Mass Effect 2 is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, i.e 26th Jan 2010 in America and just 4 days before its official release, it was leaked on to the torrent websites for free download. Both the PC and Xbox-360 versions are available and being downloaded in full swing. This is really a shame and a huge loss for the gaming industry. TorrentFreak reports that the PC version of the game is about 14GB in size, while the XBOX 360 version is about 13GB....

Microsoft has already filed for a trademark for Ruuh on March 15 according to which the chatbot will talk about the area of interest primarily evolving around Chatting, Bollywood, Music, Humour, Travel and Browsing the Internet.[stories-so-far title=”Also Read” post_ids=”77000, 78596″] Tay.ai was the first chatbot that was created by Microsoft Research and Bing Teams and was designed keeping in mind 18 to 24-year-olds. The ugly turn of events resulted in the Tay being trained by the users to act racist before it was eventually taken down by Microsoft....

Initially launched in China in June this year, the Meizu m3s is a slight change to the original m3 that was an unveiled towards the beginning of this year. Upfront, the Meizu m3s sports a 5-inch HD display which is in turn covered by a 2.5D curved glass. The budget smartphone from the Chinese firm comes in a metal unibody design that’s quite similar to the one seen in previous devices from Meizu....

In theory, this should result in a performance boost of upwards of 30% as the new chip has six cores compared to 4 on the previous one. The notebook has a standard 15.6-inch FHD display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and a screen to body ratio of 81%. The IPS panel can accomplish a max brightness of 300 nits and is flanked by a 1MP web camera on the top with a 720p resolution....

Much like Xiaomi’s MI, Micromax YU will offer software and services, and a customised experience to the users. To achieve this, Micromax has tied up with Cyanogen Inc, the makers of hugely popular Cyanogen OS based on Android. The new brand, in partnership with Cyanogen, will focus on working with various companies to build a layer of services into the operating system itself, much like what Xiaomi is doing with its MIUI....

The change will be based on how efficiently Edge browser will be handling the flash content. Since flash content has been ridiculed for being resource hogging and also relatively unsafe, Microsoft wants to give more control to the users and also introduce automated controls. It is every Internet user’s nightmare to come across auto play flash content that not only messes around with the user experience but will also slow down the entire browser....

Microsoft To-Do has been developed by the team behind Wunderlist, the Berlin-based startup acquired by the Redmond giant two years ago. To-Do aims to become everything Wunderlist couldn’t – smarter and aesthetically more modern. It features all the essential ingredients required in a to-do app such as adding tasks, reminders, deadlines, notes, categories but the cornerstone here is something called “Intelligent Suggestions”. Unfortunately, though, you’ll have to use a Microsoft account to sign up and I hate to tell you this, it’s still a terrible experience....

The milestone was reached on Monday, when a billion people used the service, according to founder Mark Zuckerberg, who said the following: “We just passed an important milestone. For the first time ever, one billion people used Facebook in a single day. On Monday, 1 in 7 people on Earth used Facebook to connect with their friends and family. When we talk about our financials, we use average numbers, but this is different....

The biggest new option is the WiFi connection; but the true techies out there knew that it was only a matter of time, as there’s always been a disabled WiFi chip inside. With this new option, you’ll be able to use your Moto 360 when you are out of Bluetooth range from your phone. The battery has been improved since the Android Wear 5.0.2 update, perhaps that’s what was needed for the WiFi support to be enabled....

In terms of design, the new 13-inch MacBook Pro follows the same design language as its previous models, with a sleek aluminum unibody chassis that comes in space gray and silver colorway. Upfront, it includes the 13-inch Retina display with 500 nits of brightness and support for P3 wide color gamut. The display leverages Apple’s True Tone technology to provide natural colors and reduce eye strain to enhance the viewing experience....

Nokia 5310: Design and Display To start with, the all-new Nokia 5310 takes a fresh approach with the design elements but still builds upon the old aesthetics. The phone has a rounded design and a curved edge around the display. There is a numeric pad along with a five-way navigation key giving the old-Nokia vibes. Moreover, it also includes dedicated music buttons, something found on the original Xpress music, to offer quick and easy controls while playing music....

Similarly, Noise’s other offering, the Noise ColorFit Pro 3, which also comes with a large display and multiple health-tracking features, became its best-selling product in the last quarter. Building on this momentum, Noise recently announced two new smartwatches to expand its flagship smartwatch portfolio in the country, the ColorFit Pro 4 and the ColorFit Pro 4 Max. Both these smartwatches feature significant upgrades over their predecessor, the ColorFit Pro 3, and are targeted at different audiences....

The rumor mills claim that Nokia Flagship will employ a large circular disk to house the camera lens unit much like the yesteryear’s Nokia Lumia 1020. Apparently, it will have five holes for the lens and another opening for the flash unit. It’s also quite possible that Nokia might incorporate the rotating lens technology, for which a patent has already been filed. The Miniature zoom camera from the Zeiss includes a mechanism wherein multiple lenses can be rotated and thus will help in changing the focal length and also offer a much larger zoom range....

The Lumia 630 comes in five bright colours with swappable shells for those who like to customise the looks of their smartphone. It carries a 4.5-inch WVGA display (845×480 pixel) with ClearBlack technology and Gorilla Glass 3 on top of it. Nokia is playing around with its hardware with some strange choice of internals. The Lumia 630 is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor and has just 512MB of RAM....

1. More than game for videogames! Like most high school kids, Jai Mani was also into videogames. But make no mistake, he was not just into videogames, he played in a team. It might not have been a professional gig but he was part of a league and as per him, they were the best team in America back then. Pretty cool, eh? 2. Upgraded game, destroyed computer, got first tech job!...

Max-Q fundamentally attempts to reduce the size of gaming laptops by optimizing the GPU and its consumption. Once implemented, it allows the premium GeForce GTX 1080 to be operated with significantly less power. By reducing the intake by half, manufacturers can drastically mitigate the thickness of ultrabooks without worrying about heating issues or any other similar hurdle they were previously confined to. Moreover, the company says that the software they’ve included improves thermal management by “balancing the work done on the CPU and GPU” while processing a resource-intensive task....

Devices even in the budget segment have started looking more premium than ever (check the Realme 6 Pro and the Redmi Note 8 Pro if you believe us not) and the premium ones have obviously taken their design game up by several notches. It has almost become routine for devices to come with tall, bezel-less, notch-donning displays on the front and shiny, glossy glass or glass-like material with different patterns on the back....

An almost two and a half minute long ad, “Stop at Nothing” features Bollywood actress Kalki Koechlin and her spoken word poetry that puts a lot of emphasis on how one needs to take time to disconnect and use the technology around one to connect, create and communicate. The ad starts with text on the screen that reads, “Stop at Nothing”, “Written by Kalki Koechlin”, “Shot on OnePlus”. The visuals are basically of artist’s with a lot of visual effects while she recites her spoken word poetry....

What’s special about the OnePlus Concept One? OnePlus has partnered with McLaren and taken inspiration from the sunroof on their cars to come up with similar technology for smartphones. The material, known as electrochromic glass, can turn from transparent to opaque when electricity is passed through it and that’s exactly what OnePlus is using on the back of the Concept One to hide the rear cameras when they’re not in use....

The price tag. Both start from Rs 24,999 So it was hardly surprising that notwithstanding the projected differences in positioning, people were asking how the brand new OnePlus Nord compared with the slightly older Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro. Well, let us find out, shall we? Design: Distinct meets divisive In terms of design, the Redmi K20 Pro and the OnePlus Nord come from two very different schools of thought. We got the relatively subtle black shade of the K20 Pro for this comparison, but the phone also comes in shades of red and blue that grab attention like few phones have in recent times, thanks to the flame-like gradient patterns on the back (check some product shots in our review)....
