What are Anti-Theft apps? Anti-theft apps are not perfect and won’t always be helpful. For starters, you need have the location and internet turned on for them to work seamlessly. Additionally, the more advanced ones can cost you a subscription fee as well. Location tracking is also only accurate to some level unless you’ve activated the “high accuracy” mode on your phone. Okay, since we have cleared those out of the way, let’s take a look at our top picks....

The ongoing fiasco is because India says it wants the means to fully track and read BlackBerry’s secure email and instant messaging services that officials fear could be misused by militants. RIM had till now maintained that they cannot provide the complete access to the encrypted data as requested by the Indian government which had prompted many of the Indian companies to look for alternatives for BlackBerry’s secured data communications....

This can make selecting the right TWS a real challenge because there are so many options in the market at the moment and each pair is completely different from the other. And of course, many of them come with their own sets of headaches and shortcomings (check our piece). So, if you are someone who has not boarded the TWS train yet and needs some help in selecting the right pair, here are eight things you should keep in mind....

1. Get a positioning statement It started out with “Everything that you need, nothing that you don’t” as its line and by all accounts, is going to stick to it. However, what people need – and do not need – has changed a fair bit in the time since Poco’s debut. And while the folks at Poco might think that the line still works, we think it will either need to be reiterated heavily again or perhaps even redrafted....

The new XPS 27, most notably, features an extensive audio system that contains a whopping ten speakers – six facing down the user, four responsible for the mid and bass frequencies, dedicated tweeters (treble speaker) in each corner, two more down firing, and a pair of passive radiators. Phew. It’s definitely one of the most loudest AiO ever unveiled as the audio is usually an underrated aspect of this type of machines as OEMs expect the consumer to purchase additional speakers and use headphones....

ESET Smart Security 4 is priced at $59.99 for one user license ($69.99 for three, $94.99 for four) does three things superbly: it offers a foolproof interface, plenty of manual controls, and a lightweight design. Though it looks over-priced for the features it has, I completely love the fact that it is much lighter to most of its competitors. ESET is offering free 100 days license key to its UK users which will be valid for one computer....

SpeedUpMyPC optimizes your PC’s settings so it runs smoother and more efficient. Speed Up My PC is designed to help your speed up your Windows installation and your computer to help them run more efficiently....

If you have not figured it out yet, these are just some of the many iconic ads Apple has created over the years. Advertising is a complicated marketing tool. For some, it could be a double-edged sword. For others, it could be an absolutely blunt blade. And for some very rare ones, it could be the perfect tool to get a message across. It is not very common to see an ad live up to one’s expectations....

As per this report by TOI, Reliance Communications, the first and only telco partner of Free Basics in India has confirmed the development and said that it will be billed as per the customer’s mobile internet or data plan. This decision is weird as it completely defeats the stated objective of Facebook’s founder Mark Zuckerberg of providing a free-of-cost platform to connect millions of people who are not on the internet....

While there aren’t too many customization options available on Gboard other than the ability to change the background image of the keyboard or to add/remove key borders, there are some neat features that it packs like the ability to directly search a term that you’ve typed on Google, or look up nearby places of interest right from your keyboard. A new addition to this is highlighting of misspelled words which is a welcome move....

The report has revealed some startling changes including the fact that 51% of the total time spent on the Internet is on mobile devices as opposed to the 42% of time on desktop. This is the first instance wherein the time spent consuming digital content on mobile devices has surpassed the time spent on desktops or laptops. Time spent on mobile Internet usage has grown three folds from less than an hour in 2008 to nearly three hours in 2015....

The Chromecast 3 looks pretty similar to its predecessor with a circular design and built-in HDMI cable. The Chromecast 2 had apparently some WiFi related issues which Google has fixed on Chromecast 3. It comes with Dual Band 802.11ac WiFi. For the uninitiated, Chromecast is used to make your dumb TV smart. In addition to the support for streaming apps like Netflix, YouTube, Hotstar, SonyLiv and others, Chromecast 3 can be used to control your TV from your Android/iOS device....

The new pop-out key joins the bottom-right row of quick actions and resides between the resolution and cinema mode options. The icon is similar to the picture-in-picture available in beta on Google Chrome. The new dedicated window it leads to, however, is unlike other third-party implementations we’ve seen in the past. It’s essentially a shrunken down mini YouTube player since hovering at the top reveals the search bar if you’d like to play another clip without returning to the source tab on your browser....

With the exponential rise in 360-Degree and VR content, it is a no-brainer for Google to come up with such an advanced VR camera rig. By the way, this piece of imaging marvel doesn’t come cheap and will leave a void of $17,000 in your bank account. The 16 cameras are arranged along the periphery in a circular manner and all of these can be managed via the Android companion app....

“We built this feature to make life easier for people who use wheelchairs, but accessible routes are also helpful if you’re on crutches or pushing a stroller. With the help of transit agencies around the globe and people like you who contribute local knowledge, we’re making progress toward a more accessible world for everyone” As we talk about it, Google has already made the “wheelchair accessible” transit feature available in cities like London, Tokyo, Mexico city, Boston, and Sydney....

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....

Fast forward to the current year, and we feel tempted to use the same lines to describe the Pixel 3 XL that we did for its predecessor. For, let’s get it out of the way, yes, its design does seem a slight refinement from its predecessor (more glassy, more classy, if more smudge-prone too) in spite of the large notch on the top that seems unusually intrusive, and the hardware is top notch (pun intended), but – BUT – there is just no doubting that the camera on the Pixel 3 XL is a tech miracle of sorts....

The event was presided over by the Google head honchos and it was Sunder who lead the pack. Google announced how it would be taking the necessary steps to make the internet accessible for the non-English speakers. Sunder said that Google would be working on making Android compatible with many languages and it would also be focusing on making the webpages lighter thus enabling the users to access the content even on a relatively slower connection....

Before jumping to pictures and videos, which is what most people are interested in, let’s see what Slate 7 comes with. Two things are very important – it’s affordable and it comes soon on the market. The starting price will be $169 and the releasing month is April. HP Slate 7 is actually a big deal from one point of view – it’s Hewlett-Packard’s first Android product, so this means HP is back in the mobile race, ready to join Google’s army of Android adopters....
