Now it seems that Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has come up with a set of guidelines it announced via social media and it guarantees that if drone pilots follow the rules in the United States, they will never find themselves in trouble. This will come across as a huge sigh of relief for the drone hobbyists who will now at least have access to a clearly chalked out regulations they can abide....

Sounds familiar? Well, as you might know, gaming takes up a fair amount of our time, and everyone is looking for the next best game to spend their time with. The virtual world is growing bigger and bigger, but the problem here is that games cost money, and the more games you play, the more it costs. What if you didn’t have to pay for games? Wouldn’t that be awesome?...

Guest post by Daniel Divyakumar H, of The Indian Geek. A few months ago, Technically Personal received an anonymous “Guest post” titled The Google Deception. Since Raju mentioned that he had received an “anonymous” post on twitter, and that it didn’t look like spam – my curiosity was piqued. Who in their right minds would write an entire article for a decent blog such as TechPP, and then not want to affix their name to it?...

For a considerable amount of people (including Nokia’s investors and shareholders), Nokia Lumia 920 was a disappointment. Usually, after an iPhone announcement, Apple’s share climb (they also climb quite a lot before the announcement itself). Nokia’s shares fell by 13% right after Nokia Lumia 920 and 820 were introduced. The same happened when Apple introduced the iPhone 4S, Apple’s share decreased by 5 percent, but then they quickly picked up and one year later, Apple’s shares value has doubled!...

A few years ago, Wi-Fi offered not much use to users, there weren’t that many public hotspots, social networks or cloud storage systems for storing photos, but this has dramatically changed in recent times. Cloud storage is now widely available for everyone to use, social networks like Facebook have encouraged mobile uploads of pictures, video sharing websites like YouTube offers lots of features for uploaders (and even the possibility to make money)....

On the hitherto Windows 8.1 users felt left in the lurch with no news about the update, something that Microsoft had promised in the beginning, now it seems that a bunch of Lumia handsets will be treated to a Windows 10 upgrade. Microsoft’s Micheal Fortin quoted “Today, we’re pleased to begin the roll-out of Windows 10 Mobile to select Windows Phone 8.1 devices, Consistent with our approach to the Windows 10 PC upgrade, we are focused on delivering a high-quality experience for our customers....

Getting rid of the clutter Just like Samsung’s TouchWiz, Oppo’s ColorOS was a cluttered, if feature-heavy, UI. Yes, some people liked the multiplicity of options, but many others found it simply overwhelming and some others felt that it had way too much bloatware onboard. Well, that changes with ColorOS 11 which is built on top of Android 11. However, we think Oppo’s efforts in Color OS 11 are closer to Xiaomi’s in MIUI 12 than to Samsung’s One UI – the interface tries to deliver a clean experience but while retaining a very distinct identity of its own, complete with its own tools and apps....

Xiaomi has ensured that the QiCycle is a unique offering and it comes with features that will help it lure the prospective buyers. The QiCycle is extremely compact and is also pretty light at just 13.3KG. Further adding to its dimensional attributes is the fact that the QiCycle can be folded and stowed away. The main chassis of the Cycle is not welded to the rear bracket and instead hinged....

Those were the words of a rather emotional executive when we recently asked him about the Poco F1. After all, the phone has notched up sales of 700,000 units globally since its launch, a figure that in itself has sparked some confusion. After all, there are some numbers that are considered noteworthy in the mobile business. Fifty thousand, A hundred thousand. A million. Multiples of a million. Seven hundred thousand is not one of them....

But not too many know the design wizard’s first really popular commercial product had very little to do with digital technology. It was made in 1986 during his internship (he was studying at the Newcastle Polytechnic) at the Roberts Weaver Group in London. It was incidentally here that Ive would meet one of the designers who would influence him and also be a close friend, Clive Grinyer (it was Grinyer who would famously say about Ive: “He looked like a hairbrush....

Before that, however, here’s a brief overview of how Xiaomi managed to sneak past Oppo on the charts. While the latter was busy spending a shedload of money on marketing and retailer margins, the former gradually built its community and image by offering a range of well-balanced phones at remarkably affordable prices exclusively on online platforms. When Xiaomi was done establishing a strong foothold there, the company decided to enter the offline market where its line of phones was already making waves through unofficial channels....

In the orange corner of the ring, we have the smartphone which is trying to repeat history created by its predecessor. This contender has proved that it is worth being called the successor of the undisputed king of the mid-range segment, the Redmi Note 3 (our Review here), the smartphone that comes with a 5.5-inch display and its 3 GB RAM variant is priced at Rs. 10,999 while the 4 GB RAM one costs Rs....

Mind you, name apart, there is not too much that ties the 7.1 to the 7 Plus. If anything, the 7.1 is closer to the 6.1 Plus, with the same glass front and back, sandwiched between which is a metal frame (6000 Series Aluminium). The front is also remarkably different – blame THAT notch out there. Yes, the 7 Plus was a very striking device with its copper accents and ceramic paint metal back, but the 7....

Here then are the highlights of the report: Everyone stumbles… The global smartphone market fell by 14 percent in the quarter as compared to Q2 2019, one of its most steep falls in recent times.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IprmiOa2zH8 Lengthy, but definitely not boring “Homework” is a two-minute-twenty-one second ad which starts with a teacher asking his students to settle down. He then picks five kids, Ivy, Michael, Ryan, Sally and Thomas, and calls them Group Three. The teacher then drops a book on the floor and tells these students that their homework is to explore gravity. Right after this, the school bell rings. As the students start to leave, the teacher reminds them that the project is due on Friday and asks them not to forget their “homework....

Keep in mind that some of these apps will actually collect information about a phone or a person, and therefore, they are not meant to be used on suspecting people. Remember that spying on someone is both unethical and in some cases illegal, so we recommend using these apps with care. Spying software for your Android device Image Credit: The Sunday Times Before we look at spying apps for Android, we must take a look at some spying services that serious customers would want to use....
