AirPods inspired? As much as companies would like you to believe that true wireless earbuds do not fall out of ears, let us tell you one thing: they do. The only difference is that some fall out more often than others. The Skullcandy Indy fall in the “others” category in this case. For the Indy, Skullcandy has basically clubbed the design of the button-like buds (like Skullcandy Push and Bose SoundSport) and combined them with the stem-like design of the AirPods....

“Call recording is completely cloud-based, and as soon as you start recording, everyone in the call is notified that the call is being recorded,” explains Microsoft’s Skype team. “Call recordings combine everyone’s video as well as any screens shared during the call.” Since its original release in 2003, Skype never had a call recording feature till date. There have been a few third party apps and services which users had to resort to in order to record skype calls, but with this new feature, it can now be done natively, which is a welcome move....

— Clay Bavor (@claybavor) November 16, 2016 As of now, the Google Earth VR is free and if you own a compatible HTC Vive headset you can explore the entire planet within the comfort of your home. With the Google DayDream in the making, it is safe to expect the Google Earth VR on various platforms in the next year.

While SSDs are certainly a better option than regular storage drives, the effectiveness of this technology may become very limited when the price drops under a certain threshold. Besides acknowledging the price / quality dependency, one must also take in consideration certain parameters, like the storage space, the maximum reading speed and the real-one, compatibility, reliability and others (read our guide on how to choose an SSD or how to optimize one)....

Catastrophe is too big a word to be used, specially in technical terms. But that’s the word which came to my mind after seeing the latest happenings surrounding the iPhone 4S launch in India. If the pricing of iPhone 4S was a shocker, the newly released ‘attractive’ data plans from one of the two operators releasing iPhone 4S should be termed disaster. More on that later. iPhone continues to be jinxed in India....

The Mi TV 3 from Xiaomi seems to be all ready to disrupt the market with an elegantly designed exterior, promptly mated with the best hardware in the industry. Just like its predecessors, the Mi TV 3 comes draped in a full aluminium frame finished in diamond pattern and treated with double color anodization. The frame of the TV looks very sleek, thanks to the thinness of 11.6mm and the metal back plate....

But the Surface Pro 4 is a very contrary beast. Yes, it is sold mainly in tablet form (Microsoft executives kept referring to it as a ‘tablet’ throughout the launch) and the bundling of the Surface Pen only adds to the “tablet-ness”, but unlike the iPad Pro, with which so many compare it, it runs a full-fledged desktop OS, Windows 10. Pair it with the Type Keyboard Cover to which it attaches magnetically, and it becomes pretty much a standard Windows notebook, complete with a proper USB port (“the reason we could not make it any slimmer is that we refused to compromise on the USB port,” Vineet Durani, director – Windows Business Group, Microsoft, told us at the launch), memory card slot, and even a mini display port....

Sounds like quite a lot, doesn’t it? Well, the Tiitan Intelligent Charger tries to tick all those boxes to become perhaps the ultimate charging accessory for those on the move. And it does a very good job. Yes, we know some would consider Rs. 2,499 for a 6700 mAh charger to be a steep price, especially when you can get a 10,000 mAh charger from other brands for less than half that price....

Music, the binding element for many. Without it, our lives would be sad and monotone. Therefore, music has become a multi million dollar industry, with hundreds of songs arriving every year and new artists trying to make their mark on history all the time. With virtually hundreds of genres of music, it’s not hard to see that the need for searching and keeping our favorite tunes is very important. First we had vinyls, cassettes, CDs and nowadays DVDs and music players....

The wearables scene currently has taken a paradigm shift and Apple Watch has been at the center of it. The Cupertino folks yet again managed to carve a place by positioning themselves as a manufacturer that will cater to the “Premium” requirements of the buyers, especially with the $17,000 top end Apple Watch Edition. On the other hand, Fitbit, Garmin, Goqii, Jawbone and Misfit are tailor made to suit the fitness needs rather than bringing the notifications and apps on the wearables....

This led to a lot of questions being asked by consumers to the brands as to why a banned application was pre-installed on their smartphones, that too as a system app which meant that it could not be uninstalled easily by a general user unless they used a workaround. As a result, most brands did update their privacy policy to remove any traces of Clean Master or Cheetah Mobile from their documentation as well as removing CM’s definitions inside the app....
