Selection of a smartphone that can perform any assigned task is really a difficult thing now a day. The year 2019 has witnessed the launch of a very large number of smartphones all over the world. This is something which has contributed in making the selection daunting than ever before. Generally, people pay attention to the popularity of smartphones when it comes to buying. However, these days there are a lot of manufacturers which are not as popular as others but they are best in offering you anything....

Humans are the most dominating living beings on earth. The overall number of things we regard are very limited and in fact, becoming even lesser with the passage of time. However, there are certain things on the other hand which are making us appreciate them. One of the perfect examples is a smartphone. It doesn’t matter who we are, what we do and how we live our life, the possibility of surviving without the smartphones is not possible....

Last week, Democratic Representative David Cicilline introduced new antitrust reform legislation that would prohibit Apple from pre-installing its own apps. According to a report by Bloomberg, Cicilline says that “a proposal prohibiting tech platforms from giving an advantage to their own products over those of competitor would mean Apple can’t swipe devices with pre-installed apps on its iOS operating platform.” “It would be equally easy to download the other five apps as the Apple one so they’re not using their market dominance to favor their own products and services,” the Rhode Island Democrat said....

I can’t remember if we’re still mad at Consumer Reports for Antennagate but they seem to be doing a thorough job at testing the Apple Watch as evidenced in the video below. Notable from their Day 1 tests is that the Apple Watch Sport screen does scratch but only after going pretty far down the Moh’s hardness scale (7-rated) into the unlikely to ever happen category. The Sapphire Apple Watch however wouldn’t scratch under any circumstances, though it doesn’t appear that Consumer Reports had a diamond pick to test it against....

A deleted scene from Star Wars: The Clone Wars reveals how Boba Fett’s helmet was damaged, solving this particular mystery. Even a novice Star Wars fan is aware of the legend of Boba Fett, the character who started out as little more than a background player in the events of the Original Trilogy, whose design and overall vibe led to him becoming a fan-favorite character. While his appearance/role in Attack of the Clones was considered to be a completely disappointing experience for a majority of Star Wars fans at the time, his recurring role in The Clone Wars animated series ended up adding more to the legendary bounty hunter in a way that fans had been waiting their entire lives for....

CloudHQ I’m happy to report that CloudHQ has since addressed both issues. Recently, the makers of CloudHQ shot me an email letting me know that they had vastly improved the sync time for Dropbox files. Now, it only takes a few minutes. They found a nifty solution that involves punching in your Dropbox Events RSS feed into CloudHQ. It’s still not quite instant—in my tests, it still takes about 10 to 15 minutes—but it’s a giant leap in the right direction....

The year 2019 is drawing to a close, and in many ways, it’s the year Apple got political. The company – and Tim Cook himself – made decisions to appease and stand with controversial governments at home and abroad, leading to this question: is there a political stand Apple could take that would be so awful, or conflict so profoundly with your own personal values that you would abandon the company entirely and buy your tech elsewhere?...

There are several situations that simply let you feel as if nothing is useful around you. This happens usually when things don’t work the way we want. The fact is keeping everything at its level best is a tough job because we often fail to pay the required attention when things need care or maintenance. The same applies to smartphones as well. Generally, a smartphone is free from all the troubles but there are a few that declare their presence and start affecting the experience of a user....

As soon as Apple unveiled the new iMac earlier this year, it hit me that the company needed to give the same design treatment to its mobile counterpart, the MacBook Air. Soon after, the rumors started flowing in, and now that Apple has officially revealed its newest notebook designs with the MacBook Pro, it’s time to look ahead to how the MacBook Air could be redesigned. First things first, colors. Colors have been missing from Apple notebooks since 2001 when the company switched the iBook to white....

The cast of Deadpool 2 appears on a panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2018 and no one saw the best joke of the whole thing. Though the project languished in development hell for many years, Deadpool finally moved forward at 20th Century Fox after test footage mysteriously leaked - just as Comic-Con 2014 was ending - and inspired largely positive buzz. Deadpool hit theaters in early 2016, becoming a critical and financial success....

Alongside the Apple Watch Series 6, Apple announced a ton of new watch faces. One of those faces just so happened to be a collaboration with artist Geoff McFetridge. Apple had previously made a few watch faces in collaboration with Disney in the form of the Mickey and Mini Mouse face and the Toy Story face. But the Artist face is the first one that truly breaks the mold. This new face is the first one to have an artist’s name actually on it....

I’m with Tim Cook in thinking that augmented reality (AR) is far more exciting and relevant than virtual reality (VR). VR has its uses, of course, but the need to wear a headset is a significant limitation. To me, VR is something you use at a specific time for a specific purpose, whether it’s playing a game or looking around a virtual representation of a building. AR, in contrast, is something I think could become a much more integrated part of our lives....

Android is actually a wonderful technology. The fact couldn’t be denied that it has provided all modern smartphones a powerful base. In fact, it is the reason why present-day gadgets are able to perform a diverse array of tasks in a matter of minutes. Many smartphone brands are there in the market and Oppo is one among them which have gained popularity mainly because of the camera quality they offer. Probably they have no true competitor when it comes to cameras....

The smartphones these days are very useful. However, they always need care. Even if you spend a lot of money buying them, the fact couldn’t be denied that they can still have problems with them. However, these are the issues about which one need not to worry beyond a limit. This is because such issues are simple and are related to the software domain of a smartphone. The biggest fact is they are often confused with the hardware faults and the users end up getting no results when they try to fix them....

This is because the buyers are becoming aware that they can have similar features at a much lesser price if they wish to switch to another brand. Actually, a lot of new smartphone makers have started ruling international markets and the reason they are keeping the pace up with sales is because of no other reason than offering budget gadgets without compromising with the features....

The same is the reason why their demand has risen beyond every limit in the last few years. If you are looking to own a smartphone, you must do your homework before going ahead.

Before Anthony and Joe Russo began directing movies for Marvel Studios, they were executive producers of NBC’s comedy series Community - which coincidentally predicted the plot of Avengers: Infinity War eight years before it was released. In one of Community season 2’s end credits scenes (another thing the show has in common with the Marvel Cinematic Universe), Troy and Abed do some improv storytelling that includes a giant spaceship, aliens, mercenaries, romance - and more....

Compared is a series focused on showcasing products that operate in the same space as Apple hardware. These may include laptops, phones, tablets, smart watches, etc. I recently got my hands on Huawei’s just-launched MateBook X Pro laptop. It’s a Windows-powered machine in an ultrabook form factor with a stunning 13.9-inch 3:2 minimal-bezel display. At first glance, it looks very much inspired by the MacBook, almost like a mix between the 12-inch MacBook and the MacBook Pro....
