T-Series is the first YouTube channel to hit 100 million subscribers

Image
T-Series is the first YouTube channel to reach more than 100 million subscribers after months of racing to the top. YouTube congratulated T-Series on Twitter , telling the Bollywood channel to make room on its shelf for a new trophy — similar to the Play Buttons the company hands out to channels that reach 1 or 10 million subscribers. T-Series also thanked fans for helping the company reach the milestone. Hitting 100 million subscribers doesn’t necessarily help the channel, but it is a point of pride. World’s biggest YouTube Channel, T-Series has achieved another YouTube milestone by being the first one to cross an astonishing #100MillionSubscribers . Thank you for being part of our journey.

Ferrari’s first plug-in hybrid can go from 0–62 mph in 2.5 seconds

Image
Ferrari has announced its first plug-in hybrid car, the SF90 Stradale . Alongside its V8 turbo engine, which the company claims has the highest output of any 8-cylinder in its history, the car has a total of three electric motors (two on its front axes and one on its rear). Combined, the combustion engine and motors produce 985 horsepower, allowing the car to accelerate from 0–62 mph in just 2.5 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 211 mph. If you’re looking to run the car in its all-electric eDrive mode, then you might be a little disappointed in its maximum of 15 miles of range. That might be enough for a quick trip to the store or a short commute, but these are hardly the trips you buy a Ferrari to make. At least those 15 miles will...

Microsoft is bringing Xbox Game Pass subscription service to PC with over 100 titles

Image
Microsoft announced today that it’s bringing its popular console game subscription service, Xbox Game Pass, to Windows. This is bigger than just a formal recognition that some of its included Xbox games in Game Pass can already be played on the PC. (Right now, any PC game that’s part of Game Pass can be played on either Xbox or Windows, thanks to the company’s Play Anywhere initiative , but a majority of those titles are Microsoft-published games like Forza Horizon 4 and Gears of War 4 .) Instead, Microsoft says it’s launching a whole new version of the subscription for Windows computers with over 100 games from more than 75 developers to start. Right now, fewer than 20 of the games available through Xbox Game Pass can be played on PC,... Continue reading… from The Verge - All Posts http://bit.ly/2W2n3eH

Motorola’s Moto Z4 is keeping the Moto Mod dream alive

Image
Motorola has officially announced the Moto Z4, the thoroughly leaked ( and even accidentally shipped !) successor to last year’s Moto Z3 . And yes, the company is still firmly sticking with its strategy of modular Moto Mod attachments. As one might expect, the Z4 is essentially an upgraded version of last year’s Moto Z3. The basic design is still the same: the phone is a glass sandwich with POGO pins on the back for snapping on the Mods. Motorola has followed recent phone trends by excising the bezels on the front in favor of a teardrop notch and a 19:9 OLED panel. Additionally, Motorola has also undone a few of the changes it made on the Z3 that people didn’t particularly like. The smaller 3,000mAh battery on last year’s Z3 has been...

Microsoft will distribute more Xbox titles through Steam and finally support Win32 games

Image
Microsoft says it’s committed to supporting competing PC game stores and it’s announcing today that it will distribute more Xbox Game Studios titles through Valve’s Steam marketplace. Typically, Microsoft has distributed its games through only Xbox Live on its game console platform and through its own Windows storefront on PC. Now, Microsoft says it wants to better support player choice and let customers buy games in more than one destination on PC. “Our intent is to make our Xbox Game Studios PC games available in multiple stores, including our own Microsoft Store on Windows, at their launch. We believe you should have choice in where you buy your PC games,” writes Xbox chief Phil Spencer in a blog post announcing the shift in...

Why specialization can be a downside in our ever-changing world

Image
Popular wisdom drives home the importance of a head start and specializing early. Not so fast, advises journalist David Epstein . After Epstein wrote about the famed 10,000-hour rule in his first book, The Sports Gene , he was invited to debate Malcolm Gladwell , whose book Outliers had brought the rule into the mainstream. To prepare for the debate, Epstein gathered studies that looked at the development of elite athletes and saw that the trend was not early specialization. Rather, in almost every sport there was a “sampling period” where athletes learned about their own abilities and interests. The athletes who delayed specialization were often better than their specialized peers, who plateaued at lower levels. Epstein filed this...

Samsung Galaxy A10e with Exynos 7885 chipset visits Geekbench

Image
Samsung has refreshed its smartphone strategy to gain the lost market share. Under the new scheme of things, the company is populating every segment with various smartphones. One such phone is the Galaxy A10e that has now appeared on Geekbench. The phone with model number SM-A102U is seen sporting an Exynos 7884 mobile processor, along with 2GB of RAM. The phone is seen running Android 9 Pie. The phone scores 1,163 points in the Single-Core test and 3,581 points in the Multi-Core test on Geekbench. Interestingly, the Galaxy A10e scores similar points as the Galaxy A10. The Galaxy A10 has the same Exynos 7884 chipset, which is coupled with up to 3GB RAM. In the case of Galaxy S10 Series, we have seen that Samsung has kept the key hardware in Galaxy S10e same as its larger variants. The main difference is in the display size and the number of cameras. The company is likely to repeat this trend with the Galaxy A10e. The Samsung Galaxy A10e has already been certified by the Bluetooth Sp...
