a wide variety of transport networks, including Jabber (XMPP), IRC, Google Talk, Facebook Chat, Twitter, Yahoo, and others....

Call Reason To give you some background, Truecaller added the Call Alert feature on the app sometime last year, which gave users a notification before someone on the other end placed a call. And now, it is further adding to the functionality with the Call Reason feature. The company says Call Reason has been one of the most requested features by its users in 2020. By incorporating it, it seems that they are expecting the call pick-up rates to go up, especially for cases where callers call with new numbers....

There are times when you have to give your phone to someone else, and in some cases, you are wary of that person’s intent. In such scenarios, you are always on the look for a third-party app that allows you to lock WhatsApp and keep it safe using either a passcode or your biometrics. Unfortunately, unlike Android, that allows you to download a third-party application to lock apps on your phone, iOS does not provide the same privilege, and thus, it is very much up to the app developer whether they feel the need to include such a security feature on their app by default....

It enables users to use an app in a floating window. The window can be overlayed on any other app and can be moved around to any corner of the display. This enables you to focus on both apps side by side. It can be better defined as a refinement of the multi-window feature that debuted with Android Nougat....

For the longest time, people have been keying-in user credentials across all their devices manually. And to keep things simple, they have been using the same password for all their accounts, which is a bad practice and leaves your account vulnerable. Therefore, it is always advisable to choose a strong, complex and different password every time you signup for a new service. With hundreds of services available on the Internet and people owning dozens of accounts across these services, it becomes tough to remember passwords for every individual account....
