We are talking about the Macintosh TV. It was released more than 25 years ago on October 25, 1993, and represented Apple’s first attempt at blending a computer with a television. Before you ask, Steve Jobs was not at Apple. The man who had ousted him, John Sculley, had himself quit a few days before the launch of this device. Michael Spindler was in charge of the Cupertino ship, which was beginning to ship some water....
Looks We decided to make this a confrontation between the two most sensational looking variations of the devices – the red Mi A1 and the blue Honor 9 Lite. And well, although the red Mi A1 is definitely an attention grabber with its sleek metal frame, we really think that the mirror finish on the Honor 9 Lite is something else. The 9 Lite simply is the most premium looking device in its price segment – of course, that back will pick up smudges, but we think people will not mind polishing it....
iPhone X, where’s the ‘S’? Confession: we were actually very tempted to just go with our first impressions of the iPhone X here. Let’s not kid ourselves: the two devices are pretty much THAT identical in terms of looks. But then for those who have been living under a rock and decide to come out only to read the first impressions of the iPhone XS, here goes nothing. Just like the iPhone X (and we will try to resist the temptation to use that sentence opener), the front of the iPhone XS is almost all covered with the display, paired with the (in)famous notch....
Smart looks! Mind you, it packs enough of a punch to be considered a formidable proposition in its own right. The design is classic Realme 6 – the front is all 6.5-inch display with a punch-hole notch, wit Gorilla Glass, and the plastic back (it does not look bad at all!) has a gradient finish with a quad-camera capsule-like unit on the back with the camera on the top being highlighted with a yellow circle (no, no dramatic logos on this one)....
Generally trendy with a touch of unconventional Glass backs are in. Color gradient is in. Shades of blue are in. And guess what? The Vivo V15 Pro brings all of these three elements to its design language. Dipped in two shades of blue (dark around the corners and light in the middle), the glass bearing back is anything but subtle, and shines. When held on a certain angle, you would be able to see the slanted pixelated lines under the glass that add a bit of texture to the flashy smooth back....
It might sound like a different version of the Vivo V20 which was released earlier, but the SE is a very different kettle of phone-y fish. Unlike the V20 which seemed to have taken a page out of the design manual of the X50 Pro, the V20 SE is a bit more…well, conventional. A very good looking conventional, we hasten to add. We got the Gravity Black edition (there is also Aquamarine Green) and it certainly was head-turning material....
The recent article by WSJ reveals that this very problem has been troubling the Google Researchers in the Silicon Valley. Apparently, one in three smartphone users in India was running out of the space on their phones every day. The issue was promptly traced down to a bunch of good morning messages, memes, cute cats and other such chirpy forwards. It so happens that the millions of Indians who are getting online for the first time take it upon themselves to send greetings from their phones....
Over the past couple of years, Torrents have become a great source of latest Downloads. And be it on my blog or in the forums I am active on, many people keep asking the same questions all the time – How to improve my Torrent download speed? My internet connection seems slow and torrent download speed is suffering. What to do? How to bypass Throttling of torrents from ISP? How to improve, increase, boost, accelerate my Torrent download speed?...
Lite-On developed the Smart Erase technique to give users a reliable way of erasing the data on CDs and DVDs without damaging the disk. This technique is compatible with all CD-R and DVD-R disks, not only their rewritable counterparts. Smart Erase overwrites the data contained on the disk with random characters much like the tools that can erase files or the free space of a hard drive so that the data is not recoverable afterward....
Bookmarking our favorite websites or something interesting we found on on Internet is a thing all of us do. This feature that all web browsers have has allowed us to get rid of the old text file filled with links and move toward something much more integrated and customizable. We can now organize bookmarks, share them and even Import and Export them to other browsers or computers. What is a bookmark?...
As you might all know by this time, Google has come out with a brand new social networking service to rival the ever-growing Facebook, aptly named Google+. The service is currently invite only, but is getting a lot of traction from early users (including me). In case you are already on Google Plus and wishing to move all (or selected) Photo albums from Facebook to Google+, you would first need to transfer the photos to your Picasa account and then link them up on your Google+....
Slices of special lives Apple has released four ads in the campaign so far, all titled, “Behind the Mac”. Three out of the four ads have a similar storyline and show how Mac notebooks (we use the term “MacBook” and “Mac” here to cover all Mac notebooks in the ad– it is simpler that way) help them in their daily lives, whereas the other ad is a combination of several different slices from the entire campaign (clearly there will be other ads in this line – these are just the first three)....
His track record pretty much speaks for itself – he has been at the helm of OnePlus ever since the brand came to India in 2014. And in this period has made the brand one of the leading players in the premium segment of the smartphone market – seeing off challenges from not just traditional heavyweights like LG, Sony and HTC, but also weathering storms from newer players like Xiaomi and Asus – indeed at the time of writing OnePlus was right alongside the likes of Apple and Samsung in the premium segment in India....
You say that arcade times are long gone and now is the time of Android and iOS? I say true, but only partly. Presenting, in no particular order, 10 classic arcade games remade specially to run on Android OS: 1. Pac-Man Courtesy of Namco, the hungry, little yellow head is back, ladies and gentlemen, and ready to chomp on the ever well known dots and fruits!

According to Apple, Live Text can identify different kinds of information within photos (including screenshots) you capture or images you save off the internet. So you can click on a word to look up its definition, tap on an email address to send an email, or click on a phone number to make a call or send a message. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to use Live Text on your iPhone....
But now, a new year, which we hope is filled with exciting technologies, awaits you. And with that, new resolutions as well. Hence, here are six technology habits you should try to adopt in 2018. 1. Desktop Backup Tool Backing up your computer should be at the top of your resolutions list this year. No, I’m not talking about manual disk backups here. Instead, I’m suggesting a cloud-based utility such as the Google Backup and Sync tool, which quietly runs in the background and uploads all your essential files to your Google Drive account....
I know this is a very crude way of listing sites, will rearrange when I find time, until then… Know more websites? Let me know!
The Bharati Airtel’s acquisition of Telenor India comes soon after the news broke out regarding a possible merger between leading telecom operators Vodafone and Idea. As per an official statement. Airtel has entered into a definitive agreement with the Norwegian company and a final go-ahead will require regulatory approvals. With the acquisition in place, Airtel is set to take over all of Telenor’s assets and current user base of 44 million subscribers....
On the surface, though, Android Oreo isn’t the most exciting update Google has introduced, but if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find it loaded to the very brim with a plethora of under-the-hood enhancements. Upgrades that, apart from sounding attractive on Google’s presentation slides, prove to be effective. I have been using the new update on a Pixel for quite awhile now and here is what I learned....
As per the report, Apple is mainly planning three new laptops. These include an upgraded MacBook Pro with the latest Intel Kaby Lake processors, a refreshed 12-inch MacBook with a “faster Intel chip”, and lastly, the company is considering updating the terribly aged (it was last updated in 2015) 13-inch MacBook Air with a new processor. The primary rationale behind bringing the MacBook Air into the market is that the company is losing grounds when it comes to cheap computers as Windows notebooks and Chromebooks continue to soar....
