Since the result of the vote was known, there have been reports of a huge surge in inter

In the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh, the most spoken language is Bangla. Despite the South Asian country being the eighth mos

There has been something of a trend in recent years for phones to grow taller and slimmer. Aspect ratios are changing, and the familiar 16:9 is being met by the LG G6s 18:9 (oh, ok, 2:1) and, in the case of the Samsung Galaxy S8, 18.5:9. Google sees these emerging aspect ratios as the start of a trend rather than obscure rarities, and its encouraging developers to embrace them fully. The new "super widescreen" aspect ratios are being used, according to Google, "to deliver more engaging viewing e

When I first set up a Logitech Harmony hub in my home, it was life-changing. No longer did I need to have multiple remote controls littering my living room table. The one Harmony remote (or mobile app) controls my television, cable box, sound bar, and Xbox One.

If I am dozing off on the couch while watching TV, for instance, and the remote is out of reach, I can simply say "Alexa, t

If you are in the market for a new Android smartphone, you will undoubtedly consider Samsung. After all, the company makes some of the best smartphones running Googles mobile operating system. In fact, without Samsung, it can be questioned if Android would even be as popular as it is today. Earlier today, the manufacturer officially unveiled the Galaxy S8 (and a larger "plus" variant). The world was excited for this announcement, as it is Samsungs first true flagship since the Note7fiasco.

Google introduced the new Pixel Launcher together with the Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones, launched last year in October. The launcher brought exciting features that would allow users to customize their home screens and search for online content in a faster way.

The design of the Pixel Launcher was quite different to Google’s Now Launcher, as the latter has a full-len

The display covers more than 80% of the front panel and is 18% larger than the screen on the Galaxy S7, showing more conten
Solid state drives are absolutely fabulous, but serial ATA variants are getting a bit long in the tooth. Dont get me wrong, if you are still using an old-fashioned mechanical hard drive, any SSD should give you better performance. With that said, NVMe M.2 drives are far superior.

There has been something of a trend in recent years for phones to grow taller and slimmer. Aspect ratios are changing, and the familiar 16:9 is being met by the LG G6s 18:9 (oh, ok, 2:1) and, in the case of the Samsung Galaxy S8, 18.5:9. Google sees these emerging aspect ratios as the start of a trend rather than obscure rarities, and its encouraging developers to embrace them fully. The new "super widescreen" aspect ratios are being used, according to Google, "to deliver more engaging viewing e

If I am dozing off on the couch while watching TV, for instance, and the remote is out of reach, I can simply say "Alexa, t

Folks over at Adobe teamed up with researchers at Cornell University and have come up with what is perhaps one of the coolest developments in image tech - being able to transfer photo styles from one picture to another. Sure, there are several other tools out there that can apply, lets say Van Goghs style on your photos. But instead of just applying pre-determined settings over a photo, this project can mimic the colors and lighting in a photo from a reference image. Say you have a nice pi

Over the past few years, Apple refrained from selling iPhones in Argentina, because of regulatory hurdles for device imports. Back in 2009, the Argentinian President at the time put in place a number of regulations that prevented companies like Apple from selling products in the country.

Some companies, including Samsung, abided by the rules and set

How will we view the current conservation crisis in the future. Tigers, like it or not, are at the forefront of poaching and habitat preservation. We will be judged on whether this is an oversight in counting Indochinese tigers or a genuine result of conservators who struggle to maintain the world’s great rainforests and often die in the attempt. Armed poachers are matched rarely in firepower by rangers and wardens, so protection here may involve more than patrolling. The cameras need to revea
Last week, the US Senate voted to permit ISPs to share -- or sell -- customers browsing histories and other data without permission.

The repeal of the FCC-approved rules had President Trumps support, and the latest vote means that all manner of personal information is now able to be sold for

The bill passed by 232 votes to 184, which was to be expected given the number of Republicans in the Congress. President Trump also supports the bill, as was stated by the White House spokesman, which means it will soon become law that Internet Service Providers can sell of your data without getting your approval

With the launch of iOS 10.3 and macOS 10.12.4, there was great excitement about the arrival of a new file system as well as improvements to performance -- even if they were only perceived improvements. Something that didn’t get a great deal of attention, however, is the introduction of replies to reviews. Just as has been an option in Google Play for years, developers can now respond to the reviews that people leave about their apps and games. Its something that has been a very long time comin

Say goodbye to flat smartphones -- at least, if youre a Samsung user. The most surprising part of todays Galaxy S8 and S8+ announcement is that Samsung included the Infinity Display on both its flagship devices. The slightly tapered edges arent as extreme as those found on the original S6 Edge, but they create a unique viewing experience and incorporate unobtrusive, quick-access menus.It was hard to miss the leaked images leading up to Samsungs announc
Samsung is just killing it with hardware design lately, and with the Galaxy S8, the most impressive hardware in mobile steps it up a notch. The phone comes in two sizes: the regular S8 at 5.8 inches and the S8+ at 6.2 inches. And I never thought I would say this, but I prefer the big one. I actually want a phone with a display over 6 inches!Ill have to use the S8 a lot more to form an opinion about Samsungs latest software. But from the time I
Samsung today unveiled the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ at an event in New York City. Both models feature the curved Infinity Display found on the Galaxy Note, marking the first time since the Galaxy S6 Edge was released that there wont be a flat version of Samsungs flagship smartphone.The Infinity Display isnt as dramatically curved as the display on the original Galaxy S6 Edge, which included more interactive features directly on the edges.

Electronic Health Records (EHRs) have come a long way. Over 80 percent of physicians use them in their offices, and nearly all hospitals have implemented EHRs as well.

Google has launched a new website where you can check out all the free and open-source software it has created over the years.

The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally upon us, as Samsung officially announced the Galaxy S8 and S8+, this year’s flagships that will replace the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge at the forefront of Samsung’s Galaxy S lineup.

For artists, the gentrification cycle in cities often goes something like this: struggling photographers or painters or writers move into an industrial neighborhood with cheaper rents and transform it. As new businesses spring up to serve these new residents, the neighborhood becomes more desirable to a wider swath of upper-middle class professionals. Eventually, rents increase so much that the artists have to move away.In Indianapolis, one block in the Garfield Park neighborhood sout
