In a not so surprising move, especially because it was expected and perhaps even hurried by the online community, Facebook has announced support for hashtags. Yes, the same hashtags that Twitter, perhaps Facebook’s biggest rival, has popularized. In a blog post today, Facebook has made the announcement public, making happy its huge database of users – more than 1.1 billion: If you’ve been using Twitter and know how it works, then it will be a pleasure for you to find the hashtags coming to Facebook....

According to a fresh report coming from The Financial Times, it seems that Facebook is allegedly working to launch a new standalone news app next week. The app is reportedly going to be called Notify, and it seems that Facebook is going to partner with such media companies as CBS, The Washington Post, Mashable, Billboard, Vogue and others for the content. The app is said to look similar to Twitter, enabling outlets to send short push notifications to “followers” and if they want to read more about it, then they have to click to see the full story....

And that, alas, is something that has been a bit of a pain for smartphone manufacturers. For no matter how good the lens and sensors they place within their cameras, optical zoom has been cited as a shortcoming time and again. Companies have been trying to tackle this in different ways – Nokia tried to bring in lossless zoom in its PureView series, allowing users to crop large resolution images, while Samsung literally added a lens that extended and retracted to the Galaxy Zoom series of phones....

Before talking about what Versa has, let’s take a look at what it doesn’t. The Fitbit Versa is not meant for buyers wanting to ditch their smartphone while running or engaging in some other workout session. This is primarily due to the absence of both built-in GPS and LTE compatibility. Apart from that, however, Fitbit is offering all the major features on Versa. For starters, it sports a heart rate monitor and is waterproof so that you can track your swims as well....

ATH M50X – The old favorite that get better with time The ATH M50X are perhaps the most popular audiophile or studio level headphones around. Made of sturdy plastic and metal and with very comfortable padding, they have a very distinct design and come with detachable cables.

Looking at Reliance’s approach over the past few years — especially since the launch of Jio — the company has been striving to make data more affordable and connect a large number of people, untouched with the country’s digital revolution, to the internet. At first, it introduced 4G connectivity, and along with that, brought in new tariffs for data and call, which were comparatively lower than other carriers, in an effort to avail cellular connectivity and internet to the masses....

Google today announced that it is buying a “portion” of Fossil’s smartwatch technology and talent. The deal has been set to about a sum of $40 million which will hardly have any impact on Google’s numbers and includes Fossil handing over a secret technology it’s been working on along with the R&D team directly responsible for it. The agreement will essentially allow Google to mend its struggling smartwatch business and set up a proper hardware division for its WearOS platform....

For starters, the new Pixel 2 XL flaunts an all-aluminum frame and a massive 6-inch Quad HD (2880 x 1440 pixels) OLED panel up front. Since the bezels on the sides have been waived off dramatically here, the LG-made handset isn’t as gigantic as other 6-inch phones. It also features an aspect ratio of 16:9 like a few recent phones such as Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and LG’s G6. This change, more importantly, should push developers and entertainment services further to add compatible content....

Google Pixel 4 / Pixel 4 XL: Design and Display The Pixel 4 comes in three new colors: white, black, and a limited-edition orange option.

This is done with the help of Project Soli technology which we have covered in detail earlier....

The new app is free and only works with Gmail accounts and it will always show you every single message sent your way. However, it scans each email and brings on top what it thinks is the most important information that you need to know. Google assures that Inbox isn’t meant to replace Gmail and we should view it as “an assistant putting your mail into piles to make it easier to deal with”....

A year is a very long time in technology. Especially when you are looking at the budget segment of the market, where there are multiple releases every other month. So when a phone that was squarely mid-segment in price gets a fresh lease of interest almost a year after its release (without a significant price cut), especially when that year was not a particularly good one for it either, you take notice....

However, sharing documents—the ones with images—or image files in the PDF format isn’t wise, as a PDF file is considerably larger in size than a regular JPG or PNG file and requires a PDF viewer to be viewed or edited. So unless you specifically need to have an image in PDF format, your best bet is to convert it into one of the popular image formats, like JPG or PNG....
