One of these features is what Apple calls “Lift subject from background.” As the name implies, this feature allows you to lift the subject from an image’s background—just like removing the background from an image. Here’s what you need to know about this feature and the steps you need to follow to isolate subjects and remove backgrounds from photos on iPhone. What Should You Know About the Lift Subject from Background Feature in iOS 16?...

Now, it seems that a new version of the HTTP standard is ready to be deployed, promising faster loading webpages and less load on servers. Mark Nottingham, chairman of the IETF HTTPBIS Working Group, says that the specifications for HTTP 2.0 have been formally approved. HTTP 2.0 is designed to load Web pages faster and to use significantly fewer connections, thus lowering the load for servers and networks. The new HTTP 2....

The company has announced the Talkband B2 successor to the TalkBand B1 that we saw last year and also introduced a really curious N1 earbud hybrid. But the steal of the event seems to be the Huawei Watch. Let’s have a look at more details and see what the new device come with. Huawei Watch There’s a lot of talk around the Apple Watch, as the device is said to basically redefine the nascent smartwatch market, but before it launches, the Android Wear army is strengthening their weapons....

Betting on cameras again… Cameras have been at the forefront of Huawei’s recent flagships, alongside some rather eye-catching design, especially in the P series. The P9 and P10 came with dual cameras with a Leica tie-up, and the P20 Pro takes the camera stakes a notch higher in numerical terms – claiming to be the first smartphone to come with three cameras. In fact, on paper, the P20 Pro packs in four cameras with a total of 92 megapixels between them – at the back, there is a 40....

The Resume’ Am willing to Tear down walls, Build bridges, And light fires. I have great experience, Lots of energy, A bit of that “vision” thing And I’m not afraid to start From the beginning. Legacy If Apple becomes a place Where computers are A commodity item, Where the romance is gone, And where people forget That computers are The most incredible invention That man has ever invented, I’ll feel I have lost Apple....

It’s plastic and fantastic! Jabra has clearly worked hard on the design and made the Elite 75t even more compact as compared to the Elite 65t, which themselves were rather small. The earbuds come in a compact carrying case with the brand’s name engraved on the front. It is a flip-open charging case (it can be flipped open easily, just with a push of the thumb) which is home to our tiny buds....

But what does it mean for the company? Ive is still in charge of the company’s industrial design and user interface divisions, but he won’t have to worry so much about administrative and management work, which is unarguably best for both him and the company. Over the years, we’ve learned that Ive isn’t much of a public speaker. Even at new product launches, Ive hardly ever attends events to discuss the new iPhone, iPad or iOS, as learned from Ive’s profile by Ian Parker for the New Yorker earlier this year....

It’s a general fitness tracker Let’s clear few things right off the bat. This tracker is not a high-end product which will tell you everything about your body and is not here to compete with fitness trackers from companies like Fitbit. It’s a general fitness tracker for those who would like to keep track of their steps, heart rate, sleep patterns and a bit of notification from there phones. It’s a companion device which can motivate you to move, but if you are sportsperson who would need a lot of details post workout sessions, you should not be opting for this....

Rick Osterloh, Motorola’s chief operating officer told CNET at CES 2016 that Motorola will be replaced with “Moto by Lenovo” with the iconic bat-winged “M” logo staying intact. Lenovo is expected to continue using the Motorola name in organizational settings. So there will be two primary smartphone brands – Moto and Vibe, much like how it has been in the recent past, albeit with a more prominent Lenovo branding. It was no secret that Lenovo bought Motorola Mobility primarily from the branding perspective and break into new markets, as Google retained most of the patents....

The design is pretty similar to the Lenovo S920 and other phones in the S-series. The backpanel is a polycarbonate plastic which doesn’t feel cheap, but not premium either. We have come to use and accept 5-inch phones these days, so in a way it doesn’t feel odd in hands. Also, being a phone just 6.9mm thin and weighing just about 121 grams helps Lenovo Vibe X a great deal....

Line is especially popular among Asian users, but it seems that with its recent efforts, the company is trying to expand and obtain more international users, as well. If you’re not yet familiar with the ‘launcher’ concept, what you need to know is that it takes central control of an Android device, allowing you to customize the look, feel and usage. The new launcher coming from Line isn’t actually new, but it’s more of a rebrand of the old dodol Launcher....

Sound issues on Mac are pretty common. You may run into them when you connect or unplug an audio accessory during playback, use an app that accidentally misconfigures sound settings in the background, update to a buggy macOS version, or sometimes, for no apparent reason at all. If you’re experiencing a sound glitch on your Mac, wherein there’s no audio from internal speakers and increasing/decreasing volume isn’t helping either, there are some really effective fixes that can help you fix the audio problem on your Mac....

We all have a handful of friends who dedicate a sizeable amount of their lifetime in sending forwards and pictures to all. It is these pictures that snowball and hold the internal memory hostage. In most of the cases we can entertain the possibility that the resulted trash accounts for couple of GB’s. Coming to think of it can be a nightmarish affair to filter and delete each messages individually....

Master Password is available for: iPhone, iPad and Mac users; for Windows desktop users, for Android and as a web app (still in beta). Master Password is said to be based on an ingenious password generation algorithm that guarantees your passwords can never be lost. This new service doesn’t save your passwords in an encrypted vault or in the cloud, being generated on-demand from your name, the site and your master password....

Cortana is Microsoft’s take on the voice assistant service set to lock horns with Google’s Google Now and Apple’s Siri. Cortana, as Joe notes, is the first voice assistant to truly understand what users want, it is completely personalized and will learn and shape itself with your habits as you use it. “When we started working out with Cortana, we asked many real-world personal assistants about how they do their job,” said Belfiore during today’s keynote....

As with most of the launchers, the main page displays the apps that are most frequently used blended with the contacts and a reminders screen, and another screen which shows my recent activities as well, slick indeed. The launcher also comes with quick toggles for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and these are the features mighty useful if your phone comes with stock Android. Another useful bit at least for my usage is the pop up, quick access drawer which brings shortcuts to the most essentially apps and contacts, and it also has an access to the launchers setting letting you fiddle with its appearance in a jiffy....

The updates trickle down to the devices only after the manufacturers write the drivers for the hardware which is usually closed source making it increasingly difficult for the OEMs to support the device. If the device has not been popular, irrespective of the price tag, manufacturers usually tend to skip them from the update list. Now adding to the problem is the fact that even the carriers are involved in this entire affair and they are often responsible for the snail paced update seeding process....

Rdio has confirmed in the blog post that it will be shutting the shops in coming weeks, till which the services will be uninterrupted. This is not the first time the Digital Music economy had to face the wrath of sketchy economics along with the issue of loyalties to the music labels. The chances are that someone other than Pandora might just come and buy the Rdio. The company said in a statement “While we are filing for bankruptcy, because the planned sale to Pandora is contingent on such a filing, by law Rdio is required to entertain competitive offers during the bankruptcy process that is being managed for us by Moelis & Company....
