The GST council is said to have deferred the proposal of hiking the rates on fertilizers and footwear due to the current economic slowdown and impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic. As per a report on CNBC-TV18, the council felt apt to increase the taxes on mobile phones considering it’s one of the sectors which seemingly had less impact from the ongoing economic slowdown. ICEA, the industry body, had earlier stated that the increase in GST would be detrimental for consumer sentiment and in turn impact the local manufacturing of smartphones....

Price and remote control On Google’s Chromecast, you’ll need to run everything from your phone, tablet or PC.

The Optical Character Recognition feature has been available in in Google Drive for a while now, but maybe the reason you didn’t use it yet is because your language wasn’t supported. But now Google has announced a major update, letting upload scanned documents in more than 200 languages and 25 writing styles. The same update has been issued for the Google Drive app for Android users, as well. Making use of the OCR feature is very easy, and you just need to follow these steps: Google also points out that the OCR feature currently works best on cleanly scanned, high-resolution documents in the most commonly used typefaces....

A discussion on Reddit started around a video containing an interview with one of the cooks at Google’s HQ kitchen. Somewhere in the middle of the video (starts at minute 3), Bernard Faucher, says that there is a 3D printer in Google’s kitchen that makes different types of pasta, according to the needs of the employees. I can imagine already bowls and bowls filled with Android-shaped pasta. 3D food printer at Google’s HQ Burritos Cookie dough Cupcakes Sandwiches...

What this leaked image confirms is that Google will sell it unlocked and unsubsidized for $530, and that Google will sell it by themselves. Plus, some other very interesting details. When we jumped with joy when those rumors of Nexus one pricing and release date came in, we were wrong. Google is not selling its phone at the cost price. So it is just another Android phone. If you want it subsidized, you’ll have to sign up for a 2 year mandatory contract and pay $180 for the phone via T-mobile....

Fast forward to the current year, and we feel tempted to use the same lines to describe the Pixel 3 XL that we did for its predecessor. For, let’s get it out of the way, yes, its design does seem a slight refinement from its predecessor (more glassy, more classy, if more smudge-prone too) in spite of the large notch on the top that seems unusually intrusive, and the hardware is top notch (pun intended), but – BUT – there is just no doubting that the camera on the Pixel 3 XL is a tech miracle of sorts....

But then, ah, this is a Pixel. A phone that comes with a G for Google on the back. And one that has never been launched in India at anything below Rs 39,999. That changes everything. Or well, some things at any rate. Kinda sorta. Relatively smart and compact The Pixel range is designed to showcase Android. And while some Pixel devices have turned heads with their appearance, the 4a is unlikely to be one of them....

The phrase Homomorphic Encryption might sound heavy, specially if you are hearing it for the first time, but its whole purpose is to simplify your database and information solutions. Let’s try to understand the term better before getting to know all about it.

Now, the plain text and the cipher texts might also be not related but the emphasis is on the algebraic operation that works on both of them....

But with the world literally becoming a creator’s oyster, Apple has decided to up its camera game in recent years. And with the iPhone 13 series, Apple seems to have decided along with the usual camera improvements like sensor size and quality; the new iPhones should bring something to the table that will take them from a simple ‘point and shoot’ to a ‘pro in pocket.’ That something is the UI around photography – the camera and the gallery....

One of the best things you can do with your phone is to identify songs on your mind, and the Google hum to search song feature now makes that even more straightforward. Simply hum (or whistle) the melody of any part of the song, and Google will display the most relevant results. Yes, some apps (like SoundHound) can do this, but they can’t match Google’s accuracy. However, there’s no need to install third-party software for Android phones, and using this feature is easy....
