Xiaomi Mi MIX Nano With 5.5-Inch Display Images and Specifications Leaked

Xiaomi Mi MIX Nano With 5.5-Inch Display Images and Specifications Leaked



HIGHLIGHTS
Xiaomi Mi MIX Nano said to feature 5.5-inch display
It is likely to come with 90 percent screen-to-body ratio
Mi MIX Nano tipped to pack Snapdragon 821 SoC


Xiaomi launched its Mi MIX smartphone with near bezel-less display and touting a 91.3 percent screen-to-body ratio last month. If a new leak is to be believed then the Chinese company may launch another variant of the smartphone soon.
(Also see: Xiaomi Mi Note 2, Mi MIX Smartphones Aren't Coming to India in the Near Future)
A Chinese phone tipster has claimed that Xiaomi's Mi MIX Nano sporting a 5.5-inch screen will launch soon. Sharing an image on Weibo, the tipster also claimed some innards of the unannounced handset including 90 percent screen-to-body ratio, which will be slightly less than the Mi MIX. It is said to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor and run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The handset will come with 4GB of RAM and will pack 64GB of storage. The tipster also claimed a pricing of CNY 3,000 (approximately Rs. 30,000). The tipster also shared a blurry image of the alleged Mi MIX Nano smartphone taken in dark condition. Unfortunately, not much could be deciphered on the design front.


Of course, as with all rumours and leaks, we advise readers to take the above information about the Xiaomi Mi MIX Nano with a pinch of salt, as Xiaomi has yet to make any announcement about its new smartphone and the credibility of the source cannot be independently verified.

Coming to the Mi MIX smartphone which was launched last month, the biggest highlight of the Xiaomi Mi MIX is its display with curved edges on top. It features a 6.4-inch display that comes with a 17:9 aspect, and screen resolution of 1080x2040 pixels, and a pixel density of 362ppi. The smartphone is powered by a 2.35GHz quad-core Snapdragon 821 SoC, coupled with 4GB/ 6GB of LPDDR4 RAM. Xiaomi has included a 16-megapixel rear camera with PDAF, an f/2.0 aperture, and dual-tone LED flash. It bears a 5-megapixel front camera. Unfortunately, the Chinese company has already revealed that it has no plans to launch the Mi MIX in India.

Trump towers

Trump towers


Many Republicans publicly denounced him. Then, scandal after scandal was aired in public. But the public loved Donald Trump, and they preferred his plain speak to Hillary Clinton’s years in government

Around two years ago, before this presidential race started, President Barack Obama had said that it would be difficult for Democrats to have another term after him. People may want a new car smell, he put it.

But, he put in all his might in rallying for his former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, even roping in his ace card—wife Michelle. In the last days of the race, Obama worked almost full-time in the campaign, personally naming and shaming Donald Trump. But, he could not undo his prophecy.

Ronald Reagan is the only US president in the last century to have handed over the White House to a fellow party man, George H.W. Bush, after two consecutive terms.

The man who promised to ‘Make America Great Again’ has become president-elect. Trump made his victory speech in the wee hours of November 9, promising to be president of everyone in the US. After the polarisation of the last two years, this was welcome talk.

Election night turned out to be a thriller, and Manhattan’s midtown was electric. Perhaps, for the first time in anyone’s memory, the same city hosted the celebration and wake parties. Giant screens at Times Square relayed television coverage for throngs who sat sipping latte, their necks craned up. A half moon shone in the sky, symbolic of the divisions below.

The unseasonably warm autumn evening began with Trump showing a lead in the first state. Many dismissed it as a lead. It would turn, they said. Then, more numbers trickled in. Again, the disbelievers said these were just leads. But, as early as 8:30pm, the writing was clear. Close to 10pm, the lead became too wide. Clinton was down at 186, while Trump was at 212. Then, fresh numbers came in. Clinton moved to 202, and a hysterical crowd cheered. “She has to win,” screamed a young girl, even as an argument broke out between a Trump and a Clinton supporter. The NYPD was out in full strength, and a “Sir, please,” from a woman cop was enough to quell the querulous man.

A short walk away, at the Fox TV HQ, Trump supporters were jubilant. A little band of Clinton-supporting students from Columbia University periodically marched past, drowning the cheers for Trump. But, the cheers were loudest at the New York Hilton Midtown, the swanky hotel where the victory party was on.

A well-heeled Mona Gampetta, who works in publishing, said, “We want a woman president, we are ready for her. But Hillary is not the woman we want to make history with.” Donna Cansassi, a paralegal, said, “Read the Bible. Sinners like Samson became great men. Don’t hold Trump’s mistakes against him. He will be great. He will make the country great.” This reminded me of a Republican debate watch party in Las Vegas three weeks earlier, where a female paramedic said Trump was the warrior the Bible had promised.

Across the square, on the banks of the Hudson, the Clinton party was organised at the massive Jacob K. Javits Convention Centre. Unlike the easy accessibility of the Trump party, this venue was cordoned off blocks ahead and had greater security, police and private. By 9pm, however, the bleakness was palpable here. So, where did the political pundits and pollsters go wrong?

Indeed, at a press briefing on the day of the polling, an illustrious panel of experts spoke about the challenges Clinton would face at home and overseas, and her expected plans to deal with them. When we asked what Trump would do, they dismissed it as merely a theoretical question.


Had anyone bothered to analyse the star-spangled boost to Clinton’s campaign in the last ten days, the desperation would have been obvious. Her rallies had everyone from Beyonce and Jay Z to Bon Jovi and Jennifer Lopez to political heavyweights Obama, Bill Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Trump even commented that he did not need them; he was enough for his own campaigning.

Ten days ahead of election day, the writing became clear when polls showed Trump leading Clinton in Florida, the crucial battleground. The Democratic spin dismissed it and said Trump could win Florida and still lose, as the other swing states were with her. But, Camp Clinton almost set up base in Florida after that.

At an early voter centre in Miami, the anti-Clinton feeling came to the surface. The Cuban diaspora, for instance, staunchly Republican, was in no mood to think otherwise. Helen Martinez from Nicaragua was an ordinary Democrat voter, but she said, “This state will go to Trump.”

John Tuman, professor and chair of the department of political science, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, said that while Latino mobilisation worked in Nevada at both presidential and senate level (the state just elected America’s first Latina Senator Catherine Cortez Masto), the efforts were not enough to compensate for Trump’s capacity to mobilise other communities in Florida.

There was a spontaneity about Trump rallies, which were missing in the Clinton galas. And, that struck a chord with many voters. Insiders say that everything that a Clinton supporter would say was first vetted by the team. And, Clinton’s remarks were calibrated. An expert group worked on everything, right from the setting of her hair.

Trump, in most cases, spoke his mind, though there were advisers, mainly Rudy Giuliani, former New York mayor, and the master manager of the campaign, son-in-law Jared Kushner. But, his recent speech—when he said, “Donald calm down, keep your head down….” alluding to his own habit of deviating from the script—was a hit, even as he said Hillary had got “unhinged”.

Another small clue, largely unreported, was the return of critics to the Republican fold. South Carolina governor Nikki Haley came back, so did Senator John Thune from South Dakota (who once wanted Trump to step down for Mike Pence) and also Congressman Jason Chaffetz from Utah. This got obscured in the tom-toming of Republicans who said they were not with him.

In the flurry of sex-and-lies revelations that have dominated the campaign, a supposedly prude America thought of sex as the lesser evil. Trump survived the revelation of tapes where he crudely boasted a sexual prowess over women who had let him get away as he was a celebrity.

For Clinton, the email server scam was her undoing. Especially the FBI’s eleventh hour revelation of re-looking at the case, after it appeared that her official mails were found on the laptop her close aide Huma Abedin’s husband used for sexting a teenager. The FBI gave Clinton a clean chit, but the damage was done. She had compromised state secrets.

“For those looking to rationalise what happened, we say the Democrats failed to see what America really wanted,” said A.D. Amar of Indian-Americans for Trump. “More than anything else, he built the capability to deliver his vision by not taking money from special interest groups.”

Sumit Ganguly, political science professor and Tagore chair at Indiana University, Bloomington, said, “I see the mandate as a culmination of three factors. There was the white hostility to eight years of African-American Obama rule. It was an anti-Hillary vote. It is also part of the global trend towards populism, when bizarre claims by authoritarian leaders woo people. What does Making America Great Again mean?”

Democrat voter Shalini Das, undecided till the last moment, reluctantly voted Clinton. “The party is to blame for the defeat. Bernie Sanders would have been a stronger candidate,” she said. Millennials, Sanders’s base, could not be converted 


Atlanta-based author and IT consultant Pawan Kumar said the discontent with the establishment overwhelmed everything else. “The third party candidate got 5 per cent vote,” he pointed out. “That is generally a reflection of discontent with the incumbent party.”

It was a happy election for the Indian diaspora. Five Indian Americans have won the Senate and Congress elections, a first ever for the diaspora. And, two are women. Kamala Harris from California became the first woman of Indian origin to enter Senate. Pramila Jayapal, a Malayali from Seattle, entered Congress, along with Ami Bera from Sacramento, Ro Khanna from Silicon Valley and Raja Krishnamoorthi from Illinois. Peter Jacob, Kerala-origin candidate from New Jersey, lost the race to Congress.

Now that the people have decided, the government has to figure out how to deal with the challenges. Trump inherits a polarised country. Luckily, his party has retained the Congress and Senate, the latter was a challenge.

Seasoned Republicans were against Trump from the beginning. They could not deal with a johnny-come-lately blazing into the presidential race. They hoped he would fizzle out. They hoped establishment candidates like Jeb Bush would reach the top. Trump was largely fighting alone, compared with Hillary, who had the support of the Democratic party and her own huge team.

Having registered for media updates from both parties, my inbox was inundated with mail and promos from the Democrats. The Republican National Committee barely sent a couple of mails for Trump. Most of his publicity material came from son Eric.

Trump also handled his own Twitter account.

Getting access to Clinton meant working one’s way thorough walls of officialdom; Trump decided whom to meet and when. Trump answered questions spontaneously, even when they were unfair. Nobody asked Clinton how she would face defeat, but he was goaded to answer. At the final debate, when Clinton spoke about her plans, all he said was: “You had 30 years. Why didn’t you do it? You just talk. You have experience over me. But, Bernie is right, you have wrong experience.”

Trump also made people laugh with him. When his wife was panned for her plagiarised speech, he joked that when Michelle makes a speech, people applaud, but when Melania makes the same speech, they jeer.

Several Americans will have to eat crow now. Obama had to invite Trump to the White House, days after he and his wife viciously attacked him and said they feared for the future of their daughters. Many celebrities said they would migrate if Trump won. The Canadian immigration website reportedly crashed after the results came out.

Those who ridiculed Melania Trump for her plagiarised speech, her immigrant status and for being the trophy wife of a man her father’s age, now have her as First Lady.

But, in many ways it will be business as usual. As David Denoon, professor of politics and economics at New York University and director of The NYU Center for US-China Relations, said, “China dreaded Clinton becoming president as she was critical of them as secretary of state.” Trump’s biggest foreign policy challenge will not be ‘The Wall’ or Russia, but China, the only country which can today challenge the US economically. US trade deficit with China is humungous, said Denoon.

Russia, meanwhile, was among the first to congratulate Trump; President Vladimir Putin expressed hope of repairing severely damaged ties. Russians were accused of launching cyber attacks against Clinton during this election.

Meanwhile, there is one less headache for the protocol department. They have time to define the role of the first gentleman in the White House. Melania has less time to get her inaugural dress ready. After all, it will soon hang near Michelle’s at the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington, DC.

Most bodies beyond recognition, says NDRF

Most of those killed in the train disaster near Kanpur early on Sunday have been crushed and "are beyond recognition", the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) said.
NDRF spokesperson Krishna Kumar told IANS: "Most of the bodies which have been taken out from the coaches of the Patna-Indore Express are beyond recognition as they are badly crushed.
"The five NDRF teams deployed in the rescue operations have so far rescued 53 passengers out of which 16 are critically injured," Kumar added.
NDRF rescuers used state of art technology to cut through the coaches and bring out the passengers trapped inside, he said.

Zuckerberg: Facebook will develop tools to fight fake news

Zuckerberg: Facebook will develop tools to fight fake news


            Mark Zuckerberg has outlined a series of measures that should help prevent fake news from being shared on Facebook.
The planned controls, which were announced in a late night Facebook post, follow accusations that a flood of fake news stories influenced the U.S. presidential election.
"The bottom line is: we take misinformation seriously," wrote Zuckerberg. "We take this responsibility seriously. We've made significant progress, but there is more work to be done."
The CEO said that Facebook (FB, Tech30) is working to develop stronger fake news detection, a warning system, easier reporting and technical ways to classify misinformation. Facebook has also been in contact with fact checking organizations.
For Zuckerberg, it's a sharp reversal in tone from comments made in the immediate aftermath of the election.
"I think the idea that fake news on Facebook -- of which it's a small amount of content -- influenced the election in any way is a pretty crazy idea," he said last week.
Related: Facebook is well aware that it can influence elections
Zuckerberg has come under pressure to do more to fight the fake news scourge. Some former employees said the CEO's public comments even contradicts Facebook's pitch to advertisers.
The site's core business is built on the premise that advertisers can use Facebook's targeting tools to show the right users the right message at the right time leading to the right outcome. If it works for advertisers, shouldn't it also work for political campaigns?
Zuckerberg's latest post makes clear that Facebook does not want to play the role of an editor.
"The problems here are complex, both technically and philosophically," he said. "We do not want to be arbiters of truth ourselves, but instead rely on our community and trusted third parties."
Related: Did the internet elect the president?
Zuckerberg did not say how quickly the measures would be in place. But they should make it much easier for users to flag misleading content -- similar to the way cyberbullying can be reported with a single click on some social media.
The social media giant is also working to undermine the business model used by fake news publishers.
Facebook said earlier this week that it would not place ads from fake news publishers on third party apps or websites, because the content falls under the broader category of "illegal, misleading or deceptive" content. Google (GOOG) has taken similar steps.
"Some of these ideas will work well, and some will not," Zuckerberg admitted. "We understand how important the issue is for our community and we are committed to getting this right."

Experts says: India may go cashless soon, After demonetisation of Rs. 500 and 1000 NotesExperts says: India may go cashless soon, After demonetisation of Rs. 500 and 1000 Notes

Experts says: India may go cashless soon, After demonetisation of Rs. 500 and 1000 Notes





Experts says: India may go cashless soon, After demonetisation of Rs. 500 and 1000 Notes : The brain behind the demonetisation scheme is “Arthakranti Pratishthan” – a think-tank. In an interview to Asian Age, a senior member of think tank – Amod Phalke said that the demonetisation move has made the way for introduction of a Banking Transaction Tax (BTT). As per the think tank, BTT will lead to the abolition of all taxes in India such as VAT, excise duty, Income tax, and GST also.



 Another senior member of the think-tank – Anil Bokil said that Prime Minister is an institution. He is not a person. He is so busy that he has no time to even meet his family members. So, PM and we were engaged in discussions at the institutional level and not at family level.
Phalke, tell about the BTT, said that people would have to pay 1-2 per cent tax on the amount credited or deposited in their bank accounts. This deducted amount will be distributed among Central, state and local bodies. BTT will raise 21 lakh crore taxes which is equivalent to all the taxes raised by the Centre and states together.

Phalke said that if you will see any other country’s economy like the US, people do not keep huge cash with them. But it is vice versa in India, due to high denomination notes people have been out of the financial inclusion.

He said that in its new plan, government did not want people to be penalised even for depositing 100 crore in banks.  The taxation system was defective. So these people should not be penalised for depositing huge sums of money. The government may take 10 per cent as tax and pay back the rest in 15 years as bonds or something similar.

Phalke further said that it was only a matter of time for their other related proposals to be implemented. It will be implemented either in 2017-2018 or 2019. People have realised the power of our plan.

Scientists discover

Scientists discover antibody that kills 98 percent of HIV strains



                                                            HIV-infected H9 T Cell.


Considered a death sentence, HIV could someday be about as threatening as a common cold.
Being diagnosed with HIV or Human immunodeficiency virus is considered a death sentence by many. Once contracted, the virus breaks down a patient's immune system leaving them vulnerable to pretty much any disease. The condition worsens over time and leads to the inevitable diagnosis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). To date there is no known cure to the proliferation of this virus in the host, making it very challenging to treat.
There may be a break though -- researchers from NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) are convinced that they have developed an antibody to combat this incurable virus. The antibody named N6, is reportedly capable of nullifying 98 percent of the known HIV strains, of which 16 of 20 strains were noted to be resistant to other forms of antibodies in the same category as N6.
Antibodies are produced naturally in our body mainly by plasma cells. It is then used by our immunity system to fight pathogens such as the common cold virus. The human immunodeficiency virus latches on to health immunity cells (white blood corpuscles,) causing them to decompose and perish. This leads patients to experience extreme weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, muscle aches/joint pain, skin rash and much more. The N6 antibody prevents this from happening by enveloping specific areas of the virus and neutralises its ability to further affect immunity cells.
This is not the first attempt at creating an antibody to fight HIV. Previously, researchers developed the VRC01 antibody that nullified about 90 percent of the HIV strain. Apart from better results, the N6 antibody can be administered into fat while an infusion of the VRC01 antibody has to be injected directly into a vein.
Scientists hope that the N6 antibody, coupled with other antibodies and existing forms of treatment could one day lead to a definitive cure to the HIV scourge.

PAYTM

Good News For Paytm Users! Transfer Cash To Your Bank Account at 0% Interest Until December




During the current demonetization situation, has been our constant support. Be it bank transfer, recharging numbers, buying anything, getting the best deals or shopping, Paytm has made life easy amidst the long queues at the banks and with very limited or no money in hand.
Soon after the ban was imposed on Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 notes, Paytm announced to charge only 1% as the transaction fee whilst making a bank transfer via the app.
However, to make things easy and convenient and mitigate the pressure, Paytm has now unveiled a new plan to charge no fee for any bank transfer, be it the same or different bank accounts.


Earlier Paytm Bank Transfer Fee Was 1%
Paytm right after demonetization unveiled that they will allow users to transfer funds from their Paytm wallet to a bank account at as low as with 1% processing fee. Whereas, MobiKwik and Freecharge were letting users transfer money to the bank for free.
Paytm Now Charges 0% Processing Fee
The app recently announced to compete with other similar apps that it will allow all the Paytm users to transfer funds to banks with 0% interest until 31st of December. However, the company has not revealed its plan on the same after December.
Similar Move Like Other Competitors
Yes, there is no doubt that Paytm has taken this initiative in order to compete with the other competitors including MobiKwik and Freecharge, who are also charging 0% processing fees in bank transfer of cash.

LeEco promises to offer unmatched smartphone experience in the sub-15k category

India is now the second largest smartphone market in terms of active unique smartphone users.
The sub-15k category is where most smartphone manufacturers see growth coming from, evident from the plethora of devices in the market in this price range, all equipped with superlative features.


As the smartphone market continues to maintain its growth trajectory in India, competition on-ground is also heating up fiercely as new products make their way into the market.
Given this, it isn’t surprising to note that India is now the second largest smartphone market in terms of active unique smartphone users, with the total base crossing 220 million as per a new report from Counterpoint Research.
The sub-15k category is where most smartphone manufacturers see growth coming from, evident from the plethora of devices in the market in this price range, all equipped with superlative features.
While this indicates the immense potential for the ever-growing smartphones market, it also means users now have become more discerning and choosy. From a consumer standpoint, devices that make their smartphone experience unique and possibly future-proof, are more important than a vanilla a comparison of features.

Reliance Jio's latest...Smartphones at Rs 1,000 with unlimited voice, video calls

Reliance Jio's latest...Smartphones at Rs 1,000 with unlimited voice, video calls


  New Delhi:There is good news coming your way. Reliance Jio is planning to launch 4G capable smart devices at a price of Rs 1,000. These will be packed with digital content, and guess what- with unlimited voice and video calls.
Reliance is currently working on two devices that will cost Rs 1, 000 and Rs 1,500 each. These feature phones will be just like smartphones, just that there will be no touchscreen. However, they features in the new devices include use of data to access net


Currently, the cheapest smartphone costs about Rs 3,000.
The new devices are likely to be sold under the brand of Reliance and Lava.
The new feature phones will be based on LTE (VoLTE) technology. This because company hopes to tap the huge potential in the rural areas, where phones are still used to make calls.

64 BIT


64-Bit Computing Allows for More RAM

In 1986, Intel introduced its first 32-bit CPU. It wasn't until 1993 that the first fully 32-bit Windows OS--Windows NT 3.1--followed, officially ending the 16-bit era. Now 64-bit processors have become the norm in desktops and notebooks, though Microsoft still won't commit to an all-64-bit Windows. But it can't live in the 32-bit world forever.

What is it? 64-bit versions of Windows have been around since Windows XP, and 64-bit CPUs have been with us even longer. In fact, virtually every computer sold today has a 64-bit processor under the hood. At some point Microsoft will have to jettison 32-bit altogether, as it did with 16-bit when it launched Windows NT, if it wants to induce consumers (and third-party hardware and software developers) to upgrade. That isn't likely with Windows 7: The upcoming OS is already being demoed in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. But limitations in 32-bit's addressing structure will eventually force everyone's hand; it's already a problem for 32-bit Vista users, who have found that the OS won't access more than about 3GB of RAM because it simply doesn't have the bits to access additional memory.

When is it coming? Expect to see the shift toward 64-bit accelerate with Windows 7; Microsoft will likely switch over to 64-bit exclusively with Windows 8. That'll be 2013 at the earliest. Meanwhile, Mac OS X Leopard is already 64-bit, and some hardware manufacturers are currently trying to transition customers to 64-bit versions of Windows (Samsung says it will push its entire PC line to 64-bit in early 2009). And what about 128-bit computing, which would represent the next big jump? Let's tackle one sea change at a time--and prepare for that move around 2025.


USB SPEEDS 3.0


USB 3.0 Speeds Up Performance on External Devices

The USB connector has been one of the greatest success stories in the history of computing, with more than 2 billion USB-connected devices sold to date. But in an age of terabyte hard drives, the once-cool throughput of 480 megabits per second that a USB 2.0 device can realistically provide just doesn't cut it any longer.

What is it? USB 3.0 (aka "SuperSpeed USB") promises to increase performance by a factor of 10, pushing the theoretical maximum throughput of the connector all the way up to 4.8 gigabits per second, or processing roughly the equivalent of an entire CD-R disc every second. USB 3.0 devices will use a slightly different connector, but USB 3.0 ports are expected to be backward-compatible with current USB plugs, and vice versa. USB 3.0 should also greatly enhance the power efficiency of USB devices, while increasing the juice (nearly one full amp, up from 0.1 amps) available to them. That means faster charging times for your iPod--and probably even more bizarre USB-connected gear like the toy rocket launchers and beverage coolers that have been festooning people's desks.

When is it coming? The USB 3.0 spec is nearly finished, with consumer gear now predicted to come in 2010. Meanwhile, a host of competing high-speed plugs--DisplayPort, eSATA, and HDMI--will soon become commonplace on PCs, driven largely by the onset of high-def video. Even FireWire is looking at an imminent upgrade of up to 3.2 gbps performance. The port proliferation may make for a baffling landscape on the back of a new PC, but you will at least have plenty of high-performance options for hooking up peripherals.

MEMRISTOR




MEMRISTOR:




The Next Big thing? The memristor, a microscopic component that can "remember" electrical states even when turned off. It's expected to be far cheaper and faster than flash storage. A theoretical concept since 1971, it has now been built in labs and is already starting to revolutionize everything we know about computing, possibly making flash memory, RAM, and even hard drives obsolete within a decade.
The memristor is just one of the incredible technological advances sending shock waves through the world of computing. Other innovations in the works are more down-to-earth, but they also carry watershed significance. From the technologies that finally make paperless offices a reality to those that deliver wireless power, these advances should make your humble PC a far different beast come the turn of the decade.

In the following sections, we outline the basics of 15 upcoming technologies, with predictions on what may come of them. Some are breathing down our necks; some advances are still just out of reach. And all have to be reckoned with.
