For some time now we have been witnessing a paradigm shift in the way we (consumers) use laptops. The hybrid laptop/tablet culture has kicked in and tech giants like Microsoft, Google and Apple have leapt forward to get a hold of the big fish. Hardware companies like HP, Dell and Asus have come up with tantalizing form factors for the hybrids. The market for laptops/tablets is going through a tumultuous wave, one which will change the industry forever and for the good. Who is the winner over here? Is has to be the consumer. What is the Surface Go? A 10 inch hybrid tablet/laptop priced at $399 (~Rs.30,000) running Windows 10 S mode (that means it will run apps only from the Microsoft Store).

Ever wondered how it would feel to wear a jacket that performs actions on your smartphone with gestures? Well, nobody thought it would be possible, but Google had other plans! Google' Project Jacquard has taken off with the introduction of Levi's new smart jacket and is set to take the world by storm.

It comes out of a partnership between the clothing company and a small division of Google dedicated to experimentation. We’ve seen lots of weird projects inside Google’s ATAP, but most of them (like the ill-fated Project Ara) have ended up getting scuttled. The Levi's Trucker jacket is currently available in the Unit...

Facebook pages and Twitter handles work wonders for your business, if you create and share the right content on them. Apart from the content, the design of the page makes a big difference in attracting and retaining the right customers or just customers in general.
