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. ...

When we talk about Android app development, we immediately think of Java. But should we? So in this Post I am going to explain few reasons why we should all think about switching over to Kotlin instead. Tech is full of stories where a new technological marvel comes along to challenge the long-established order. When we talk about Android app development, Java is the dominant programming language. We all immediately assume this is so. But is it true? For me, no. There are so many other languages that can be used for writing Android apps that are also compliant with the JVM. Which brings me to my main point for today: JAVA is obsolete. It has been overthrown by Kotlin. Kotlin is going to be the future platform for designing and writing Android apps. In fact, many developers have already titled it as the premium class language for writing the Android Apps. Peter Ducker once said, “For new technology to replace old, it has to have at least ten times the benefit.” Following that ...

Kotlin is a statically-typed programming language that runs on the Java virtual machine and also can be compiled to JavaScript source code or uses the LLVM compiler infrastructure. Its primary development is from a team of JetBrains programmers based in Saint Petersburg, Russia. While the syntax is not compatible with Java, Kotlin is designed to interoperate with Java code and is reliant on Java code from the existing Java Class Library, such as the collections framework. The name comes from Kotlin Island, near St. Petersburg. Andrey Breslav mentioned that the team decided to name it after an island just like Java was named after the Indonesian island of Java. Kotlin is a fully supported programming language on Android. History In July 2011 JetBrains unveiled Project Kotlin, a new language for the JVM, which had been under development for a year. JetBrains lead Dmitry Jemerov said that most languages did not have the features they were looking for...

Oracle Corp. has just announced the general availability of Java SE 9 (JDK 9), Java Platform Enterprise Edition 8 (Java EE 8) and the Java EE 8 Software Development Kit (SDK). In other words, these releases have set the stage for faster releases and more open source engagement from now on. JDK 9 is a production-ready implementation of the Java SE 9 Platform Specification, which was recently approved along with Java EE 8 in the Java Community Process (JCP). On the other hand, with updates to eight major specifications, Java EE 8 looks to streamline and simplify the Java EE platform for the cloud and micro services. Java SE 9 The star feature of Java SE 9 is the Java Platform Module System, also known as Project Jigsaw, whose goal is to help developers reliably assemble and maintain sophisticated applications. The module system also makes the JDK more flexible, as it allows the developers to bundle only the parts of the JDK that is required to run an application when deploying to...

MediaTek announced two new chipsets to the SoC market today - the Helio P23 and the Helio P30 . Devices with the ICs will hit the market in the last quarter of 2017, but the P30 will be available only in China. Like all Helio P-series chipsets, the P23 and the P30 come with octa-core CPU (four Cortex-A53 clocked at 2.3 GHz and four more at 1.65 GHz). The GPU is provided by Mali and is the G71MP2 with respectively 770 MHz or 950 MHz frequency. This comes as an update from the Mali T880 configuration in the P20 and the P25. According to MediaTek , the new SoC incorporate newer generation IP block to bring them closer to the flagship Helio X30 (currently available only in the Meizu Pro 7 Plus that arrived for a review). The company also put all the specifics in simpler terms - the P23 and the P30 will provide more versatility when browsing, taking pictures with the dual camera setup and sharing them. The P23 can support dual 13 MP cameras or a single 24 MP sensor, while the P3...
