Performance Review
Google

Highlights

  • Google is reportedly planning to fire as many as 10000 underperforming employees.
  • The Big Tech company plans to get rid of nearly 6 per cent of its workforce.
  • Google plans to evaluate the performance of its employees.

In Brief

It seems Google is not going to take things lightly anymore when it comes to the competence of its employees. In the light of Elon Musk issuing a whip to Twitter employees to pull up their socks and start working 40 hours a week, Google seems to fancy stepping into Musk’s shoes.

Google will now be following the footsteps of its rival tech giants like Meta, Twitter, and Amazon, by firing as many as 10,000 underperforming and incompetent employees, which is around 6% of the total workforce that the company possesses under such dire global economic conditions.

The past few months have been quite rough for the employees of the aforementioned companies as many of them have been shown the door, but objectively speaking, it is their own incompetence and laziness that is to blame for such a thing happening to them.

If the latest reports are anything to go by, it seems that Google is going for a performance evaluation and review for which it is conducting a new ranking and improvement plant where its employees can work on their performance and improve them significantly.

However, the main purpose of this performance management system is to weed out employees that are no good and underperforming as the company has to bear the brunt of their worthlessness.

Performance Review

Once these employees are identified they will be asked to leave the company by the start of 2023, which is why this performance management system will come with a rating option so that team members can be rated accordingly as per their performance so that their bonuses and stock grants are fixed.

Needless to say, even in big tech companies, there are many employees that are slacking out at work or are putting in little to no effort to get the job done but thanks to this performance management system, managers can rate the employees and avoid giving them any bonus.

Alphabet is the parental company of Google that hasn’t yet confirmed the news of any layoffs as yet but CEO Sunder Pichai had hinted that this would happen around mid-2022, as present day events too are pointing towards the same.

Pichai had recently clarified in an LA Code Conference that the increase in employee count had gradually slowed down the company’s growth for which he had planned to improve things so as to make the organization increase its productivity by at least 20%.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, Google is just like any multinational organization whose main aim is to grow and sustain itself in the tech world where there is cut-throat competition from all corners.

Just like any other company, Google had also hired dozens of employees during the Covid-19 pandemic but is now experiencing financial setbacks due to their employees’ incompetence, for which Pichai warned them to start becoming serious with their work.

Hopefully, his warnings may have fallen on fruitful ears due to which serious employees will start doing their work and yield positive results in the near future in order to avoid risking their jobs.

iPhone 15 Could Come with an iPhone 5C-like Curved Design

iPhone 15

Numerous leaks, rumours and speculations always precede an official iPhone launch. And the story is not changing for iPhone 15 either. The model has already been speculated about so much that by now we pretty much have a decent idea of how the upcoming Apple device is going to be. The latest leak to join the series of rumours is that the next generation iPhone is most likely to adopt the iPhone 5C design and go with a curved side frame back panel. It is also been speculated that the brand might use titanium for the body of the iPhone 15 instead of stainless steel. This latest leak, however, comes from one of the trusted leakster and thus, most tech bloggers and enthusiasts are taking it as a confirmation.

Reliable tech tipsters ShrimpApplePro was the first person on Twitter to suggest that the Cupertino giant is planning to adopt a curved side frame back panel for the next-gen iPhone instead of options such as the flat back panel we have seen in iPhone 12.

Tech enthusiast and leakster ShrimpApplePro tweeted the leak on the official handle @VNchocoTaco and wrote, “So the new iPhone 15, from the early information that I have, the iPhone 15 will feature a new border design. The back edge corner (as pointed out in the images) will be rounded and not square anymore. The material also will be titanium. Still very early to take it as it is.” Adding more speculations about its similarity to 5C, ShrimpApplePro also tweeted, “So like the 5C? Idk. Will keep looking into it.” ShrimpApplePro also posted a few renders of the devices, however, nothing can be said with utmost confirmation at the moment.

iPhone 15

Although it is still only a leak or rumour and nothing can be said with utmost certainty, the similarity with the curved edges of the iPhone 5C for the next model should be a surprise for those who haave been following the brand for some time. Apple has been hinting at this as the MacBook Pro and old-gen iPhone also was launched with the same design fundamentals.

One of the best examples of this is the decade-old iPhone 5C, which was launched with a curved back and a flat display. If indeed the leak is accurate, then those waiting for the next generation iPhone should expect the brand to page out of its old playbook while making the device a lot more premium.

This will not be the first time the brand might go back to its older designs though. Even the flat body style of its latest series is extremely similar to an earlier user favourite iPhone 5 and 5S. In fact, even the curved frame design was first seen in iPhone 6, a design that reached its peak with iPhone 11.

Coming back to other leaks and rumours about iPhone 15, it is already speculated that the model will have an Apple A14 Bionic | 8 GB processor, a 6.1 inches display, a 12 MP + 12 MP rear camera setup, a 12 MP selfie camera and 4200 mAh battery among other features.

Thunderbolts

After dealing with years of rumours and speculations about the development of this project, fans could finally take a sigh of relief when Marvel’s Thunderbolts was officially confirmed. However, an official confirmation didn’t mean that the wave of speculations died down because as far as we can tell, things around the project are still not clear. So, we are bringing to you everything that we know about one of the most hotly anticipated MCU movies, Thunderbolts and its cast, trailer, and release date among other details.

The official word on the project was revealed during the recently concluded San Diego Comic-Con 2022. The President of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige disclosed the schedule of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the next few years, which has a complete slate of movies and series lined up for the fans. It includes projects for the rest of Phase 4 and the upcoming Phase 5. While every other show and movie was announced, the anti-hero team of the Thunderbolts Phase 5 was confirmed, along with the plan of their own movie in 2024.

As per the confirmation during San Diego Comic-Con 2022, Marvel’s Thunderbolts is slated for a July 26th, 2024 premiere. The plan also discloses that the movie will hit the streaming platform, Disney Plus after 45 days of theatrical release.

Another latest official word on the project came from David Harbour. The Stranger Things star plays Red Guardian, a character that made MCU debut with Black Widow in 2021. Harbour, while speaking to one of the media personnel, said,  “It’s really cool. We introduce a thing that’s super cool. It’s vital. I’m psyched that Julia Louis Dreyfus’ character is going to be, in a bigger way, explored. One of the things you’ll probably know is that me and Florence dynamic will be in there and explored in a way that’s really cool.”

Thunderbolts

While giving more insight into the cast of Thunderbold, Harbour further said, “all these guys, Sebastian’s character, Wyatt’s character, I just love this mercenary element in the MCU. MCU has always been sort of elevated in a certain way. Captain America, even Iron Man, although he has egos, is always in it for the right reasons or ultimately does the right thing. And I like these guys who are a bunch of losers or a bunch of guys who can’t quite get it right. And so far what they’ve pitched me just feels really cool.”

As for the cast, Marvel fans will be excited to know that a lot of their favourite characters will mark a return with Thunderbolts. While not the entire list of the cast is out yet, below are some of the characters that are confirmed as of now:

  • Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan)
  • Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh)
  • Val (Julia Louis-Dreyfus)
  • Red Guardian (David Harbour)
  • Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko)
  • US Agent (Wyatt Russell)
  • Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen)

Now that the official word of confirmation has arrived, the next thing that every Marvel fan would be waiting for is the trailer release. For a project that is slated to hit the screen in mid-2024, a trailer can be expected somewhere around early 2024. However, this is mere speculation as Marvel has not provided any official date or timeline for the trailer release.

Moto X40

While the speculations around Motorola launching Moto X40 soon in the Chinese market are high, the device had its AnTuTu benchmark scores revealed recently. Lenovo Group General Manager for Mobile Division Chen Jin recently revealed that Moto X40 has scored a whopping 1312901 points in the AnTuTu benchmark test.

The results have tech enthusiasts excited since this is a much higher score than the 12661012 points scored by MediaTek Dimensity 9200 in the same test. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered Moto X40 is one of the first few smartphones that are being launched with the processor. MediaTek Dimensity 9200 is a segment rival of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and such difference in their AnTuTu scores definitely pose the latter as a clear winner.

Chen Jin made the revelation by sharing a screenshot of the AnTuTu benchmark scoreboard of the Moto X40. This score in itself gives a basic idea of what the users should expect from Qualcomm’s flagship SoC. The scores make it quite evident that Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 would perform a tad better in comparison to the MediaTek Dimensity 9200.

As mentioned earlier, Moto X40 is one of the first few devices to have been powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.  Other than Moto X40, there is Vivo X90 Pro+, the iQOO 11 lineup, the Xiaomi 13 series, and also the OnePlus 11 to come out with the same processor this year. All these smartphones are going to be the flagship devices of the respective brands. Similar to Moto X40, all these devices will also record their AnTuTu score in order to give customers a clear idea of what to expect from them.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor is basically a 4nm chip that features 2.8GHz 2 x Kryo Cortex-A715 performance cores, a 3.2GHz Cortex-X3 prime core, 2.8GHz 2 x Kryo Cortex-A510 performance cores, and 2.0GHz Kryo efficiency cores.

Moto X40

Although there is still some time before we will get to see the full reveal of the Moto X40 and its specifications, the rumours mill has been doing its job. If several leaks and tips are to be believed, the device will sport a 6.67 inch OLED FHD+ resolution display, 10-bit colours with curved edges on all four sides. After the device was spotted at TENAA, many tech bloggers speculated that Moto X40 will have under display fingerprint scanner and will most likely run on the Android 13 OS based MY UI 5.0.

Other rumoured features of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered Moto X40 include up to 18 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 512 GB of internal storage, a heavy duty 5,000mAh battery capacity couple with 68W fast charging. Moto X40 will be further equipped with a triple rear camera setup with a 50 megapixel (main) + 50 megapixel (ultra-wide) + 12 megapixel (telephoto) on the back. It will have a 60 megapixel selfie camera on the front also. Moreover, the latest Qualcomm flagship chip, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, provides up to 8K video capture capability along with playback. The smartphone, however, only supports up to 4K display.

Madras HC Restrains TV, Internet Service Providers from Streaming FIFA 2022

Highlights

  • FIFA World Cup 2022 began on November 20
  • Viacom-18 bagged the official broadcasting rights for the FIFA World Cup
  • The court’s interim injunction shall operate for a period of four weeks

In Brief

FIFA World Cup 2022 kicked off on November 20, 2022 with much fanfare and adulation among football enthusiasts for whom this is no less than a festival that they can enjoy once every four years.

India has no dearth of football aficionados either because there is enough home-grown talent here that can easily be compared to the best of international footballers.

But FIFA World Cup is, after all, FIFA World Cup that has a massive fan following in India because the sheer volume of people watching FIFA World Cup on their Smart TV’s and online is too big to be measured, which was expected to be the same in 2022 as well.

However, the Madras High Court has restrained the internet service providers and TV Cables in certain countries from telecasting football matches that will take place at the Qatar-based world cup, which will surely spell bad news for FIFA lovers.

This year, Viacom-18 Media has bagged the official broadcasting rights for FIFA World Cup 2022 and has now filed a civil suit in court to remove the ban but the Madras HC has passed interim orders on the application that arose from the suit.

As soon as the court granted the injunction, there has been a prima facie case that has been made by the petitioner, who is the copyright owner in the FIFA event and he feels that there will be no compensation parameter for him due to the telecast of the world cup.

FIFA

Madras HC has ordered the interim injunction citing copyright infringement as they feel that the restraining order will prevent communication, copying, displaying, transmission, showing, hosting, downloading, or uploading the world cup in any way, shape, or form.

Due to this, the court feels that it is necessary to block web pages/websites whenever the situation calls for it and this is one such situation where the interim injunction is necessary, the time period of which is four weeks, which is up to December 16, 2022.

Countries like India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, among others had gained the license and media rights, like exclusive TV, Radio, and mobile transmission rights to telecast FIFA World Cup 2022 in these territories by the Federation Internationale De Football Association (FIFA).

Conclusion

Under the circumstances, there are many cable services and internet service providers that are involved in illegal activities like unauthorized retransmitting, streaming, and recording audio-visual clips and full sports events that can cause huge economic loss and damage to the federation, which is why the restraining order has been initiated.
