Just like its younger sibling, the DTEK 60 too is made by Alcatel. In fact, it’s a slightly modified version of the flagship Alcatel Idol 4S.

If you’re on Mac, macOS gives you a built-in screen capturing tool to take screenshots and record the screen conveniently. However, even though this native tool works well, it isn’t very versatile due to the lack of multiple capturing modes and a missing built-in editor for editing the captured screengrabs. As a result, you must rely on third-party screen-capturing apps for these operations. Capto is one such app for Mac....

It may be free and a mere 894 KB download on our Nexus 4 (when was the last time we downloaded a mobile game THAT light?) and a 2.4 MB one on our iPad mini, but we are going to put it on record – Flappy Bird is one of the most difficult and infuriating games we have played. And this, when on the surface, it is shockingly simple – you have to keep tapping the screen to keep a small bird in the air and help it get through a tricky path, between some obstacles, and the further you get, the better your score....

Sharma, who is an excellent communicator and is seen by many as the first high profile CEO of an Indian tech company, instead chose to speak of his own humble roots, how he had borrowed Rs 3,00,000 (about USD 4000) from his father and then with his partners started Micromax....

Anime Studio is essentially a 2D vector graphics drawing package linked to a keyframe animation engine. By no means limited to the Japanese style from which its name derives, Anime Studio can handle several different types of animation – including point and layer animation. But its main strength lies in its proprietary Bone animation method. This involves constructing a virtual skeleton for each character, the bones of which you then move around to make the character move....

The reason for this confusion stems from the fact that in terms of overall shape, both devices do bear more than a passing resemblance to each other.
