To remove such needs and cut the company’s loses, VMware is set to bring its Horizon Mobile technology to iOS devices, thus removing to carry two or three phones to work just so the company could easily reach the employee. In a few words, the software emulates a virtual device on the iOS platform and deploys all the benefits of a “work” phone/tablet onto a personal device.

If you follow the news it might be very likely that you have heard of the Apple Vs FBI case wherein the latter asked Apple to unlock the suspects iPhone and also ready a backchannel for future iPhones. Now WhatsApp seems to have directly challenged the eavesdroppers and the agencies by introducing the encryption for the individual chats. Mind it, introducing the encryption means that Government and other enforcement bodies will no more be able to spy on individual’s data and yes snooping is now going to be a lot more difficult....

Two years ago, Marc Davis, a partner architect at Microsoft spoke at the SXSW conference, in his talk, “Demystifying Online Privacy and Empowering the Digital Self”. Back then, he raised many interesting questions and revealed interesting facts. In the last couple of decades, there has been a massive drift in the way we deal with and consume data. Thanks to the ever speedy and affordable internet connection, we consume GBs of data every day....

From the looks of it, the Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 appears to have a similar design language as the Mi Air 2, which are again, also similar to the Apple AirPods. However, unlike the AirPods, the earbuds appear to be slightly thicker and have a boxier case. The earphones come with a 14.2mm dynamic driver and suggest to offer support for LHDC (Low Latency High Definition) audio codec to provide high-quality audio over Bluetooth....

A major reason for this growth, as per the report, was the online market, which registered a 19.6 percent year on year growth, with online sales accounting for 40.2 percent of the market in the first quarter of the year. Offline sales had relatively flat growth, evidently because the festive third and fourth quarters of 2018 resulted in large inventories. That said, Samsung’s A series and inroads by Xiaomi and Realme in the offline space did make a positive impact....

2016 saw the launch of two very powerful smartphones, the OnePlus 3T and the Moto Z with Mods. While 2016 saw the launch, 2017 is witnessing their ads. OnePlus recently released an ad for the OnePlus 3T titled, “Who do you love?” On the other hand, Moto also released an ad for Moto Z titled, “Always running out of juice? Move on to Moto Z + Moto Mods,” but which one out of the two is going to really hit it out of the park?...

The Surface Go, of course, was launched as being the affordable Surface, and at Rs 37,999, it indeed was. However, there were many who considered it to still be on the expensive side when one considered what it brought to the table – it came with a considerably smaller 10.1-inch display (albeit a full HD one), 4 GB RAM, 64 GB storage and well, it came with an Intel Gold processor, which was considered a notch below the Core i3....

In many ways, it is a clash of two cultures as much as two devices – on the one hand, you have the former leader of the Indian smartphone market, Nokia, which is making a comeback to the mobile phone world, and is relying on its (perceived) core virtues of solidly built devices that go on and on; and on the other you have Xiaomi, the new number one in the Indian smartphone arena, which has consistently grabbed market share by offering well-specced devices at surprisingly affordable prices....

A Premium friend that is not Matt le Bland The OnePlus 7 Pro looks like it has taken a few pages off Samsung’s flagship look-book. The minute that tall display on the OnePlus 7 Pro is turned on, a strong Samsung flagship-like display vibe might hit you. And with good reason. The display of the OnePlus 7 Pro curves out on the edges which is one of the USPs of Samsung’s flagship smartphones....

We hasten to insist “on paper” because we have not actually used the device long enough to draw a concrete conclusion. But consider the case – prior to the Mi 11X Pro, the most affordable Snapdragon 888 device in the market was the just-revealed iQOO 7 Legend at Rs 39,990, with the OnePlus 9 starting at Rs 49,999. Now, the Mi 11X Pro starts at a slightly higher price than the iQOO 7 Legend (a whole nine Rupees), but it brings more to the mainstream phone table (the iQOO 7 Legend insists it is a gaming phone, complete with BMW stripes and all)....

The first thing that hits about the Taj Mahal at first is the lack of ease of access. The UI might look good from a distance: we even took photographs from our car when we first saw the monument from a few kilometres away in the city of Agra, but as you come close, you encounter bugs that interfere in the core UI experience. The first of these are in the path to the Taj, where buggy guides and even buggier routes will make getting to the core UI a bit of a problem – a lot of time is lost in negotiating these....

We also wanted to include in this list Facebook’s Android app, but it is still in beta and even in the Play Store, it is not accessible to everybody, so let’s hope that we will have it in our list for the next week.

Best Software Atomic Alarm Clock (Type: Commercial, OS: Windows – all versions, Size: 8 MB) The built-in Windows clock isn’t bad....

The key to feeling rested in the morning is a mix between good habits like eating healthy, exercising, drinking enough water, avoiding alcohol and going to sleep at a reasonable time. However, another important aspect that many people seem to be less aware of is understanding your own sleep cycles. Everyone’s sleep is a little different, so unless you monitored you sleep to see exactly what cycles you’re going through and at what time, how much they last for and many other details, you won’t know how to improve it....
