Chrome for Android slims down the internet when speeds are slow
If you’ve ever been stuck with slow mobile internet and just wanted to read an article, Google has some mighty good news. It’s about to release a new feature to its Chrome for Android Data Saver mode that will only display text when it senses a slow network. Once a page loads, you can then show all images (above) or specific ones by tapping on them. Google says that the new trick will use up to 70 percent less mobile data on Android devices.

OnePlus now making an iPhone case, comes with a OnePlus X invite inside
OnePlus has begun making its very own sandstone-textured clip-on cases for the iPhone 6/6S. It’s probably one of the best marketing tactics OnePlus has come up with yet, having the message “Get a grip. #NeverSettle” placed on the inside of the case.
This case OnePlus is selling is very special, though. You don’t need an invite to buy one, but when it comes in the mail, it does come with an invite to buy your very own OnePlus X. Some of the invite codes sent out will even let you purchase the limited edition ceramic OnePlus X. Other invite codes are giving away a OnePlus X for free, though your chances on receiving one of these is pretty slim.
The new sandstone iPhone 6S case is identical to the back plate on the OnePlus One and Two. With that in mind, putting this clip-on case makes your iPhone look like one of those aforementioned devices. It’d be nearly unrecognizable from the back if it weren’t for the camera placement on Apple’s devices.

OnePlus is selling the case for $19.99 at their online store. It goes without saying, this is a very nice and sleek case, but it’s difficult to determine how many OnePlus will actually sell to iPhone owners.
OnePlus is doing one thing right: trying to get their name into every corner of the world.

Apple Expands Personal Pickup to Six More European Countries
Apple today expanded its Personal Pickup in-store pickup service to France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and Sweden. The launch of Personal Pickup in Germany was first noted by Macerkopf, and MacRumors subsequently confirmed the wider European expansion of the service.
Personal Pickup allows customers to place an order on the Apple Online Store or Apple Store app and pick it up at a nearby Apple Retail Store, generally within an hour. The service is offered for several Apple products, including Macs, iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs and the Apple Watch.
Apple notifies customers via email or text message when an order is available for in-store pickup with a valid photo ID.
Personal Pickup launched in the U.S. in 2011, but was unavailable elsewhere until last month. The service first expanded to Australia and Canada on November 17 before going live in the United Kingdom three days later.
Personal Pickup has yet to launch in other countries and regions with an Apple retail store presence, including Belgium, Brazil, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.
MacRumors broke the news in early November that Apple was planning an international expansion of Personal Pickup in Australia, France, United Kingdom and other countries, and the service is now live in all of those countries.

Google Hangouts finally supports Apple watch
The latest update for Hangouts on iOS won’t tell you this, but Google’s instant messaging app will play nicely with your Apple Watch now. What the change log does say, however, is that you can now reply to notifications in-line — but that means following up via Apple’s wearable is an option. You can pick from a handful of pre-written responses, but those don’t include canned messages for telling your coworker to bring funky-flavored KitKat bars from Japan to CES. No, that’s where using voice dictation comes in, silly. If your iOS gizmo hasn’t updated yet, we’ve got you covered at the source link below.

Future PS4 games will have more power to play with
It seems the PlayStation 4 is now just a little more powerful than before. At least for game developers, anyway. None of the console’s components have changed — instead it’s being reported that a seventh core has been “unlocked” in the CPU. Until now, six of the PlayStation 4’s eight-core CPU have been dedicated to games, while the remaining two handle the operating system. In all likelihood, this was a conservative setup to ensure consoles ran smoothly at launch. It also gave Sony some wiggle-room if they needed to make any system changes or optimizations. Now, however, it seems the company is happy with the console’s performance and willing to give developers a tad extra power.

Samsung replaces its head of mobile operations
Today Samsung has announced that its head of mobile communications, Shin Jong-Kyun, and another co-chief executive officer, B.K. Yoon, will be stepping back from day-to-day operations. Kyun, a nine year veteran at the company, will be replaced by Koh Dong-Jin, who was involved with the launch of the Galaxy S6 and Note 5.
Shin Jong-Kyun was involved with a lot of the early success of the Galaxy smartphone line and his time at Samsung isn’t over. Kyun will remain as president and co-CEO of the main Samsung electronics mobile division, working on longer term strategies rather than day-to-day operations. Former head of Samsung’s consumer electronics division, Koh Dong-Jin, is making a similar move and will also stay on as a co-CEO of Samsung’s main electronics business.

The announcement comes after another questionable year for Samsung’s mobile division. Although well received by critics and consumers, this year’s Galaxy S6 series has not set a new record for mobile shipments as Shin had expected. In fact, Samsung saw a 38 percent drop in its mobile profits for the launch quarter of the Galaxy S6, as more expensive components and excess unsold stock drove up the division’s costs.

Coupling this misjudge demand with a shrinking global market share and increasing competition from lower cost Chinese rivals, Samsung’s mobile revenue has missed the mark repeatedly in 2015. Although, the company still managed to post a notable boost in overall revenue in Q3, mostly due to its booming semiconductor business.
Samsung’s latest management reconfiguration is the latest in a string of shake-ups in the past twelve months, which also saw three marketing executives resign last year. Perhaps these changes will lead to better fortunes next year.
Xiaomi to release Windows 10 for its Mi 4 later this week
Xiaomi has quickly risen to success on the back of its low cost hardware and heavily customized Android-based operating system but the company is looking to try something new with software. Xiaomi has announced that it will begin offering Windows 10 as an option to Chinese owners of its Mi 4 smartphone starting on December 3rd.
Around nine months ago, Xiaomi and Microsoft announced a development partnership and began working with a small selection of beta testers to trial run Windows 10 on its Mi 4 smartphone. Xiaomi is now ready to offer this software as a public release.
The Mi 4 will not be the first Xiaomi device to offer Microsoft’s mobile operating system. The newly announced Xiaomi Mi Pad 2 also has a version that supports Windows 10 out of the box and a boosted 64GB of internal memory, implying that Xiaomi is looking to support the OS on new devices too.
How it began: Xiaomi testing waters with Microsoft, will let users try out Windows 10
While additional choice is always welcome, it’s not exactly clear what Xiaomi has to gain by offering two operating systems, as the extra support is sure to be resource consuming. Perhaps the company is looking to better cater for the business market, an area that Android could arguable use some improvement in. Additional information may will come to light once the public release goes live. For Microsoft, which has a miniscule share of the smartphone market, a custom ROM for a popular handset is a cost effective way to put its software into a number of consumer’s hands. Especially as the company has minimal manufacturing capabilities after relinquishing control of Nokia.
The public release of Windows 10 for the Mi 4 is going to be interesting to observe and might signify the start of a longer running partnership between the two companies.
Best Online Trading Practices And Forex Strategies
Forex strategies are important for every Forex trader to trade well. The trading guidelines and strategies have to be followed by every trader in order to achieve success in this field. Defined a well planned strategy before you enter into a trade is useful to avoid emotions over the way you perform trade. There are many ways of online trading adapted by the traders and we can broadly categorize them into two ways – technical trading and fundamental trading.
Forex strategies – Trading on technical analysis
Those who use the Forex charts and graphs to identify the potential levels of buying and selling are called technical traders or chartists. Technical analysis takes historical prices and uses it to identify the future trends. The graphs and charts of currency prices with time is used to plot the information. The repetitive patterns are identified and used to predict the future trends. There are many technical tools used in this analysis and the examples are Price chart patterns, Bollinger bands, Fibonacci retracements, Candlestick charts and more.
Trading on fundamental analysis of the market
This is also referred to as online trading on any Forex news released. This involves the study of events and News relating to the economy of the country to which the currency belongs in order to determine the trade opportunities. The traders who use Forex strategies related to fundamental analysis are termed as fundamentalists. They keep a close watch on the changes in the indicators for the economy which are interest rates, inflation, employment rates and many others. Being alert to the economic news released and the close attention to the timings is required for a fundamentalist to succeed.
What are the online trading disciplines which a Forex trader should follow?
A Forex trader can never be successful if he does not follow the online trading discipline in this field. It is very important to be a smart and disciplined trader if you want to remain in a profitable position for a long time in the Forex trading field.
- It requires discipline of sticking to successful Forex strategies to be successful.
- Whatever is the direction of the trade, the worst thing which is done by a trader is to act without thinking and react emotionally. This only brings losses.
- If you have entered into a trade with your best analysis done before and still the trade goes against your plans, the best thing is to cut your losses and move on.
- Randomly buying and selling in any fluctuation in the market is not a good Forex strategy and it is a good way to lose money rather.
- Use of stop-losses into the orders you execute is a good way of protecting your investment.

Omate Rise is a circular Android 3G smartwatch for just $200
Omate probably isn’t the first brand that comes to mind when you think of smartwatches, but the truth is it was one of the first to launch a 3G-enabled smartwatch. It’s been over two years since then but such devices have yet to fully take off, not to mention that LG has recently canned its latest LTE watch. But that’s good news for Omate who is launching the Rise, a $200 fully circular smartwatch, via Indiegogo on December 7th. Much like its predecessor, the Rise runs on full Android 5.1 (customized with Omate’s new OUI 4.0) instead of Android Wear, meaning you can side load any regular Android app — including all the missing Google Play services — onto it. But of course, you’ll have to get used to poking around on that 1.3-inch, 360 x 360 round LCD. Additionally, the Rise also works as a notification watch with phones running on either iOS 9 or Android 4.4 and above.
