YouTube’s mini player, the picture-in-picture mode that lets you scroll through the rest of the screen while watching videos that shrink to a small box on the bottom right corner of the screen.

NEW DELHI: This year has been a special one for Acer. The Taiwan-based based PC maker has launched several laptops catering to different audience, and even broke some world records. While its Predator 21X is the world’s first laptop to sport a curved display, the Swift 7 now holds the distinction of being the ‘new’ slimmest laptop in the world. Until now, that title belonged to HP’s Spectre. But a difference of 0.42mm flipped the course of the game in Acer’s favour. The company launched Swift 7 at IFA 2016 back in September and recently, brought it to India. With price starting at Rs 99,999, the Acer Swift 7 is clearly targeted at customers who want powerful specs and portability, and don’t mind paying the premium for it.

But does it deserve a place in your … [Read more...] about Acer Swift 7 Review: Svelte meets power

SHENZHEN: For decades, Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei stayed out of sight as his company grew to become the biggest maker of network gear for phone carriers and surpassed Apple as the No. 2 smartphone brand. Now, Ren is shedding that anonymity as Huawei Technologies Ltd. mobilizes against the latest threat to its success: U.S. sanctions and warnings that it is a security risk. The billionaire entrepreneur embroiled in the Trump administration's fight with China over technology is a 75-year-old former army engineer who worked his way out of childhood poverty. He has survived competition that drove Western rivals out of the market, brushes with financial disaster and job stress so severe he contemplated suicide. He sees American pressure as just the latest in a string of tests that have hardened him and his company. "For three decades, Huawei has been suffering and no joy," Ren said in an interview. "The pain of each episode is different." There is a personal dimension to the … [Read more...] about US sanctions not his toughest crisis, says founder Ren Zhengfei

The US Federal Trade Commission is considering asking a court to stop Facebook Inc from moving ahead with plans to integrate its WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger subsidiaries, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Facebook shares closed 2.7% lower, reflecting fears the potential regulatory move could be a first step toward forcing the company to sell apps WhatsApp and Instagram, its fast-growing acquisitions. Facebook has plans to allow users of its units Messenger, WhatsApp and the direct messaging system within Instagram to communicate with each other, and end-to-end encryption will be extended across the three services. A source familiar with the matter said the FTC has not asked Facebook to halt the integration, a step that would normally precede a legal challenge. The Wall Street Journal said the FTC could file for an injunction to halt the integration as early as January.
