The entire journey started back in 2006 with the idea of creating a lineup of products to offer the ‘world's best gaming’ experience.

Asus has recently added a new member to its gaming desktop lineup called ROG Strix GA35. These are AMD Ryzen-powered machines and are available in two variants. The base variant features a combination of AMD Ryzen 7 3800X and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super graphics card and costs Rs 1,79,990, while the top of line comes with a much powerful AMD Ryzen 9 3950X and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080Ti card, which is also our review unit and costs Rs 3,49,990.

Moving past last years’ dud that was the Galaxy Note 7, we were quite sure that Samsung will bounce back with a great Note device this year. Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is now available to users and at the first glance it looks like a worthy upgrade.

Design and Display Innovation is the name of the game and like Apple, Samsung has also been innovating throughout the years.

The display (with Corning Gorilla glass 5 on top) is a treat to work with … [Read more...] about Samsung Galaxy Note 8 review: Sunshine after a dark day

Tracking results of open heart surgeries may soon become easier and cheaper,thanks to a simple, cost effective palm size blood flow meter developed by scientists of the prestigious Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) here. India is currently fully dependent on imported blood flow meters to precisely measure blood flow rates - a critical parameter to measure the outcome of open heart surgeries. However, this becomes expensive with each unit costing upto Rs 25 lakh to 30 lakh and can be afforded only by very few super speciality hospitals in India. The research team at the city based SCTIMST,an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology under the union government, has developed the palm size device that measures the flow rate of blood using a novel magnetic method and a signal conditioning technique,a press release from the institute said. "The device has a mechanism to produce a magnetic field, an electronic measurement … [Read more...] about New device developed to reduce cost of tracking open heart surgeries
