If you’re traveling with children or extended family and don’t want to share sleeping space, you can book a vacation rental with more than one bedroom. Many properties you can rent through Vrbo or HomeAway offer much lower rates than you’d find if you tried to book a similarly-sized hotel room. And you may even get the amenities of a big resort, such as a pool, hot tub, gym, or on-site restaurant....

I still remember the intensity with which the Motorola executive briefing us about the Motorola Moto X in early 2014 uttered those words. It is a line that we think Google could do well to pick up when it starts marketing the Pixel 4a in India. And that is because the Pixel 4a somewhere seems to hark back to the Moto X in terms of philosophy.

A latest retail box leak had hinted that the Redmi Note 5A maybe sold as the Redmi Note 5A Plus in some regions.

On the memory front, the new device will offer 64GB of internal memory along with an expandable microSD slot that can accommodate up to 256GB....

Which, let us confess, is one heck of a surprise for us. For, when Apple unveiled the iPhone XR, it seemed to have cut back on the cameras and the display to accommodate a lower price tag than the XS and XS Max. So while the XS (and Max) had dual 12.0-megapixel cameras on the back and a 7-megapixel front camera, the XR only had a single 12.0-megapixel rear camera, although it had the same front camera set up....

Roughly 48 hours ago, a site called Digital Trends posted a rumor saying Google is in talks to buy WhatsApp for $1 billion. For some strange reason, everyone on the internet covered the rumor. I didn’t, because I never even heard of Digital Trends until yesterday. Neeraj Arora, WhatsApp’s Business Development Head pinged AllThingsD just now to tell them the rumor is indeed bullshit. This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Google can build a WhatsApp clone over the weekend if they wanted to....

Gmail offers more capabilities for attaching files, as you can only insert an attachment from Drive or your camera roll. Or if for some reason, you want to, you’re able to draw a scribble with your finger on iOS. Developers can embed access to other cloud services, but with Android, it’s there by default. All the user has to do is install their favorite service on their device. Which appears in the file picker menu....

If that sounds difficult, cast your mind three years back to 2013. Android was getting severely fragmented between the haves and the have nots – on the one hand, you had extremely powerful flagship devices that delivered many a dollop for many a Dollar in performance terms, and on the other you had budget devices that were best for basic browsing a bit of social networking and e-mail. There was a mid-section between the two as well, but even that was a significant step down from the flagships, who occupied a price zone of their own....

The very fact that it was carried on by a state-sponsored actor, the attack only seems more sinister. Unlike individuals State Sponsored attackers are the highly motivated group who have set objectives in line with political or military interests of any country. Also, it is very rare for state-sponsored attackers to siphon off the money from the stolen details and instead they keep collecting the data over a long period of time to gain a leverage over the victim....
