Since the Apple tv is meant to be viewed by multiple members of the family, the suggested playlist and recommended content was all appearing in a single place as a list, which was inconvenient for viewers who received suggestions for the content they didn’t want to watch. This issue has now been addressed and tvOS will now allow users to create multiple accounts on their Apple tv which can be logged into by the specific users and multiple accounts can be switched to or from the control centre, which looks similar to that on the iPhone or iPad....

Asus 6Z Review: Design and Build The Asus 6Z has a typical glass sandwich design with a metallic frame and while there are no fancy gradient color-shifts that we are seeing of late even on mid-range smartphones, the 6Z looks premium and feels comfortable to hold in hand, albeit slightly hefty. What contributes to the heft is the huge 5000mAh battery, something that no manufacturer has provided in a flagship smartphone to date....

Well, I think that is how Lord Tennyson (or so our Editorial Mentor tells us) would have described the budget smartphone market in India right now. For, there is not much that differentiates phones in this segment from each other in terms of design. It was not always this way. A few years ago, introducing a new smartphone in this segment was about introducing a technological breakthrough, which was affordable....

Enter cloud storage – the elegant solution that allows users to upload all their digital media into one single place and access it from any device. But even cloud storage has its limitations. For one, you can only get so much free space, after which you need to pay for every extra GB. Also, for the more security conscious of you out there, there is the possibility of data theft and the constant thought that once you’ve pressed that “delete” button, your information is still hiding in a data-center in some distant corner of the world....

You might opt for one or another online money sending service, according to your needs. For example, I personally prefer to send money straight from bank account, using the home banking option. That’s more suitable for bank wires inside your own nation or for wires to people that have a bank account and can wait for the money for more than a few days. But if you need a faster way to send money online, what are your options?...

First of all, the large high-resolution square screen might seem a little unusual, but it is actually much more useful and productive. During the entire event, BlackBerry has targeted business users and said that they will be able to get more done with this unusual screen profile. And by the looks of it, they might be right. The unusual screen seems useful Have a look at these screenshots that show how is content displayed on the BlackBerry Passport versus the iPhone 6 or the Samsung Galaxy S5: We can see that BlackBerry Passport’s 4....

The price for OnePlus 7 starts at Rs 32,999, whereas, for the Pro model, starts at Rs 48,999. With that difference in price, it is pretty evident that both these devices are designed to cater to people with different requirements, and for the most part, they seem to do a pretty decent job with that pricing. With almost similar pricing for the OnePlus 6T and OnePlus 7, it would be confusing for a lot of people to decide between both the devices and for some, who already own a OnePlus 6T, whether the upgrade is worth....

Join essentially lets you remotely control any Android or any Chrome OS device through voice commands and is quite intuitive. And the best part? This one actually works. The setup process is also surprisingly straightforward; you install the extension and the Android app and you’re good to go. Join can be triggered via any custom phrase, by default, it is “computer!” and I didn’t bother to modify that because it sounds like I’m living in the future....

Towards the end of the last year, Facebook announced some changes to their Privacy Policy and towards how they perceive users’ privacy. They would default the user profiles to be viewed by everyone, which means that anyone with a Facebook account can view your settings. It caused a huge uproar among some people, but I believe Facebook is just trying to give maximum control to the users on how they want different people to view their details on Facebook....

About.me is still in stealth mode, so you cannot create profiles as yet. But you can still g ahead and reserve/book your username, so that, as and when the service comes out of beta, you get to create the profile page with that reserved username. Check out some real cool splash about me pages – Tony Conrad & Ryan Chris (Founders), Om Malik, Lindsay Campbell, Tim Armstrong & Ellen Hopkins....

After replacing some key officials and deplaning their future path of action, the makers of CyanogenMod has reportedly decided to close their Seattle Headquarters by the end of this year. Inevitably, that would mean slaying a large chunk of its now 100 member team that works from offices based in Seattle and Palo Alto. This report further raises the question regarding the future of Cyanogen Inc. co-founder Steve Kondik, who as of now is functioning as the Chief Science Officer for the startup company....

iOS 5.1 Features As it was reveiled during the event, we’ve got good news for Siri lovers in Japan, as it seems the engineers at Apple have managed to teach Siri Japanese. If you ask me, I can’t wait for the moment when Siri will know all the languages for the countries where it’s going to be available. Apple should really emphasize that aspect, as it would really boost their already incredible sales records....

PDF-XChange Lite is a popular PDF creator application that allows you to create or save PDF documents from any windows application. The funny thing is that this software doesn’t have any user interface, which I am sure, will confuse many users. Rather, it installs a ‘Virtual Printer’ driver and generates a full Adobe compatible, native PDF format file when you print your documents by selecting PDF-XChange as the required printer....

If we were in Hogwarts, getting rid of said person or object would be as simple as waving a wand and uttering the spell “Evanesco.” Things are a bit more difficult in the non-magic world. You have to either be a Photoshop wiz or have to put up with different image editing tools, which remove the offending object or person but leave blemishes or smudges behind, defeating the very purpose of using them....

And that, alas, is something that has been a bit of a pain for smartphone manufacturers. For no matter how good the lens and sensors they place within their cameras, optical zoom has been cited as a shortcoming time and again. Companies have been trying to tackle this in different ways – Nokia tried to bring in lossless zoom in its PureView series, allowing users to crop large resolution images, while Samsung literally added a lens that extended and retracted to the Galaxy Zoom series of phones....

The SE? You sure. You look frightfully like the 5s to me. Well, yes, we are pretty much designed on the same lines… I will say. It says here that the proportions of the 5s were 123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm. What are yours? Well…exactly the same. What, exactly?! Ex-actly. Down to the millimetre. Amazing. And the weight? 113 grammes. Praise be – a point of difference. The 5s, folks, was lighter- by one whole gramme....

The world’s largest e-commerce company was granted a patent last week that reveals company’s intention to ease up the unlocking mechanism in a phone when a user receives a call without any security tradeoff. Imagine taking out your phone from the pocket and holding it in front of your ear for a second and it automatically identifies the right owner of the device.
