Retina display? Check. USB Type-C? Check. Touch ID? Check. Slimmed out bezels? Check. The design is mash-up of the new MacBook Pros and the good-old MacBook Air with a tapered base. It’s a full retina display which is a HUGE markup to the old MacBook Air, but not True tone like the new MBP. Glossy LCD with sRGB color spectrum can be a disappointment for some. It’s still 13.3-inch screen, but cutting down of bezels and some ports (more on that later) has led to a smaller footprint, and it is now 17% lesser volume than before and a quarter pound lighter....

Of course, the first thing that hits you about the S10+ is…duh, let’s be predictable, its display. Hardly surprising, given the sort of hegemony Samsung has established in that zone. There are AMOLED displays and there are excellent displays and then there are the ones that come on Samsung’s flagships. The S10+ carries forward this tradition with a magnificent 6.4-inch quad HD+ AMOLED display, which it calls the Infinity O....

I adore WordPress themes! And I like to download and test the themes (free ones) frequently. Few days back I bumped across a plugin – TAC (Theme Authenticity Checker) which checks for any malicious code in the Wordpress themes present in /wp-content/themes folder. When I ran TAC today, I found that couple of the themes I downloaded yesterday (name withheld) were having some encoded string in the Footer section. TAC projected them as potential threats since some malicious code could have been injected and encoded....

It was the equivalent of tech doomsday for many, and the air (in India at least) was rife with predictions that Huawei was in big trouble. Yes, Huawei did have massive resources in software and hardware, but even then, how on earth could the brand survive in the smartphone market with a cloud hovering over the very OS on which its phones were running? The company did talk of working on its own OS, which would not need Google’s apps, but the broad consensus across most tech quarters was that Huawei was in big trouble in the smartphone business....

Three lads, a coach and a Pixel 2 The three-minute promotional video, Dravid Spends a #DayWithPixel2 (or A Day Out With The Lads), is a little too long to be called an ad. It features Rahul Dravid who is also coaching the young Indian team, being taken for a day out by three of his players Shardul Thakur, Mayank Dagar and Shreyas Iyer. The video starts with someone giving Google Assistant instructions to record a video, then moves to Rahul Dravid talking on the phone with someone about his lost car keys....

Snapping Windows Being a Windows user for so long, one of the first few shortcomings of MacOS I came across is its limited multitasking abilities. Unlike Windows which lets you simply snap windows anywhere, in any size, MacOS takes a more restricted approach and requires you to hold down a key. In addition to that, the split-screen features function as individual, separate workstations. While that does prove helpful at times, I found myself coveting Windows’ straightforward and versatile functionality more often than not....

Within a week of its release, more than 100 million users updated their iDevices to the latest iOS 6 operating system, which shipped with the half-baked Apple Maps....

iPad (2019) Review: Moving on from mere media consumption Remember how they called Harry Potter “the boy who lived,” because he, against all odds, survived the onslaught of an evil wizard (He Who Must Not Be Named, so we won’t use the V-word for Voldemort)? Well, replace “boy” with “tablet” and you could well be describing the iPad. After a spectacular start in 2011, many felt that the “tablet revolution” had fizzled out by around 2015....

The report, in addition to that, forecasts that the forthcoming wave of ARM-based Windows tablets in mid-2018 could further escalate the market share for the detachable category.
