The venue for Hollywood’s biggest night of 2019 is the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. As always, the Oscars 2019 will be televised on ABC in the United States and will be the first time in 30 years that we will have an Oscars with no host. That’s because Kevin Hart, who was originally chosen to host the Oscars 2019 pulled out after online backlash with his past jokes and comments found to contain anti-gay slurs and language....

Install Android Pie 9 Beta on OnePlus 6 The sideloading process doesn’t require any flashing on your end. All you need to do is, for starters, download the update file from the OnePlus forums. Once that’s done, move the file to your phone’s local storage where it can be easily found. Now, head into the settings and locate System Updates. Next, under the top right corner menu, you will find an option called Local Upgrade....

After two days of playing Angry Birds Blast, I can give the answer: not too much, really. For, Angry Birds Blast is fundamentally what we call a balloon popper, with not really too much in the name of innovation. The game is a free download and was a 101 MB download on our iPhone 6S Plus. The game is very simple to play. You will be presented with a grid of balloons of different colors at the beginning of every level....

Another reason for the price cut seems to be the large gulf of price gap between the iPhone 6 and the 6s, thus making the upgrades less attractive. This also seems to be the first time iPhone price has been slashed in the first two months of launch, something that inadvertently points at the initial pricing. Another report points out that Apple had initially imported 320,000 units of the iPhone 6s and the 6s Plus but the deficient demand seems to have hit the same and now the imports have slung to a lower 120,000 in November....

On a related note, Apple has also postponed some crucial updates like the refreshed Photo app and a redesigned home screen for the iOS and CarPlay. Thankfully Apple has explained why it is planning to delay the features and it makes sense. Until now Apple used to squeeze in all the new features and update via an annual update. The rather disastrous iOS 11 upgrade stands as a testimony to things that can go wrong during a large update....

The new specs include a 3.1GHz Intel Core i3 dual-core processor, 2GB of DDR3 RAM, a 250GB hard drive and an AMD Radeon HD 6750 GPU. Of-course these are not impressive in terms of sheer numbers, but for those students who can’t afford the pricey Apple desktops, the new models should sound music to their ears. Apple has always had special education deals for iMac. The previous model was priced at around $899....

Apple has decided to publicly file identifiers for all its new upcoming iPhones in the Eurasian database, and it confirms that there will be three different designs or models this year released to the market, with multiple variants of each model. The iPhone model identifiers are: A1920, A1921, A1984, A2097, A2098, A2099 and A2101, A2103, A2104, A2105, and A2106. Looking at the pattern of the identifiers, the numbers give out an easy hint that the three devices in the iPhone series this year are probably codenamed A19, A20 and A21....

Apple is also pushing a pop up message that gives you more information about the offer. The frequency of the message increases with the increase in the use of iCloud. For instance, I was kept bombarded with Buy iCloud Storage messages quite regularly. “You do not have enough space in iCloud to back up your iPhone. A 50 GB plan gives you plenty of space to continue backing up your iPhone....

Apple switches the ON button on their famous WWDC 2013 conference and the first thing made official was Mac OS X 10.9, also known as Mavericks. Apple’s base platform in the desktop segment comes with a nice range of new features and a couple of visual, but also functional improvements. Around 200, from what we heard. The first thing that changed in this new Mac OS X release is the naming scheme....

The world is slowly going mobile these days; the emerging tablets market is the most significant proof to that. That’s why we thought that singing with your computer may not be enough and it surely isn’t. These days, you can go out in the park and have fun on the grass, scaring little kids with your beautiful voice. Presenting 14 Android and iOS karaoke apps for loud weekends: Android Karaoke Apps 1....

They were a very good deal even at the original price, and at the discounted price, they are totally a steal. In fact, we would say that they are a very good alternative to the Jabra Elite 85h, which we consider to be the most affordable premium ANC headphones out there right now. The sound to challenge the likes of Bose and Sony The PXC 550-II Wireless are the travel-friendly ANC flagship from Sennheiser....

Hola VPN is one of the most popular VPN services since it is a free VPN and has a P2P feature that allows peers to effortlessly transmit data without the use of intermediaries on websites that support it, such as torrent and others. Hola VPN, however, seems to lack in most of these areas. HolaVPN has many compromising practices, and since the main goal of using a VPN is to protect the customers’ data, this VPN service is not recommended....

Up until now, the Live Listen feature was used either used by people to listen to conversations in noisy surroundings or by people with hearing impairment. However, soon after a tweet went viral on Twitter, people started to look at the Live Listen feature as a way to eavesdrop on other people. In the tweet, the person has attached a screenshot of his device, explaining how the Live Listen feature can be used to eavesdrop on someone present in the room....

Between the clouds, a couple of new developments appeared as the proverbial silver lining. BlackBerry Messenger, or BBM as it’s called, finally made the jump to Android and iOS, and the company launched a new flagship in the form of the Z30. After the debut of the Z10 (the all-touch device that also marked the launch of BlackBerry’s new mobile OS, BB10), this is the fourth handset that runs the same OS, with keyboard-toting Q10 and Q5 appearing in the middle....

In a surprising turn of events, Apple has launched unlocked iPhone 4 in US starting today. Macrumors first reported that the factory unlocked iPhone 4 should be made available in the retail stores very soon, and it is already made available now. Though Apple has sold unlocked iPhone 4 in international markets like Hong Kong, Australia, Canada, India and others, this would be the first time ever that the US consumers will be having access to the unlocked iPhones....

This app aims at helping color blind people distinguish color combinations that they would usually struggle with. Tom Overton, Microsoft software Engineer who is also colorblind says, “Anything with red or green messes me up, It’s not so terrible, but it does affect you. For instance, fall leaves don’t look any different for me than other leaves. They look like they always do. It takes a lot of color out of my life – metaphorically, that is....

A myriad of companies has tried and mostly failed to try to strike an equilibrium in that equation. Dell is one of them, and their new Inspiron 7373 is yet another shot at this. The company introduced the notebook in India a few weeks back for a starting price of Rs 74,490. I have been employing the machine as my primary workstation for over a week, and in a lot of aspects, the laptop does impress....

The tech behind vacuum cleaning can’t really be termed as ‘exciting’, at least, not for most people. But all these years, people were forced to either choose portability or power. Dyson’s V11 series has managed to turn that around. The motor on V11 turns at a whopping 125,000 rpm or 60 times a second. While that’s a lot of power, Dyson has managed to keep the noise low by using a triple diffuser to streamline airflow and creating powerful suction with reduced turbulence....

— Eddy Cue (@cue) June 22, 2015 This is as clear as it can get. Apple will compensate the artists for every song that gets streamed via Apple Music even during the free 3 month trial period. Earlier, Taylor Swift had claimed that it’s unfair for struggling indie artists to go without compensation for 3 months, and to protest that, she told that her upcoming pop album, 1989, will not be made available on Apple Music....

EGLOO Cam S4 enters as an exception here. It’s a $60 security camera that packs in a range of smarts, such as temperature humidity, motion/sound detection, and IR night vision, to name a few, without detracting from the core functionality. Although these features alone make the S4 an excellent choice for your next security camera, if you still aren’t convinced, here’s an in-depth look at the EGLOO Cam S4 and its features that make it stand out from the rest of the cameras on the market....
