Here again I am back 😀

To connect with all.

starting the journey again with some more tech news.

SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive

Apple fans need to keep one big fact in mind: Buying a 16GB iPhone is not good, because you’ll run out of space soon after. Then transferring photos, videos or contacts from Apple is often not the easiest thing, certainly not as seamless as it is on Android.

If you’re not carrying that Lightning cable around, you can forget about transferring anything from your iPhone or iPad to a PC. Earlier Leef launched its iBridge device to help expand space for iPhone users in India, and now SanDisk has introduced its own iXpand Flash Drive, which does something similar.
SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive will add some extra space to your iPhone, and makes transferring contacts, photos hassle-free. It starts at Rs 3,990 for 16GB and goes all the way upto Rs 9,990 for 128GB.

INTEL JUST RELEASE CORE I-10 COMPUTER PROCESSOR WITH EXTREME PERFORMANCE

While you might feel content using your current computer powered by standard Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, Intel has just announced its first 10-core desktop CPU for extreme performance.

Dubbed Intel Core i7-9650X Extreme Edition, these processors will add more fuel to the gigahertz race in the tech world. With this release, Intel is also ditching its Latin branding (deca-core) and going for simple “10-core”.

These new Broadwell-E processors will operate at 3GHz with an upper overclocking limit of 3.5GHz. The new chip will come with Intel’s Turbo Boost 3.0 technology and feature 25MB cache.

Before telling you more about this monster, let me state its price. To own this hardcore piece of engineering, be prepared to spend an incredible $1,723.

So, why does Intel Core i7-9650X Extreme Edition cost this much?

According to Intel, this chip is made for the “mega-taskers”, which is apparently the next level of multi-tasking. The company says that while performing 3D rendering tasks, it’s 35% faster than the last-gen Core i7-5960X. Compared to the same chip, Broadwell-E is 25% faster when it comes to editing 4K videos.

If you are looking for a slightly cheaper version of Intel Core i7-9650X Extreme Edition, there’s a good news for you.

Intel has announced that the new Extreme Edition i7 CPUs will also come in 8-core and 6-core variants. Including the previous 10-core processors, all the new chips will support DDR4-2400 RAM.

These chips also mark another step in Intel’s new product cycle favoring the new “Process, Architecture, Optimisation” model. Notably, last year, the company announced that it’ll be ditching its “Tick-Tock” model.

Another leak of the HTC 10 shows the handset in white leak of the HTC 10 shows the handset in white

There is no doubt that HTC is really excited about the HTC 10 that it has been teasing the device left and right since the beginning of this year. This time, however, a photo was leaked through Chinese micro-blogging network Weibo.

Apparently someone who had their hands on a final unit in white, took a picture of it laying a top a greasy laptop keyboard. The unit shown had Chinese software on it but looks just like another Chinese unit that was also leaked earlier last month.

What is different about this unit was that it was white. We’d only seen units with black faces so at least we now know that HTC plans to release a version of the phone with a white bezel, perhaps with a silver finish on the rear?

HTC has already teased the HTC 10 in the past with its large beveled edge, another teaser featured the HTC 10’s speaker system and promised that it would feature the best Boom Sound experience than ever before. HTC also teased the phone’s performance, and camera(calling it “the best ever smartphone for shooting photos and videos) and finally, just today, HTC also teased the phone’s battery life.

Domino's launches 'Zero Click' pizza ordering app

 Domino's has launched a new app on iOS and Android, that takes all the work and effort out of ordering a pizza. With Zero Click, you can order your favourite pizza simply by opening the app. The app saves your favourite pizza and all the other information required to send you the pizza. Once that is done, you just have to open the app. It waits for ten seconds so you can cancel if you opened the app accidentally, and then automatically places the order for the pizza you have set in your profile. It then displays your order info.

It is a very convenient way to order pizza if you're extremely sure what you want to order. Just make sure you save the app icon somewhere you or someone else won't accidentally launch it.
