If we had a Rupee for every time we heard that statement either on social networks or in our vicinity, about Apple opening its Apple Stores in India, we would have made enough to purchase a few things from those newly launched Stores themselves. At first glance, the statement seems to make sense – after all, the Apple Store is a store (it is called one!). It stocks all of Apple’s products and sells them to consumers who come there....

Right, so what is a Chromebook? Simple. It is a notebook that runs on Google’s Chrome operating system (OS). Chrome OS + Notebook = Chromebook Wait, Chrome is an OS?! I thought it was a browser. Yes, it is a browser. But it is an operating system too. The first Chromebooks were seen in 2011. So, means it is like Windows and Mac OS? Well, to be honest, yes and no....

Fast application and service provisioning, flexible reaction to load changes, low-touch management, network-centric access, and the capacity to move workloads from one site to another are all features of cloud computing. To sum it up, cloud computing is more of a cuneiform for the important things happening in IT, than it is a precise technology. The name “Cloud Computing” comes from the utilization of a cloud image to symbolize the internet....

The interaction was a brief one, spanning about ten minutes. And as I had been warned, Vineet Taneja came across as a very reserved if utterly efficient person. Immaculately turned out in a blazer and a tie, he had sales figures and device features at his fingertips, and very little penchant for small talk. Any pause in the conversation would be punctuated by a stare that seemed to indicate that he had really expected the interviewer to prepare better....

1. Asus ROG Mothership Taiwanese PC maker, Asus kicked off its new year by taking the wraps off the ROG Mothership, a beast of a gaming computer that is neither an all-in-one nor a traditional laptop. At best, the ROG Mothership can be imagined as an enormous, overpowered Surface Pro for gamers. The ROG Mothership is a 17-inch gaming laptop with a kickstand at the back to make it sit upright (since it weighs 10....

I am trying to take a complete backup in case I decide to move out of LP. Unfortunately getting network timeout error :( will keep on trying anyway. It says Account suspended when i try to access cPanel. I now feel there is something happening more than just a network error. My friends in Australia, India, HK, USA are able to access the website, but not me. Just 2 minutes after I connected to FTP, it stopped working....

So observed one of our colleagues in the media. And he is not alone when it comes to this sentiment. 2018 has for the most part seen Xiaomi go into overdrive stressing how it is now the leading smartphone company in one of the world’s largest smartphone markets, India. It has been infuriating at some level (our resident gossip, Tech Auntyji, was even moved to write about it) and at times, it has seemed as if the company is almost way too much celebration mode – with “No....

Timex might call the Metropolitan+ a “fitness tracker” but make no mistake about it, this is pretty much a wristwatch first. It comes with a rather large 1.65 inch case (there is only one size option, so we really think this is one for the men) which is about 12.5 mm thick. That is pretty close to the 42mm Apple Watch, and while we do not have its accurate weight, it did seem to be close to its weight – it might be a tad heavier, though....

Doom-ed from the start Systrom says that his interest in computer programming stemmed from playing computer games. And while this might break the hearts of those who dislike violent games, his favorite title was the shooter, Doom 2! DJ Kevin Systrom in the house! While this may not be a usual announcement at concerts or clubs, it actually was one of the few things Systrom loved to do: DJ-ing. Back when he was in school, Kevin and a couple of his friends started transmitting a radio station....

In past we have written a few posts about cyanogenmod and custom roms but didn’t give a full overview on what they exactly are. So here I am trying to answer a few questions that were raised. Let me start with the basics. What is Android? In a layman’s term, Android is operating system that runs on primarily on mobile platform (Cellphone/tablets). It certainly is not the hardware that you get when you purchase a phone....

When the device was first announced, we didn’t know exactly which was its price, since some sources were saying $485 while others were suggesting $399. But now that the official price for Indian consumers has been unveiled, we know that, as well. However, even if it is the world’s thinnest smartphone at the moment, it does seem a little bit pricey. Besides the ingenious engineering that has made this device so thin (the motherboard for the Vivo X5Max that is only 1....

Though it is not the first thing that will strike you about the phone. You will be dazzled with its sleek design, especially that stylish gradient finish on the back with understated lines that become visible only when light plays on them from certain angles. You will also love the large 6.35-inch display and how well it handles colors. And of course, the moment you hold the phone, one of the first things you will notice is just how solid it feels in spite of being surprisingly light for a device that contains a massive 5000mAh (yes!...

Of course, as this is the V20 with the “Pro” tag, it gets some other boosts too – it comes with 5G connectivity, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chip, and a very eye-catching design. Oh, and also, the highest price tag of the series. But does it deliver enough to justify it? Delivering decent shots…and smashing selfies! Well, if it is selfies that you seek, then the answer to that question is a resounding yes....

I use tons of apps & devices on daily basis which includes WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger, Fitbit (syncs all the time with my Blaze), stay connected with my Jabra headset through the day, Music streaming for an hour every day, 20+ minutes of gaming, and I had used this to take lots of pictures every day during Durga Puja Festival this time....
