Multifaceted too the highest degree: I'm the co-founder of Apps Culture (an app development studio), an amateur golfer, former sport-blogger, now a tech blogger. And all this, while pursuing an undergrad degree in Computer Science in India.
Feb 12th - The Verge has spotted an update on Google TV’s Facebook page, stating “Get ready for Monday, we have some big announcements!”.

Feb 12th - PocketNow reported earlier today that Sprint might be preparing an “Upgrade Now” program. This would allow current users to buy out the rest of their contract and upgrade to a new device for a fee (on a new 2-year agreement). The program is said to last for two months starting today, but we haven’t received …
Feb 12th - At a time when truly unlimited data plans seem like a thing of the past, T-Mobile UK’s announcement to offer it as part of their Full Monty option had people looking for possible loopholes. The most common suggestion was that the speed would be limited to 1 Mbps.But fear not, our British readers, for I …
Feb 12th - Oh Canada! The Galaxy Note launch is tantalizingly close across the border (technically, across half a dozen or so, for me) and the phablet has started arriving at retail locations earlier this morning.Personally, I had the opportunity to play with it at a mall nearby, and though I was impressed with the digitizer, the “Phone? …

Feb 12th - For years custom ROMs such as CyanogenMod have been saviors for us users. They have helped us receive the latest version of our beloved OS long before the manufacturers push it out (and in many cases, even when they didn’t). Yet the move from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich has proved to be extremely frustrating …
Feb 11th - Ever since its inception at a hackathon, late last year, Iris has championed itself as the closest thing to Siri for Android. And things started looking good when Dexetra (the company that created it) announced its partnership with ChaCha. This would allow Siri to gain a content-base to search from, a partnership similar to Wolfram …
Feb 11th - I’m not even going to bother to write about this patent mess. We all know the system is broken, and that any change for the better is not going to dawn upon us any time in the foreseeable future.What I will let you know is the main bullet points: the filing was done at the …
Feb 11th - It’s time for love! And I’m so glad that the companies we’re fond of are showing us some, too. Take Samsung, for example. In a bid to boost their own app store, the Korean manufacturer has announced that it will be offering a number of apps and games for free until the 21st of February.And …

Feb 11th - Over the week, I decided to do a little experiment. Just about every blog on the web has an X-of-the-week post, usually to highlight new apps, YouTube videos, or other similar topics. I’ve decided to start a series of “The apps I uninstalled this week, and why”.Being present in the list does not necessarily mean …
Feb 5th - There are dozens of photo-editing options available in the Android Market (I probably have 7-8 installed in my phone). So when I learnt of Aviary releasing an Android version of their app, I wasn’t too interested in checking it out.I’ve only used it to edit one picture so far, and I’ll come back to share …
Feb 5th - I never use ad-blocks. Not on my phone, or my computer. I completely understand that a developer has put in a ton of effort to create something that I’m using for free, and the least I can do is let them try to make money through advertisements.But I have one golden rule: Keep those ads …
Feb 5th - DISCLAIMER: This bit of news is based from a post on the forums over at The Verge. It is based entirely on rumors.
