You heard our thoughts on the Samsung Gear S3, now let’s hear yours.
There are multiple ways to look at this. First, it’s the people who question the need for a smartwatch (or even any watch), but there’s not much to say to them. Then there are those that have an iPhone and the Apple Watch clearly has the best support – Android Wear can only peek over Apple’s walled garden, Samsung has no official solution yet.
The most difficult question to answer is Tizen vs. Android Wear. Google’s OS has more hardware and more apps, but Tizen is the more polished smartwatch OS. The mobile payments…
The past week was busy with announcements, but other news still somehow managed to take the cake. The Xiaomi MI Mix, for one, continues to captivate the public’s attention. Along with the Mi Note 2, the two phablets are easily among the most popular right now.
It is not surprising that fans now want to see more of the futuristic design, especially that of the Mi Mix. This was likely the source of many of the rumors, concerning the Mi Mix Nano, that have been making the rounds. Unfortunately Xiaomi was quick to burst the bubble by denying the handset’s existence.
However, there is…

India’s homegrown operating system, Indus OS, is a multilingual Android fork developed for the regional languages users in the country. Touted as the world’s first multilingual operating system, Indus OS supports 12 major Indian languages at the moment.
Launched in 2014, initially as Firstouch, Indus OS arrived on the scene in when it raised $5 million in Series A funding round in January 2015 and in mid-2015 when domestic smartphone maker, Micromax, partnered with the company and announced few smartphones powered by Indus OS instead of stock Android like it had done always. Now, five of the top Indian OEMs – Micromax, Celkon, Swipe, Karbonn, and Intex – have launched over 30 smartphones with Indus OS.
According to Counterpoint Research, Indus OS is now India’s second-most popular smartphone platform with a 6.3 percent market share, behind Android, while being ahead of Xiaomi’s MIUI and Cyanogen, as well as iOS.
As the smartphone penetration in India grows, the English-based operating systems with translated UI elements or regional language keyboards aren’t enough to tap into the market that is as lingually diverse as India. Indus OS pivots towards that demand from the next wave of smartphone users of a local alternative that speaks their language, literally. It is designed for vernacular users who will be using smartphones for the very first time, and have resisted the switch due to the language barrier.
Highlights of Indus OS
The focus of Indus OS is to overcome that language barrier and so far, it supports 12 regional languages – English, Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Kannada, Bengali, Urdu, Telugu, Malayalam, Odia, Tamil, and Assamese.
Unlike stock Android and other custom Android skins with support for Indian languages, in Indus OS, menu items, icon texts, et al too appear in the chosen regional language. Also, since it is targeted at first time smartphone users, the UI is smart and intuitive.
There’s also a customized launcher, messaging app, and dialer so the users are at home and not intimidated with a complex user interface or with UI elements in mixed languages. The Indus Messaging app pack in a ‘swipe to translate’ as well as a ‘swipe to transliterate’ feature. Rest of it is pretty much stock Android. Indus OS also supports a regional language keyboard that comes with prediction as well as transliteration – both very important for the audience.
There’s also built-in Text-To-Speech and live translation allowing users to listen to text in a message received or on a webpage in a different language. It also aids the illiterate with limited reading ability.
One of the highlights of Indus OS is the company’s own app store, the App Bazaar, that allows you to download apps without the need to sign-in using an email ID or Google Account. There are over 30,000 apps – including the primary apps like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, as well as Candy Crush – on the store. The fact that the store listings too are in the chosen regional language is a testimony of the company’s exhaustive and comprehensive focus – Source

This is difficult to watch, but do it anyway.
To honor International Elimination of Violence Towards Women Day, Amber Heard recorded an emotional two-minute video detailing her experience in — and path out of — an abusive relationship.
“There is a lot of shame attached to that label of ‘victim’,” Heard says in the video, which was shot for The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet in partnership with #girlgaze. “If I hadn’t had a few people that I really trust around me, a few women, support, a few friends, if I didn’t have them around me, how different my life would be.”
In May, Heard was granted a …
