The Google-owned YouTube, the most popular video streaming website, is testing a new ‘dark mode’ feature that is expected to cause less strain to the user’s eyes while watching YouTube videos at night time or dimly-lit environments. While Google brought the dark theme for desktop users late last year and later on for iOS users earlier this year, Android users still had to wait to receive this update. Looks like the wait is finally over for at least some Android users, who reported that the dark theme was mysteriously applied when they opened the official YouTube app on Android. The app also served a pop-up at the bottom of the screen informing that this feature is available now. The dark mode comes with a toggle that allows the user to switch off the mode and revert to the light theme if they wish to. Although Google has not officially announced the feature, this mode is now available for Android. The dark theme basically reverses the color of the YouTube app UI (user interface

On 26 July, Microsoft released the first Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18204 codenamed ‘19H1’ (also known as Redstone 6) to Windows Insiders who are in the Skip Ahead ring. Looks like Microsoft is no longer going to use Redstone codenames for the next version of Windows and instead use the newly re-named codename ‘19H1’, where 19 represents the year 2019 and H1 refers to the first half of the year. “Going forward, RS5 builds will come from the RS5_RELEASE branch. For Insiders who chose to “skip ahead”, 19H1 builds will continue to come from the RS_PRERELEASE branch. Insiders can see the branch name in the watermark at the lower right of their desktop. Right now, the builds from these branches are largely the same which is why we’re only doing a single blog post for both of today’s new builds. However, in the future, we will be doing separate blog posts for each. To summarize all this, see the below graphic that explains what Skip Ahead is,” Microsoft’s Dona Sarkar writes in a

We were expecting to see Google announce Google Fuchsia, or Google Andromeda – a fusion of its Chrome and Android operating systems – back in October 2017. That announcement never happened.  What will Google Fuchsia be, though? Well, while the Google Pixelbook and some of the other best Chromebooks can run Android apps through the Google Play Store, and even an early version of Fuchsia, we believe the finished product will be much more. It seems like there’s some kind of divide within Google regarding what Google Fuchsia will actually be. While the team that’s working on it wants Fuchsia to be the penultimate Google OS, running on all phones, tablets, laptops and smart home devices – Google’s leadership is still referring to it as an experiment. So, we’ll just have to wait and see if anything materializes out of it in the coming years. Regardless of whether it ever fully releases, or what kind of software it ultimately supports, the concept of Google Fuchsia revolves around

After three years of debut of Energous’ wireless “power at a distance” charging system, it has now approved by the Federal Communications commission (FCC). FCC has approved this new type of charger, Wattup Mid Field transmitter, for the first time. This technology is much more advance than the previous wireless charging technologies because this will charge up batteries from as far as three feet away. And with this, we enter a complete new era of wireless charging of devices. It is able to charge battery-operated devices like phone, tablets, smart speakers, smart watches, fitness trackers etc. using a technique that Energous compares to Wi-Fi, as long as the battery-operated device has the company’s receivers. Wattup has a transmitter which emits energy via a radio frequency signal. It is being delivered by custom chips and miniature antenna arrays. And after the transmission, device having the Wattup receiver converts the RF signal into battery power. Energous claims its product be

Indians now account for the third-highest chunk of visitors to Pornhub thanks to falling data pack rates of Mukesh Ambani’s Jio When you think of India, the image that generally comes up in the mind is a deeply conservative society which has lots of taboos about sex. Well, it seems that with falling mobile Internet prices, Indians too are shedding their conservative outlook and visiting the world’s most popular adult entertainment website in droves. Yes, Indians are now the third largest visitors to Pornhub ahead of many European countries. And all this is thanks to Mukesh Ambani and his Jio mobile network which is offering Internet data pack to Indians at lowest rates in the world (Jio is offering hi-speed 4G 1GB data a day to Indians for as low as 0.08 cents). This has enabled the poorest of the poor to join the data pack bandwagon in India and Pornhub seems to be one of the major beneficiaries. Jio has in many ways started a digital revolution in India because it is giving 1G

Road Rash, the game everyone loved and grew up with in the 1990s is coming back! If you belong to the generation that was born somewhere in the 1970s, you would have played Road Rash at least once. The iconic and cult classic DOS-based game which some fans love to play even today is going to make a comeback. I remember those days when we went to some place that had a computer and the first thing we would search for was the Road Rash game. The addictive game could keep games engaged for hours. Now the iconic Road Rash is back albeit with a new name. And some superlative graphics. However, the developers behind the new version of Road Rash say that but the basic ethos of riding motorcycles against some weapon wielding competition including the swearing has been kept as it is. The new game will be called Road Redemption and is scheduled to release on the 4th of October 2017. The creators call the new Road Redemption a spiritual successor to the original Road Rash.
