The app made an accidental appearance a few days ago, but was later pulled away from the Apple’s App Store. The app is now available on both iOS and Android — at least for US customers… for real. Wondering how this works? On Slingshot you only share videos and images. While your friends can reply to it, the response should be in images and videos only. The images once viewed get deleted, though you could auto-save them....

Its successor is a very different kettle of fish in that regard. Yes, it too has a respectable spec sheet (a 5.0-inch 720p display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage, 4G LTE support, 8.0-megapixel and 5.0-megapixel cameras), but unlike its predecessor, the Yuphoria does score in the looks department. No, we would not call its appearance unique – it reminds us very strongly of the Lumia 830 and Lumia 925 at different points- but at its price point (Rs 6,999/$110), it certainly is one of the most striking devices we have seen....

The Design Novelty The Xiaomi Mix looks apart, thanks to its edge to edge display and the staggering 91.3-percent Screen-to-body ratio, something that almost eliminates the side bezels. Yet another interesting aspect of the design is the absence of earpiece and the relocation of front camera to the left bottom camera. This helps in maintaining the continuity of the display imparting it a fluidic look. The entire phone is crafted out of ceramic and this includes the ceramic back and the ceramic frame....

ATH M50X – The old favorite that get better with time The ATH M50X are perhaps the most popular audiophile or studio level headphones around. Made of sturdy plastic and metal and with very comfortable padding, they have a very distinct design and come with detachable cables. Some think that their sound has a slight bass accent, but by and large, they are loved for their clarity and excellent audio quality....

The announcement of a lower than expected price in India for the OnePlus 8 (Rs 41,999) has temporarily silenced some of the critics, as the price is indeed well below what many were expecting, and as we pointed out in another story, is actually even below its starting price in China. The fact that its price is also very close to the Indian price of the recently launched iPhone SE (Rs 42,500) has also sparked off some talk of an iPhone SE vs OnePlus 8 rivalry....

Peer-2-Peer (P2P) software like Sopcast, PPLive etc have been the most popular ones that let you stream TV on Internet. But some people aren’t comfortable with them since they are Chinese products and they fear of getting infected due to some malicious program getting installed along with P2P software. For such guys, here is another P2P internet TV software which is NOT Chinese made. PeerTV is a French P2P internet TV software that lets you watch TV program on internet in the same way as PPlive or Sopcast....

The rationale? Well, Page writes on the blog: “Fundamentally, we believe this allows us more management scale, as we can run things independently that aren’t very related. Alphabet is about businesses prospering through strong leaders and independence. In general, our model is to have a strong CEO who runs each business, with Sergey and me in service to them as needed. We will rigorously handle capital allocation and work to make sure each business is executing well....

Update: Apple confirms it slows down older iPhones However, these accusations did not have any analytical or official base… until today. Geekbench founder, John Poole claims that Apple has been throttling your iPhone’s performance so that it doesn’t die at unusual levels. Through a series of tests performed on the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 7 running different iOS versions, Poole discovered that Apple has introduced a separate mode which becomes active when the battery begins to deteriorate....

Technically, when your Google Mail Inbox is almost full, Gmail will bounce all incoming emails and stop the owner from sending any new messages while completely controlling the situation. Thus, filled Gmail accounts become useless due to storage issues, and there are only a few good suggestions to get it back in a working stage. Gmail is FULL? No problem Practically, getting some storage space back can be done simply by deleting trash items, spam, old newsletter, and useless emails, which sounds simpler in theory than in reality....

Although Google has much ground to cover, the Nexus 10 tablet is pretty powerful and with its horsepower, it can definitely propel the Google Nexus series right at the top of the pack. The device was produced in partnership with Samsung, a well known smartphone and tablet manufacturer and an old friend of Google’s. Together they have made quite a lot of very well crafted Nexus devices, and it would seem, they thought to add another on the list....

Hardware-wise, the sensors on the Pixel 2 can be considered incremental. But dive deep into the software, and you’ll realize how far Google has come by investing the majority of its resources in software. One of the key representations of this is the new Portrait Mode. Yes, it’s a direct rip-off of what Apple offers on iPhone’s Plus variants, but the Pixel lacks a dual-camera setup. Who Needs Two Cameras When you can use AI Instead, Google is employing something called a Dual Pixel technology....

The Pixel has now snagged a new update, Android 7.1.1 and in this update, we were able to spot the support for the Jio VoLTE in India. The Pixel previously didn’t offer VoLTE support in India and this new feature means that one could start making voice calls over LTE. In the Network settings Pixel shows an ‘Enhanced 4G LTE Mode’ which is supposed to let users ‘Use LTE services to improve voice and other communications....

As Google says, an archive of all public communities will become available but starting from today, it will be impossible to create an Orkut account. Also, by removing Orkut permanently from your Google account, your posts or name won’t be included in the community archive. Also, former Orkut users will be unable to log in or export their photo albums to Google+ once the service gets closed. This is an unexpected move, as it would’ve made more sense for Google to allow this, and it would’ve helped to increase the number of active Google Plus users, as well....

Last night the US Patent and Trademark Office granted a patent to Google. The description of the patent titled “Providing emergency medical services using unmanned aerial vehicles” gives away company’s upcoming plan to use a fleet of ambulance drones that will help to reach humans stranded in remote locations during medical emergencies. “Embodiments described herein may help to provide medical support via a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Any regular Twitter user will know how messy it can get with Twitter Direct Messages (DMs) collected over a certain period, especially since Twitter stores both Sent and Received DMs in our accounts. There doesn’t seem to be any limit on number of DMs one can have, but then, there is no easy way to delete them all at once or in batches. Luckily, we now have a simple freeware tool to group delete Twitter DMs right from our desktop....
