Although the service is now in closed beta, it won’t be long until anyone will be able to create their own video broadcasts. Although, impatient users can sign up for beta testing right now and hope for the best. What is BitTorrent Live? In short, BitTorrent Live is a P2P (peer-to-peer) live video streaming system that allows users to broadcast a video feed from a webcam or from a third party app....
For revenue, WhatsApp is starting slow right now. The company will only charge businesses for a message if they take more than 24 hours to respond. That highlights how WhatsApp is approaching monetization and making sure its forthcoming bigger revenue plans work — it’s urging companies to reply quicker so that people would prefer WhatsApp for customer service inquiries over other channels. In addition, the API will help these businesses share “shipping confirmations, appointment reminders or event tickets....
Windows XP (especially SP3) is so sophisticated in itself that Microsoft – which usually gives its products around 10 year life span for support and services – kept on extending the support for Windows XP. But now, they have decided to call it quits, so on 8th April 2014, Microsoft will be finally ending its support – deserting security revisions, critical patches and assistance. Rising and Shining Windows XP The first few months of sales weren’t overwhelming as Windows XP failed to strike the right chords....
And then a few months after that, I went to visit a friend of mine who had just got a “fancy shmancy” computer from the US. I absolutely insisted that I did not want to see it, but he insisted. I walked into his room and there it was on the table, a surprisingly small device with a bright white display. It seemed to need no cooling. And you needed to type no fancy code to start working....
Display While all of them have a Full HD screen, the differences lie as far as their aspect ratios are concerned. The Mi A2 Lite comes with a notch-equipped which has an aspect ratio of 19:9, the Mi A2 has a more conservative 18:9 display and the Mi A1 features a standard old-school 16:9 screen. Specifications Xiaomi has reserved the majority of specification bumps for the pricier Mi A2. Therefore, you’d be hard-pressed to find differences between the Mi A2 Lite and Mi A1 hardware....
Yes, like the Oppo Find X and Vivo Nex, the Mi Mix 3 comes with a sliding camera system at the top which houses several sensors including two front-facing cameras — a regular 24-megapixel snapper and another 2-megapixel lens for depth-sensing. But how it works is quite different. Instead of the camera system rising whenever there’s a demand for it, the Mi Mix 3 is a good-ol slider phone. That means you can slide the back of the phone for various purposes like taking calls, launching apps, clicking selfies, and more....
In a way, the introduction of QLED was a natural progression for Xiaomi, which has tried to increase the value chain even in the smartphone segment. But the premium TV segment was completely dominated by Korean and Japanese brands in India, so we wondered at the time whether Xiaomi had enough to swim in previously uncharted waters for the brand. It did. And how! We have been using the Mi QLED TV 4K 55-inch (L55M6) for over ten months now and thought it was time to share our long-term experiences....
The washing machine looks like a standard everyday device we’re accustomed to, although, it is extremely portable and small weighing at 34 Kilograms and a holding capacity of 2.8 kg. Additionally, the machine measures 415 mm in thickness and is 500mm wide. It is powered by an Amotec Kore DD inverter motor backed up by Suspa shock absorbers which are interestingly, produced by the same German company that apparently manufactures shocks for Mercedes Benz E Class....
Mi TV 4X: Design and Display In terms of design, the Mi TV 4X comes in at 13.9mm thickness with a two-color anodized metal frame and a flat back panel that gives it a flush-look when mounted on a wall. It features a 4K HDR 10 display that offers deeper and punchier colors along with improved picture quality. It also features WCG (Wide-Color Gamut) and Reality Flow (with MEMC enabled by a dedicated chip)....
The Yi cam now comes with separate apps for photos and videos editing with ability to share directly to popular social networks. Other than 4K at 30fps, the Yi cam can capture 1080p at 120 fps and 720p at 240 fps as well. It also allows for time lapse videos with 0.5 / 1 /2 /5/ 10/ 30/ 60 seconds internals between shots. The display is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass....
But there is one prominent feature that Android had and Apple made famous, and which other Android players tried to get, but could not quite do so. Not yet anyway. We are talking of Face ID – the ability to not just unlock your phone with your face, but literally, make your face your password for financial and other transactions. Made 4 Android (4), made popular by Apple! Unlocking your device using your face was a feature that existed on the Android platform long before it came on an iPhone (it was in Android 4 in 2011!...
Now, Xiaomi is trying to move up the price ladder with the help of its sister brand Redmi with the launch of Redmi K20 and the K20 Pro. But while the K20 Pro is taking the flagships (and claiming to be the new Flagship Killer), head-on, the K20 is still trying to shake off the budget segment devices trying to take it down with their price anchors tied around its ankle....
The itel S42 comes from the same family Infinix’s Hot S3 does. And that shows in the S42’s design language. It inherits a familiar aesthetic with one critical change which is that it features a glossy finish instead of matte. Personally, I feel itel should have avoided the shiny sheen which in addition to being a fingerprint magnet, also makes it difficult to operate the phone with one hand. There’s another reason why the itel S42 is not so handy....
Call me Killer Note Mini In the looks department, the K8 Plus is pretty much like a shrunk version of the K8 Note. We received both units in Venom Black color, and if it were not for the size, it would have been really difficult to guess which is which. And just like the K8 Note, we think the design of the K8 Plus is more on the safer side than the adventurous one....
Those sentences sum up the challenge Nokia has been facing ever since it made its comeback in the Indian market more than two years ago. The brand has released a number of phones in this period and while most have got positive reviews, they always seemed to stumble in a vital department – that of price. Nokia’s devices, for all they delivered, always seemed to cost a fair bit more than those being offered by the likes of Redmi and Realme, which offered comparative (and sometimes superior) hardware....
“I like it on the couch.” “I like it on the kitchen table.” “I like it on the floor” These are just some of the many weird status updates from female Facebook users we are seeing in the last couple of days. If you are wondering the reason behind these provocative status updates, it is because October is the “Breast Cancer Awareness month” and it’s all in support of the awareness campaign....
The three Vivo Musketeers The three ads, titled, “Bokeh Mode”, “Shot Refocus with Dual Rear Camera” and “Bokeh Mode” are all 31-second ads. In the first ad, Aamir Khan walks into his home and gets shocked to see it all messed up. He then looks at his cat and dog, both of which are sitting innocently on the floor after a heavy duty day at work (even creating mess takes a lot of effort, after all)....
Chaos reigns as a phone rings in the OT and Court The campaign titled, “Kiska Baja?” (Whose phone rang?) has two ads as of now. The first one titled “Xiaomi Court,” as the name suggests is staged in a court. It starts with the judge penning down something on paper while all the people stare at him silently. Just when he starts announcing his verdict in front of the crowd, a Xiaomi ringtone is heard....
Then on July 15, along came Xiaomi and turned everything totally on its head. That was the day the company launched the Mi 3. Yes, it was slightly long in the truth, having been launched in China in 2013, but make no mistake about it, the specs were still flagship level – the Mi 3 came with a 5.0-inch full HD display and was powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with 2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage (non-expandable), a 13....
In the beginning, was the PlayStation! And he was always one for the gadgets. “The first gadget that I ever really wanted, probably a PlayStation, when I was younger, to play my games on,” he says, when asked about his first gadget. “Yeah, that’s probably the first gadget that I ever wanted.“ He got it too. “I did, I was very fortunate,” he recalls. “I was very lucky. Christmas present....
