That plastic is also responsible for some judging the headphones too harshly. Many people who saw them felt they looked a little on the cheap, plasticky side – we had the blue units for review, and to be honest, they did have a rather plasticky sheen to them. Some might consider them to be funky, but most people who saw them shook their heads at the design and at the fact that the earcups were not designed to seal out sound like other headphones (like Motorola’s Pulse Escape, which comes in the same price segment)....

The journey of an iPhone The one-minute ad starts with an iPhone 7 Plus on a white background with a picture on its display. As it proceeds, the ad shows a series of images and videos playing on the iPhone. A series which basically tells the story of its owner with the help of images and videos. The iPhone in the ad is then handed over to be refurbished. After this, the ad implies that the smartphone now belongs to someone else, who is making memories of his/her own, and in Apple’s term “doing their own great things with it....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKok5dykRBM Apple recently released a short ad to remind us how it does bokeh on the iPhone. But does it bokeh-out its competition? “Who is blurred out there in the background?” “Depth Control — Bokeh’d” is a 38-second spot that begins with a small group of moms sitting and scrolling through the pictures of their kids. As one of them is swiping through the pictures, the second mom notices something in a photo and asks her friend about the blurred out kid in the background....

Every year around this time, Apple releases an ad that is all things magical. The ad is not your typical advertisement that only exists to amp up sales. The annual holiday ad is more about celebrating the spirit of the holidays than about promoting products. And keeping up with the tradition, Apple has released its holiday ad for this year. It mainly features Apple’s HomePod Mini and its magic....

In the beginning, was the PlayStation! And he was always one for the gadgets. “The first gadget that I ever really wanted, probably a PlayStation, when I was younger, to play my games on,” he says, when asked about his first gadget. “Yeah, that’s probably the first gadget that I ever wanted.“ He got it too. “I did, I was very fortunate,” he recalls. “I was very lucky. Christmas present....

Those lines are from the 2007 Hugh Grant – Drew Barrymore starrer “Music and Lyrics” could well describe the state of LG when it comes to mobile phones over the past four years. “Trapped in the past I cannot seem to move on…” The Korean giant seemed to have arrived as a challenger to Samsung with its Nexus 5 and the G2 scoring heavily in terms of design and functionality – the G2 was actually one of the first high-end devices that attempted to minimize bezels and also tried rather innovatively to place some controls on the back of the device....

Until recently, Samsung had the most powerful smartphone on the market, the all mighty Galaxy S 3. A smartphone that came with a heap of great advancements and awesome features. But, as recent events showed us, the reign of the SGS is coming to an end. The other manufacturers are developing smartphones that can threaten the throne of the SGS 3, and the two most prominent of them are the iPhone 5 and the LG Nexus 4....

That is almost certainly the first question that is going to be asked by anyone who claps their eyes on the Logitech MX Mechanical Mini keyboard.

To which, Aul had said that all such users will get the final update on July 29 — the day desktop versions of Windows 10 is scheduled to go live....

That’s why I didn’t have too high expectations from the Surface RT and not even from the Surface Pro tablet. Reviews for the Surface RT slate have proved me right. And in even in the software field, Microsoft has done a big mistake – the confusion created amongst users when it comes to the differences between Windows 8 and Windows RT. And this clumsy move has been felt also in the differences between Surface RT and Surface Pro....

If you work from home, it might also be essential for you to get your mobile data working again as soon as possible....

The Moondrop Chu are a very different kettle of audio fish. They bring some very premium feels to the budget audiophile IEM section at their price of Rs 1,999/ USD 25 (sometimes even lower), both in terms of design and audio. Moondrop Chu: they look nice We are used to a slightly low-key (sometimes shabby) design when it comes to budget IEMs but the Moondrop Chu look surprisingly premium. The buds are slightly convex and have a smooth finish with the images of some leaves on them (we have heard more than one person wonder if it was ‘weed’), and the cable connecting them has a red and blue color pattern, giving these buds a very distinct appearance....
