Turn The New Tab into a notepad. While taking notes if you find it annoying to keep switching between the browser and the text editor, there is a fix for it. With the help of this code (which you need to paste on the new tab’s address bar) or this extension, you can turn the New Tab Page of your Chrome browser into a minimal text editor.

We have been using the Amazfit Bip S Lite for well over three weeks now and it manages to offer a clean and smooth experience just like its elder sibling while also maintaining the accuracy of the fitness parameters.

The front-facing camera for video calls is still retained though, and the speaker seems to be very similar to that of the Echo Dot. The Echo Show 5 will be available in two colors – Charcoal and Sandstone and will retail for $89....

The Asus Chromebook C223 seems to be budget Chrome OS-powered offering. As per listing on Power’s website, the all-new Chromebook comes with a compact 11.6-inch HD (1,366 x 768p) display. That said, the display misses out on touch functionality. Internally, it’s powered by a dual-core Intel Celeron N3350 Apollo Lake processor. This is coupled with 4GB RAM and 32GB storage. The all-new Chromebook is apparently a subsequent update over the last year’s Asus Chromebook Flip C213....

But, without digressing into discussing these, let’s check out some of the privacy extensions that can help you strengthen your privacy on Google Chrome.

With the BlackBerry Z10 and the BlackBerry 10 OS, the company formerly known as RIM defied the odds, critics and delays to come up with a fresh take on a smartphone platform. However, the device still left hardcore fans wanting, since it lacked the feature so typical of a BlackBerry – the QWERTY keypad. That void is now filled by the Q10 – in a way, an old-fashioned take on the modern-day smartphone....

You see, I have this perfect wireless media center fantasy (as one does) that I’m now realizing might never come true. I want to sit on my couch, use my phone to play something on my TV.

Well, there’s no truly decentralized, user-controlled music streaming service yet. But it’s kind of the idea behind doubleTwists’s new CloudPlayer app that’s “launching on Android first” (iOS version should be tagging along soon?). doubleTwist CloudPlayer lets you hack your own music streaming service that’s currently limited to Android and the storage space you have on Dropbox/Google Drive. You upload your entire music collection to either/both cloud storage services (which can take a couple of hours to a couple of days), then get the Android app, connect respective accounts and let CloudPlayer do its thing....

The new XPS 27, most notably, features an extensive audio system that contains a whopping ten speakers – six facing down the user, four responsible for the mid and bass frequencies, dedicated tweeters (treble speaker) in each corner, two more down firing, and a pair of passive radiators. Phew.

Those had been the words of a Xiaomi executive when the Chinese brand had overtaken Samsung in the Indian smartphone market in early 2018. The Korean brand did not quite react as swiftly and ruthlessly as he and many others had expected, although there were rumors that a room in Samsung’s India office had been dedicated to tackling the Chinese newcomer. However, towards the end of 2018, the signs were that Samsung was finally going to go head-on against Xiaomi....

Apple’s iPhone was never deemed to be a threat to the Note series until the Cupertino giant decided to opt for a large display variant and came up with the iPhone 6 Plus.

The Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge helped Samsung benchmark themselves and ever since the evolved design philosophy has helped them produce elegant looking classy phones....
