iPhone 8, Samsung Galaxy S8 beware! LG V30 is a killer device with dual-selfie camera, SD835, 6GB RAM

Technology

Everybody is talking about Apple iPhone 8 and Samsung Galaxy S8, but LG has a really great device up its sleeve. LG V30 is going to be a killer flagship from the company to stand right next to the Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8 this year. Following the success of LG V20, we can expect LG to make the V30 entirely premium with top-notch features. The handset is due for release sometime in the second half of this year, giving it enough time to pack it with the best features in the market. A recent report revealed that LG is planning to use a Snapdragon 821 chipset for its G6 smartphone, which does not bode well for the flagship tag. But the leaked specs of LG V30 suggest it will carry the flagship label this year and pass it along to the future variants of the V series. A Weibo post shared by a m...

Delhi man run over multiple times: What has made bystanders in our cities so insensitive?

Delhi

If reports are to be believed a 35-year-old man’s badly mutilated corpse was discovered on a busy stretch in south Delhi, who might have been run over by multiple vehicles. The autopsy reports have suggested that dead person, who is yet to be identified, had been either been hit by a heavy vehicle, such as a 16-wheel truck vehicle, and dragged along for several metres or possibly crushed by multiple vehicles as his injured body lay on the road. One really wonders if no one cared to stop and do anything? If only such an accident could be written off as a once in a while anomaly. In another incident of shocking public apathy on February 1, 18-year-old Anwar Ali, whose bicycle was hit by a bus, bled to death on a road in Karnataka as several bystanders simply watched and clicked photos of hi...

Those Who Think Jack Could’ve Survived In ‘Titanic’ Are Full Of Shit: James

Entertainment

The ultimate takeaway by people who have watched ‘Titanic’ was the disappointment of Jack not surviving. Their reason? There was enough room on the raft if Rose could’ve scooched a bit and made some room for him. Not only have fans come up with extremely vivid and descriptive theories, but some have taken the next step of practically demonstrating the same. Sample the Mythbusters' episode dedicated to the same. To all those who think that Jack could’ve lived, James Cameron has to say an unsaid fuck you. In a recent interview with The Daily Beast, Cameron spoke of how the ending was simple and there’s no debate. “We’re gonna go there?

DRDO confirms India is in talks with Vietnam for first missile sale

National

India is in talks to sell short range surface-to-air missiles to Vietnam, the head of India’s defence research agency said on Wednesday, in what would be its first transfer of such weapons to the Southeast Asian country. India has been helping the Vietnamese military with training and patrol vessels, but a further deepening of ties with missile sales could draw criticism from China that has been locked in a territorial dispute with Hanoi in the South China Sea. New Delhi is currently talking to a number of countries for sales of its surface-to-air Akash missiles, said S Christopher, chairman of state-run Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The move is in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s push to establish India as an arms exporter. “We are talking to coun...
