Useful Fact #1

-
Page and Brin originally nicknamed their new search engine "BackRub", because the system checked backlinks to estimate the importance of a site. Eventually they changed the name to Google, originating from a misspelling of the word "googol", the number one followed by one hundred zeros, which was picked to signify that the search engine was intended to provide large quantities of information.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8... The bigger Galaxy S8???

-
Image
Samsung has finally unveiled the Galaxy Note8, revealing the (rather heavily-leaked) device at its Unpacked event in New York City today. The Note8 sports a 6.3" Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display at an aspect ratio of 18.5:9. Branded as an Infinity Display like those on the S8 and S8+, the Note8's screen has incredibly tiny bezels all around, giving it a striking and modern look. But the similarities don't end there. The Note8 has the same processor (Snapdragon 835), same storage (64GB in the US), same IP68 rating, wireless charging, and same ports (USB-C, 3.5mm) as the S8. It runs basically the same TouchWiz software, albeit updated to Android 7.1.1. Pre-orders start on the 24th a nd the US will be getting only two of the four total colors (at least, to start) - Orchid Grey and Black. In the US, the Note8 will be on all four major carriers, as well as available unlocked direct from Samsung and select retailers. Retail availability in the US starts on September ...

Nova Launcher v5.5 beta (finally) brings adaptive icons support

-

One of the best features Android Oreo bright was the adaptive icons in which developers can make different icon shapes so that the user can choose one according to his like our dislike. Yesterday, Nova Launcher v5.5 came up on Play Store with adaptive icons support. At this moment, I don't think they are working well and are a little bit buggy. By default, they are turned off in the launcher settings.   There are almost only the Google apps supporting the feature with some few others. For those apps, Nova intelligently changes the background with the primary colour of that icon. I don't know if they support only default icons or different icon packs too because on my phone, only when icons are selected to system, the feature works. Anyway, if you also want to give it a try, you can sign in as a beta tester for Nova launcher or install the APK file from the link given down below. Nova Launcher 5.5-beta1

Just Think... Has OnePlus really did it correct by making OnePlus 5 OLD???

-

With the release of OnePlus 5T, the company's latest and greatest flagship just right around the price of OnePlus and even keeping it the same in countries like India, everyone is treating and greeting it as a 'flagship killer, 'a must buy' or whatever. But just think, has OnePlus really did it correctly. I am talking of those who brought the OnePlus 5 just a few months ago. As of now, their device is just an older version or model of the country. The gap between the release of OnePlus 5 and the 5T is around 5 months only which will be approx. 150 days. Is this new T even really new? OnePlus 5 and 5T are both a great device but the 5 lacks many of those small things and gaps which have been now filled up by the 5T. But for me, that's not good if you released the previous model of your smartphone series just between the gap of a number of days. Those who brought the OnePlus 5 would be probably thinking if they could think of a wait for a few months at t...
