Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Review Trying To Fill Big Shoes With A Tall Display

The Note 4…with a taller display! The design of the Redmi Note 5 is kind of conflicting. The face of the smartphone is where all the major change has happened. It is the aspect of the smartphone which will make you feel you are holding the successor of the Redmi Note 4. With the Redmi Note 5, Xiaomi has stepped in the tall, 18:9, “almost bezel-less” mid segment smartphone community....

Update: Another loophole detected. Windows 8 Promo Code Gaffe Lets Anyone to Upgrade for $14.99 Yes, it does make business sense to rope in as many genuine buyers as possible, but it’s still surprising that Microsoft is willing to sell them the latest OS version at a nominal price of $39.99, a huge discount of $130 over the final retail price. Users in several underground forums are reporting that they were able to upgrade and activate Windows 8 Pro after legally purchasing it for $39....

Tech Ad Ons Behind The Mac Was The Mac Left Behind

Slices of special lives Apple has released four ads in the campaign so far, all titled, “Behind the Mac”. Three out of the four ads have a similar storyline and show how Mac notebooks (we use the term “MacBook” and “Mac” here to cover all Mac notebooks in the ad– it is simpler that way) help them in their daily lives, whereas the other ad is a combination of several different slices from the entire campaign (clearly there will be other ads in this line – these are just the first three)....

Tech Ad Ons Moto Z2 Play Dear Samsung Say Hello Moto

https://youtu.be/Dw7verGkl5c The ad itself: An Up-graded ad? Titled, “Up-upgrade”, the ad spans 36 seconds. The ad begins with a guy (who looks a lot like the guy in the Samsung Galaxy “Growing Up” ad) walking away with a smirk – hey, remember he had finally grown up from an iPhone to a Galaxy Note 8! He then opens the door of his house, sits on the couch and takes his new phone (which seems like a Galaxy Note 8), and starts watching a video of him and his wife on it....

M1 Makes The Macs Mad Again And Steve Would Have Loved It

Apple rocks but…”Steve would not have liked this” However, that reputation has taken a bit of a beating in recent times. Apple is still one of the top tech companies in the world but has been increasingly seen as getting more conventional, following trends more often than setting them. And of course, a lot of people very conveniently lay the “blame” for this at the door of the man who succeeded Jobs, Tim Cook, very conveniently forgetting that this man oversaw Apple becoming the first trillion-dollar company in the world....

Micromax S In A Red Mi Real Me World No Longer Just About Price

So coming back to that world with its IN series of devices – the IN Note 1 and the IN 1B – should be the most natural and comfortable thing to do, shouldn’t it? Well, it might be natural, but comfortable? Perhaps not. This ain’t the same mid-segment, folks And that is because the mid-segment that Micromax so effectively created at its peak has now changed very significantly. In the era of Micromax (2011-2015), this was a segment that was defined by low specced offerings from brands like Nokia, Samsung, and Motorola....

Microsoft says that this alteration will bring around 35% decrease in updates’ size when going from one major update of Windows to another.
