The Echo Show 5 will be available in two colors – Charcoal and Sandstone and will retail for $89....

Google has devised several layers of encryption to prevent any sort of unauthorized access, although, the algorithms aren’t quite robust due to the immense fragmentation issue and therefore, even a single liability or fault can disclose everything....

The hardware isn’t underpowered like before. Google is promising a ‘premium experience’ with hardware including dual rear cameras, Snapdragon 625 processor, and 4GB of RAM....

We are talking about Micromax, the company that has emerged seemingly out of nowhere to become the second highest seller of phones in India right behind Samsung (one report even placed it ahead of Samsung)....

We are talking of course, of Apple. Cometh the product presentation and cometh almost inevitably the slides proving that the product being showcased is better than a similar one from Cupertino – be it in RAM, camera quality, thinness, screen size, pixel density and the Lord alone knows what else. We had written last year that there now seemed to be an element of respect in the Android-iPhone rivalry. However, that seems to have been an overly optimistic assumption – for most brands, the icon in the bulls-eye remains an Apple shaped one....

It is ironic that Houseparty, an app from the makers of Meerkat has been once again thwarted by the Facebook’s offering. Meerkat was a live streaming app that could no longer compete with the Twitter-owned Periscope and Facebook Live thus finally shutting its shop.
