I guess we all know by now that the next MIUI 9 version of Xiaomi’s user interface will be announced next week (July 26) along with the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 5X model. OK so far? This new MIUI version brings a lot of software improvements, bug fixes but also changes in the way we use (and see) the menus as you can understand. For example it will include the desk dock column which changes its position. Also the dock bar has been eliminated, leaving only the icons (which is something a lot of us asked for  -I guess –  for years now). Several changes have also been made to the lock screen appearance: now there’s a lot of free space, with some shortcuts for Universal Remote Control, Mi-Pay, and Xiaomi Bus on the left side, along with another shortcut to open the Flashlight feature (note that we’re talking specifically for the Chinese ROM, which will be the first to get the MIUI 9 update). As you may already know so far, there will be new features such a...

In most cases, clicking on the app buttons will take you to the snapshot of the information as available on the income tax website. The app, therefore, is more of a helping guide to zero-in to one's tax concern wh...

What explains Flipkart’s generous offer to Snapdeal? In a word, SoftBank If SoftBank adequately funds Flipkart and helps it stave off the threat from Amazon.com Inc., who knows, all who are involved in the current circuitous transaction will end up with smiles. Photo: Hemant Mishra/Mint Online retailer Flipkart has sent a revised buyout offer of roughly $850 million to smaller rival Snapdeal, according to a  Mint  report . This is about $150 million more than its offer about two weeks ago, which was rejected by Snapdeal’s board. Is Snapdeal worth that much? Of course not. Its market share has shrunk rapidly and it has all but disappeared from the list of preferred venues for online shopping. Left on its own, Snapdeal will collapse. What then explains Flipkart’s generous offer? In a word, SoftBank. If Snapdeal collapses, SoftBank will end up with egg on its face for investing nearly $1 billion in a failed venture. To save face, it is reported to be negot...

Once detected, the display then shows a check box. An app with Core NFC will then be able to provide the related details. Cybersecurity company WISeKey has announced that its CapSeal smart tag will support the iPhone as it will now use Core NFC. The firm, in a press release said, "When placed on a bottle of spirit or a bottle of lubricant oil, for instance, and tapped by an NFC phone, the chip is able to securely authenticate and track the bottle like an ePass...

 Reliance Jio has moved Bombay High Court against Bharti Airtel and global broadband tester Ookla for running advertisements proclaiming Airtel to be India's fastest network. Jio says it lost reputation and money on the campaign that amounts to conspiracy, defamation and breach of trust, among others. It also named Ziff Davis, a digital media company that acquired Ookla in 2014, in the complaint. In an emailed statement to ET, a spokesperson said Airtel has not received a copy of Jio's complaint. Airtel labelled the allegations as "frivolous and baseless" and reflecting the "growing frustration of a competitor that has been unable to make a dent despite offering free services and predatory pricing." Jio and Ookla did not respond to ET's queries. Ziff Davis could not be reached for comment. Bad blood is brewing between the two telcos — owned by Mukesh Ambani and Sunil Bharti Mittal — as Jio asked for trial under Sections 204, 406, 420, 465, 499 and 12...

India's media and entertainment industry is forecast to touch $34.8 billion by 2021, logging a CAGR of 11.8 per cent in the preceding five years, paced by significant growth in digital platforms that would increasingly draw more eyeballs than competing outreach vehicles. According to EY's report on the industry, released at the FICCI-IIFA Global Business Forum in New York, growth in digital media businesses would far outpace TV, print, radio or music concerts at 26 per cent CAGR between 2016 and 2021. With an economy of $2.3 trillion and expanding at a rate north of 7 per cent, India remains an under-advertised country, compared with OECD economies.

​ features missing in WhatsApp that rivals have. In the last few years, WhatsApp has become the de facto mode of communication for most of us? Family, workplace and friends, WhatsApp keeps us ‘connected’ with all. But, there are still some features that the world's top messaging app lacks -- features that it rivals boast of. Here are 8 features missing in WhatsApp that you may find in its rivals. StickersWords are slowly being replaced by emoticons. Why type “this is so funny” when you can use a “smiley” emoticon, right? Emoticons, however, aren’t being replaced by stickers though they might be feeling the pressure from stickers. Stickers have become an essential part of most messaging apps available. It does come as a surprise that this feature remains missing from arguably one of the most popular app – Whatsapp. Other popular apps, including, Facebook Messenger, Viber, Hike and others offer a sea of stickers to the users to make conversations more interesting.

YouTube has starting rolling out video thumbnail previews for its primary desktop website. The popular video sharing service announced the availability of the feature via its global Twitter handle.

According to the Fast Company website, this feature will help enhancing the augmented reality and rear camera autofocus experience.

Its for all intents and purposes, the Windows Phone era is over. Microsoft has  ended support  for  Windows Phone 8.1  just over 3 years after its April 2014 debut. From now on, your WP8.1-toting device won't get software updates or technical help. This doesn't mark the end of Microsoft's mobile ambitions ( Windows 10 Mobile  is still hanging around), but it does finish a long, sad story in the company's history that reflects the tech giant's shifting priorities. Windows Phone 7  was launched in 2010 as Microsoft's formal response to the iPhone and Android. This was the release that was going to prove Microsoft could make a truly consumer-focused mobile platform instead of catering primarily to the business crowd. The tile-based home screen and other interface elements were breaths of fresh air, but the so-so device lineup ( HTC Surround  anyone?) and lack of feature parity (it launched  without copy-and-paste text ) set the tone. It wa...
