<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Tesla chief Elon Musk has taken the Twitter route to look for some good engineers.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Tesla has been working hard on Autopilot to make an autonomous vehicle a reality. Tesla’s Autopilot doesn’t take complete control of the car but provides assistance in navigating through highway traffic and road hazards, making its Model S into a quasi-autonomous vehicle.</span></div>

Internet Explorer Is Still The ‘Most Used Browser’ In The World

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>SP's: </b>Defying all the trolls, Internet Explorer has retained its top spot as the most used browser in the world in the desktop market share. Leading the bunch with 50.86%, the Internet Explorer is far ahead from its competition, Chrome and Firefox. But for how long?</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<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;">In the wake of some of the archaic technologies, as some of the newbies were getting ready to pay obituaries to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer,  the vintage browser had showed it still got a healthy heart. In spite of the increasing popularity of Firefox and Chrome browsers, the latest reports by Net Applications paint a different picture.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The IE which recently celebrated its 20th birthday is still the number one and the most widely used web browser by the users. The real time web analytics show that the Internet Explorer has about 50.86% of the desktop browser market share with Chrome and Firefox not anywhere close with 31.12% and 11.28% popularity respectively.</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;">Internet Explorer 11 is at the top of the browser version’s list with 24.36% but, that doesn’t come as a surprise since it was the default browser in Windows 7 and 8.1 as most users let it be or didn’t bother to upgrade to Windows 10 which comes with Microsoft Edge.</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;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Microsoft has almost ditched its long-term Internet Explorer for the new Edge which currently is being preferred by only 2.66% of the users.</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;">However, on other fronts such as mobile based browser market, Apple’s Safari leads the bunch with 41.13% users, closely followed by Google Chrome with 36.84% of the popularity.</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;">As we see the figures, we didn’t find much changes in the Microsoft Edge’s growing numbers. The users of Edge are also, somehow disappointed by the fact that the Edge extensions have been postponed by the developers to next year.</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;">Whatever be the reason, the ailing Internet Explorer is still holding its ground amidst all the trolls on the web. But for how long??</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;">

<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;">With its motto of anonymity and security by default, The Tor Project has released the beta version of its Tor Messenger after a year long of effort which saw three alpha versions distributed for testing. The Tor IM is built over Mozilla’s Instantbird, an existing open-source messenger and supports multiple transport networks like Gooogle Talk, Facebook Chat, Twitter, Yahoo and others.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Instantbird was not the only choice of the team developers, says Tor, as they had considered Pidgin and Adam Langley’s xmpp-client as well. But, as the Tor developer team had an experience working on the XUL (XML User Interface Language over which Tor Browser is built), they chose Mozilla’s Instantbird.</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;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">However, the developers are still working on parts of creating absolute anonymity, and therefore, had asked the users ‘not to rely heavily on the Tor Messenger’ for some time. The Tor IM developers are looking for feedbacks and have already started working on the updates.</span></div>

HAIZE – A Compass Based Navigation System for Your Bicycle

Created by Onomo, it scheduled to be delivered by June 2016.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This time it is HAIZE by Onomo, another kickstarter project pledged to change the world by what we can call, transforming the way how we use our bicycles. HAIZE is a navigation system based on a compass and an app along with it, allows you to explore the city at your will and helps you reach your destination in spite of wherever you’ve been roaming around.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">With visual resemblance similar to some out of the world gadget, HAIZE comfortably adapts the shape and size of your bicycle handle, thanks to the rubber band strap it features. After connecting successfully with the companion app on your Android or iOS, HAIZE is fully determined with its job and helps you zig-zag through the city streets or wherever you like.</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;">HAIZE is fabricated with anodized aluminium providing it a sleek and sturdy build accompanied by a set of 23 LEDs appointed to safely transport you and your bike to any destination you like. In the technical bundle, it has a magnetometer sensor to track direction along with an accelerometer and a gyroscope sensor which helps HAIZE know its position.</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;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It also power-packs a 300mAh battery which lasts for around 2 weeks of normal usage. HAIZE also features a Bluetooth 4.0 radio, so it can befriend your smartphone and synchronize your trip data.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">HAIZE has two working modes:</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Compass Mode: </span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In this mode, you only have to feed your destination in the companion app and HIAZE is fully prepared to keep an eye on you, no matter wherever you’re, in some busy street or somewhere exploring the nature’s beauty or even if you are outside a lion’s cave with goose bumps all over body. The LEDs always point in the direction of your destination, so you are not stranded in some unknown street while you are on your voyage.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Navigation Mode: </span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This mode is meant to assist you with turn by turn navigation as soon as you type your destination in the app. In this mode, HAIZE doesn’t let you do what you want, but keeps you on the right track every time, so you can speed towards your destination without any disturbance.</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;">Additionally, the app keeps the track of your past trips and other technical details which shouldn’t bother about. You only have to just type the location and put the phone in your pocket, HAIZE will take on the task thereon.</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;">It all started with a quest,</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;">How can we re-invent the compass to give us a better navigation experience?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And after six prototypes and a lot of hard work, the creators do have an idea about how to proceed with their quest. As of now, they just want to say:</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;">We are almost ready to get HAIZE out on the road.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The creators have managed to collect £20,071 out of the £50,000 pledged amount, and they’ve plans to deliver HAIZE by June 2016.</span></div>

Here’s Why Mark Zuckerberg is Being Sued Big Time

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>SP's: </b>A Delaware Judge has ruled that instead of holding Facebook board’s 60% voting power, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg isn’t above the law. This ruling has cleared a path for a lawsuit against Facebook CEO, claiming that the he authorised Facebook Board of Directors’ pay much higher than the industry standards.</i></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;">Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is in trouble. A Facebook shareholder, Ernesto Espinoza, has filed a complaint on behalf of the company, claiming that the Facebook directors are being paid a lot more than industry standards.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Delaware Chancery Court Judge Andre Bouchard has given green signal to the investor to proceed with his lawsuit against the Facebook CEO for not following proper rules.</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;">In the complaint, Espinoza claims that Facebook’s board of directors body was allowed to set its own pay in the year 2013 and Mark didn’t comply with the corporate statutes of Delaware. The rules state that a formal vote at a stockholder meeting or written consent must be needed for such changes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It should be noted that Zuckerberg hold’s 60% voting power. According to the suit, in 2014, he filed an affidavit approving a pay of an average of $461,000 in stock – which is 43% higher than the directors of peer companies.</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 Delaware judge stated in the ruling that even though Zuckerberg has the ability to approve whatever stockholder action he wants with his 60% voting power, he doesn’t get the right to bypass the corporate formalities.</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;">Bashing Mark’s actions, he added, “If affidavits are sufficient, what about meeting minutes, press releases, conversations with directors or even liking a Facebook post of a proposed corporate actions?”</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;">“His rights as a stockholder are no greater than the rights of any other stockholder—he simply holds more voting power,” Judge ruled.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For those who don’t know, Chrome OS is the operating system used by Google to power the Chromebook line of laptops. These are the low-storage machines that are dependent on the cloud for most functions.</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;">But, Why is Google killing the Chrome OS anyway?</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;">“Google’s new version of Android will also run PCs, giving users access to Google’s Play store, which offers more than one million apps,” WSJ reports.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">“Google wants to get its software and moneymaking services such as Search and YouTube on as many devices as possible. It also hopes to curry favor with independent developers, whose apps will work on more devices with fewer modifications.”</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;">It won’t be wrong to assume that the idea of a hybrid operating system and a hybrid-PC is inspiring the Google CEO Sundar Pichai to move towards a more mobile-focused future. Google has also revealed a convertible laptop last month called the Pixel C and it seems like just the start.</span></div>

Finally!! Annoying Candy Crush Requests Will Be Over Soon

<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="mark-zuckerberg-cnady-crush" height="398" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/mark-zuckerberg-cnady-crush.jpg" width="640" /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>SP's: </b>During the Townhall at IIT Delhi in India, Mark Zuckerberg said that his team will try and curb the Candy Crush menace for the greater good of its users. The question was asked to him by the students at the event.</i></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;">Out of the two most frequent questions raised on the Facebook platform, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook answered one of them yesterday. After visiting the “incredible” Taj Mahal, he visited Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, one of the top engineering colleges of India.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Zuckerberg responded to a query of stopping the annoying Candy Crush invitations while he was addressing the students. During the promotion of the event, someone posted this to his post, “I don’t want any more invitations to Candy Crush. How can I stop it?”  It is not a surprise that this was the top voted question on his thread. (By the way, here’s how to stop the Candy Crush Requests)</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;">As Zuckerberg replied,</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;">"This is where these Town Hall Q&As are really useful because I actually saw this question, that it was the top voted question on my thread. So I sent a message to the person who runs the team in charge of our developer platform and I said by the time I do this Town Hall Q&A, I think it would be good if we had a solution to this problem."</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;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Millions of people who feel the same (at least I do) about the Candy Crush requests should be thankful of this student because Mark Zuckerberg has promised to find the solution for this nuisance. If you don’t know the gravity of this problem then see the pent up frustration of the public for yourself.</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: center;">
<img alt="Go-Candy-Crush-Go" height="419" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Go-Candy-Crush-Go.jpg" width="640" /></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;">Zuckerberg said that his developer team did not look through into the matter as hitherto because they didn’t know Candy Crush requests were this big a problem. But seeing the response himself, he will now give it a top priority.</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;">Addressing at the event the CEO of the world’s one of the most valuable brands reflected that he had committed every possible mistake during the early day of Facebook and advised the students to not be afraid of committing mistakes, and instead learn from them and work hard to be successful. He also talked about the net neutrality issue and why it was so important for his company to provide easy access to knowledge to everyone in this world.</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;">Well, that being the second problem that he just addressed. The first one was the Facebook dislike or empathy button to which he obliged to the users who were so eager to have it on their web page.</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;">King’s Candy Crush developers have not yet commented on Facebook’s plans.</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;">So, on a personal note, I would like to thank Mr. Zuckerberg for his kind attention to both these topics and hope that his team comes up with a plan soon.</span></div>
