There are countless solutions that the modern world puts at your disposal for taking notes, and today we want to talk about one that’s very ingenious – Speechnotes. If you have already opened the website, then you will soon understand how to use it. It works right inside your browser and, well, just as the name suggests it, lets you take voice notes by speaking directly into the microphone. I’ve been playing around with it for the past half hour and I can say that I quite enjoy its functionality....

If you have been in the market for a quality smartphone accessory, you must have come across this brand called Stuffcool. They are known to make quality cables, cases and other smartphone accessories. Their latest offering is the Stuffcool Power Bank. Right of the bat when you pick up the power bank, there’s a feeling of assurance, and some heft, indicating towards the use of quality materials in its construction....

Stuffcool has recently introduced a new wireless charger called the Stuffcool WC 630, which follows the brand’s philosophy. Now you might be wondering what can be unconventional about a wireless charger? After all, it is a product that leaves little to the imagination. Well, there is some out of the box-ness hidden in the WC 630 package. Round, very slim and yet sturdy Most wireless chargers designed with keeping a ‘one phone at a time’ mentality are generally not too bulky, but Stuffcool decided that “not bulky” is not good enough and has taken the sleekness of its wireless charger up a notch....

While it’s so easy now to find out how much calories you have burnt, what’s the point if you don’t know how many calories you have actually consumed. The calculation is simple. Calories ‘in’ vs. Calories ‘out’. So if you are a little bit concerned about your health, I will suggest you to start logging your daily food. Combine this with a step tracking app, and you know if the weight machine is going to swing left or right the next time you step up....

While we were doing all this, something just struck us. And we think it is actually the best feature of the iPhone 11 Pro. The battery life. We have had two sorts of iPhones – make that “at least two sorts of iPhones” – over the past half-decade or so. A sort of compact iPhone, and at least one larger one. And while the larger iPhone had the larger display and (sometimes) better cameras, its biggest asset for many users was actually its larger battery....

Of course, the headlining trait is the presence of two cameras on the back. Motorola hopped the bandwagon last month with the launch of the Z2 Force, and the X4 is expected to inherit the same approach as well. The arrangement includes a 12-megapixel primary lens with dual autofocus, f/2.0 aperture, and 1.4µm pixel size paired with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor with f/2.2 aperture, 1.12µm pixel size and 120° field of view....

This is important news for the evolution of the Internet of Things industry as it will ‘ enable a new wave of social, local, and mobile experiences.’ Wi-Fi Aware will allow for applications to continuously scan surroundings, anticipate actions, and notify of services and selected preferences....

Today Samsung’s sales have declined big time. Their latest flagship, the Galaxy S5 didn’t sell much as its predecessor and the company had to catastrophically reduce its price to boost sales. There were even reports that Micromax has officially taken over them as the number one smartphone seller in India (but Samsung has rubbished this claim). Also, what isn’t helping them is that their old-time nemesis Apple has brought out big-screen phones which are selling like hot cakes in the Asian markets where Samsung has dominance....

I know that physically locking your laptop will no make you look cool, but at least you know it protects against thefts. What you need to check before searching for laptop anti-theft cables is whether your laptop is equipped with a small lock slot (called a Universal Security Slot) that works with laptop locks. I can tell you from my experience that all the laptops that I owned had one of these....

Xiaomi however, has already announced that the stable MIUI 8 Global build will roll out to all its range of smartphones starting from the Mi2/2s to the Mi5 on August 16. So without further ado let’s have a look at the new features MIUI 8 brings to the table. Improved Notifications Bar with Built-in Weather Widget MIUI 8 now comes with an improved notification bar which according to me closely resembles the one found in the present version of TouchWiz when it comes to the punchy colours and the animations....

The Travelmate is live on Indiegogo and comes in three different sizes.

Travelmate follows you wherever you go this means that you can walk hands-free without having to lug the suitcase around. Travelmate tracks your position with the help of the companion app. It moves along at speeds of up to 10....

What to do in such cases? Well, the only viable solution (apart from re-installing the OS) is to restore your computer to an earlier state, when it wasn’t compromised. Sounds pretty simple, right? Well, the problem with this is that most of us forget to backup our system, or even choose not to. After all, the recovery image occupies quite a lot of space and the process is very time consuming and laborious....

Among these, the keyboard shortcut method, which requires you to select the word and press the Command + Control + D keys, is the most common. However, it isn’t very intuitive, and the keyboard shortcut can sometimes interfere with certain apps that use the same shortcut for any of their actions. An alternative way is to invoke the Look Up functionality using a trackpad gesture. We’ll show you how to configure this below so you can look up words on Mac quickly and efficiently....

Google has revealed in its blog post that all Android smartphones running on Android 7 Nougat or above can now be used as a security key to easily authenticate on to the account without requiring the user to carry a physical security key along. In addition to their personal Google accounts, users can also use the 2SV to protect their Google Cloud accounts. To be able to use the service, all that a user needs to do is have their Android smartphone running on Android 7 Nougat or above and a Bluetooth-enabled Chrome OS, macOS X, or Windows 10 machine with a Chrome browser....

The big question that many will ask, of course, is: do we actually need another Internet browser? After all, most Android devices come with Chrome installed out of the box, and Google’s Chrome is pretty much omnipresent on desktops and notebooks as well, be it Windows or Mac. Well, we would say, you can never have too many browsers, quite simply because as the IE-Netscape battle showed, the absence of options can tend to stifle innovation and new features....

Vivo NEX 3: Design and Display The Vivo NEX 3 features a 6.89-inch full HD curved AMOLED display with 2256 x 1080 pixels screen resolution and HDR 10. Vivo calls this, ‘Waterfall FullView’ display and claims it offers a 99.6% screen-to-body ratio. The interesting thing about the display is that it extends all the way to the edges to give a bigger screen estate to enjoy content on the phone....

Just like the V7+, the all-new V7 is part of Vivo’s selfie and music-focused mid-range lineup. The Vivo V7 is currently up for sale in Indonesia, but the Chinese brand is expected to bring it to its other international markets soon. Vivo has, in fact, announced plans to introduce the V7 to India on November 20. The Vivo V7 shares almost everything in common with the V7+. The similarities start right with the design itself....

And frankly, it has marked its return with what can be called either courage or craziness, depending on whom you talk to. While all the talk in the build-up to the launch was about the Gimbal Camera system, all the talk AFTER the launch was about the pricing of the device. At Rs 49,990, the Vivo X50 Pro is not a token premium device (we have brands talking of premium experiences at Rs 25,000 for instance) but an all-out premium player....

Sticking to routine, adding some width Brands may be giving specs, numbers and features a lot of attention but when it comes to design, it seems like most smartphone manufacturers are following the same basic template – “How to create a smartphone that looks like it belongs to the year 2019.” Vivo has not strayed too far from that zone, which is why the Z1 Pro looks pretty much like any other smartphone in the price segment launched this year....

Google’s parent company, Alphabet is also said to be participating in the buyout via an investment of $3 billion. Meanwhile, Kalyan Krishnamurthy will continue to serve as the Chief Executive of Flipkart. The deal is expected to include both cash and stock component....
