If you've had the opportunity to spend some basic time on the internet, you would have surely come across Pokemon Go! You may have seen a bunch of Memes? OR photos? Or Videos? Well, thank us 90's kids for that. Pokemon was such an integral part of our lifes that we simply couldn't let it go! But if by any chance, You've been living under a rock and have no idea what i'm talking about, Pokemon Go is an Augmented Reality game from the developers at Niantic. It requires you to physically move around in real life in order to move your character in the game, Who obviously is a Pokemon Trainer!
They have embedded several game entities in real world physical places with the help of GPS,Which is used by the game to provide a game view!  But before you run to download it, It's been released ONLY IN AUSTRALIA, USA AND NZ.

WHAT NEXT Bruh?

When you do jump into the app, you'll first have to enter your Date of birth(You'll enter a fake one anyway). Then you'll be taken to the login page where you can either login with your gmail account or go for a pokemon trainer account. Then you are taken to the page which displays the most important message you will ever see in the whole world of Pokemon Go. I'll leave it to read for yourslef, In simple words, It does not want you to jump into a lake to catch a Blastroise or a Laprase.

THENNNNN?

Thennnnnn you'll be welcomed by a certain Professor. Willow[Trust me, I miss Professor Oak]. He'll give you the basic info about the game, and then you'll be pushed into a section where you will get to choose your Trainer Avatar!

Then you get to customize your trainer Avatar, Make yourself look cool. Then, You get to the GAME!

First you get into the game, you find 3 Pokemon as a starter pack, A Charmender, Squattle and a Bulbasar. You get to choose one of them by throwing the pokeball at the right place  on it. You get to catch only one of those. 

Main entities in the game are the Pokestops and the Gym's. These entities were located at important landmarks and locations when in context of USA and other countries, But in India, These Gyms and Pokestops are located at Temples, Mosques and Churches! ERRR. INDIA. <3 2="" 4="" a="" be="" div="" granny="" hours="" i="" in="" me="" my="" of="" oh="" proud="" shall="" so="" span="" temples="" to="" went="">

When you arrive at PokeStops you can spin the wheel and you get a few poke balls and when lucky get portions and other ad-don's. You can go play at Gym's after you reach Level 5! I've had the chance to play it for about 2 days, With almost 62 Pokemon in my bag, Oh yeah. B|

At the end of February 2016, OnePlus CEO Carl Pei  revealed the company would launch it's latest tech offering by the end of the Second Quarter of 2016 ie.., Betweeen April and June of this year.

June, Has just started and we are all buzzing with news on the OnePlus 3, Infact they dropped a mail last night confirming the lauch on the 14th of June, 2016.

A lot of Info about the new OnePlus 3 is doing the rounds, Here is a one-stop knowledge base for everything we know about the OnePlus 3, Includes Rumours, Leaks and other stuff. Solid!

Design:

If you've spend considerable time on the Social networking sites, I'm sure you must have come across this. The initial renders showed us that OnePlus ditched it's trademark Sandstone back for a more sturdy material, All this was true. Now, It's confirmed. It's METALLLLLLLLLLLLL! Okay. Let me sober up. OnePlus is going the HTC way and looks on road to be making a One chunk metal UniBody design. The initial renders showed it to be something like the HTC's M series phones. If metal is gracefully used, It's the best you can ask for.

RAM:

Probably, This is the other one that's doing the rounds. OnePlus 3 is rumored to have 6GB OF RAM. I repeat, 6GB. Well, The discussion of whether this is needed or not can be done some other day. Which speculations are adrift that there will be two models, One with a standard 3 GB RAM and the other with 6 Gigs, The fact remains that there is every possibility of this being true, Only time will tell. Frankly, I feel 6GB RAM is an unnecessary luxury.

Processor:

This one was quite easy, OnePlus has always gone one with what the best of Qualcomm has had to offer, This time around it's the Snapdragon 820 SOC on board the OnePlus 3. It's not *really* confirmed, But that's not hard to guess either. No more fuss on this.

OS:

This one too has had it's share of speculations with screenshots and leaked images showing the OnePlus 3 running on preview versions of Android N with a skin on it. But let's be practical on this, No one in their right sense of the mind would release a phone running on preview builds. So it'sbe safe to say that, out of the box OnePlus 3 will be running Oxygen OS 3.0 up-top Android Marsh mellow 6.0 and needless to say, will receive the N update as soon as possible.

Camera(s):

Camera's haven't been OnePlus's strongest game, They've played it safe most of the times, This time around they seem to have dumped in a 16MP rear shooter and an 8MP front camera, Sufficient for toooo many selfies. Also, Renders show that there will be a camera bump on the back. Not necessarily a negative though. That aside, It should be a decent camera.

Internal Memory: 

ATLAST. 16 GB Internal storage model will DIE. RIP. *Maintains only one minute of silence*

Okay, So the minimum internal storage version will be 32 GB and a higher one with 64 GB on board storage, Also the SD card tray from the OnePlus X is going to be in here! So it's safe to say, The storage department is clean as you like it.

Invites:

Are you planning to buy the OnePlus 3? DO YOU HAVE AN INVITE? You won't hear those lines anymore. YOU DON'T NEED AN INVITE. OnePlus has decided to ditch invites. It's Invite Free now. OnePlus has grown up. :')

Pricing:

If the two variant/model game is anything to go by, Two variants at $300 and $360 should be the gameplan. Well, This is one department you really can't play guesses, Better we wait and watch.

I hope you found this useful, spread the love, Share this article. So, Keeping watching this space as i'll be updating it with all the new additions when they happen. So stay tuned, 10 PM IST 14th June 2016. The OnePlus 3 is coming! Also, Don't forget to share this, Thank you. :)

I've had a chance to use three of the five headphones on this list and have been satisfied with their performance. Thank you.

Last week, A friend of mine posted on Facebook about the demise of his Grandmother. I felt sorry for him, I wanted him to know that. I almost clicked the like button, It suddenly pinched me.. Should I LIKE the sad news that he posted? I was on a sticky wicket. After some thought I posted a comment. But there could have been a better solution.

Just the other day, another one of my friends posted something very sarcastic and I was laughing my ass off! But how'd I let him know? But 'just' a LIKE wasn't enough to showcase how I felt.. I commented 'lmao' on his post.

Don't we deserve a better way of expressing our-self with just a click of a button?  Yes we do.

All this will be history, On the morning of Wednesday Facebook rolled out a bunch of 'emotions' to compliment the veteran LIKE button.

Globally launched emoticons that depict 'Love' , 'Haha', 'Wow', 'Sad' and 'Angry' , were embedded into the already existing 'Like' button. 

On mobile, press-holding the like button would show up the emoticon tray.

Where as on desktop, Hovering over the Like button with the cursor would carry out the same operation.

This may sound like a small improvement or an update that was much awaited, But it is of great importance to the internet on the whole.

The generation of web is growing bigger, so are it's users who grow wider and that would mean more interaction. But surprisingly the clarity of information and expression has been diminishing alarmingly. Either they are misunderstood, or never understood.

In this case, tools which provide the user to express and understand at a glance, are the need of the hour. Kudos to Facebook for that.

P.S: A lot will depend on how it is going to be used! 

Every film industry has this one actor who does just one(or two)movie every year but makes the masses go crazy about it? And then it's a Super hit too.

In the mobile industry, OnePlus plays that role. Rolling out as an upstart, It captured eyeballs with its debut handset OnePlus One followed up by the OnePlus two and then, supplemented by the budg'hit' of OnePlus X!

OnePlus 3, What can we expect?

What next? OnePlus CEO Carl Pei revealed that a new phone, The OnePlus Three [Wasn't that obvious?] Has already been planned out and will be launched at the end of Q2! Well, Q2 is the second quarter of the financial calander. That would be between April-June.

He also revealed the OnePlus 3 would feature a design that would 'captivate' potential customers! No other further details were revealed about the flagship.

A decent bit of guessing won't harm us. Will it? 

The phone may be expected to retain it's 5.5' display but step up the already beautiful resolution or the display type. My guess for the processor will be a Snapdragon 820, The latest edition to the powerhouse family. Alongside the 820, OnePlus could stick to the 3GB RAM in the DDR3 department. A notable improvement could be made in the Battery Department to assist the performance factor. Well all this could be right, Or all wrong. We'll know that only when the phone launches in the April-June. Until then, Seeya!

Motorola is one of America’s proudest brands. Started by the brothers Galvin in Chicago in 1928 as a battery company, it moved to manufacturing car radios, hence the name; a combination of “motor” and “Victrola.” In 1943 the company went public, after producing the first walkie-talkie for the military and all kinds of cellular infrastructure that made possible the cell phone of today. Beginning in 1958, it developed two-way radios for NASA space flights, allowing Mission Control to communicate with astronaut Neil Armstrong as he stepped on the moon in 1969. It began manufacturing televisions in 1947 developing the first truly rectangular color TV, a business it later sold to Panasonic.

In 1983, it came out with the first commercial cell phone, a DynaTAC 8000X. Along the way, it also invented Six Sigma, a quality improvement process Jack Welch at GE made famous. Over the years we are satisfied with the technology and build quality offered in products and remember they were the pioneers in introducing six sigma concepts to the world. They were the market leaders in setup boxes, modems, DVR, Semiconductors and Mobile phones for a long time.Motorola launched basic phones and entered the Indian Smartphone market as early as 2000 when Nokia was the market leader with Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, Siemens, Ericsson as the other competitors.

Nothing is sadder than the tale of what happened to the RAZR. This amazingly thin, handsome clamshell phone was developed by Motorola in July 2003 and introduced a year later. when Geoffrey Frost, Motorola’s marketing chief, who unfortunately died two years later at age 56, planned and executed the “Hello Moto” campaign that launched this product, and was around long enough to see it sell 110 million units worldwide, boosting Motorola for a time to second only to Nokia in handheld phones. Till 2006 they ruled the market with minimum market share by launching extra ordinary phones like Moto RAZR, Pebble etc. But unlike the Koreans companies, Motorola didn’t embrace the Android OS and between 2009-12 they launched Smartphones under the familiar names of RAZR, Defy and Droid and at the same time they continued to lose the market share from 2011.

Suddenly Google acquired Motorola to compete with Apple and Microsoft followed the strategy by acquiring Nokia. But critics said that Google acquired Motorola mainly for their patents. Expectations among spectators raised and Motorola released their first phone under Google shadow name X on August 2013 offering variety of customization. The boxes are engraved with the stickers naming “Motorola- A Google Company”. The launch of Motorola X which carries high-end specs with low price tags created confusion among Nexus fans. People said Google will shutdown Nexus division and may continue Motorola devices in future. Thus Moto X started to create internal competition between Google devices.

In yet another step, Motorola launched a Moto G, a 12000 bucks phone and was met with huge success all over the world. Especially in India when it was launched through Indian e-commerce site Flipkart, it sold out like hotcakes. A few days later Moto X too hit the Indian market with a killer price tag.By the success of these two models, they launched Moto E at 7200 bucks and had an overwhelming response in India. While it revived company’s fortunes it dealt a huge blow to the Indian brands like Micromax, Lava, Karbonn, Wickedleaks and Spice.

On January 2014 Google announced that Motorola is acquired by Chinese manufacturer Lenovo (Wait whaaat!!?)  . This created a huge confusion among Motorola fans and the reason was unknown. This clarifies one thing that Nexus devices are safe (*phew!*). After the acquisition of Lenovo, Motorola has not launched any model till now but still boxes come with “Motorola a Google company” tag. One interesting fact is the difference between the screen sizes in three devices E, G, X are 0.2 inches and priced around multiples of 7K.

 Motorola once again started regaining their market position all over the world by launching perfect models in competitive price tag. But current Smartphone market is filled with huge vendors and it is stiff to compete with other local & international brands. In a way the trend-setting internet giant (Google of course!) has managed to resurrect one of the iconic American brands, now can the Chinese build on it? Let’s wait and watch.

The thing about good things is, Most of the times you have to pay a price to get them. Sounded somewhat true last night when I sacrificed my nights sleep for the Apple Event in San Francisco. "Sleep? Wasnt the event in the morning? " Yeah.. It indeed was in the morning for Tim Cook and crew, But for someone living about 12 hours around the world from San Francisco it turns out to be late in the night. Though I had more than one reasons to stay up all night, How could I miss Apple's 'promising' event? Jokes apart, It was worth it.

I've followed about 3 Apple events-Launches(Thats less ) and this was the one that really stood up. Same day last year Apple released some products which became the butt of internet jokes before going out on healthy sales. Typical Apple. This time around, The jokes could wait a bit I guess. Apple came up with 4 products(Upgrades and New entries).

Apple TV:
No idea why I felt like placing this on the top of this list where you would have expected the iPhone, But take a look at the Apple TV.

"The future of TV... Is apps." Says Tim Cook introducing the core idea of the Apple TV on the whole.
Highlighting its capabilities, Focus is placed on its powerful hardware, Modern OS utilizing its new User interface on the user side. Focusing on apps leads to a solid app store and powered by the new developer tools to fill up the store!

With the new Apple TV comes Apple's best lady. Siri. The Apple TV can be controlled both by voice as well as the multi utility remote control. Just hold the voice button and We have the reliable Siri with the tag line 'What can I help you with'. Capable of going about most of your searches and needs   casually, This turns out to be a notable addition to this version running the tvOS.
Coming to the remote, It is a solidly built 4.5 inchish piece of tech which on the rear could be mistaken for a new trimmed out iPod. On the front you a classy hardware interface starting with a Glass touch pad on the top which is your headstart touch interface making it 'fluid and precise' to interact!

On the whole this could be an improvement to the Original Apple TV. But is it worth the update in your living room? Well think about it, 149$ for the 32GB Flash storage and 199$ for the 64 version. The existing Apple TV sells at 69$ as of now.

Apple iPad Pro:

You don't stay home and watch TV too much? But you miss that large sharp screen? No worries. 'Apple to your rescueeeeeeeeee' Enter a new iPad with 12.9' screen. YES. 12.9' That's almost the size of Macbook Air.
Guess the name? 'Uhh.. iPad Huge? Or iPad Large? Or iPad Humongous? Just like they named the smaller one as 'iPad Mini?'  Well.. You have have a point... But its called the iPad Pro. Typical Apple.

Pun aside, This is a beast with the A9-X processing this huge tablet, With it comes 4GB of RAM. Apple clams it is faster than 80% of the portable PC's that shipped last year. Cool ain't it? The display is the same crisp and fasicinating retina display which fills into the larger size. (2732x2048) *_*

Then, Apple released a couple of 'accessories' alongside it. They are quite interesting, Trust me. *Evil Laugh*

They released a Keyboard for the iPad. A large display with this keyboard  would almost be a laptop. That's a cool idea! But wait.. This seems so familiar, *Microsoft surface PRO!* Yes, The keyboard, The fold, The package, The smart connector -Damn similar! But.. Apple will never accept it. Not will Apple Fanboys. xD At 169$ this will furthur deplete your pockets!

Then the Apple pencil. That's what apple named it.I'll keep this very very short. In simple, Its a stylus. A stylus which is sold at 99$. It seems to have a battery which charges through the iPad port. It works well alongside apple's force touch technology. For further information, Please Google it.

*I'm not able to complete the article as of now due to some inevitable circumstances, But I didn't feel like leaving this thing in my draft box. Hence.*
