The bit about the attractive discounts does seem to be right. We scanned the store very casually and came across classics like Khushwant Singh’s Train to Pakistan for Rs 49, Arundhati Roy’s award-winning The God of Small Things for Rs 99 and Ramachandra Guha’s Gandhi Before India for Rs 240, all of which are a fraction of their paperback, and even their general Kindle prices. A statement from Niti Kumar, SVP, marketing, digital and communications, Penguin Random House India, hinted that the decision to open an exclusive ebook store was influenced by the COVID-19 crisis....

Google’s Android operating system is without doubt a success story in the world of smartphones. From a market share of around 3% as early as 2009, the OS now runs on over 50% of new smartphones sold worldwide. The media, television and film industry might have a love affair with Apple and its iOS platform but it’s Android that powers more new smartphones than any other. Depending on which analyst you pay attention to, the smartphone OS market currently consists of Android in number one position (with approximately 50% market share), Symbian in number two (17%), Apple’s iOS in number three (15%) and BlackBerry in number four (11%)....

Oh yes, you should head back to the privacy settings under Account tab or just click here to go to the privacy tab directly and have a look at how your current privacy settings look like. This is how my settings look like. Except for the Bio, I do not share anything else publicly. I believe anyone with an iota of care about their privacy should also do the same....

One can check out the feature by heading over to the new section, which asks for your introduction and lets you update the same. The feature walks you through various sections like features photos, and only once all of this is done will you be able to see the “Discover People” section. Tucked below the option is Upcoming Events, which shows the people planning to attend the events; needless to say, the “Upcoming Events” section is populated by linking the interests of the users....

But what if you’ve password-protected your notes on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac and forgot Notes password? Obviously, you won’t be able to access them. Nor will Apple be able to help you regain access to your locked notes.

Update: Apple confirms it slows down older iPhones However, these accusations did not have any analytical or official base… until today. Geekbench founder, John Poole claims that Apple has been throttling your iPhone’s performance so that it doesn’t die at unusual levels. Through a series of tests performed on the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 7 running different iOS versions, Poole discovered that Apple has introduced a separate mode which becomes active when the battery begins to deteriorate....

The A1 Plus is all about being muscular and doesn’t even remotely make an attempt to be skinny or slim. Weighing a good 226 grams and 9.1 mm thick, the phone has a very premium look and feel to it, thanks to its metal unibody design. The big fella is hefty, but the rounded edges and frame plus the slightly curved back is an attempt to help one handle the phone better – the back of the phone is a tad slippery, and the heftiness would want to shake hands with gravity all the time....

Well, something similar has happened in the case of the Gionee A1. The phone was launched with a focus (pun intended) on its 16.0-megapixel selfie camera, backed with a high-profile Selfiestan ad campaign featuring Bollywood star Alia Bhatt. But after a few weeks of using it, we really think that there is more to Gionee’s flagship other than a high megapixel front-facing camera. Selfiestan? Yeah, but “normal”istan is good too!...

Essentially this looks nearly similar to its predecessor except for some subtle changes here and there. The Google Chromecast Ultra comes in a flat round shape with the prominent G logo facing upwards. The company has also included an Ethernet port in the power cable of the Chromecast this time around....

In addition to boosting the pace at which your Pixel 2 processes images, the co-processor will now also allow third-party apps to leverage the company’s HDR+ technology. To kick things off, Google has introduced three partners — Snapchat, WhatsApp, and Instagram. Therefore, the quality of pictures you take on these applications should, more or less, match that of the phone’s native camera app. More apps should presumably follow in the coming months....

Google didn’t wait until the I/O conference that starts on May 15 and made official the redesign today, after a couple of leaks have surfaced recently. As you can see from the pictures, the new user interface is somewhat card-based, with bigger images that make the overall appearance much cleaner. The Android team says that it is now easier to find the content that you’re looking for, be it games, music or movies....

Unlike the iOS, Android is a diverse ecosystem and it powers devices across different price range and segments thus currently making it impossible for Google to be at the helm of the affairs. As of now Google has been commissioning the manufacturing to companies like LG, Huawei and Motorola each year when it comes to Nexus devices. Now it seems that Google wants to tighten the noose and curtail the power of the manufacturers by taking complete control over the Nexus lineup....

While a Telegram group is restricted by a limit on the number of members, and therefore is ideal for sharing things with friends, families, and colleagues, a Telegram channel, on the other hand, can have unlimited subscribers, which makes it perfect for broadcasting messages to larger audiences. If you’re an individual or business planning to set up a Telegram channel to broadcast your messages, here’s a guide with instructions to help you create a Telegram channel on:...
