Often referred to as Asia’s Netflix, the streaming service will be offering a wide catalog of over 15,000 movies and TV shows (10,000 titles at launch) to Indian users at a monthly subscription of Rs 199. Hooq will let users to download or stream content, and allow them to save up to 5 titles at once. The company says it will bring more than 5,000 Hollywood titles, TV shows from international content partners including Warner Bros, Sony Pictures, Disney, Miramax, and Dreamworks....

For the uninitiated, a VPN or Virtual Private Network is a service that allows you to access the internet as if you were connected to a private network – meaning – it will enable you to access the internet securely and anonymously. Furthermore, besides securing and offering anonymity over the internet, a VPN also helps you bypass region-specific content on the internet. So you can enjoy your favorite content (unavailable in your region) back at your home....

The battery case is made up of silicon and the material is similar to the other traditional cases. The case uses a lightning male port at the bottom to plug in the iPhone and the case can be in turn charged with the usual traditional Lightning cable, unlike the other third party batteries which usually come with a microUSB port. The good part however is that the case is expected to work with even the iPhone 6 but as of now we couldn’t see the battery extender for iPhone 6s Plus or the 6 Plus....

Touchscreen phones, minus stylus! No, the iPhone did not herald the touchscreen era in smartphones. Palm, Microsoft and even Nokia had touch-friendly UIs before the iPhone came along, but none of them worked as smoothly and speedily as the iPhone’s did. In fact, almost all of its competitors were designed to work with a stylus – something that Jobs mocked famously in his iPhone presentation. The iPhone was the first touchscreen phone that anyone could use with minimum fuss, and without ever having to lug a stylus along....

Ironically, Google is blaming the shutdown of Reader on low usage and focus on fewer products, and is suggesting that people should instead use Google Currents & Google Plus. Well, that’s simply not the best alternative for Google Reader. Let’s take a look. 1. Feedly By far the most popular RSS feed reader (other than Google Reader), Feedly has been around for a long time, and one of the few services which has a decent way to import and move your feeds from Google Reader....

We are not going to get into the tech specs of those two worthies or their design – both have been given enough space already. Suffice to say that both represent the pinnacle of phone technology for each of their brands. They are, in a word, flagships. They are also warriors trying to win back territory that each of their brands has seemingly ceded away. Cast your mind about a year back around this time, and it seemed to be the best of times for both Samsung and Xiaomi....

The irony is that, notwithstanding all the angst and outrage flying around about it, when looked at with a relatively open mind, the real problem of the Pixel is NOT its price. After all, it is not as if there have been no expensive Android devices in the market. Samsung, LG, Sony and HTC have conventionally priced their flagships not too distantly from the Cupertino camp. So yes, while the Pixel might not be as affordable as its predecessors that bore the Nexus nomenclature, it is hardly rare in coming with an expensive price tag....

The company has launched a 43-inch UHD 4K, 40-inch Smart and 32-inch Smart TV in India. Thomson has partnered with Flipkart, and the TVs will be exclusively available on Flipkart starting from April 13th. Interestingly, the company seems to have taken the Xiaomi path and is offering the TVs via a flash sale that starts on April 13th at noon on Flipkart. Thomson had been one of the preferred brands when it came to CRT TV’s from 80’s to the early 90’s....

The good news is that all these portable devices can be charged faster, in most cases. Depending on the manufacturer, model and the operating system deployed, different methods can be applied to boost the power transmitted by the source and decrease charging times significantly, without major downsides. How to reduce charging times for mobile devices There is no wonder application or magic trick that will boost our charging output and decrease the total time (maybe wireless, who knows), but we do know a couple of practices that should do well-enough....

you can’t host your own server, provides measly 2 GB storage, it’s not open source no remote access to computers. If you are using Dropbox for a long time I am sure you will be so impressed with its ease of use and feature-richness, that you might not have cared to look for an alternative. But there are quite a few new (and old) services which can really give Dropbox a run for their money....

1. Avast! Free Antivirus Meeting again with Avast!, but now, in spotlight is the Free Avast! Antivirus. This is, in my opinion, the best free antivirus available. In the free version, all you have to do is register (for free) once a year and you get top notch protection on your computer, emails, downloads and IMs. It has a powerful heuristics engine that allows it to find almost every virus around....

Therefore, let’s presume that the term geek refers to persons who love technology and who don’t necessarily wear glasses. Also, there are enough geeks that, for example, love technology but aren’t that great when to comes to mathematics or physics sciences. Some of these geek movies, though, are meant for that category of people, as well. It was pretty hard to compile a list with movies for geeks, because it’s hard to name it a top, since one can’t really say which movie is the best – it’s all about different tastes here....

The cloud is one of the technologies with the fastest growth these days and we’re seeing that even giant Microsoft has appointed as the new CEO an expert in the cloud field. But it’s amazing at how many interesting cloud-related products have appeared on the market thanks to crowd-funding platforms such as Kickstarter and IndieGoGo. The TraqCloud GPS tracker is a new such device useful for those who are looking to track vehicles, person or anything else for a cheap price....

The company says, in order to facilitate secure and spam-free communication to its users, it has built an invitation-based mechanism for the Group Chat. By doing so, users get to the freedom to either ‘accept’ or ‘decline’ an invitation for a group chat. In case they decline the invitation, the feature ensures that not even the group admin can directly add them to the group. Furthermore, to offer privacy to its users, the feature hides the contact number of users in the group, unless, they have the other user’s contact number saved on their device, or they request them to see their contact number....

The name of the brand might be basic but we had high hopes when it comes to the first ad of the newborn baby of these two telecom giants. Both Vodafone and Idea have had some really brilliant ad campaigns that have not only left their marks on network advertising but advertising in general. The “Wherever you go, our network follows you” Vodafone Pug campaign, the “Vodafone Zoo-Zoo” campaign, and “kya idea hai SirJi” from Idea have been some of the most revolutionary ad campaigns in telecom history, hands down....

Unlike previous phones from Vivo, the Y83 was announced silently in its homeland without much fanfare. The Vivo Y83 has been designed to target the young adults and therefore comes in three color hues, namely Aurora White, Polar Black and Red. The lower-midrange smartphone features a large 6.22-inch 19:9 HD+ IPS display on top. The panel has minimal bezels on all its sides except for the chin, thereby resulting in an impressive screen-to-body ratio....

Fret not; a free iOS app promises to fix all of this without the need for a cover or a case. The app called “Notcho”(with obvious reference to the notch) comes baked in with a handful of wallpapers, ones that successfully conceal the notch and add an increased level of singularity to the display. The app cleverly conceals the notch by adding a black background to the top part of the display, similar to the other bezel-less displays used by LG and Samsung....

Ever since OPPO launched the R1 in 2013, the company has strived hard to look different. The R-series phones have been amongst the first ones to bring the metallic colors and glass gradients. When the market was drowning with loads of similar looking smartphones in silver, gold and rose gold, OPPO launched the R9 in beautiful Metallic Red back in 2016. They followed it up with the special FC Barcelona edition in Red and Blue mix....
