Looks like Tesla CEO Elon Musk ‘celebrated’ winning a huge defamation case by stepping out in style on the streets of Los Angeles. Musk took out his recently launched Tesla Cybertruck, according to multiple online reports, and was spotted at a tony eatery in Los Angeles. However, there was one issue: Musk ‘banged’ the new Cybertruck as he was getting out of the restaurant. A traffic pylon was kept on the street and Musk while getting out of the restaurant in the Cybertruck, hit it on his way out. It’s possible that Musk didn’t realise he had hit the pylon as he didn’t stop to check, as per videos posted on Twitter by TMZ.

Apple killed the 3.5mm jack in 2016 with the iPhone 7 and it seems that the Cupertino-based tech giant is set to bid adieu to the Lighting port also. According to famous tipster and former KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’s research note with TF International Securities (via MacRumors), Apple is said to launch a “high-end” iPhone without the Lighting port in 2021 that will give the users "completely wireless experience.” An excerpt from Kuo’s note, as per Mac Rumors reads, “Apple will create more differentiation between the highest-end and high- end models. It will benefit the shipment of the highest-end model and iPhone ASP. Among new 2H21 iPhone models, we expect that the highest-end model would cancel the [Lightning] port and provide the completely wireless experience.” Looking at 2019’s lineup, the Pro model iPhones — iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max — are the high-end iPhones. With them, Apple for the first time … [Read more...] about Apple may be working on an iPhone without a charging port

Google rolled out the ‘incognito’ mode for its Google Maps app on Android a couple of months ago, letting users search for places without keeping any history. Now, the same feature has reached iPhone users as well. The ‘incognito’ mode in the iOS version of Google Maps carries the same function and aim. Here too, users can stop the app from tracking them and storing the search history into their Google accounts. “Incognito mode on iOS works the same way it does on Android. While in Incognito mode, the places you search for or navigate to won’t be saved to your Google Account and you won’t see personalized features within Maps, like restaurant recommendations based on dining spots you’ve been to previously. Using Incognito mode on your phone will not update your Location History, so the places you go won’t be saved to your Timeline,” explains Marlo McGriff, product manager of Maps at Google in a blog post. You can simply tap … [Read more...] about Now Google Maps on iPhones won’t save your location history with this new feature

Luck works in ways unimagined. Jacob Ritchie, a PhD scholar at Stanford University, would never have thought that Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page would pay him a visit, and that too while he was in his office, working. The duo recently paid him a visit. It so happens that Ritchie occupies the same office in which Page used to sit in while he himself was a PhD student at Stanford. He met Sergrey Brin at Stanford itself and they went on to create search engine Google. Jacob Ritchie tweeted about the incident saying that the billionaire founders of Google were taking “a trip down memory lane”. Both Sergey Brin and Larry Page recently stepped down from Alphabet, Google’s parent company, handing the reins to current Google CEO Sundar Pichai. One perk of being in the office late on a Friday is that sometimes you get surprise guests. https://t.co/1rC08EmsoM— Jacob Ritchie 🍞📈 (@jwkritchie) 1575700008000 Jacob Ritchie is pursuing his PhD … [Read more...] about Why Google’s billionaire founders paid a surprise visit to a student
