Even while others were changing the design, Apple decided to stay true to its notch roots and insisted that the notch on the iPhone had more purpose than just looking pretty or housing the front camera. The brand continued to bring an almost similar-looking notch (although the size of it was somewhat reduced) to many of its new iPhones after the iPhone X, right up until the iPhone 14 Pro models showed up to the party....
Those words flashed right through my mind as details of Apple’s second quarter results began to come in. Especially when Apple CEO Tim Cook said: “Customers chose iPhone X more than any other iPhone each week in the March quarter, just as they did following its launch in the December quarter…” The iPhone X also outsold other models in the quarter. You know, this was SO not supposed to happen....

Kindle Fire Specs – Depressing The list of feature it lacks seem to be more than what it possess. There is no 3G, no camera, no microphone, no mail client, no nothing. I’m not surprised why they have retained the name “Kindle” and why it is priced below $200.

The adware is reportedly capable to intercept and hijack SSL/TLS connections to websites thanks to the installation of a self-signing certificate authority on affected machines.

Now, what would happen if some criminal-minded hacker could use Superfish’s encryption methods and abuse them to intercept other people’s traffic?...

The Cortex-A35 might actually make the Helio X30 more efficient than its predecessor.

Let’s get the price out of the way first. The Mi LED Smart Bulb retails for Rs. 1,299 which is considerably higher than a generic LED bulb with a single color.

The best example for this would be the “Movie” mode where the light gets dim and emits a soothing color which enhances your movie-watching experience by creating a suitable environment....

Unlike traditional password managers, Firefox Lockbox is nowhere close to the functionalities that they provide. To start with, the app lacks even the most basic options, like the ability to add, edit, delete, or suggest a password. Instead, the app syncs all the existing passwords for different websites that a user has ever saved on their Firefox browser and provides access to them whenever required. Additionally, it also offers the ability to autofill passwords when it comes across any form....
