Google removes TikTok from Play Store after Indian government and judiciary’s directive

Image
Google removes TikTok from Play Store after Indian government and judiciary’s directive TikTok, the popular app that lets you create short videos with dubbing, has become a global phenomenon in recent years. The app took over the gap left by Vine’s declining popularity, as it allowed its users to get creative (or cringey) with their videos. TikTok went on to merge with a similar app called musical.ly in August 2018, creating an even larger video community comprising mainly of teens and young adults. Irrespective of whether you like TikTok or hate it, the app went on to be included in  Google Play’s Best Apps of 2018  for its entertainment quotient amongst its audience. But recent developments indicate that this might just be the end of the road for the app in the Indian market, as the government has sought to ban the app following rulings for the same by the Indian judiciary. The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court in India passed an ex-parte interim order on...

If launched, the company will have its presence in the two major categories of headphones: in-ear and over-ear (Surface Headphones). The report notes that the codename for this product does not fall in line with the generic ones that Microsoft has used for its other products. There are devices like Andromeda and Centaurus that use astrological names. The  Surface Headphone  was codenamed Joplin...

It’s also weaker than the Snapdragon 670 in CPU and GPU performance, which is what you would expect given Qualcomm’s branding convention. It’s hard to see where the Snapdragon 665 fits in given the many mid-range chipsets that Qualcomm already offers, but the Snapdragon 660, despite its immense popularity among budget Chinese smartphone manufacturers, is an aging chip. The Snapdragon 665 could be the next big hit for low-cost, mid-range Android smartphones, overtaking the Snapdragon 660. Lets talk about the differences C.P.U: Both are comes with 8 kryo 260 cores.
