Twitter Risks Data Privacy; Whistleblower Levels Serious Allegations

Twitter is arguably the most popular social media platform we have today with few peers that can match up to it. It has been the proverbial platform where millions of users can share their thoughts and feelings while vitriolic folks can vent out their frustration and hatred on the same.

Over the years, the microblogging site has garnered a notoriety for providing space for nefarious elements that spread fake news in a bid to create riots and unrest. It is evident all over the world but none more so than in India.

Twitter has faced many problems and accusations but none as serious as the one we are about to discuss because if the data privacy and security of users is in jeopardy, then no one is going to take things lying down.

Brief Up

India is a country that is replete with religious tensions and Twitter has become the perfect platform for bigots to fuel hatred between two or more communities due to which many accounts have been temporarily suspended or permanently banned.

However, the allegations that Twitter has received now are far more serious and it has come from an inside whistleblower himself, who has claimed, in no uncertain terms, that Twitter has hired many Chinese and Indian agents on its payroll due to which user privacy is now at grave risk.

The whistleblower has claimed that Twitter, knowingly and intentionally, allowed India to add some agents on its private roster thereby providing the country main access to confidential and sensitive data about many users that use the website.

However, what is much more serious is that, he has also claimed that there is at least one agent from the Chinese intelligence service as well that has joined ranks with his Indian counterparts.

The whistleblower has testified in front of the US Senate Committee no less that the agents on their payroll have accessed the system and, by extension, user data that they will use for their nefarious agenda, which has sent many users into panic mode.

The person has claimed further that Twitter has become vulnerable for unscrupulous elements due to its weak cyber defence system due to which ‘thieves, spies, and teenagers’ have exploited it to the fullest extent.

With such serious allegations levelled against it that put its reputation at risk, no one can expect such a big company to take things lying down and dismiss these allegations as unworthy of its attention.

Therefore, Twitter too has put up a defense by claiming that the whistleblower is putting up a false narrative that is ‘riddled with inconsistencies and inaccuracies’ that lack any depth or relevant context and has asked the person to prove his claims.

It has gone on further by claiming that there are no foreign influences on its hiring process while data access is managed through strict measures where everyone has to go through background checks, access controls, monitoring process, detection system at regular intervals among other processes, which is quite complicated in itself.

Conclusion

All in all, there are accusations and counter accusations galore from both sides but no definite conclusion has reached as yet so one can only wait to see where this goes because there are going to be many twists and turns in a complicated matter like this.

Apple is riding high on the success of the newly launched iPhone 14 smartphone models and other devices launched alongside it at the ‘Far Out’ event held in California and even though iPhone 14 series has received mixed reviews because of its design being similar to iPhone 13, it will not prove to be a dent for the company.

The latest buzz doing the rounds is that Apple has acquired a much needed patent for a display material containing self-healing properties, which the company plans to use for all the foldable smartphones it plans to manufacture in the future.

This new material that we are going to mention will be something very different from the regular features that we see in any new device that comes out because it has healing powers galore.

In Brief

We all know how smartphones are prone to dents and scratches due to the carelessness of their owners but with this new material, the display can recover quickly from any such thing from happening.

If this is true, then it will truly be a groundbreaking technology in the field of foldable smartphones that will give it a huge boost in the global market because the unique material used for protecting the display from harm will become a craze as the display will get durability.

If the recent reports are to be believed, the self-healing feature might be included in the cover layer in the display of the foldable smartphone where many are speculating that it may be made of elastomer while the layer itself may be found in the cover display or on full display.

The self-healing material will can fix the cover layer if it is subjected to dents or scratches where users don’t have to intervene to do anything whatsoever. It could be because, as per reports, the cover layer will come with a transparent dielectric layer that has slits filled with an index matching material.

The Infinix Launch Event was held in New Delhi, India on September 16, 2022, is special in many ways as many people got to witness the launch of two new Infinix Smart TVs where everyone got to witness them in full glory.

Infinix, after coming out with outstanding smartphone models, is now foraying into the premium segment of Android TVs. The launch event took place at The Claridges Hotel, New Delhi, which was attended by many dignitaries of the tech industry.

The hotel was very large and was definitely five-star and there could not have been a better place in Delhi to host such an event where two brand new Android Smart TVs were ready to be unveiled in front of the general public.

The sweeping floors were exquisite while the chandelier on top reflected the whole room in its full glory while the banisters on the side glowed like hot iron rods. It was truly a splendid sight that had to be seen to be believed.

Without further ado, let us venture into the highlight of the afternoon where the two Smart TVs where ready to be launched in the presence of many spectators, including tech experts, who witnessed the event with excitement etched across their face.

In Brief

The venue was very large with hundreds of people gathered to witness the launch of two new Smart TVs- Infinix Zero 55 Inch QLED 4K TV and 50 Inch 50×3 4K TV, along with few other smartphones that the company had ready in the pipeline.

Viewers also got a glimpse of the newly launched Infinix Zero Ultra 5G where it was displayed in its full glory where every photographer in the vicinity was wildly taking pictures with his camera so as to capture every portion, every angle of the magnificent device.

Infinix received phenomenal accolades because of its Android Smart TVs not just because of their design but also for the fact that they were available at an affordable price and range and this is a huge achievement for a company known all over as the premium smartphone brand that manufacturers some of the best phones.

The event took place at 12:00pm IST and this was much bigger than the one held last time because this concerned Smart TVs instead of smartphones. When a smartphone brand from TRANSSION Group unveils a line-up of premium Android TVs, it will unleash a wave of excitement among tech experts and common users.

To live up to the expectations of the people of a diverse country like India is a herculean task in of itself and when a company widely known for its smartphones launches Android Smart TVs, the stakes become much higher because the company has so much to lose.

In the midst of it all, Infinix brand has launched its first ever Zero Series Smart TV, which is a 55 inch QLED 4K model that is equipped with breakthrough Quantum DOT technology that possesses excellent features.

Price & Features of Zero 55 QLED

It comes with a starting price of Rs.34,990 that is powered by MediaTek Quad-Core CA-55 Processor where you can avail multiple connectivity options like 3x HDMI (1 ARC Support), 2x USB ports, 5.0 Bluetooth, Wi-Fi b/g/n, one AV input, one Local Area Network (LAN), and one headphone port and dual Wi-Fi band.

It has a 3 side bezel-less screen that is backed by HDR 10+ support and 400 NITS Brightness along with two in-built 36W Box speakers are paired with the TV gives Dolby Digital Audio sound + Two Tweeters.

Apart from this, the Zero 55 inch 50×3 4K TV was also launched alongside its counterpart, which is its flagship model under the already existing X3 series that promises the safest viewing experience with Dolby Audio.

It has a frame-less display that offers HDR 10 compatibility of up to 300 NITS peak brightness so that viewers can get a surreal experience while watching their favourite programs.

It is paired with two 24W box speakers with Dolby audio cinematic surround sound and is powered by Mediatek Quad-Core processor when paired with 1.5GB RAM and 16GB ROM and also has multiple connectivity options like its counterpart- 2x USB ports, 3x HDMI ports, and a dual Wi-Fi band.

Zero 50 Inch 50×3 4K TV comes with a starting price of Rs.24,990 and both smart TVs are expected to go on sale from September 24, 2022, onwards on Flipkart where they will be part of the Big Billion Days Sale offer.

The newly launched Android TVs are loaded with built-in Chromecast that provide connectivity in a seamless manner where you can watch your favourite streaming apps for movies or series from Amazon Prime, Netflix, YouTube, and more than 5000 of them from the Play store.

Conclusion

All in all, Infinix has definitely gone up several notches with the launch of these two Smart TVs that will surely be as well received as the smartphones, which’ll help put Infinix on the global map very soon. The event itself was met with a standing ovation from everyone present.

My Opinion

The event was highly illuminating where I got to witness the many Infinix devices in their full glory but, as mentioned above, the highlight of the event were the newly launched Smart TVs that were the cynosure of all eyes, including mine, where I couldn’t help but marvel at the design, features, specifics, and sat enraptured for the whole event.

You can always count on Apple to come up with something innovative every now and then with the most recent example being the iPhone 14 series being launched at the ‘Far Out’ event on September 7, 2022, which was held in California where, apart from iPhone 14, many other Apple devices were launched as well.

Although the iPhone 14 series of smartphones received mixed reviews, including one from Steve Jobs’ daughter, the other devices were rather well received, which bodes well for its upcoming devices as well.

The company is going better and better as the latest buzz is that it will collaborate with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) where it will utilize its 2^nd generation 3nm process for its M3 and A17 chips.

Brief Summary

It is because these chips are going to feature in the upcoming iPhones and Mac laptops that are scheduled to come out in 2023 but right now the chips are under production so it will take a specific amount of time to complete the testing phase.

N3E is the name for the TSMC-developed 2^nd Generation 3nm process that is highly enhanced in nature that guarantees to offer an improved performance along with a high level of efficiency in energy when compared to the process chips of the previous generation.

Apple considers the new chips useful which is why it is going to use N3 3nm process for its upcoming iPad models as well although the name of all the models are yet to be specified and maybe be revealed in due course by the company itself but it is certain that they will be equipped with these chipsets.

There is a strong buzz that the new A17 chips will be featured only in those iPhone models that are to be released in 2023, which is similar to the iPhone 14 series launched on September 7.

For the unversed, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max featured the A16 Bionic SoC while iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus featured the A15 Bionic SoC chipset from the previous generation.

When it comes to the best action adventure mobile games that have come out in the past decade, Garena Free Fire Max will always find a place in the top 10 or top 5 list, sometimes even top 3.

5G technology will completely transform the online streaming and entertainment experience of users. Mobile entertainment is projected to bring around Rs 8,95,589M in revenue in 2026 says Sanjay Baweja , MD & Global CEO OnMobile Global in an interview with Divya Mohindroo .

Sanjay Baweja had been associated with OnMobile Global Limited as an Independent Director on the Board from September 8, 2015 till May 29, 2020. Prior to taking up charge as MD & Global CEO of the organisation, Sanjay was the CFO from June’20 to Oct’21.

“OnMobile” sounds very niche, so we are keen to know the story it summarizes with its name!

The vision of our company was to enable access to every mobile phone on the planet with products and services that were then considered ahead of their time. We had products based on music, movies, and cricket on the mobile phone.

So, the change from Onscan technologies to OnMobile made pure business sense and drove the vision of what we were trying to accomplish. Also, as we believe in evolving with time and changing for the better, we are now focusing on OnMobile’s journey to become a leading player in the mobile gaming and entertainment business.

Please explain how OnMobile is affecting people’s lives with its market presence.

‘Mobile gaming and entertainment for all users’ is what we strive to achieve day in and day out. We keep people entertained during their free time, creating positive vibes and relaxing minds which is good for mental health.

We bring people together with our new Gaming products like Challenges Arena, a mobile quiz gaming product and ONMO, a social esports mobile gaming platform, along with our Legacy products which include Ring Back Tones, Videos & Contests.

What are OnMobile’s key milestones and how is it planning to expand in India?

We launched Challenges Arena, a quiz, puzzle and trivia mobile gaming product, in 2021, and it has shown significant traction and unprecedented growth. This year, we launched ONMO, our D2C social esports mobile gaming platform.

We are gearing up for a complete transformation into a mobile gaming and entertainment company and consolidating our new product positioning across the two segments.

How is the market experience for OnMobile in India, in terms of market acceptance, branding, competition, and market penetration, according to the given business scenario?

OnMobile has a deep relationship with customers in India, and it is the 2^nd largest market for OnMobile after Spain. India is a very competitive market, and we put dedicated focus and effort into product innovation aligned to customer needs and relationships to stay ahead of the competition.

Where does OnMobile anticipate the immense opportunity, in India or in the international markets?

ONMO, our social esports mobile gaming platform, was launched in India first, but over the longer term, we will be launching it across Europe, the US, and Canada, and we will see most of our revenue from these western markets. For B2B gaming, both Indian and International markets are important to us for our new Gaming platforms.

Indian market allows us to offer Gaming services to many users through telco partnership, but the ARPU will be low. In contrast, International markets have fewer users with higher ARPU. In the next 2-3 years, we expect India to contribute 30% of our B2B Gaming revenues, and international markets will contribute 70%.

What is OnMobile’s growth strategy for 2022 and how is it contributing to its long-term expansion planning as well?

2021 can be called the start of the transformation for OnMobile. We focused on new products in the B2B-B2C model and made a big move towards D2C with ONMO. We have had tremendous success with our B2B gaming product, Challenges Arena.

We believe this will move us into a revenue growth path, and ONMO will further add to our revenue growth numbers in the coming years. The year 2022 has been our year for consolidation and growth. It has been the year for value creation across the board for all stakeholders, be it our customers, our employees, or our shareholders.

Can you please tell us about Upcoming launches by OnMobile on both the quiz and social esports platforms?

We have launched real money gaming in India on ONMO, our social esports mobile cloud gaming platform with curated short gaming moments. Players can play with real money (INR) on popular formats – multi-player tournaments & battles. We have also launched Beat It Tournaments, where players can beat the highest score and get published.

In our battles, players can challenge another individual 1v1 on a game for cash. With regards to Challenges Arena, our mobile quiz gaming product, we are continuously expanding with new operators in the B2B market.

So as per your market experience, what is the Impact and influence of the pandemic on the consumption of mobile entertainment in India?

Mobile entertainment is projected to bring around Rs 8,95,589M in revenue in 2026. The pandemic changed the data consumption habits of people as everyone was confined to their homes, and internet consumption rose exponentially.

People across all age groups now depend heavily on smartphones for education, work, business and entertainment. The indisputable quality of mobile entertainment is that it is affordable, simple, and easy to consume. Moreover, it has a high bandwidth availability, coveted content, provides security of personal information, and has improved social connectivity in an immersive, faster, and seamless manner.

So now, various mobile entertainment platforms have emerged, allowing people to stream videos and games of their choice.

What is OnMobile’s point of view regarding the Importance of 5G in future and is it going to be an integral part in India?

5G technology will completely transform the online streaming and entertainment experience of users. The 5G-enabled world will create better and more personalized consumer experiences.

Storing content in the cloud with faster access due to low latency with devices and applications tapping into edge cloud computing resources is a major benefit. Positioning our servers in the telecom operator network and providing the cloud gaming experience without anyone having to download anything is an asset.

With our AI, we can identify the moments that drive you the most to curate a tailored gaming experience for everyone. So 5G will be a very different enabler in that sense.

Are there any interesting, latest or upcoming partnerships that market can expect from OnMobile?

We are exploring global partnerships and positioning ourselves globally in the next few quarters. We are currently looking at raising money from the overseas market perspective as the marketing spend will be way more than what we spend in India.

Our aim is that once we get that money, we will be spending it on people who want to look at gaming as a different product line altogether. We already started the journey when we acquired two companies over the last two years: Appland in Sweden and Rob Zero in Montreal.

Appland gives us gaming and streaming technology, whereas Rob Zero gives us the AI mechanism that has helped us create these ONMO moments that give you 30 seconds to a three-minute gaming experience.

WhatsApp is one of the most powerful messaging platforms with billions of people using it worldwide. It is the ultimate when it comes to messaging apps despite receiving competition from the likes of Telegram and Signal.

It has moved on from being a mere tool for sending and receiving messages to becoming a reliable platform to hold online meetings via video calls apart from many other conveniences.

WhatsApp is many things to many people but one thing is for sure is that users cannot imagine to send and receive messages without it despite having many other alternatives like the ones mentioned above.

In Brief

It is rather fortunate for users that such platforms keep coming up with regular updates to cater to the new generation, which is a tough task as the millennial folks become easily bored with a smartphone very quickly.

Many users have complained over the issue of their WhatsApp online status being accessible to others due to which makers have come up with a solution that is currently under testing phase where users can hide their status from public.

Due to the new privacy feature undergoing testing, only a select few beta users can avail it for the time being and once it passes all the tests, it will be made accessible to all WhatsApp users.

The new update will replace the ‘Lase Seen’ tab with ‘Last Seen and online’ tab in the privacy section of the account settings but as of now, the messaging app only alter their last seen status but when the new feature comes out, it will allow users to choose who all can see their Last Seen status and who can’t, and who all can see when they are online.

The makers are yet to specify as to when they can make the new feature be available to the general public but if the latest reports are anything to go by, WhatsApp beta is being rolled out in a gradual phase for Android version 2.22.20.9 where the option to hide status will be included.

Conclusion

As of now, the update is unavailable on Play Store but to access it is quite simple for WhatsApp beta users where they have to first go to ‘Settings’, then click on ‘Account’, then on ‘Privacy’, and finally, ‘Last seen and online’ where they will get the option to show the status to ‘Everyone’ or keep it the same.

The big day has finally arrived after months of wait. 2022 has been an excellent year with many tech brands rolling out one outstanding device after another that have become immensely successful.

After the successful launch of the iPhone 14 series models and other Apple Devices at the ‘Far Out’ event held in California on September 7, 2022, Vivo has decided to give Apple a tough competition as it has also rolled out its brand new Vivo V25 smartphone model.

September 15, 2022, is a day that all Vivo smartphone users will remember as the much awaited smartphone, Vivo V25, was launched with much fanfare and aplomb, which was streamed live for millions of users worldwide.

Vivo is a Chinese multinational technology company that had announced the launch of its new V-series of smartphones some months back. The event was streamed live at 12PM where its price, features, and specifications were revealed to the general public.

Key Features of Vivo V25

One of the best features that Vivo V25 possesses is the 64 megapixel OIS night camera, which is perfect for taking stunning and exquisite photos during nighttime, even when there is a dim light.

It is truly a unique feature as not many smartphones have cameras with such things due to which users constantly complain about on a regular basis but once they take pictures from the camera of Vivo V25, they will stop quibbling altogether.

To add on, the handset also has a 50 Megapixel Eye Automatic Focus selfie camera at the front and that too video, which has to be seen to be believed. Users were amazed when they saw this feature with their own eyes and stood gawking awkwardly.

Users can also avail the Bokeh Flare Portrait mode that offers ‘Natural and dreamlike bokeh’, which provides an exquisite visual effect due to which the photographer needs to know a special shooting technique.

It is one where you first change the camera settings and then use a particular lens so that the lights behind the main picture are out of focus to provide a soft and blurry background so that the picture gets more attention.

The handset will be available in two variants- 8GB RAM + 128 GB storage configuration that will cost Rs.27,999 and 12GB RAM + 256GB storage, which will be available at the price of Rs.31,999.

The Vivo V25 comes with an extended 8GB RAM and is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset, which is an improvement when compared to the previous models and was met with applause from the audience.

However, the feature that viewers were most astonished about was the colour changing Fluorite AG Glass, which changed the colour of the handset in an instant. The two colour options are- Elegant Black and Surfing Blue.

Conclusion

Apart from all these features, the price announcement of the smartphone was met with a great deal of applause from the live audience as they were quite excited to get it at an affordable price.

The device can be pre-booked online from Vivo’s official website and the upcoming Big Billion Days Sale hosted by Flipkart. ICICI, SBI, and, Kotak Mahindra card users can avail a 10% cash back upon purchasing offline.
