The very fact that it was carried on by a state-sponsored actor, the attack only seems more sinister. Unlike individuals State Sponsored attackers are the highly motivated group who have set objectives in line with political or military interests of any country. Also, it is very rare for state-sponsored attackers to siphon off the money from the stolen details and instead they keep collecting the data over a long period of time to gain a leverage over the victim....

According to a report by Piunika Web, the developers of two well-known call recording apps have said that it’s no longer possible to support call recording on Android Pie unless the device is rooted. The maker of the app ‘Call Recorder – ACR’ which has been a trusted call recording app over the years posted on a forum that it is no longer possible for third-party apps to record calls....

As a matter of fact, Pebble made available this feature to beta testers back in December but now it is available for everyone. Of course, the smartwatch industry is in its early stages, as there have been just 720,000 Android Wear device shipped last year. But we all know that the Apple Watch is coming, so that’s plenty of a reason for Pebble to strengthen their product. And with this update, Pebble already has an advantage over Android Wear, as it supports a wider selection of Android devices – Android 4....

To begin with, the Z2 Pro features a 5.2-inch Full HD AMOLED panel, Snapdragon 820 chipset along with a whopping 6GB of RAM (I guess that’s a thing now) and 128GB of internal storage. However, there’s also going to be a downgraded 4GB of RAM variant available, details of which are yet to be disclosed. There’s a 13MP ISOCELL rear camera with f/1.8 aperture, 1.34μm pixels, OIS and dual-tone flash....

As the formal presentations ended at the launch of the HTC 10 Desire Pro in India yesterday, and media persons drifted off in different directions – some searching for answers to their queries, some for something more edible – one image summed up the state of the company in the country today. It was of HTC’s South Asia President, Faisal Siddiqui, standing quietly in the center of the room. No one seemed to have anything to ask him....

The biggest reason for this is the display itself. For one, there is no home button beneath it (a great chance for us to replay our tribute to the Home button). For another, the bezels around it have been trimmed. Notwithstanding all the talk about edge to edge displays, the fact is that there are bezels around it, although they are almost of equal width relatively narrow by tablet standards....

And to be brutally honest, it looks the part, especially so from the front. We gave got the black edition of the Moto C and in design terms, it lacked the elan that when economy had not been able to affect on the Moto E and G. The front has a 5.0-inch display with three touch navigation buttons below it, and while it would be insane to expect zero bezels at this price point, the ones around the display are unseemly....

Ticks all the basic boxes but does not do much outside of it Nokia has taken some of the basic elements from the modern day smartphone look-book and has added them to the Nokia 2.2. It may be a sub Rs. 10,000 device, but comes with design features that are often seen in some mid-segment smartphones. That said, we do not think they have been implemented well on the Nokia 2....

Those sentences sum up the challenge Nokia has been facing ever since it made its comeback in the Indian market more than two years ago. The brand has released a number of phones in this period and while most have got positive reviews, they always seemed to stumble in a vital department – that of price. Nokia’s devices, for all they delivered, always seemed to cost a fair bit more than those being offered by the likes of Redmi and Realme, which offered comparative (and sometimes superior) hardware....

Mind you, if you get your hands on the yellow variant (called Poco Yellow, and you also get Cool Blue and Power Black) of the device, you will be too busy staring at the device initially. Yellow is not exactly a popular color in smartphones, and we have not seen anyone handle it so well since Nokia with its Lumia series and of course, the “banana” feature phone. The jet black almost rectangular camera unit on the top with Poco written vertically opposite the cameras themselves makes a striking contrast, and also makes this phone the most gaze-worthy device in its segment by some distance, especially from the back....

For that is exactly what has happened. A few hours ago, Xiaomi took the wraps off the Redmi Note 7S, whose starting price of Rs 10,999, is easily the lowest for anyone looking for a phone with a 48-megapixel sensor, dipping well below the Rs 13,999 starting price of its cousin, the Redmi Note 7 Pro. Them Note looks Mind you in terms of appearance, it is closer to the Redmi Note 7 than its Pro avatar, even though all three phones share EXACTLY the same dimensions – 159....

5G support and a super processor for the price And to be honest, our initial feelings are a little mixed. It is always good to see futuristic technologies (and 5G is pretty futuristic – there is little chance of it coming in the near present in India) being available at more affordable price points. And well, the Snapdragon 750G chip on the M42 is good news too, given how well it performed on the very successful Mi 10i – those who hate Exynos will be particularly delighted to see an M series device with a Qualcomm process on it....

Canonicalization remains to be one of the most challenging issues for bloggers aiming for good organic traffic from search engines. Now a days, search engine algorithms are claimed to be smart enough to handle the duplicate content of blogs but still it is wiser to be safe than sorry. URL canonicalization deals with redirecting www to non-www URLs or vice versa. Popular blogging platforms like Wordpress has seen several plugins which claim to handle URL canonicalization for the webmasters using the 301 permanent redirect....

So much phone ogling! The 40 second ad titled, “Experience Brilliant Style,” starts with a small group of guys at a restaurant or cafe all set to dive into this one phone that Vicky Kaushal holds in his hands (such is the level of attention that they are paring to it) but a hint of the conversation taking place at another table grabs their attention. Kaushal turns around and finds a small group of girls looking right at their table adoring something (well, he assumes it is him)....

https://youtu.be/8g8ZR0KY7M4 Grandma got hit by a “Surface” The 30-second Holiday ad is a small musical staged on the remix of the song “Grandma got hit by a reindeer.” It begins with a young girl walking in a mall with her grandma. And in the lyrics of the short musical, the young girl is asking her granny not to buy her an iPad for Christmas, that it (the iPad) was fine when she was six but now that she is ten, she needs something more powerful to cater to her growing needs....

What prompted you to write the book? I moved to India in early 2014 as the CNN bureau chief reporting in Delhi. One of the things that struck me when I moved here was that, on a lot of TV commercials that I saw here, the smartphone was dominating the advertising and commercials in some way or the other. All of the ads were either of smartphones or Internet companies....
