The Coolpad Note 8 on first glance has a very familiar look. A 5.99-inch Full HD+ display in an 18:9 aspect ratio, thankfully without a notch rests on the front while the back seems to be made of poly-carb0nate. Under the hood, there’s MediaTek’s MT6750 octa-core CPU clocked at 1.5 GHz coupled with the Mali T860 GPU along with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage which is expandable using a micro SD card....

As already mentioned, the drone is pretty lightweight. It comes in at 249 grams, which makes it easier to fly and safe enough to not require the need for getting it registered with the FAA. This is particularly good in countries like India where drones below 250 grams are considered to be safe enough to fly in open, without requiring registration. Further, to ensure security, the drone comes with DJI’s safety technology along with geofencing to help drone pilots avoid restricted areas....

Before we get started with how to change the DNS server, let’s first understand, in brief, what DNS does and why is there a need to change it, at all. What is DNS? As mentioned initially, a DNS is more like a directory of internet entries that includes domain names and their associated IP addresses. These entries aid with resolving the domain name of a website to its designated IP address, which, in turn, allows the system to establish a connection with the server of the requested website....

Mozilla has silently posted the first “candidate build” for the Beta 1 of its Firefox 4 browser. If you’re the type to live life on the edge, you can straight away try it out on your PC/Mac. The early version has many of the upcoming features we have already heard about, including a new menu button that aggregates the most frequently used browser menu options, native compatibility with Windows Vista and 7’s Aero Glass interface, a customizable tab bar, and a bookmarks button....

Windows 8 was launched with much fanfare a few weeks ago and definitely represents a bold new step forward by the world’s most popular computer operating system. Unfortunately, if reports are to be believed, people are not exactly moving to it in the kind of numbers that some pundits (and perhaps – perhaps – MS itself) expected. It works brilliantly, looks better than ever before and can work on existing Windows 7 machines without a hardware upgrade, and does not even cost a bomb....

In 7 years and a bit, the membership grew to 600+ million users. At this moment Facebook rightly holds the second place of the most visited websites in the world. How many users will we see after 10 years? An amazing moment in the evolution of the company was when the giant, Google, felt Facebook’s breath on its neck. This happened in a week of March 2010 (HitWise Data), when Facebook surpassed the mammoth corporation and became the most visited website in USA....

A bunch of Facebook pages has been streaming pirated movies through Facebook Live. These broadcasts are indeed, receiving a tremendous response with thousands of users watching and interacting with other viewers at the same time. “Live Movies” itself has been a popular search term on the social network which does make us wonder as to why Facebook hasn’t taken any action till now. Guess what? Pages are even taking public movie requests for better engagement....

It seems that Facebook is focusing these days on bringing even more features to Facebook Messenger, as we’ve recently talked about the new Message Requests feature which replaces the ‘others’ folder. The new feature doesn’t even imply that you have to upload your photos, as all is being done locally. This is a bit intrusive, indeed, as Facebook is no longer online-only, but it’s reaching its hands to your offline files, as well....

3D Technology: From Beginning Until The Glasses-Free Period The History of 3D Technology You think 3D is a recent discovery? It’s actually not. People started talking and analyzing 3D technology even in the 19th century, when Sir Charles Wheatstone described the process of stereopsis: ”the mind perceives an object of three-dimensions by means of the two dissimilar pictures projected by it on the two retinae”. In plain English, this basically means that two similar overlaid images project another one, more realistic for your sense of perception....

It is a new technology that puts extraordinary amount of data, satellite images-current and historical, online for the first time. This wealth of information is ready, to be mined and utilized towards the environmental issues. Google Earth is collaborated with the 25 years old Google Landsat Satellite along with more records. Discovering the location and extent of global forests, observing the change in the forest over time and directing resources for disaster response or water resource mapping are some of the valued information available in Google Earth....

If you’re not yet running version 9.12, wait for it to be rolled out around the world or grab the APK and update manually. Custom names for places is an upgraded version of Stars (which is still around). You can give any location on the map, a name (which, of course, is private). Even an unknown location that doesn’t have a name in Google Maps. You can then easily search for this place in the Maps app....

Google has announced through a blog post that its self-driving cars have been given the green light by authorities to circulate on public roads in Mountain View, California this summer. According to Project Director Chris Urmson, the prototype vehicles will have safety drivers present and will have a capped speed of 25mph. He further added: Google also said that it plans to run small pilot programs with the self-driving car prototypes in the coming years....

The HandBrake has not popped out of the blues and has been around for a while, quite a while actually. It was way back in mid 2000’s that Handbrake started as a program to convert video DVD’s, a novelty back those days. What this essentially means is that the tool has undergone several stages of metamorphism over the last 13 years and finally it’s being offered as one of the most comprehensive video converter solution, or so we believe....

However, in the past year or so, smartphone manufacturers have been unable to maintain the wow factor in their products. Sure, this year showcased some of the best phone launches we’ve witnessed in a while. But the next big technology phase isn’t far enough now, its flow will lead to numerous uphills involving artificial intelligence, crazy modular designs that are far superior to what we’re seeing right now on phones like the LG G5, machine learning, smarter virtual assistant and more....

We can admit that the display is one of the most important aspects of any mobile phone. Moreover, it is undoubtedly the most important aspect for a touchscreen mobile phone. Some like it small, while others like it big, but, is there anything like a perfect screen size for a touchscreen mobile phone? There have been many debates about it but right from the start, Apple has been using a 3....

Tripmode calls itself the “mobile data saviour” and honestly, that is quite true in my personal case. But first let me tell you what it does – Tripmode blocks every service or app from using the internet connection your PC or Mac is linked to. You can then individually select which apps can access the data and the rest will remain banished until you turn it off. Tripmode also cuts off your computer’s core components which is one of the major attraction for me due to Windows 10’s aggressive policies....

However, the good folks over at XDA Developers have found a workaround to enable the 90Hz refresh rate not just across the UI but even apps that you run on your device. While this will cause more battery drain, apps will now appear to run smoother on your phone. Things like swiping or scrolling will feel much more fluidic. The workaround is pretty simple and just requires a PC with Minimal ADB and Fastboot installed and of course, your OnePlus 7 Pro with the included USB cable....

Over the last month or so, number of friends in my network who have started playing FARMVILLE has increased tremendously and so has my frustration.
