A11 Bionic Chipset Killed all the Competition

The iPhone X was launched  with many highlights including Face ID, a Good Looking almost bezel-less OLED display, and a very fast A11 Bionic chipset - something the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus also sport. The SoC has six CPU cores, with the ability to run all of them simultaneously. 

Now, the iPhone X has been put through GeekBench 4, and the single-core and multi-core tests both prove that the chipset is indeed very powerful. The Apple iPhone X beats the competition in the market - like the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Samsung Galaxy S8, and the OnePlus 5, and the Samsung Galaxy S8+ by a fair margin, as seen in this comparison graph. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S8 are being powered by a Exynos 8895 SoC, while the One Plus Five and the Galaxy S8+ are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoCs.

The multi-core scores for the iPhone X are much higher than the rest with the second on the list being the Galaxy Note 8 with 6,784 points, while the iPhone X manages a score of 10,069. The single-core score for the iPhone X is at 4,188, while the iPhone 7 Plus stands second with 3,473 points. The iPhone 7 Plus has an A10 Fusion chip with two high-powered cores and four power-efficient ones, but unlike the A11 which is able to run all cores simultaneously, the last generation one was able to run only one cluster at a time - either the high-powered one or the power-efficient ones.

OnePlus! Oreo Update in Open Beta! Confirmed

A month ago One Plus and One Plus 3T received Android Oreo update through a closed beta program. Good News! is now the update is ready to be tested for those in OnePlus 3/3T Open Beta Program. 

Android Oreo is more visually appealing according to Sources and has different quick settings and Setting areas. If you wanna know more about what in New Android Oreo you can check the Android Oreo Quick Overview from the link Authority Oreo Quick Overview. 

The Oreo update for the One Plus 3/3T is available to download for both the devices in size of 1.4 Gb which you can download from the links given below. You guys have to flash the update as per instructions given. 

As exciting as the news might be, it arrives with a somewhat somber context. Keep in mind that, according to OnePlus, Android Oreo will be the last major Android update for the OnePlus 3 and 3T. Likely because of that, the Open Beta program for the two phones will end after Android Oreo exits beta and makes its way to more users.
Security patches will be released “for the foreseeable future,” but with today’s news, we’re that much closer to the end of the road for the OnePlus 3 and 3T.

Jio Rs.149/- Plan will now provide Unlimited Access (Updated)

Reliance Jio has updated its Rs. 149 prepaid recharge pack to offer unlimited data access to consumers by quietly updating its plans. The Jio Rs. 149 plan, till recently, came with 2GB of data cap, but with the update, users can get unlimited data access even after their 2GB data cap is exhausted. Of course, the speed beyond the 2GB quota would be lower, as is the case with all other Jio plans on offer. This move leaves the Rs. 19 and Rs. 49 plans as the only ones without unlimited Internet access once the FUP is consumed.

The Rs. 149 plan still comes with 2GB FUP for 28 days, but now users can access the Web at 64kbps speed after the high-speed quota is over. Notably, even though Jio has provided customers with unlimited Internet, the post-FUP speed is still lower than that of its other plans – the Rs. 96, Rs. 309 and plans priced higher all offer 128kbps speed, twice that of the Rs. 149 plan, once the data the high-speed is exhausted. 

The Rs. 149 plan costs a little less than half of the popular Rs. 309 plan that offers 56 days of validity and 1GB data per day FUP, and is a lot more lucrative. Even the Rs. 96 plan comes with 7GB of 4G data, even though the validity is just 7 days. The Rs. 149 plan is not available for postpaid consumers of Jio. Calls are free, of course, and the pack comes with Jio apps subscription and free SMSes.

With the updated plan, the Jio Rs. 149 plan has a slight edge over Airtel’s pack at the same price. The Airtel Rs. 149 plan for prepaid users comes with 2GB of data as well, and bundled Airtel-to-Airtel calls.

 Jio Rs.149/- Plan Highlights

• The Jio Rs. 149 plan now offers unlimited Internet access
• Users will get 64kbps speed after the 2GB FUP is consumed
• Airtel also offers a Rs. 149 plan with 2GB bundled data

The Yahoo! Breach was 3 Billion not 1 Billion Accounts

When Yahoo disclosed in December that a billion (yes, billion) of its users' accounts had been compromised in an August 2013 breach, it came as a staggering revelation. Now, 10 months later, the company would like to make a correction: That incident actually exposed three billion accounts—every Yahoo account that existed at the time.

On the one hand, this new information doesn't really change things in a practical sense, because the initial billion account estimate was already enormous—you could safely assume you were impacted—and Yahoo took protective steps for all users in December, like resetting passwords and unencrypted security questions. On the other hand, three billion accounts.

"They are as big as it gets," says Jeremiah Grossman, who worked as an information security officer at Yahoo for two years in the early 2000s and is now the chief of security strategy at SentinelOne. "Maybe Google or maybe Facebook, but the next mega-breach is not going to be orders of magnitude bigger.""

In this case, it took Yahoo three years to discover and disclose the breach, and almost four years to complete the investigation. And let's not confuse all of that with a separate Yahoo breach perpetrated in late 2014, and not disclosed until September 2016, that impacted 500 million accounts. That alone still holds as the second-biggest known breach of all time, in terms of impacted users. (One could argue that the recent Equifax breach, which impacted 145.5 million people, will ultimately have greater negative overall impact because of the particular sensitivity of the data involved.)

The most recent disclosure also comes after Yahoo's recent acquisition by Verizon and subsequent merger with AOL. Disclosing two enormous breaches back to back at the end of 2016 put a strain on the acquisition process, and even reportedly led Verizon to demand a price reduction.

Even though three billion sounds like a dramatic number, Grossman argues that it shouldn't come as a surprise. "To everybody on the outside, it looked to us when we originally read all the information that [the breach] must have impacted all the accounts," he says. The attackers "got so deep in the system, I couldn’t imagine why certain accounts would have been affected and not others."

Yahoo published information about the revision on its Account Security Update page, attempting to clarify the timeline of events. "Subsequent to Yahoo's acquisition by Verizon, and during integration, the company recently obtained new intelligence and now believes, following an investigation with the assistance of outside forensic experts, that all Yahoo user accounts were affected by the August 2013 theft," the company wrote.

The update from Yahoo is a new high—that is to say, a new low—in terms of mega-breach scale. Think of it this way: On Monday, Equifax faced warranted criticism when it revised the number of people affected by its massive data breach from 143 million to 145.5 million. Yahoo's adjustment weighs in at 800 times that. The silver lining, one imagines, is that it quite literally can't get any worse.

MARK ZUKERBERG TO DONATE 49 BILLION DOLLARS

Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan say they will give away 99% of their shares in the company to good causes as they announce the birth of their daughter Max.

 Mark Elliot Zuckerberg is an American computer programmer, Internet entrepreneur, and philanthropist. He is the chairman, chief executive, and co-founder of the social networking website Facebook. 

Born: May 14, 1984 (age 31), White Plains, New York, United States

Height: 1.71 m

Spouse: Priscilla Chan (m. 2012)

Net worth: 35.7 billion USD (2015)

Siblings: Randi Zuckerberg, Arielle Zuckerberg, Donna Zuckerberg

Parents: Karen Kempner, Edward Zuckerberg

Mr Zuckerberg made the announcement in a letter to Max on his Facebook page.
He said they were donating their fortune to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to make the world a better place for Max to grow up in.
The donation amounts to $45bn (£30bn) at Facebook's current value.
However the shares will not be donated to charity immediately, but over the course of the couple's lives.
Were Mr Zuckerberg to give away 99% of his shares immediately, he would still possess hundreds of millions of dollars. Ms Chan's worth has not been documented.
Max was born last week, although her birth was only made public on Tuesday.
In his letter Mr Zuckerberg said the aim of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is "to advance human potential and promote equality for all children in the next generation".
Its initial areas of focus will be personalised learning, curing disease, connecting people and building strong communities.
Mark has made a great Change in the world by doing this, He always tells that he used to live a simple life and he is happy with that. 
The full amount is pledged over the course of Zuckerberg's life, and  the Facebook CEO plans to maintain his majority voting position "for the foreseeable future," according to an SEC filing. In the immediate future, the Initiative will be funded by a series of three annual donations made from the sale of Zuckerberg's stock, at no more than $1 billion each year. Profits made by any of the Initiative's investment will be used for additional work to advance its goals.
The initiative's announcement, which is written as a letter to Zuckerberg and Chan's newborn child, focuses on two central goals: advancing human potential and promoting equality. The first goal is defined as "pushing the boundaries on how great a human life can be," including initiatives on medicine, economic opportunity, and access to information. The second group of projects focus more on alleviating poverty and empowering traditionally underrepresented groups. "Our society must do this not only for justice or charity, but for the greatness of human progress," the letter reads.

 "Our society must do this not only for justice or charity, but for the greatness of human progress."

Those goals fit into a number of charitable projects Zuckerberg and Chan have already engaged in. Last year, the couple pledged $25 million dollars to fight the spread of Ebola, with the explicit aim of preventing a larger public health crisis "like HIV or polio." Zuckerberg also individually donated $100 million to the Newark public school system, although a significant portion of the money was swallowed up by bureaucratic inefficiencies.
Some of the initiative's goals also align with Facebook's Internet.org project, which aims to establish zero-rated internet access in poor countries. "Many of the greatest opportunities for your generation will come from giving everyone access to the internet," the letter reads. "The internet is so important that for every 10 people who gain internet access, about one person is lifted out of poverty and about one new job is created." Other priorities include community education and childhood healthcare.
The project bears significant resemblance to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, another prominent philanthropy effort built on a Silicon Valley fortune. Launched in 2000, the Gates Foundation currently has an endowment of $44 billion, just shy of the donation 
pledged by Zuckerberg and Chan. Zuckerberg partnered with Gates earlier this week to fund clean energy research in the wake of the Paris Climate talks, and have worked together on education initiatives in the past. Melinda Gates has already replied to the couple's post, saying "the example you’re setting today is an inspiration to us and the world."
