Today i had a discussion with friends regarding smartphone protection..

Is that smartphone protection program worth? Small Discussion with friends

Most of insurance companies providing physical damage insurance because currently we are spending huge amount for mobile phones and also we are using costly mobiles.

So whats is security.

Most of people insured their mobiles. If their mobile is stolen or lost or if any physical damage they will claim through insurance.

Now coming to the matter my friend insured his latest i phone 6 mobile. During insurance time they will give promise that insurance cover physical damage and mobile lost.

within two months his mobile has stolen while claiming insurance they are asking police FIR copy for proof of evidance.

So we need to file FIR to police station. FIR copy is mandatory to claim insurance.

Now what is next . They will ask original bill copy. This also mandatory.

Then we need to provide address proof id proof. We need to provide all these documents .

So best is these programs are worth for huge amount costliest phones not for budget mobiles.

Apple Iphone Prices Are Increased

Hello Viewers,

Apple Iphone Prices Are Increased
Apple Iphone Prices Are Increased


Really Its a shock news who are all in india.  Normally our one of the aim is we need to purchase iphone in our life. But Apple has increased cost of phone in india.

Yes..

Apple has increased prices of iPhones in India.The surprise revision in retail prices comes at a time when the company's new device SE got a poor response and managed to sell only a few thousand units.

Unknown Sources said Apple decided to withdraw some of the discounts offered in January-March 2016 period. "It was felt that SE, which was criticized for having a 'high price tag', will not be able to see much traction if prices of bigger-sized iPhone 6 and 6S devices are not corrected. So, the decision was taken to revise the price upwards," a source said.

While 16GB version of 4-inch SE made its debut at Rs 39,000, a similar specced (16GB) version of iPhone 6 is available at Rs 31,000 and 6S at Rs 40,500. "After the revision, iPhone 6 costs Rs 40,000 and 6S comes for Rs 48,000. We are trying to build a healthy buffer," the source added.

The company also decided to tinker with pricing of iPhone 5S, making it costlier by 22% to nearly Rs 22,000 against Rs 18,000 at present. Apple has also come out with corporate offers and EMI plans to push sales.

Apple recently held a meeting with top executives and key distributors in India, especially in view of the launch of SE. "The stock of SE was in any case kept at a low level," a source said. "A strategy is being worked out to pitch the device more effectively."

A potential source of worry for Apple could be a good response to Samsung for Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge smartphones. After launching in March, Samsung managed to sell nearly twice the numbers achieved by the previous-generation models in the same period.

"Another problem for SE in India is the small screen size. Indians are increasingly buying larger screen-sized phones, even at the lower-end of the market. A lot of data is consumed on smart devices and smaller ones do not find much favour with buyers," a Unknown source said.

WhatsApp announced enhanced the security

Hi viewers,

WhatsApp announced enhanced the security

WhatsApp announced enhanced the security.

Recently I have heard one news regarding WhatsApp like security measurement, they are enhances the security.

Please read more.

Following the Silicon Valleys recent stare-down with authorities over user data privacy involving Apples iPhone encryption, social media firm whatsapp has announced end-to-end encryption of Whatsapp messages that allows users to protect their conversations from being hacked.
An important milestone for the WhatsApp community. Now all your conversations and calls are encrypted to keep you and your information safe when you use the latest version, said CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement on Wednesday.
Facebook acquired California-based WhatsApp in 2014.
A full end-to-end encryption means that over one billion users of WhatsApp, when running the latest version of the messaging app, every call they make, and every message, photo, video, file, and voice message they send, will be end-to-end encrypted by default, and can only be deciphered by the intended recipient.
The idea is simple: when you send a message, the only person who can read it is the person or group chat that you send that message to. No one can see inside that message. Not cybercriminals. Not hackers. Not oppressive regimes. Not even us, said Jan Koum, CEO and co-founder of Whatsapp in a blog post on Tuesday.
Encryption is one of the most important tools governments, companies, and individuals have to promote safety and security in the new digital age. Recently there has been a lot of discussion about encrypted services and the work of law enforcement, Koum added.
Weve been working for the past two years to give people better security over their conversations on WhatsApp. Im proud of our team for hitting this milestone, he said.
The social networks decision to enhance its security features comes close on the heels of the Federal Bureau of Investigations attempt to force Apple unlock an encrypted iPhone used by San Bernardino shooter Syed Farouk, who along with his wife opened fire at a holiday party, killing 14 people.

Fb shutdown net neutrality

Fb shutdown net neutrality


In a boost to net neutrality, Fb has decided to shut down its controversial Free Basics programme in India, following telecom regulator Trais move to bar operators from charging different rates for Internet access based on content.

Facebook met with severe criticism for its programme, which aimed at providing basic Internet access to people in partnership with telecom operators.

Critics saw this as violation of the principle of net neutrality that states that entire Internet should be available to everyone on equal terms as Free Basics allowed access to selected websites.

Free Basics is no longer available to people in India, a Facebook spokesperson said in an emailed response.

The service was available in India with Reliance Communications. In December, Reliance put the service on hold following a Telecom Regulator Authority of Indias directive to that effect

Yes. Very soon

 You may soon be able to dial landline or mobile phone numbers from popular internet apps such as Skype, WhatsApp or Viber, following clearance for inter-connect agreements between internet service providers and telecom operators by an inter-ministerial panel of the government on Monday.
The move may result in substantially lower charges for voice calls (which would be billed as per data usage), though poor quality of internet networks - a general irritant with broadband services in many parts of the country - could be a dampener.

Kabali Release Date

Hi Superstar Fans,

Kabali Release Date
Kabali release date

Now current trending is World T20 Cup & Super star Rajini sir's Kabali.


All superstar fans are waiting for kabali release. Here some news which I was heard.

The Superstar has been shooting in Malaysia for his upcoming film Kabali. The biggest news now is that the movie is also going to be dubbed and released in the Malay language.
Director Pa Ranjith's film Kabali has been shot extensively in Malaysia, in places like Melaka and Kuala Lumpur. The team has had at least three schedules in Malaysia so far. Tamil film stars have a huge fan following in the country thanks to the large Tamil-speaking population. But non-Tamil speaking Malaysians are also huge fans of stars like Rajinikanth. Keeping this in mind, the Kabalifilmmakers have apparently also decided to release the movie in Malay.

Kabali stars Rajinikanth with Radhika Apte, Prakash Raj and also some Malaysian actors. The movie is about an aging gangster played by Rajinikanth, while Radhika Apte plays his wife. Dhanshikaa plays his daughter. Prakash Raj is also part of the film. The movie is likely to release in May.

Ringing bells ready to face inquiry

Hi viewers,

Ringing bells ready to face inquiry

Ringing bells ready to face inquiry
Ringing bells ready to face inquiry

I do maintain that we will deliver the most affordable quality products to our customers through our range of smartphones including Freedom 251, Goel said.

NEW DELHI: Ringing Bells Pvt. Ltd., which promised to make available the worlds cheapest smartphone, on Friday said it will cooperate with any investigation into its affairs.

We remain committed to cooperate with any government agency that may need to inquire our organisation for any reason or suspicion. We have already done so with authorities/agencies that have so required, the company based in Noida in Uttar Pradesh said in a statement, citing Managing Director Mohit Goel.

A first information report (FIR) was registered on Tuesday against Goel and company president Ashok Chaddha under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) as well as the Information Technology (IT) Act on a complaint filed by BJP leader Kirit Somaiya.

I do maintain that we will deliver the most affordable quality products to our customers through our range of smartphones including Freedom 251, Goel added.

Freedom 251 is the companys flagship product, promised to be made available at a retail price of only Rs.251.

Ringing Bells launched the product last month in the presence of veteran BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi.

It distributed some prototypes of the product to the media which turned out to be Adcom handsets. However, the company maintained that the device has been developed with immense support from the government.

According to the company, Freedom 251 will run on Android 5.1 operating system and will sport a 4-inch qHD IPS display, a 3.2-megapixel primary and a 0.3-megapixel front camera.

However, doubts were raised after assessments of the viability of the handset found that such a device cannot be offered for less than Rs.2,300-2,400.

In Freedom 251, as presented to several authorities and agencies, and explained at our various forums, we are able to price our product at lower than production cost due to innovative e-commerce cross promotions and we will complete delivery of the quantities as committed by June 30, 2016, Goel said.

Ringing Bells had received 30,000 orders on the first day.

The rest of the customers for the first 25 lakh handsets were to be selected on first-come-first-served basis as the company received about seven crore registrations before the payment gateway crashed.

Later, the company decided to return the money to the customers who pre-booked the Rs.251 device on the first day of the sale.

The company said it planned to give 25 lakh handsets in the first phase before June 30.

Amazing Amazon

Hello,
Amazing Amazon
Amazing Amazon

Amazing Amazon

Amazon has become a major player in the worlds fastest growing major economy.

E-commerce is growing exponentially in India due to rapid mobile Internet penetration and increasing customer spend.

India should be Amazons biggest growth driver in the coming years.

Growth, Growth, Growth.

Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) has seen tremendous success in its Indian business. Amazon launched its Indian arm in June 2013 and has seen tremendous growth since then. India has become Amazons biggest source of new customers after the US. The Indian e-commerce market size is expected to reach ~$100 billion by 2020 and Amazon has successfully carved a leading position in the Indian marketplace. Its excellent customer service provides a strong reason for customers to prefer Amazon over other competitors (Snapdeal and Flipkart). India is set to be a major growth driver for the company, even as the US and UK markets mature for the companys e-commerce segment. During fourth quarter 2015, Amazon sold more than it did during full year 2014. Amazon does not have a strong presence in other markets such as China and Japan. These countries are relatively antagonistic to foreign companies and prefer domestic ones. I think Amazon is set to become the No.1 e-commerce player in the Indian market because of the following reasons.

We are very pleased with the growth momentum we are witnessing in India. At the end of Q3-2015, we saw an approx. 500 percent YoY growth in volume, and in Q4-2015 we sold more than we did in all of 2014. As per comScore, Amazon.in is the Most Visited e-commerce site in the country and we also had the fastest growing shopping app among all e-commerce companies in 2015, the company added.

Business Standard

Why is Amazon bullish on India?

1) The average Indian spend is increasing - With the advent of smartphones in India, an average Indian is spending more online. According to a study, the average spend by an Indian shopper will rise 67% reaching Rs.10000 in 2015. It is expected there will be 40 million online shoppers in India by 2016, which will be double from what it was in 2013. Indias Diwali festival is somewhat like Christmas in the west when customers splurge on shopping. In India during the festive season, e-commerce firms in India like Amazon, Flipkart and Snapdeal roll out exciting offers to attract shoppers to the online medium. It is expected that about one-fourth of their revenue comes during this period.

2) Amazon is doing things differently - With a number of e-commerce sellers in the online marketplace, Amazon has been doing things differently to stand out. While most online sellers are using pricing and discounting as their main differentiators, Amazon is bringing in its global expertise and experience to climb to the top. Amazon started next-morning delivery for late-night orders. Amazons customer service and its website navigation also is much better than the main Indian competitors such as Flipkart and Snapdeal. Though Amazon is not doing anything radically different, but its doing things differently which may help it win the race. The company also is looking at exporting some of its innovations that it has developed in India to other geographies as well.

3) Amazon.in is growing exponentially - Amazon.in has over 30 million products listed in India, adding an average of over 40,000 products a day in 2015. The number of sellers on the Amazon.in platform has increased more than 250% in the last year. While Flipkart had plans to end 2015 with 100,000, Amazon already has crossed that number. The company got requests to register over 24,000 sellers in September 2015 alone. Amazon.in has nearly tripled its fulfilment capacity with over 90% of Indian sellers using Amazons logistics and warehousing services.

4) Amazon will likely emerge as the leader - Amazon has an excellent logistics network, international experience and backing of Amazon.com which gives it an edge over local Indian firms like Flipkart and Snapdeal. Its return policy also is excellent making the overall consumer experience very pleasant. The company has massive financial backing compared to other competitors which primarily depend on private equity money to support their cash burn. Note almost all India e-commerce players are losing money now as they invest heavily to support the huge growth being seen in the industry. Indians have taken to the online medium in huge numbers leading to massive growth. The Amazon website and its app were the most visited among other e-commerce companies in India in 2015.

5) Amazon is increasing investment in India - Amazon expects India to be its largest overseas market overtaking UK, Japan and Germany. The firm is planning to increase investment to $5 billion in the country. Amazon had announced an investment of $2 billion to expand its operations in India last year and received a large fund of INR 19.8 billion in February 2016. The company also is increasing its warehousing capacity in India with more sellers choosing Amazon as their warehousing partner. Currently Amazon has 21 warehouses in India so far, three of which were set up during 2015.

6) Beating Competition - The early leaders in the Indian e-commerce business like eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY), Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) and Rediff are now trying to survive. Foreign e-commerce players have struggled in the Indian marketplace due to unique Indian issues. Indians mostly prefer to pay cash on delivery (COD) rather than through credit cards. Logistics also is a major challenge due the countrys under developed infrastructure. Amazon has been the only foreign company to adapt successfully to the Indian conditions, apart from Flipkart and Snapdeal. Even I have found Amazon to be much more reliable and trustworthy in delivering products, compared to other online players.

7) Good Results - Amazon numbers also are looking quite good with its cloud business and other segments also performing quite well. Amazon has been expanding frantically in India as can be seen from the last years numbers. The total revenues from Amazon India jumped to INR 10.22 billion, with losses amounting to INR 17.24 billion. The company has been spending heavily on marketing and logistics. FY 2014s corresponding sales and losses amounted to INR 1.69 billion and INR 3.21 billion, respectively. This shows the scale at which the firm has expanded in India.

Risks

Market Dislocation and High Valuation - Amazon has always commanded a high valuation despite the company following a very different strategy of pursuing growth at all costs. This has meant that the companys profitability has not been high as the company has invested in a diverse set of business segments. While some have proved to be a failure (smartphones), others such as its cloud business has proven to be a spectacular success. Amazon has been similar to Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOG) in pursuing risky opportunities but with massive potential. Investors have rewarded Amazons unconventional strategy. The stock trades with a P/B of ~19x with a P/E of ~52x. With the Fed increasing its interest rates, high P/E stocks such as Amazon could be more vulnerable in a risk averse situation.

Stock performance has been pretty stunning over the last year

The stock has returned 46% in the last year. AMZN stock is currently trading at $552, which is just 21% below its 52-week high price. Its worlds most valuable retailer, with a market capitalization value of $257 billion.

Conclusion

Amazon has performed excellently to become the only foreign e-commerce retailer to carve out a leading position in Indias hyper growth e-commerce industry. It has been amazing how quickly the company has emerged as a leader in the Indian subcontinent. By sales, India has become Amazons fastest growing geography and is the second largest market for Amazon after the US. The company has been slowly outpacing competition and I think will soon emerge as a winner in the Indian e-commerce space. Though its sky high valuation is a concern, I would look to buy the stock on dips given its leadership position in major countries.

Hello Viewers,


Greetings..!

Media reports that Flipkart CEO Binny Bansal's email account has been hacked, the e-tailer on Friday said it was spoofed but not hacked.

"We would like to clarify it is not a case of hacking. Flipkart's corporate email system leverages the highest standards of security including but not limited to two factor authentication," it said in a statement.

A spoofed email does not originate from the real source but from a different source falsifying the name and address with an ulterior motive.

TOI on Friday reported that Bansal's email account was hacked and two emails were sent in his name to Flipkart's CFO Sanjay Baweja on March 1 at 11.33am, directing him to transfer $80,000.

The company said it filed a police report complaining on email spoofing its CEO suffered.

"We have filed a case of email spoofing which involves use of a forged email header to make it look like a legitimate email. This case of email spoofing was immediately detected and a report was filed with police," the statement added.

Flipkart Amazon sellers Raising Their Voices Against Return

Hello Friends,
Flipkart Amazon sellers

Flipkart Amazon sellers Raising Their Voices Against Return


Aggrieved sellers on Amazon, Flipkart and Snapdeal are raising their voices against a penalty by these marketplaces and have even formed an eSeller Suraksha Forum for the same.

Sellers have complained that the marketplaces are penalising them in case of an opened packaging and returned item.

Around 1,000 sellers have conveyed that Amazon, Flipkart and Snapdeal do not share logistics costs or returning commissions in case a customer opens the package and then doesnt want the item.

Instead, sellers say the marketplaces put the blame on them, saying the product they shipped was fake or faulty products leading to return.

In case of a customer return (where the customer has opened the package) we have to (still) pay commission to the platforms. In case of courier return (where packaging is intact), we dont have to pay commission, a seller told ET.

The returns, sellers say, have shot up and are mostly from Uttar Pradesh, where the sellers have stopped shipping in many areas.

Arvind Singhal, chairman of consultant Technopak Advisors, told ET, There could be multiple reasons for this. First, with high penetration of smartphones, there are non-serious buyers who order for the sake of fun, like window shopping on ecommerce sites.

Secondly, he said, in categories such as apparel, footwear, etc, touch and feel could be different from what it looks like on the website.
On the contrary, Amazon and Flipkart said the returns had declined.

Our returns process is designed to create a win-win situation for both our customers as well as sellers, a Flipkart spokesperson said, adding Majority of our sellers have significantly lower return figures compared to the industry. We have an easy return policy for our sellers which ensures prompt returns as well as exchanges.

Likewise, Snapdeal too said that returns had declined.

The returns on the Snapdeal platform have steadily gone down over the last one year due to introduction of various technology upgrades and tighter monitoring of quality aspects, a Snapdeal spokesperson told ET.

Reason Why Dhoni Collects Stumps After His Win!

Hi Viewers,

Reason Why Dhoni Collects Stumps After His Win!

Why dhoni collects stumps
Why dhoni collects stumps

We normally seen aftery every match wins dhini remove the stumps. 
Why.. What is the reason.. I have search the reason regarding this. Here the result which I have get.
MS Dhoni, the Indian cricket chief sounds entirely certain on the eve of T20 crusade. After the persuading win regarding India in the warm-up match against West Indies on Thursday in Kolkata, Dhoni talked about the things that set his group separated and kidded about his propensity for gathering stumps.
At the point when Dhoni was inquired as to why he gathers stumps from the pitch and brings it with him, he says that he has his post-cricket arranges. He says “I don’t mark the stumps that I gather. (Post-retirement) I’d watch the matches, take a gander at the stumps and say ‘alright, this is from that match’. I have enough to keep me possessed for a considerable length of time.” However, there is an alternate hypothesis appended totimes.
Why does Dhoni gather stumps?
Dhoni has given the same answer before as well. Be that as it may, there is a story which relatively few individuals know. The Indian skipper was learning at Shyamali’s DAV Jawahar Vidya Mandir (Ranchi) and that time he had a place with an exceptionally working class gang. He had a closest companion named Kulbinder Singh, the child of his school’s Nepali guard. Around then, Dhoni used to play Badminton and football and wasn’t keen on Cricket. Kulbinder used to play galli cricket with his companions. A between university badminton competition was sorted out by the school and around 50 schools had taken an interest. Dhoni was in the group and he entered the finals as well. He welcomed Kulbinder for review the match. The diversion was in its last stage when Dhoni took a stab at lifting a shot, which prompted the shuttlecock crossing the court and arriving outside the stadium. He lost the match and his mentor was exceptionally furious. Be that as it may, it was Kulbinder who mentally conditioned Dhoni and made him understand his enthusiasm for cricket. Kulbinder is still poor and still Dhoni is obligated to him. He offered lakhs of Rupees to his companion yet Kulbinder didn’t acknowledge cash. Rather he advised Dhoni to get 320 cricket stumps for him so that a wall can be developed around the house. So this is the motivation behind why Dhoni is gathering it.
You would proclaim the story as “fake” after you read it! Be that as it may, this story is doing rounds on all real online networking locales. What is fake and what is genuine can be chosen when the arrival of Dhoni’s biopic on the second of September. In the event that this story is genuine, then I am certain your admiration for Dhoni would build 1000 times

Mark Zuckerberg has one rule for hiring

Hi,
One rule for hiring
One Rule For Hiring

Mark Zuckerberg has one rule for hiring


Mark Zuckerberg will only hire people that he would have as a boss, he said last night.
He described the test when asked what he looks for in a new hire during one of his monthly town hall meetings, this one held in Barcelona.
I will only hire someone to work directly for me if I would work for that person, Zuckerberg said. Its a pretty good test.
The test has seen Zuckerberg hire some of the most famous technology executives in the world. Sheryl Sandberg, for instance, was chosen by Zuckerberg to be chief operating officer at Facebook and is perhaps the most famous woman in the tech world.
Zuckerberg considers Sandberg a mentor, he told the meeting, and said that she has helped make Facebook into a healthy business.
But compared with other similar tech firms, Zuckerbergs staff is relatively small.
The most important thing is to keep your team as small as possible, he said at the meeting. Facebook serves more than a billion people around the world but our team has fewer than 10,000 people. Its only possible because of modern technology. Big companies get bloated.
Mark Zuckerberg told a Q&A audience he doesnt like spending on frivolous decision and that includes his attire
Zuckerberg speaks at the town hall meetings roughly once a month, taking questions from Facebook staff and users. He has run them around the world as well as in the US.
The event was Zuckerbergs second big public appearance from Barcelona this week. At his earlier speech, at the Mobile World Congress, he was widely expected to take on telecom firms over how to get internet access to people around the world. But in fact Zuckerberg mostly talked about making peace with companies with many complaining about his friendly tone and some even falling asleep.
Some telephone network operators are said to be annoyed with internet companies like Facebook, which they see as making huge revenues using networks that the phone companies are forced to invest in.
But the tone at the event was largely friendly, with telecoms firms laying out how they are working with Facebook and what kind of money that is bringing to them.

Railway launches "clean my coach" service


Minister for Railways on Friday launched the 'clean my coach' service where a passenger can request for a dirty coach to be swept and cleaned by sending an SMS on mobile number 58888. Prabhu had announced the scheme in the Rail Budget last month.
The service, which is in keeping with the railways' cleanliness drive 'Swachh Rail Swachh Bharat', was launched from Rail Bhavan through video conferencing in New Delhi/Northern Railway, Mumbai Central/Western Railway and Lucknow Jn/North Eastern Railway.
Under the scheme, a passenger can also use the android app 'Cleanmycoach Indian Railways' or webpage 'cleanmycoach.com' for logging the request, which will be immediately acknowledged via SMS on mobile phone along with a code.
A message will also be sent by the server to the mobile number of On Board House Keeping (OBHS) staff travelling on the same train along with the details of the passenger such as coach number and seat number.
Speaking on the occasion, Prabhu said the railways was connected to every citizen of the country and it was all the more necessary to maintain clean environment  in train& stations. He said dustbins had also been put in the non-AC coaches and that the railway administration and citizens were equally responsible for maintaining cleanliness in and around railway premises.
He said foreign tourists who come to see India, should take good memories of comfort travelling in Indian trains.
Prabhu promised more passenger-friendly measures for a better travelling experience on trains. He said the railways was on the fast track in the field of digitalization, cleanliness, passenger amenities, coach designs, mechanized laundries, on board services and social media.
