The PS5 is slated to launch towards the end of 2020 and Sony has done a decent job of surprising fans with information about the console.

For those that consume content at a fast speed on YouTube will be familiar with these playback options.

The options on YouTube to control playback speed are more than what Netflix is offering. If you are binge-watching a show, there are times when you want to watch a certain section faster just to run through it without actually skipping 10 seconds ahead in case you miss...

Apple iPhone 12 launch is likely delayed until October as hinted by Qualcomm in its earning reports for the third quarter.

PUBG Mobile recently updated its Privacy Policy specifically for India and Indian users. While it has not been explicitly stated, it is quite possible that the change in policy is to help avoid a ban in the country. The past month saw the Indian Government take a stand against Chinese apps like TikTok and ShareIt by banning 59 of them. However, one notable exception in that list was PUBG Mobile as popular battle royale game somehow managed to fly under the radar.

After five long years, Sony has finally announced the much anticipated A7S III. The A7S series is the company's premium full-frame camera. The first A7S camera was introduced back in 2014, followed by the much loved A7S II in 2015. The S in the name stands for sensitivity, which ensures excellent dynamic range, low-light and video recording capabilities, precisely what still attracts the masses towards its predecessors. The Sony A7S III features a new 12MP backside-illuminated EXMOR R CMOS full-frame sensor. It's the combination of a relatively low-resolution sensor and a large sensor size what makes it capable of good low light performance. It also has a BIONZ XR image processor with eight times more processing power compared tot he A7S II. The camera has an ISO range of 40-409,600. Sony also claims 15+ stops of dynamic range and 3x reduction in rolling shutter. The camera is capable of shooting 10fps in burst mode, but because of its large buffer, you can click up to 1000 c...

As the future creeps up on all of us, technology shows no signs of slowing down. As chips get smaller and storage becomes even larger, CEO and founder of Nimbus Data, Thomas Izakovich has just revealed that the company is working on Solid State Drives that can store 400TB of data. In an exclusive interview with TechRadar, Izakovich said, “we can do 200TB in 2021 and likely 400TB by 2023.”. So, why is it that a drive that is 400TB in size is so important. Well, for one, a drive with a native capacity of 400TB could potentially equal 1PB in tape capacity. This particular drive could be very expensive but it will also be much smaller and faster than most SSDs out there.  We could see the first 1PB Solid State Drive in 2023 The company is also responsible for the world's largest Solid State Drive in the 100TB ExaDrive DC, which costs a whopping $40,000 (Rs. 29,87,900 approx directly converted). Is 100TB really worth that kind of money though? With the world moving forward at a breakn...

Short video making app TikTok has become the most controversial applications of all time. Adding to its unending spree of controversies, now, a group of Japan lawmakers have their eyes on TikTok and other apps developed by Chinese firms.
