Best all-around smartphone About halfway through the year, we were convinced that Samsung’s Galaxy S6 would rule the category of best smartphone for the year, but things quickly turned once the Nexus 6came onto the scene.

The reason why it’s necessary for gaming laptops to have interchangeable innards is the fact that gamers are used to computers that can be easily upgradable to run whatever’s new in the gaming world. Even on a standard high-end gaming laptop, there’s a possibility you won’t be able to play the latest titles two or in a few cases, one year down the road. On the other hand, there’s the Alienware Area-51m....

This type of technology challenges the technological concepts that, for centuries, regulated the market. In digital cameras, lenses are used to direct light to a digital sensor.

Is it the future of what we know today by chamber?...

Plant A Tree anonymously posted an Instagram story urging users to share a picture of their pet. For each post, the company would plant one tree.

It quickly snowballed out of control, with over 4 million shares in only a couple of days....

I have always believed in making TechPP – a place to share the knowledge on anything related to Technology and Internet – be it Web 2.0, Social media, Computers or Wordpress in a simple, easy to understand way. But I do feel that there are certain areas and topics which still need to be explored and covered and though I think I can contribute in those areas, I don’t really think that I can find time to do it....

All SIM cards are pretty small (except for the OG SIM cards that were the size of a credit card…they’re kind of like the clunky ‘80s phone of SIM cards) because they need to fit into your smartphones, which are growing ever thinner. Here are the different sizes and their measurements in this handy-dandy SIM card size chart (print it out, put it on the fridge or maybe even get it tattooed on your back)....

TNW Conference 2012: What I Saw The Next Web Conference. Getting there didn’t represent a problem, thanks to the helpful tram rails in Amsterdam. Once I got there, I was greeted by a sign that told me where to head to for the conference. Being the first time here, I got excited about it. This year, the conference is held in quite an exotic venue that looks good both from the outside as from the inside....

To get this working, says you need to enable caller ID update to the latest version....

Picture a point and shoot camera. Now imagine it running Android. That’s the Samsung Galaxy Camera in a nutshell, and it’s a bold experiment that I applaud Samsung for launching, but I would never in a million years recommend anyone actually buy one. Similar to how the first Galaxy Note was too weird for most people, but then the second one became a smash hit, I’m expecting a similar thing to happen to the Galaxy Camera....

In Summary There is a widespread belief that most people buy iPhones just to show them off – for “flaunt” value. However, the fact is that the design of the iPhone has not been radically overhauled for a while. So much so that even older iPhones can be mistaken for new ones. Also, with increasing sales, an iPhone is no longer as ‘exclusive’ or ‘niche’ as it once was. So if its design remains largely unchanged over a period of time (witness the latest iPhone SE), why do people invest so heavily in Apple’s phone?...

As per court filing stated on Friday, US magistrate judge in Boston in February ordered Apple to help law enforcement officer in inspecting the iPhone used apparently by a gang member.
