It is a feature that, however, had been missing from the first and second generation of Apple’s highly popular true wireless earphones, the AirPods. These relied on a snug fit to keep ambient noise out, rather than generate frequencies to counter them (as happens in ANC).

Google’s latest incremental update, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, is just around the corner and although officials have released a compelling changelog, there are still some things that should be known.

The Cupertino giant has now announced pre-orders for the new MacBooks and had even confirmed the Indian pricing, which has since been revoked for some unknown reasons. But then, the website still mentions the same, so we can assume the final pricing to be similar. And guess what, the price of the top end variant of the Apple MacBook Pro goes over Rs 2,00,000. Precisely speaking the base 13-inch variant of the MacBook Pro with a dual-core Intel core i5 processor with Turbo Boost upto 3....

How Real is a Gaming Console from Apple? There’s no Apple gaming console on the market and the Cupertino company seems to be suffering from that and may plan to remedy that. Is Apple planning to muscle its way into the game world? Well, it’s not actually a gaming console, per se. It’s more like a refocused old gadget with an extra improvement attached to it. Reliable sources from Cult of Mac claim that a new TV set will be launched during the year to come that will come packed with a new Apple Kinect-like video game console....

AppShaker is a very simple app which does exactly what it promises. The good thing is, it runs as a background service waiting for any potential shakes on your smartphone. It makes use of the accelerometer, which has become a standard feature of many android smartphones. You can even select and calibrate the sensitivity of the shake through the settings screen. The developer claims that they have designed AppShaker to consume so less battery and memory, such that you will not even notice it running in the background!...

In most cases, the easiest way to achieve this is to purchase appropriate hardware or use software to modify the sound. Of the two, while the former clearly has an upper edge, it comes at a significantly high price—literally.
