Conversational computing platforms and its origin Although, till date, most of the computing platforms have owed their existence to the US, conversational computing platforms might be something that would owe its existence to the east and China in particular. It wouldn’t be incorrect to say that China’s Tencent pioneered the concept of conversational computing platform through its WeChat application.

By signing up for Google Photos, users are essentially agreeing to share gigs of data with the search engine behemoth. Switching off the backup feature effectively makes the app kaput and restricts you from using any of its intelligent tools. Of course, Google Photos is designed to take the hassle out of managing or looking through hundreds of pictures or videos. Therefore, disabling the backup and restore feature is certainly counterintuitive....

The BHIM app can be regarded as a rebranded version of the Unified Payments Interface or UPI app that was launched by Narendra Modi earlier this year in August.

With the app in place, users can make payments by simply using their Aadhar number, bank name, and fingerprint....

PwnageTool 4.01 was released yesterday by the iPhone dev team to jailbreak iOS 4.0 on iPhone 3GS. But PwnageTool is only for Mac. For Windows users, RedSn0w 0.9.5 beta 5 was the only jailbreaking tool available which doesn’t work for iPhone 3GS.

A few days back, we told you about an option to get the Windows 7 DVD from retail stores or download Windows 7 ISO directly from its servers online....

That might surprise some people. We mean, music is just a file playing on your device, right? Sure, it will consume some battery or electricity, but that’s necessary for the device to function, isn’t it? It would consume battery anyway doing something else if the music was not playing on it. Well, there’s a little more to it. If you are streaming music, you are accessing information on a server....

With the latest edition of the G series, however, Motorola seems to have finally come to the tech spec wars. To an extent anyway. In a manner that is rather reminiscent of a company with a fruity name in Cupertino, Motorola has opted to go for two versions of the fourth edition of the Moto G – one that seems to be sticking to its ‘experience over spec sheet’ positioning and another which seems aimed at those who like to check their spec facts and figures before investing in a device....

For this reason, most people tend to prefer PDF files over Word documents or Powerpoint presentations. Being such a widely used format, it is important to know how you can edit such a file without having to pay extra fees.

The biggest of them is how Android smartwatches handle notifications. Instead of a single alert taking up the entire screen, the page now is essentially a list of your pending notifications which you can easily scroll.

The Play Store in China has not been banned per se but Google doesn’t allow users to buy paid or premium apps. This has lead the developers to ignore the Chinese market and on the other hand even if the phone was preinstalled with Google Play Store the users in China would only be able to download free apps. That being said, Google is yet to back up the confirmation and even Xudong preferred not to go in details about the same....

Samsung-oriented website SamMobile has managed to obtain exclusive images showing the 18.4-inch monster tablet from Sammy. Judging by its size, we’re not sure if this should be considered as a rival to the iPad Pro, as Apple’s mammoth tablet has a size of 12.9-inch. To be frank, the Galaxy View is simply Samsung’s biggest tablet in their lineup and shouldn’t literally be taken as a rival to any other device out there....
