Unlike the old classic Snake game where the player has to maneuver itself (in the form of a line), which grows itself, the version that Google has put up on its app is quite different. However, the basic idea behind the game is the same – players maneuvering their way to avoid a collision. Google’s version of Snake app involves around you (as a transport vehicle) going around and picking up passengers, which in turn increases your length....

Coming to the first feature, Google Maps will now tell users about their bus travel times based on live traffic. Google says that it is the first product of its kind that is launching first in India in cities including Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, Lucknow, Chennai, Mysore, Coimbatore, and Surat. The feature uses the power of Google’s live traffic data and public bus schedules to calculate delays and provide accurate travel times....

The best part of Motion Stills is that the entire process is offline and would not require connectivity until and unless you want to share the resulting GIF’s. Google achieved this by creating GIF animations from photo bursts along with an Algorithm that made it look as though one has shot the video using video stabilisation gear. The low size of the files seems to be a direct consequence of real time GPU rendering, which means that some of the textures would be run by the GPU every time the file is played....

However, ever since its announcement at the Pixel 5 announcement last year, Google TV’s introduction seems to have caused a lot of stir (and also appears to be creating some confusion) around its existence with Android TV. If you, too, are wondering what happens to Android TV moving forward, here’s a breakdown of all that’s changed with Google TV and the differences between Android TV and Google TV. What Is Google TV?...

The Hisense 55A71F is one of the three new televisions which marks the entry of the brand into the highly competitive Indian Smart TV market.

Hisense 55A71F 4K Smart TV: Build & Design Hisense has done well to cut down the bezels on all four sides of the display....

The handset is not a “flagship” device by Honor but has created a stir in the market by introducing a dual camera on its back at USD 250. The two cameras which come with a 12-megapixel and 2-megapixel sensor are basically placed on the back to give the device an edge in terms of depth of field over the other sensors present in the market (the Coolpad Cool 1 incidentally is another phone with dual cameras, but those are of 13....

However, users on Reddit seem to have found another use case for the color filter camera on the OnePlus 8 Pro which may seem like something OnePlus didn’t want you to know or they didn’t know themselves. It makes you a magician. Well, sort of. When the color filter camera is used on objects made out of thin plastic, you can basically see through the exterior of those objects and determine the internal components/circuitry....

In this day and age of third-party tools, I don’t think it is. Following the announcement, developers have come forward and brought both of those features back to life. In addition to that, if you know your way around Google, you can still easily access both of them officially, albeit with an extra step. Here’s how. Access the “View Image” and “Search By Image” Buttons on Google Without any Third-Party Tool The official workaround is quite straightforward....

Most operating systems either use the traditional Unix permissions or the ACL (Access Controls Lists) permissions for controlling file and directory access. Talking about macOS, the operating system uses the Apple File System (APFS) on version 10.3 and later. Since APFS supports the traditional Unix permissions, it gives you the ability to change permissions for files and directories on your Mac for different users and groups. So if you want to change permissions for users on your Mac to limit their access to system files and directories, this guide should see you through....

Although it’s this simplicity that makes Keep appealing to beginners, the lack of essential note-taking features has caused it to trail behind other popular note-taking apps on Android in the past. However, recent Google Keep releases have introduced some much-requested features, like the ability to format text, as part of an effort to make Keep a full-fledged notes app. Now, following the release of these formatting features, Google has added yet another useful feature to Keep....

Even though the quality is not so great, the best advantage of using phones or tablets to shoot videos instead of professional cameras is portability, and the possibility to add effects, edit and combine different movies directly on the device from which they were taken. With those in mind, we will present some gear and applications that will help you shoot a film in better conditions. Make movies with your phone or tablet Creating a movie with a portable device it’s something that encountered a lot of skepticism until the South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-Wook made “Night Fishing”, a movie captured with an iPhone 4, and won the Golden Bear for Best Short Film at the Berlin Festival....

A very annoying glitch of the system is represented by the apparition of spam, which are unwanted emails from advertisers that are sent indiscriminately. Nowadays, it got to the point where your spam filter slips some spam emails into your inbox because it is not clever enough. Furthermore, another problem may appear: what happens when the spam filter does the mistake of trashing messages from your acquaintances and sends them right in the spam bin?...

The best way to know if the computer is infected with a rooted virus is to pay attention to symptoms. Usually, once Windows contacts a virus, misleading things happen, like unknown programs are opened when entering Internet Explorer (and sometimes, other browsers, too), various pop-ups begin to appear on the screen without reason, and so on. In most cases, the virus actually pretends to be anti-virus. It forces the user to purchase a full license by lying that the whole system has been infected and that only by paying you can get rid of infections....

Low-light conditions usually interfere with our photos in so high percentages that even seasoned smartphone manufacturers, like HTC and Nokia, give a special attention to the camera, preparing it for these kinds of environments. When the camera does not help, we can. In the following paragraphs, we are going to discuss and present the best practices on how to take good photos in bad lighting. Taking photos in low-light situations Many professional photographers know that the ideal time of the day to take photos is in the Golden Hours – the beginning or ending of a day when the light is softer, warmer and directional and the sun is not already on the sky to create those tedious shadows, like it is in midday....

If you’ve been an Android user long enough, you’d have likely purchased some apps and games from the Play Store. And, if this count is quite high, you may have lost track of your purchase history over time and perhaps are looking for an easy way to view all your purchased apps and games. Although Google makes it really easy to reinstall previously-installed apps and games on your device and find out which apps and games are missing from your current device, finding a purchased app/game—especially if you don’t remember its name—on this list can be challenging....

Currently, the printing market is dominated by the American multinational HP with 36% market share. They are closely followed by a Canon, Epson, Brother and Samsung. That said, with increased use of digital documents among corporates and businesses, even companies like HP is facing the heat....

As Brad Molen of Engadget puts it, RE looks like a tiny periscope or a PVC pipe or an Asthma inhaler. The first thing one would assume is that HTC RE is competing with GoPro, but according to HTC, it’s not. Interestingly, it’s competing with your smartphone cameras. And HTC has a heck of a job convincing people to pay $199 for a gadget like this. RE comes with a 16-MegaPixel camera with a very wide-angle (146 degree) f2....

Huami rose to the forefront after it started manufacturing the $15 Mi Band for Xiaomi. The latest Mi Band 2 comes packed with a heart rate sensor, pedometer, sleep tracker and is sold under the Xiaomi Branding.
