Computers were slowly becoming popular in the US, thanks to products like the Macintosh. But they were still seen as something that were geek/nerd territory, and not for general users. Meanwhile, British rock group Dire Straits had scored what seemed to be a major hit with their album, Brothers in Arms. The band which had been reasonably popular thanks to numbers like Sultans of Swings in the past seemed to have taken a step closer to greatness with the album, which blended relatively quiet numbers like One World and Brothers in Arms with peppy songs like Walk of Life and most notably, Money for Nothing....

The book is based on the premise that India has leapfrogged into the internet era, as opposed to a steady transition that the west (USA) experienced. Thanks to the accessibility of smartphones, it is a revolution in India as opposed to an evolution in the west. The introduction of 3G technology in 2012, and the private sector taking over the telecom industry in the country made this possible. “India Connected” is a timely, nuanced, exploratory journey in a digitizing India....

And at first glance, you would not be able to guess that this is actually the lesser sibling of the Pixel 3 XL. Because it seems to be cut from the same phone-y cloth. Especially when it is switched off, because, at first sight, it seems to have the same design ethos – a front dominated by a display and a dual-textured back, with a shiny, glossy upper portion and a more plain lower one....

In design terms, the P30 Pro sticks broadly to the design of its predecessor – there is no collection of cameras in a square outline a la the Mate 20 Pro but the same vertical capsule like set-up we saw on the P20 Pro (it juts out a bit as well) but adds some Mate 20 Pro magic in terms of gradient finish to its back. We got a unit with the Aurora finish and well, while it is definitely on the taller side at 158 mm, it is impressively slim at 8....

I got access to the device a day ago, and well, I must confess that I am a little confused as to why it has not got more attention. For, what you get with the Chromebook Duet is a 10.1 inch full HD tablet, a full QWERTY keyboard with a touchpad that can be magnetically attached to the tablet and covers its front, as well as a back cover that adds a kickstand to the tablet....

In design terms, the M40 largely follows the M series template with a front that is dominated by the display and a glossy carbonate back. The main new design element is the addition of a punch hole notch in the top left corner of the 6.3-inch full HD+ Infinity O display. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass 3 but is not an AMOLED one, which is a little surprising when you consider that the Galaxy M30 had an AMOLED display....

Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite: Not quite LIKE the S10 Do not get fooled by the name though – it looks nothing like the S10, which looked far more premium with its glass back (the one on its lite avatar feels plasticky), and which had cameras on a straight strip rather in a rectangular enclosure on the back. It is a little on the large size but surprisingly slim (8.1 mm) and relatively light (186 grams) for a phone which packs a large 4500 mAh battery....

(iPhone XS is sitting in a cafe when the iPhone XR walks in) iPhone XS: What took you so long? You are late, my friend! iPhone XR: I had to be. I was launched slightly after you, remember? Jokes aside, I had just gone to check out the new iPhones. XS: So, you have seen them too? XR: Hasn’t everyone? XS: Well…they ARE kind of high-profile. XR: So they are....

The Snapdragon 712 remains in place, with a slightly smaller battery The hardcore mobile gamers might feel just a teeny bit let down by the fact that the processor powering the Z1x is pretty much the same as the Z1 Pro, the very decent Snapdragon 712 AIE, which is a notch above the Snapdragon 710 and supposed to be more than a match for the Snapdragon 675. It is aided in its efforts with 6 GB of RAM and two storage variants of 64 GB and 128 GB, though alas there is no expandable memory option....

Over the past few years, Jio has become one of the largest mobile data networks in the country and has been consistently ranked as the fastest network in the country. And with OnePlus stepping-in, the company aims to offer the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro users a seamless high-speed data experience with high-speed data, free HD voice, and premium content. This is not the first time Jio is offering a special offer for OnePlus devices....

The iPhone XR is tops! Right, it does not have a full HD display, has a single rear camera, does not have an AMOLED display, is considered overpriced even after price cuts and is the bestselling smartphone in the world. Yes, the iPhone XR was the highest-selling phone of the year and by a massive margin too. It shipped 26.9 million units over the first two quarters of 2019, which is more than the phones at number two (the Samsung Galaxy A10 with 13....

https://youtu.be/ksnvi6c9sAk When Alexa goes missing, in step the stars The first voice is of Gordon Ramsay who (as Alexa) is highly disappointed in a 32-year-old gent who asked him the recipe for a grilled cheese sandwich. The next one is Cardi B, who only plays “Bodak Yellow,” no matter how much the user insists she plays country music. Then comes Rebel Wilson, who is asked to set a mood for a party but makes the scene a little awkward with her alluring voice and inappropriate jokes....

Manu Jain shakes his head in mild disbelief when asked how his journey with Xiaomi has been since 2014. He may be an ‘Internet entrepreneur and wannabe cartoonist’ as per his profile on Facebook, and he might also be the co-founder of Jabong, but it is as the country head of Xiaomi that Manu Jain is best known. Oh, and as Xiaomi’s “Mr. Handsome,” as the company’s global vice president Hugo Barra refers to him (see him smile and you will know why!...

Install Codecs It is surprising that Microsoft hasn’t provided enough codecs to its media player. As a result, Windows Media Player can only play a handful of multimedia files. To expand its codec library and be able to run all the new and popular file formats, you are required to install tons of codecs. But since Microsoft doesn’t provide those codecs you need to look elsewhere. There are many 3rd party codecs packs available, but K-Lite Mega Codec Pack stands tall amongst all....

About two years ago, the first pirated movies were posted on YouTube; however, it did not take long until they were taken down. Since a year ago, though, these movies are back, and everybody started replacing Reddit with YouTube when it comes to black-hat options. These are the so-called “cammed” movies – illegally recorded in cinemas and uploaded to the internet afterward. Being still a new way to watch films online for free, many of us are yet not very familiar with how to find them....

I’m talking about the standard display size in the smartphone market. In the last three to four years, almost every phone’s spec sheet had at least one major common detail – the screen size.[stories-so-far title=”Also Read” post_ids=”66345, 78865 ,28251″] Regardless of the price range, they are targeting, the majority of phones right now come with a 5.5-inch panel on their front. Some are higher resolution, some are OLED, but they are of the same length diagonally....
