Exactly an year ago, Google announced the launch of its web-browser, Chrome! And since then we have discussed about the browser wars and the impact of Google Chrome on the browser industry on a consistent basis. When we tried making sense out of the numbers and stats last year, many believed its way too early to judge the browser-kid. And then, we had a look again during April 2009 on where each browser stand....

Yes, we chose our words carefully. And to make things dreadfully simple, we will not get into any mode or spec sheet discussions (single 12.2 megapixel camera with a f/1.8 aperture on the back, dual 8 megapixel cameras in front, for those interested), but will simply wade into the crux of the matter – what kind of photographs does the Pixel 3 take?

Google’s first attempt developing a smart WiFi router started early last year when the company introduced their OnHub series in partnership with Asus and TP-Link. Now, Google claims that their smart wireless router is based on their learning from their OnHub routers. Rather it is a marked improvement over the predecessor.

Why should you care about Dual-band GPS? The new technology is said to offer accuracy to within about 30cm which is phenomenal, considering the present day accuracy is up to 5m only. For those of you keeping count, that’s about 16 times more accurate than your current smartphone! Xiaomi showed us a quick demo of this technology during the launch event today in Shenzhen, China, where a car with completely blacked out windows is driven through a closed path with the driver using nothing, but just Xiaomi’s Mi 8 smartphone with dual GPS receivers to navigate his way, and still manages to make sure the car is within the stipulated bounds....
