Microsoft Lumia 535 hits the market.

Its not Nokia Lumia 535,its Microsoft Lumia 535.Yes,Microsoft launched its first Lumia phone after buying Nokia.Now,lets get a hands-on Microsoft Lumia 535.

Although Microsoft bought Nokia,it was obvious that the concept of the phone would change.However,Microsoft has maintained the old concept that was followed by Nokia.Just as Nokia used to give a choice of different colors to the users,Microsoft has done the same thing.Orange,White,Green and Black will be the colors that will be available to the users.On the back panel,one would see the brand name-Microsoft.

Coming to the specifications,the phone is powered by 1GB RAM with an internal storage of 8GB and around 3GB available for the user.The plus point is that Lumia 535 is provided with a microSD slot.The phone also has a 5MP camera with LED flash and a 540×960 pixels 5-inch display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3.The phone runs on Windows 8.Another thing is that the apps tagged as nokia is removed and is renamed as "Lumia"-Lumia Camera,Lumia Beamer,etc.

Priced at Rs.9199,this can be one of your choices if you are planning to buy a budget Windows phone.

Whats next for Firefox?

Lets go 10 years back.When Firefox was launched it was the only browser.As time passed, Firefox began losing itself and its future was at stake.But today,its not easy to predict the future of Firefox.
Around 2010/11,Firefox had owned almost 3/4th of the US market and was rated the third best in the Europe and in fact a lot of Germans prefer Firefox even today.
Google Chrome was launched at a stage where Firefox was under development.As Chrome offered faster browsing,people began to prefer Chrome browser.Much as changed after them.Firefox is now comparable to Chrome.I feel comfortable with Firefox not just because of the browsing speed but also because it is much easier to use.With more add-ons,its now easier to customize the browser.
Firefox has also extended itself to the mobile version of the browser which is gaining users.Not to forget that it has its own Firefox OS that runs on mobile phones.
To say,Firefox is able to convince people that its better than it was.Their effort has really payed them.To say, can really hope for the best from Firefox.

Firefox has truly achieved the web

Android One hits UK but faces stiff competition

Indian brand,Karbon has released its first smartphone-Sparkle V that follows Android One specifications has hit UK or any other developed country.But the thing is the stiff competition 
During the Black Friday deals at Amazon,the phone is priced at £99.Afterwards,it will be marked at £130.The 4.5 inch phone with 1.3Ghz quad core processor not only fails to have an outstanding specification but also is priced at a big sum.The EE Kestrel, for example, is only £100 ($160, AU$185) on pay as you go, but has better specs all round -- particularly 4G LTE connectivity for fast data. The HTC Desire 510 has a 4.7-inch display, a capable 1.2GHz quad-core processor and 4G as well, and is only £80 ($130, AU$150) on pay as you go with the O2 network. For only £10 more than the Sparkle's asking price, the superb 4G Motorola Moto G can be yours -- and that's one of CNET's all-time favorite budget phones.Although Android One was not intended to for UK ar any other developed countries,Karbon is hoping to extend its market across Europe with Sparkle V as its flagship product.

The NotCompatible Malware-So Beware!!!!!

In my previous post,I told you about the about the malware on Android 5.0 .Now,I will let you guys know about this virus,called NotCompatible,which is the most sophisticated till date.

So how is it going to affect and who is at loss?Of course its the users at the backseat.Its mainly based on phishing scam wherein the victims are lured to an infected website causing your phone to automatically download a file called update.apk and if the user accidentally installs that file,then its the end of that phone.

Once installed,there will be no application icon or any user interface on the screen.The malware has the ability to install it as a background service.This service runs when the screen is unlocked by the user or when the device is rebooted.

So how do you stop it??Pretty simple-just download the lookout app to prevent such a thing.Here is a video by lookout which first reported this malware.

Lollipop:The most secured android till date

Yes,it is.Android 5 is the most secure version of android that is available till date.How???Here it is

1. The best way to secure your phone is to to lock your screen.But many users avoid it.But now you can feel secured from the hackers without that as well.The lollipop has device encryption by default.Google’s full device encryption provides a unique key that never leaves the device and therefore is extremely hard to hack.

1. Also Google uses Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) to improve app security.Basically, Android 5.0 requires SELinux enforcing mode for all applications on your devices, and this means less wiggle room for a malware attack.

It’s great to see Google making improvements to security in Android, even if the malware/security threat isn’t as big as some would have you believe. According to Google’s own research, less than 1 in 1000 Android users are affected by a malicious local software attack — that’s really pretty low, all things considered. As for the threat of theft? There’s really not much Google can do to prevent theft, but at least they can continue to improve the OS so that would-be thieves can’t get their hands on vital information.

For more details on Android 5.0’s security improvements be sure to check out Google’s official blog post.
