<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Prime Minister Modi inaugurated the Make In India campaign on September 25, 2014, and since then, it has been a cardinal move towards India Inc’s dream to be a manufacturing hub. Many MNCs around the world have consolidated the roots of Make In India campaign.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">OnePlus, with a goal to expand its business in, what is called the largest potential market for electronics sector, has planned to start the production of its devices in India, under the guidance of Make In India campaign, which will facilitate quick and successful production for OnePlus devices.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Foxconn has partnered with OnePlus to facilitate the assembling of new devices at their proposed Rising Star manufacturing facility in Sri City: Integrated Business City, Andhra Pradesh. The partnership was announced by CEO Pete Lau in Bengaluru.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">OnePlus’s decision to assemble devices locally is in accordance to the fact, elevating custom duty on fully assembled devices will reduce their production costs, will demonstrate a decision of Best of Both Worlds. Devices will become cheaper benefiting both the customer and the company. Moreover, the company has not been able to meet the stock demands which motivated them to assemble the devices locally.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The 30,000 sq. ft. facility will have the production cap limit of 500,000 units per month and a full-time workforce of around 1000 workers will be responsible for keeping the stock ample.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">OnePlus’s journey in India has been quite amazing so far. They’ve sold around 250,000 units of their very first debutante One Plus One. CEO Pete Lou was quite happy with One Plus Two’s performance in the flash sale. 15,000 units of the device were bought by the customers in just 12 minutes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">OnePlus has plans to initiate the production process somewhere around December this year. Furthermore, we already know that Asus, Xiaomi and Gionee have already partnered with Foxconn for the production of their devices locally in the Rising Star facility. It will be quite riveting to acknowledge the true conqueror in this Game Of Thrones.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Windows 95 was the first operating system for many people and it changed the people’s perception of personal computing. Back then, the OS ran of chunky desktop PCs and people were loving the newly introduced Start Menu. Same kind of love was received by Windows XP and it still powers millions of PCs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, the Start Menu is once again back with Windows 10 and people are loving this addition. Yesterday, I was killing some time on YouTube and I came across this amazing hack, that allowed a programmer to install Windows 95 and other famous software and games on his smartwatch.</span></div>

Pepsi Launching Its First Android Phone. Are You Going to Buy It?

Shivam Patsariya 0 Android 11:05 AM

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><img alt="Pepsi-phone-android" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/pepsi.jpg" /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>SP's: </b>PepsiCo, one of the world’s largest companies, is rumored to launch its own smartphone called Pepsi P1. Read more to know everything.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There isn’t any typo in the article title. And I’m also not talking about some Chinese electronics company named after your favorite beverage brand Pepsi.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">According to the reports, one of the world’s large companies, Pepsi, is planning to launch it’s first ever smartphone. This is a whole new area for Pepsi, but according to an official Pepsi account spotted on Weibo (also called the Chinese Twitter), an unannounced Pepsi P1 smartphone is in the making.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It won’t be wrong to expect that Pepsi will be contacting any one of the Asian phone manufacturers, who would happily make phones on behalf of PepsiCo. The leaks look original as the Pepsi Phone Weibo account was linked to the official Pepsi China Weibo account.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Pepsi-phone-android" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Pepsi-phone-android.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We’re talking about a Chinese smartphone, so it’s hard to tell if it’s something real or just another gimmick. Talking about the price, the Pepsi P1 is priced at $205 in China and it could cost higher in the other countries.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Imagining a phone from Pepsi in US and Europe could be a little difficult. But, the Chinese and Japanese markets are more open to such improvisations.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyway, let’s see what Pepsi P1 could offer us. The smartphone is running on the Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system and it comes with a full HD 5.5-inch IPS LCD capacitive display.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Pepsi phone is powered by a 1.7GHz octa-core MediakTek processor and 2GB of RAM. The phone  is rumored to come with 16GB internal memory.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There is no dearth of malware that are designed to serve unwanted ads in your mobile phone and steal your user information. Some of them just stick to severing tons of ads and don’t cause any harm. The security firm <a href="https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2015/10/kemoge_another_mobi.html">FireEye </a>has reported a malware that belongs to the other class.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The malicious adware, dubbed Kemoge, can do some serious damage to your Android phones. Apart from serving the intrusive ads, Kemoge has the ability to root your devices and make them more vulnerable to attacks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Just like every other malware and adware, Kemoge spreads by hiding itself under the hood of some popular app. Then via the route of 3rd-party app stores, it reaches the smartphones of users and starts causing the harm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>SP's: </b>Disney has developed a colouring book app that would turn the coloured 2D character into a 3D augmented reality object on screen.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>                Who says technology can’t be fun! And when the favourite cartoon character of your child or little sibling comes out from his sketch book, you seem to realise how much the technology has actually advanced. Augmented Reality has a kickass future and Disney has now given a glimpse of the coming days.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Disney’s tech team has created an interactive Android and iOS colouring book app that would turn the coloured character into a live 3D animated character much like the child’s imagination, but of course, into an augmented reality object on screen. It is a new Disney Research project that aims to bring back the lost excitement in children towards the colouring books.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>              Now, converting a 2D picture into a 3D reality is tricky as most of the drawings have only a portion of the character (front or side view). Disney’s colouring book app overcomes the challenge by copying the pixels from the drawing and making a guess for the remaining part keeping its texture same as the original. The texture of the 3D model is automatically synthesised in real-time based on the drawing.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>            Disney conducted a web-based user based study with 314 participants for their colouring book app validation and was really happy with the responses. In the final assessment, a majority of the participants told that this creativity motivates them to draw, improve their sense of connection with the character and would definitely use the app at home.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You would be surprised to know that for one month only, there are 4 billion hours of videos watched worldwide. Do simple maths and it leads to 450,000 years of eye slamming video session.</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: -0.5px; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After Google teamed up with NASA to share the world’s first commercial quantum computer made by Canada’s D-Wave, the company announced in 2014 that it will be <span style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">making its own</span> now.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
