But, as has been the case for the high-end offering in Apple’s tablet lineup for several years now, the real story here is the software. There’s even more pressure on Apple to deliver this year with the addition of Stage Manager, an entirely new approach to multitasking on the iPad with the launch of iPadOS 16.1. For nearly two weeks now, I’ve been using the 12.9-inch version of the brand-new 2022 edition iPad Pro, complete with 1TB of storage, 16GB of memory, and Apple’s M2 Apple Silicon....

It’s certainly worth looking out for, as the ThinkBook 16p Gen 2 is an attractive 16-inch laptop whose combination of AMD Ryzen 9 processor and discrete GeForce RTX graphics holds out the promise of workstation-class performance at a competitive price. Design & features This is not the sleekest 16-inch laptop, measuring 19.9mm (0.78in.) thick along the rear edge. However, the ThinkBook 16p Gen 2 only weighs 2kg (4.4lbs), which is pretty good for a laptop of this size – especially as the smart, dark grey aluminium case meets the US military standard MIL-STD-810H for impact and shock resistance....

However, the trade-off is that the tech giant has to know a lot about you. It’s no secret that Google monitors and stores a lot of information about you, such as your location history. It does this for two reasons: service improvement and targeted advertising. In other words, you have to be comfortable with Google knowing where you are if you want it to help without you asking. Google does provide tools and options to turn location tracking off; however, new findings indicate that the company still records your movements even when you tell it not to....

HTC today announced that it will be unveiling its flagship handset for 2016 — the HTC 10 — on April 12. The company will not be holding any physical launch event for the handset. Instead, just like it did for the One A9, the company will be revealing its flagship through an online-only event.

Earlier this month, when Huawei first launched the P9, it made a lot of noise about the handset’s dual-lens camera setup that it “co-engineered” with Leica. The German camera maker name and image quality prowess was continuously touted by Huawei while unveiling the handset. This led many to believe that Huawei had really worked closely with Leica on the camera setup of the P9. As it turns out though, this was nothing more than a marketing gimmick....

This is a huge move considering Hugo Barra will be leading the whole of Oculus team including Palmer Luckey and Brendan Iribe who founded Oculus before it was bought over by Facebook. Brendan is expected to exit soon. Just a couple of days back, Hugo had announced his departure at Xiaomi, while mentioning that he will continue to be in Beijing until February for a smooth transition. Zuckerberg made a nice use of that opportunity: Although Oculus forms a major portion of Facebook’s Virtual Reality presence, it must be noted that Barra will be leading the whole of VR team and not just Oculus....

The last time I was being interviewed for a job was certainly when America was still sane. Yet I never really prepared for particular questions to be asked. I merely feared that the first question would be: “Tell me a little about yourself.” Because that told me the interviewer likely hadn’t read my resumé or, if they had, could not remember anything about it. And didn’t care. Google’s stretching exercise So when I saw that Google had released a new online tool to help you practice for job interviews, my mind was intrigued, and my soul prepared to be saddened....

Whether learning how to file your taxes or drumming up those first few clients, it’s the little organizational hurdles that trip up first-time freelancers....

To give a quick explainer on the process — what we are essentially trying to do with this method is to leverage the potential of Wi-Fi and the built-in share utility found on both Windows and Mac. So, in order for us to be able to share files from Windows to Mac (or vice-versa), the first thing we need to ensure is that both machines are connected to the same Wi-Fi network....

Despite HTC’s earnest efforts, its smartphone business has failed to take off over the last few years. After selling off a part of its smartphone business to Google, HTC has now announced that it will be laying off 1,500 people from its manufacturing unit in Taiwan. A 1,500 job cut translates into almost a quarter of the 6,450 people that HTC employs all over the world. The company is making this move to better manage its resources as its smartphone sales continue to fall and it struggles to turn a profit....
