At a product launch event in Brooklyn on Tuesday, Apple at long last overhauled the Macbook Air out of the blue since 2015 and upgraded it totally for 2018. A big deal on the grounds that the Macbook Air, at $999, was Apple"s cheapest laptop. Apple had a $1,299 thin laptop back in 2015. The recently unveiled MacBook Air is a blend of the MacBook Air and the 12-inch MacBook. It"s littler and lighter than Air. The screen is 13.3-creeps of @2x Retina display. It"s not wide array DCI-P3, but rather it is 48% more sRGB than the old Air. Furthermore, truly, obviously, Apple has erased a lot of the bezels. It ships with an 8th generation Intel dual-core CPU with integrated graphics, up to 16GB of RAM, and up to 1.5 terabytes of storage room. It likewise has two USB-C Thunderbolt ports that let you attach it to an outer 5K screen. With respect to security, there’s no Face ID for the Mac yet, however it"s difficult not to imagine that it will be coming soon seeing as Apple&q

Moreover, they communicate with you, accept the information you send them remotely, and carry out your commands.

Some think in terms of security while others are thinking about how much time they could be saving. There is truly something out there that would motivate all of us when it comes to home automation.

While the skill of designing an e-commerce website may seem easy from the outside, in principle, keep in mind that it’s easy for things to spiral out of hand when tended to by a layman. A flaw in design can diminish the appeal of even the greatest product out there. To make the matters worse, you’ll take one of these bad or inefficient trends as a core idea and later make any correction pricy and difficult. This means that you’ll have to change your approach altogether. With that in mind and without further ado, here are seven design mistakes that will lead to a disaster. Delaying for too long One rule of launching a product that may sound counter-intuitive is the fact that if you’re not disappointed by the first version, you’ve probably released it too late. Think about it this way, early on, you’ll struggle to make any profit, anyhow, so, why not start on time. A similar thing goes for websites, as well. On the other hand, there are so many unfinished websites out there that have per

In an effort to push positivity and cut down on hateful conversations on its platform. Twitter is testing a number of new features and is already working on a new design for replies within the app, introducing a threaded UI. The company first showed off the feature a few weeks ago, and has refined the design to welcome more conversations. Sara Haider, director of product management at Twitter, and Mike Kruzeniski, senior director of product design, discussed the new features this week at an event hosted by Fast Company in New York City. “We want the best conversation for you coming to you as quickly as possible,” Kruzeniski said at the event. “Can you tell us what you’re interested in? And [can] we quickly get you to that conversation?” More importantly, Twitter is working on a new “status” feature. Soon, users will be able to set their availability — essentially showing if you are online or offline. Once you set your availability, you can set a status — and that could be a bunch of t

Google has updated the desktop version of its popular Chrome browser with a feature that may make the software even more attractive to users out there. Chrome as you already know, is the world’s most used browser, and a picture-in-picture feature may just have affirmed that even further. According to Android Police , the Picture-in-picture mode is finally coming to Google Chrome 70 on Mac, Linux, and Windows. Although this function could have been activated manually in Chrome 69 Beta , in the new version of the renowned Google Internet browser, the feature is on by default. As mentioned, the first time the picture-in-picture function appeared in Chrome was in the Chrome 69 Beta version. Back then, the service was just manual, users activating and deactivating it at will. Now, with the Google Chrome’s latest release, Chrome 70, the PiP feature is on by default. “In September 2016, Safari added Picture-in-Picture support through a WebKit API in macOS Sierra. Six months later, Chrome auto

Drones, also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), are aircrafts that are not operated by a human pilot who is aboard. They are one of the components in Unnamed Aircraft System (UAS). UAS includes a controller on the ground, the drone and a system of communication between the two. Due to expansion of the range of uses of drones, the drone industry has been growing at an extremely fast rate. Drones are employed for variety of reasons.

Facebook wants to push even further into your home—the social media company is building a TV set-top box with a built-in camera, according to a new report in Cheddar . The device, code-named Ripley, is reportedly based on some of the same technology as Facebook’s recently unveiled Portal smart display—and it will be optimised for Facebook"s burgeoning TV platform, Watch. The set-top box would let you stream Watch shows to your television, though it"s not clear if it would support content from other platforms. If Facebook is making a play for the TV, it’ll need to shore up its support for apps. As it stands, The Portal supports Facebook Watch and music through Spotify and Pandora. That’s fine for a smart display, but it’s nowhere near the kind of content support Facebook will need to convince users to give up an HDMI port, especially when so many other options are out there. In addition to streaming, the box would also be equipped with a camera similar to Facebook"s rece

If you work with video at all, you probably know all about Adobe Premiere Pro. Along with Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro is one of the biggest and best video editing tools available—Today, Adobe is launching a new version of Premiere Pro called Adobe Premiere Rush, which is focused on YouTubers and other web content creators. Premiere Rush is Adobe’s first all-in-one, cross-device online video editing app. Designed with social media users in mind, Rush syncs to the cloud and works seamlessly between devices. Rush uses the power of Adobe’s tools from programs like Premiere Pro and Audition so you can capture video, colour-correct, edit, record and clean up audio, customise animated titles, and publish to social media. Uploading video to a multitude of platforms in different sizes and orientations can be time consuming for creators. Adobe added in their press release: “We’ve heard how time-consuming it is to create versions of your videos that meet the requirements of the different social

If you are actively looking for someone to share quality time with, then you should get your dating practices down. And nothing helps than making a smashing impression on the first date. Meeting someone for the first time can often be a little awkward and even unexciting, if not planned properly. There can be various reasons like too much pressure on both parties, mismatched personalities or a boring setup - all of which can crush your ongoing pursuit of love. You see, not many people know what to do on a first date. It is important to know where to go, what to say, how to act and most importantly, how to take things forward and set up a second date. In an increasingly tech-driven world, it makes sense to use your smartphone to make you a first date expert and give you the charm of Don Juan so you can sweep her, him, or whomever right off their feet. Simply download a few apps and push the right buttons to help turn your dreams into reality. From planning a romantic evening to hitchin

How many characters is an emoji? It seems like a simple question, but on Twitter the answer has not always been clear. Some emojis count as a single character while others eat further into the character count. But now this is changing — Twitter has announced that all emojis will now be treated equally. Previously, emoji that could be modified in various ways — such as changing the skin tone of people — would use up large numbers of characters. No more! Twitter made the announcement about the change in a post to its developer forums : Due to the differences in the way written text and emojis are encoded, many emojis (including emojis where you can apply gender and skin tone) have counted as more characters than other emojis, limiting the room for people to express themselves in other ways. There was also a difference in character counts amongst emojis, adding to the confusion. Moving forward, in support of recent updates to Unicode, Twitter will now count all emojis equally, including t

Instagram is testing a new method of navigating posts – just by tapping through them, rather than scrolling. First spotted by an Instagram user Suprateek Bose recently published a screenshot of a feature Instagram is testing in the app that allows you to “tap through posts, just like you tap through stories.” The feature, which is apparently only available to a small number of users, would effectively replace the scrolling feature that lets you see posts. [xyz-ihs snippet="IG-tap"] The tap-to-advance feature was first introduced by Snapchat, reducing the user-effort of repeatedly using thumb strokes, thus creating a more relaxing browsing experience. The new change indicates that instead of using your finger to scroll up and down through the Instagram posts, you would now tap on either side of the interface to move forward and back. It’s a navigation method that was first implemented by Snapchat, a platform that rivals Instagram. This test of Now Tap Through Posts  instead o

Starting this week, the Google Translate app will be capable of visually translating 13 new languages by using the camera on your smartphone.
