An emulator is a software (or hardware) that emulates a computer system as another system. In simpler terms, it is a piece of software that imitates an electronic device to behave like another device. To better understand this with the context of this article, consider an emulator as an application that emulates your Android device as a video game console that you can use to play games available on that console....
As we’ve previously hinted, the Galaxy Note 2 is nothing more than an oversized Galaxy S3, attached to the traditional Samsung stylus: the S Pen. The second generation Note smartphone is now thinner, lighter and comes with a bundle of catchy software features slashed on top of the newest Android platform. The processor has been revamped and for those who thought that the Galaxy Note was a bit too large for a phone, wait to see its sequel....
Blackberry probably realized that and has now launched a slightly toned-down version of the Key2 which they’re calling Key2 LE. While still sticking to the core aspect of the device, which is that physical keyboard, Blackberry has tinkered with what’s underneath. For starters, there’s now a Snapdragon 636 in place of the more powerful Snapdragon 660 SoC on the Key2, along with 4GB of RAM along with either 32 or 64GB of internal storage....
With the BlackBerry Z10 and the BlackBerry 10 OS, the company formerly known as RIM defied the odds, critics and delays to come up with a fresh take on a smartphone platform. However, the device still left hardcore fans wanting, since it lacked the feature so typical of a BlackBerry – the QWERTY keypad. That void is now filled by the Q10 – in a way, an old-fashioned take on the modern-day smartphone....
One interesting move is the name change, so from now one we won’t call it RIM anymore but … BlackBerry. It’s like Apple would change its name into iPhone or iPad, but, then again, Apple’s stock wasn’t in such a bad shape as RIM’s BlackBerry’s prior to this event. So, let’s see what the Z10 tries to do in order to impress us. For the TLDR (too long, didn’t read) believers, you can find the video reviews at the end....
But unfortunately, Android apps on Chrome OS had a rocky start. They were buggy, unstable and had all sorts of compatibility issues. More importantly, Chrome OS itself wasn’t properly optimized for touch input and apps. Android applications too were not primarily designed to function with keyboard and trackpad. This left Google with a deadlock. They could have either updated the operating system to somehow magically start working with existing Android apps or pursue developers to build apps keeping Chromebook users in mind as well....
IDC Analyst has already confirmed to The Verge that the “Chrome OS overtook Mac OS in the US in terms of shipments for the first time in 1Q16.” According to the IDC estimates Apple’s Mac shipments is pegged at nearly 1.76 million last quarter which quite literally says that all the brands including Asus, HP and Lenovo have cumulatively sold 2 million Chromebooks in Q1 this year. As we said earlier, Chromebooks have been popular with the schools in US and this seems to be the epicenter of the surge in demand....
Of course, this has not been confirmed officially and is not likely to be confirmed either for some time. But given the information we have received from our sources and our interactions with different executives in a variety of brands, foldables are no longer the sort of priority they were for phone manufacturers just a few months ago. “Those who have got units in production, or already have stock (like Samsung and Motorola), will try and sell off whatever they have, but will not follow through with new products....
Back when we were doing our Android One review, our editor at Pricebaba, Aditya Shenoy rightly puts: “Stock Android is like a piece of bread and the manufacturers apply various toppings on top of it.” It is very obvious that you will eventually want to break out of the stock look and have your own set of customizations. The first logical thing you can look for is to change your launcher....
On its developers page, Apple announces the launch of the latest beta version of Xcode. The development tool is receiving a number of interesting features, but more significantly, it outlines a big change to company’s policy. Starting with the beta of Xcode version 7, the company is allowing developers to test their apps on Apple devices even if they don’t have a developer membership. This makes it possible for unsigned developers — those who don’t have an eligible developer account (which is also paid) — to deploy their own apps on their own devices....
When Windows 7 beta was released in Jan 2009, we had seen the list of antivirus (not) compatible with Windows 7 and BitDefender was not one of them. But the good thing is, at this time when Microsoft Windows 7 is ready for its official public launch on October 22, one of the most popular antivirus vendors, BitDefender is ready with their next iteration of security software for Windows 7....
BattleForge Features There are a total of 200 cards available, almost equally divided between the powers of fire, frost, nature, and shadow. Players can buy and sell cards at an in-game auction house, using BattleForge Points (BF Points), an in-game currency. Players can also invite each other to conduct a direct trade. There is a PvE mode (player versus environment) and a PvP mode (player versus player). In the PvE mode, players can complete missions....
Download Windows 8.1 preview right now If you know you’re into these things, then you can easily head over to the Windows 8.1 preview download page and take it over for there rather than clicking the download links directly. For the moment, you can install the Windows 8.1 preview following directly this download link (don’t worry, it’s secure and it’s Microsoft official). Microsoft makes sure to warn us about a few important things:...
Unlike tools like Time Rescue, the Effortless is the bare minimum in natur, and it doesn’t offer fancy features like a pie chart that shows where and when you have wasted your time. Instead, the program employs a more simplistic approach. The app makes great use of the top menu bar on the Mac and a rudimentary editor for adding up the tasks. First things first, the program is portable, this means that you don’t need to install Effortless and instead can carry it on a thumb drive and use it on any Mac PC....
On macOS, the terminal is, fittingly, called Terminal, and it uses the Z shell (Zsh) as the default login shell. (Before macOS Catalina, Apple was using Bash shell as the default shell). Using this Terminal, you can easily navigate system directories, copy/move files, get system information, securely remote login to other systems, and automate tasks/actions on your Mac efficiently. However, to perform any of these actions, you need familiarity with terminal commands (and their syntaxes)....
I just am wondering what on earth they will talk about. For, at the time of writing, pretty much all the details about the phones had become public knowledge. People know the processors, the display sizes, the cameras, the RAM and storage and even some special features – hell, there is even a fair degree of awareness of the price. Truth be told, one cannot help but feel a little bad for the folk who have been given the task of presenting these products on stage....
Design wise, the whole experience has been kept identical but now when you tap the “video call” icon while chatting with someone, a floating window will pop up which will commence your live stream instantaneously. The audio is off by default and the person on the other side of the chat doesn’t necessarily need to pick up the call for viewing the caller stream. This is, more or less, exactly why Google Duo gain traction but with Facebook bringing the feature directly onto its Messenger app, users might bid farewell the former....
Over the past few years, Jio has made a name for itself in the Indian telecom industry, and it would not be amiss to say that, in some sense, it has completely changed the space forever. This even seems evident with the growth that the operator has managed to achieve, by bringing more than 388 million people online in less than four years, putting it right on top as the country’s largest wireless operator....
This is what Facebook Messenger lead David Marcus had to say about the new assistant “Today we’re beginning to test a new service called M. M is a personal digital assistant inside of Messenger that completes tasks and finds information on your behalf. It’s powered by artificial intelligence that’s trained and supervised by people.” He further added that unlike other AI services the M can actually complete entire tasks on your behalf and the list of tasks includes purchasing items, get gifts delivered to your loved ones, book restaurants, travel arrangements appointments and many more things....
Not anymore. With iOS 15, your iPhone can still be traced via the Find My network even when it is turned off. Apple’s iOS 15 seems to not completely ‘power off’ the phone, but rather remains in a low-power state and acts like an AirTag, allowing other iOS devices nearby to pick up its Bluetooth signal and track it. As per a report by 9to5Mac, the above screenshot of the notification clearly mentions how “Find My” will help you locate your iPhone when it’s lost or stolen even when it is in power reserve mode or powered off....
