What is phone hygiene and how does it affect us?
Our phones have become such an integral part of our lives that we use it almost everywhere we go and in whatever we are doing. We use it while traveling, while lying in bed, while eating food and even while we are in the restroom. During our daily activities, our hands come in contact with many things that have germs and we use our phones with same hands itself. Over the course of time these germs do get accumulated on our phones as well and even if we wash our hands, holding our phones can negate the effect based on how germ infested your phone is. This is why phone hygiene plays a very important part in our health. If your phone was used by someone who is probably sick or carrying a disease that is transmitted by touch and you use the phone after wards, it is possible for you to be affected by it as well.

The Compute stick from Intel is a great proof of concept for mobile-driven x86 computing. Atom chips are now so small that, accompanied by smaller fans, they are now in extremely portable devices like the aptly named compute stick. This small stick turns any HDMI display into a full blown computer, thereby enabling unique use cases. Let’s talk about some of them now.

Netbooks have traditionally been slow and clunky. Marketed as the most affordable way to consume the internet, they were too slow and only mildly productive, when in reality they were used purely for consumption due to their powerlessness. Tablets quickly replaced them to become the new Netbook-style consumption device. But tablets aren’t even mildly productive, they’re just not meant to be, because of the lack of a proper input device that required precision. Some companies tried to solve this problem.

iBall launched the Slide 3G i80, the company’s latest Intel-powered Android tablet in the Slide Performance series recently. We managed to get hold of the tablet, and here’s the unboxing.
We had recently unboxed the NUC Mini PC and showed you how it’s installed and setup, in terms of hardware, but the experience is all in the software. Initially we chose Ubuntu, but a number of errors turned our attention towards the technical preview of Windows 10. We booted the latest image from a pen drive and installed it to realize the device’s primary use case as a media center PC.
Intel demonstrated the “Next Unit of Computing”, or simply called NUC back in 2012 with Sandy Bridge processor. It updated the NUC with Broadwell-U, Intel’s 14 nanometer 5th generation processor at the CES 2015 earlier this year. The NUC is a mini PC in a small square box. It has a processor with graphics, wireless connectivity options such as WiFi, Bluetooth and all the necessary ports to connect a monitor and other peripherals. You just have to insert RAM, 2.5″ or M2.SSD manually, install OS of your choice to start using it. Here we have the unboxing of Intel NUC – NUC5i5RYH with a Intel Core i5 processor.
Intel introduced Compute Stick, a compact HDMI dongle that runs on Windows 8.1 with Bing at the CES 2015 earlier this year. This tiny dongle will transform your TV or monitor with a HDMI port to a full-fledged PC. The Compute Stick also comes in Ubuntu option. Check out the unboxing.

The Micromax Canvas Selfie is one of the first mid range phones to completely embrace the selfie revolution, with the same 13 MP camera on both sides. But as we have seen earlier, megapixels do not always mean better images. So, to find out if the Canvas Selfie is good enough, we pitted it against the HTC Desire 820, a higher-priced mid-range smartphone.
