I had expressed my thoughts on the JioPhone in a previous article, calling it the final piece in the Jio Puzzle. Much of what I had written in the article remains true even now, but we also have additional details available on the JioPhone. I had erred in predicting that the Jio Phone would not have an app store, but it is official now that it does. Keeping this and several other details in mind, let us take a closer look at the JioPhone....
In Summary The 2021 iPhone Photography Awards have been announced. Rather amazingly, the photograph that won the Grand Prize was clicked by the now almost-ancient iPhone 7 (a phone released in late 2016). In fact, NONE of the major winners were clicked by a device released in 2020, which made us realize something. No, it was much more than that. Allow me to digress for a moment. One of the first questions that often get asked whenever we take a good picture is: “which camera/phone did you use to take it?...
Grayware, as the name suggests, sits somewhere in the middle between purposely malicious and not. At best, this software is annoying; at worst, it can act as an open doorway to actual malicious programs. As grayware apps are unlikely to have been developed using secure coding practices, they leave your IT resources, including mobile devices, open to Internet-borne threats. Grayware, also known as Potentially Unwanted Program or Potentially Unwanted Application (PUP/PUA), is on the rise....

The Nexus 9 was a popular enough Android-based tablet when it first went on sale, but it looks like it’s the End Days for the slate. CNET has confirmed with HTC that the company is no longer producing the tablet any longer. That would make sense, considering the Nexus 9 was pulled from the Google Store at the end of April. HTC did also confirm that it has a limited amount of stock available on its official website, though, so if you’re interested in still picking one up, there’s at least one option....

1. Asus ROG Mothership Taiwanese PC maker, Asus kicked off its new year by taking the wraps off the ROG Mothership, a beast of a gaming computer that is neither an all-in-one nor a traditional laptop. At best, the ROG Mothership can be imagined as an enormous, overpowered Surface Pro for gamers. The ROG Mothership is a 17-inch gaming laptop with a kickstand at the back to make it sit upright (since it weighs 10....
The new Nubia X comes with a 6.26-inch 1080p screen on the front which has almost no bezels on either side. That’s because the company has skipped the selfie camera entirely and instead, added a second 5.1-inch screen on the back. That allows you to simply click selfies with the rear camera and preview them on the phone’s rear. The additional display can even remain always-on for showing you several details such as the time, notifications, and more....
This is confirmed by the researchers at CheckPoint, who see in this new cyber threat the same potential of ‘Mirai’ to launch computer attacks (as denial-of-service campaigns -DDoS-) on a large scale, but with a level of sophistication and speed of expansion much greater than we knew until now. This network mainly enslaves connected devices belonging to the Internet of Things, such as routers and remote cameras. Experts at the end of September detected a “growing number of attempts” to exploit the vulnerabilities of this class of objects in order to add them to this network....
Apteligent has released its tally for new Android flagship device launches in the second half of 2016, the visuals are quite stunning. The most obvious takeaway is that in a normal year a new Samsung Note absolutely blows away its competitors, with a massive spike in sales at launch a sustained sell-through. This year that initial burst is followed by an equally steep decline as people rushed to return their hsets following a global recall....

It also attracts the attention of hackers and cybercriminals, who latch on to the hype of a major movie and infect pirated copies with malware. It’s an easy way to distribute malware en masse, but is it really that dangerous?...
I know I’ve seen my fair share of these scams as well, although mine typically goes the employer and insurance routes. These swindlers not only try to extort money from you, in a lot of ways, but they also make it sound like you don’t have a choice. Although there are always exceptions to the rule, such as trying to get information or money through email for employment reasons too....
You see, two years ago, almost to the month, the Samsung Galaxy S4 was launched, with quad core Snapdragon 600 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 5” 1080p screen, 13MP camera with 1080p video capture, NFC and loads of sensors. This data point is interesting because it’s still just as capable as anything being launched in 2015. I should know – I’ve got one. This all comes to mind after reading a Register editorial reporting on how ‘savvy’ consumers are being far more choosy and not chasing after the very latest specs and 2015 trends....

Was I ever wrong. The device in question is called the Pivo Pod Active, which sells for $139.99. What is the Pivo Pod Active? It’s an AI-powered device that uses either an Android or iOS app to track and follow your face (or body, depending on how you set it up) while you create video content. I’ve been skeptical about such devices because I’ve experienced a number of them that really failed to deliver....
The new concern of cybersecurity professionals is named as Xavier. We speak of a virus that executes remote code in order to steal passwords and other private data, showing special interest in those related to online payment gateways and banking applications, but also in the identity of the user and in information about the SIM and the Phone model. It is the app whose developers themselves have introduced Xavier into the code of their applications, thinking that it was a legitimate service to provide ads with which to monetize their software....
