One of the best parts about the release of the iPhone 6 has been the sheer number of troll articles that have emerged. It turns out Android fans get really mad when you write an article talking about how the iPhone 6 is better than any Android – even if that article is obviously fake. I stumbled across another article today which attempted to troll Android users. And like many other troll articles out there, this one lured in quite a few Android fanboys. That article is titled…
Have you ever felt that you have entered the world in the wrong era? Have you felt that you should have been born when kings reigned kingdoms and damsels were actually in distress? Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be the knight in shining armor, literally and not figuratively? Have you ever felt that swords are mightier than guns or verbal battles (by which I mean having an argument)? Have you always loved gore? If the answer is yes, good for you but all of that is illegal and…
We’ve talked about Android Silver before. Android Silver is the “premium” standard which was rumored to replace the Nexus program. Just like Android One is standardizing Android across low-cost devices, Android Silver aims to do the same for premium Android devices. But Android Silver appears to be “on hold”. According to “The Information”, Google has put the Android Silver program “on ice” due to internal problems. Apparently the program was stalled all summer after…

There are no perfect review websites on the internet. Every review website is hated by somebody, somewhere. No matter how unbiased you try to be, someone will call you biased. No matter how objective you try to be, someone will call you a subjective reviewer with preconceived stereotypes. But some review sites receive more hate than others. And some review sites deserve it. This past week, the Android community is in an uproar against two tech review websites: CNET and The Verge. Both…
If you’ve installed any Android apps lately, then you’ve probably noticed a wave of permission requests appear on-screen. Facebook Messenger became notorious for its permission requests. It requests access to your contacts, SMS, phone, and much more. If you deny those permission requests, then you can’t install Facebook Messenger. Why do Android apps request access to all your personal data? What are they doing with all that data? Why does this new weather app want to text my…
I am not suggesting that we should come under the pressure of sporting the socially acceptable good looks but we do need to take care of our health and fitness. And come on, let us be honest, who does not want a hot body? A lot of us are inspired to have a fit physique internally and some of us are influenced by celebrities. However, unlike celebrities, we cannot afford a dietician, a trainer, our own health smoothie company (I am guessing that that is what these stars do). And most of our…

Wine is what makes that grand crystal chandelier in the middle of the room look beautiful. Wine is luxury at its best. Wine is needed to satiate the hunger for the high life. Wine takes years to become luxurious, both in taste and in expense. Good wine is not found everywhere. A lot of us like wine because…
Internet has proven to be a boon to mankind in unimaginable and countless ways. It has saved up a lot of our money by making us in gain control of every possible situation that we are a part of. You do not know how to cook? Google it. You do not know how to fix a bulb? Google it. You need some new clothes? Google it. The solution to everything has become Google. We are so dependent on the internet that we have stopped realizing that we do not control the internet anymore, it controls us. We…
Apple is the best phone manufacturer in the world and this month, they proved their dominance once again by releasing the iPhone 6. The moment a sharply-dressed Tim Cook stepped up on stage and revealed the iPhone 6, it instantly became the best smartphone in the world. No Android in the world today can compete with the iPhone 6.
