Elon Musk Plans To Make Twitter A Part Of ‘X, The Everything App’ After Agreeing To Complete $44 Billion Deal

by

Elon Musk has agreed to complete the $44 billion Twitter acquisition deal and soon after this, his first public statement suggests that the billionaire has plans to create an app named X which will take over Twitter. His tweet read as “Buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app”

Some twitter employees had revealed earlier that Musk had plans of creating a “super app” from the start. The Tesla CEO had a bank named X.com which was later merged with PayPal Holdings in 2000. PayPal was then bought by eBay Inc. for $1.5 billion in 2002 and Musk had invested money in Tesla and SpaceX.

Elon Musk established a company named X Holding when he first got into the $44 billion deal. Twitter would come under this company once the billionaire successfully acquires it. Musk had refused to go ahead with the deal as he said that he didn’t get enough information about the bot accounts and Twitter had issued a legal battle against the Tesla CEO.

However, just two weeks ahead of the Delaware Chancery Court trial, Elon Musk wrote a letter to the executives of the social media platform saying that he will agree to complete the Twitter acquisition deal if the company drops all legal charges. Elon Musk’s tweet suggests that a “super app” named “X, the everything app” is going to come following the $44 billion Twitter buyout deal.

LED TV Explosion In Uttar Pradesh Kills 16 Year-Old; Others Injured And Frenzied As Wall Collapses

by

An LED TV exploded at a house in Uttar Pradesh where a 16 year old teen died and his mother and sister-in-law got injured. The wall and the concrete slabs collapsed due to the explosion which led to panic among neighbours. One of the neighbours thought that a cylinder might have exploded and they all “came running out”.

Omendra, a 16 year old boy, who died in an LED TV explosion was sitting with his mother, sister-in-law and his friend, Karan when the incident happened. Severe shrapnel injuries were spotted on the face, neck and chest. He was in a critical condition when he was being taken to a hospital while his mother and his friend are currently being treated.

Teen’s sister-in-law, Monica, said that the LED TV explosion shook the entire house and the walls collapsed. She was sitting in another room when the incident happened. Gyanendra Singh, Ghaziabad police officer, said that two women and two boys were injured and one of them died. He further said that the “initial investigation shows the LED TV mounted on the wall exploded”.

The 16 year old boy, Omendra, took his last breath in the hospital while his mother and friend are currently undergoing treatment. The victims’ neighbour, vinita, said that she heard a loud noise and thought that a “cylinder has exploded” and “came running out”.

Elon Musk is apparently buying Twitter again, says sources

by

It seems Elon Musk is once again buying Twitter.

According to sources close to the negotiations, Musk is now willing to honor the original deal to acquire Twitter for $54.20 a share, valuing Twitter at $44 billion.

This latest decision from Musk comes after the billionaire announced he would buy the social media platform in April and then proceeded to try to back out of the binding agreement in July. Twitter sued Musk for breaching the deal and the two sides were set to meet in court this month.

However, Twitter has not outright accepted the offer, which was drafted on Monday and sent to the company overnight. There is “distrust” on both sides so Twitter is proceeding cautiously with the proposal.

What caused Musk’s change of heart? While it’s unclear as of now, frankly, Musk was going to end up paying out a lot of money in court to try and squash this legally binding agreement. If he was going to pay anyway, perhaps Musk thought he might as well get the company in the process. 

As an added bonus for Musk, his text messages about the deal will no longer be made public if the case is settled. Last week, a selection of Musk’s private texts were made available as part of the lawsuit. Some texts were quite embarrassing for not only Musk, but the tech executives, venture capitalists, and celebrities he was texting with. More of these revealing texts would undoubtedly come out as the court battle continued.

Musk does have a habit of talking a big game and failing to deliver, so we will know very soon if this latest offer is sincere. And Twitter can still decide to pass if the company doesn’t believe he’s serious. But, if the deal does finalize, sources say Musk could own Twitter as soon as the end of this month.

The best Apple deals ahead of Amazon’s Prime Day Early Access Sale: MacBooks, iPads, AirPods, and more

by

UPDATE: Oct. 4, 2022, 12:55 PM EDT This post has been updated with the latest Apple markdowns ahead of Prime Day 2.

  • BEST MACBOOK DEAL: The MacBook Pro (M2, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) is Apple’s latest offering in its Pro line at it’s lowest price ever — $1,299 $1,499 (save $200)
  • BEST IPAD DEAL: The 2022 iPad Air (WiFi, 64GB) offers iPad Pro power at a more accessible price point — $559 $599 (save $40)
  • BEST APPLE WATCH DEAL: The Apple Watch SE (40mm, GPS) gives the standard Apple Watch experience without an outrageous Apple Watch price — $239.99 $249 (save $9.01)
  • BEST AIRPODS DEAL: The AirPods Pro (second gen) have improved battery life, ANC, and are on sale for the first time ever — $239 $249 (save $10)

You don’t have to be a diehard Apple fan to know that deals from the brand don’t come around all that often. While it’s still possible to find some Apple sales throughout the year, your best bet for scoring the biggest savings is striking when the shopping holiday iron is hot.

Usually, that would be in July for Amazon Prime Day or in November for Cyber Week, but this year, Amazon threw us a curve ball — the Prime Early Access Sale. The PEAS is a two-day event running from Oct. 11 to Oct. 12, bringing exclusive savings for Prime members, meaning that if you have a Prime account. It is essentially a second Prime Day, and a chance to snag discounted Apple tech before the holiday rush kicks into high gear.

Though we’re still a week out from the official start date, Amazon likes to get ahead of itself, so the deals are already rolling in. So you don’t have to sift through them on your own, we’ve rounded up the deals that are actually noteworthy (i.e. the iPads and MacBooks that have been sitting at the same “sale” price for the past four months won’t be on this list). Check back often, as we’ll be keeping track as pricing and availability changes, all the way through the event.

We’re updating this page constantly, so check back often. All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a strikeout were either sold out or no longer available at their sale price when we last looked. Anything marked with a ? has dropped to an all-time low price.

Mac and MacBook deals

Why we like it

When the 256GB M2 MacBook Pro dropped $200 on Amazon earlier this year, it sold out quick. The same could very well happen with the 512GB model, which at $200 off, is the same price as buying the 256GB at full price. Basically, you could get an M2 chip (which is 40% faster than the M1 chip) and double the storage space for free with this deal. And if you’re someone who wants to take advantage of the Pro’s power, we can almost guarantee the extra built-in space will come in handy.

The iPad Air brings “all the key features of the iPad Pro, for less money,” as Mashable senior editor Stan Schroeder wrote in his review. That’s thanks to the M1 chip, the exact same chip found in the Pro (and the 2020 MacBook Pro). It also has 8GB of RAM, a sleek design with plenty of color options, and a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display. Only those looking for more storage should consider the Pro, but for $559, the Air is hard to beat.

The latest Apple Watch SE, released just last month, is experiencing its first price drop.

Plus, the new entry-level Apple Watch comes loaded with the S8 SiP (the same processor found in the new Series 8 watch), plus crash detection and more support for workout metrics.

Samsung Galaxy A54 Tipped To Come With A 50MP Rear Camera In The Affordable Range

by

The Samsung Galaxy A53 smartphone was introduced by Samsung earlier this year. The Samsung Galaxy A54 is anticipated to debut in the first half of 2023 because the firm typically launches A-series devices once every year. Even though the Samsung Galaxy A54 debut is still a few months off, online rumors about the device have already begun to circulate.

SEE ALSO: Google October Event 2022: From Pixel 7 To Pixel Watch, Here’s What To Expect

A recent claim from GalaxyClub, a reliable source for Samsung-related leaks, indicates that the Samsung Galaxy A54 will get a lower-quality camera, at least in terms of resolution. For those who are unaware, Samsung’s Galaxy A52, Galaxy A52 5G, Galaxy A52s 5G, and Galaxy A53 5G all feature 64MP main rear cameras.

On the next Galaxy A54, it appears that the firm plans to swap out the 64MP camera sensor for a 50MP camera. According to GalaxyClub, the precise specifications of this 50MP camera sensor remain unknown, making it unclear which 50MP sensor will be used in the next Samsung Galaxy A54.

According to the rumor, the Samsung Galaxy A54 has the model number SM-A546B and is presently under testing. Additionally, it is said that, like its predecessor, the Galaxy A54 will be powered by an Exynos CPU. For those who don’t know, the Exynos 1280 CPU powers the Samsung Galaxy A53.

The Samsung Galaxy A34 5G and Galaxy A14 5G, with model numbers SM-A346B and SM-A146B, respectively, are also rumored to be in testing with the future Galaxy A54 at the Korean Tech giant. All of these smartphones are anticipated to go on sale in the first half of 2023. In the upcoming weeks, we may anticipate hearing more about these devices.

Watch: Viral Video Of Food Delivery Agent Flies On A Jetpack To Deliver Food; Internet Loses Its Mind

by

A viral video of a food delivery agent delivering some delectable food at a highrise in Saudi Arabia is doing the rounds. The delivery man in the video is flying on a jetpack, maneuvering from one building to the other. The identity of the food delivery company is unknown. Nonetheless the video depicts the growing use of emerging tech in the food delivery biz. Drones are still in pilot mode in a couple of cities. With flying delivery agents, it’s gonna be tough competition for drones. But then both come with risks that are costlier than the food you’ve just ordered at your apartment. Hopefully it remains unaffordable for the greater good of the society.

The video generated quite a buzz on the internet with the usual shipment of memes. Some even compared the delivery exec’s maneuver akin to Green Goblin (from the MCU). Few called the video a fake for seemingly no reflections on the glass panels in the high-rise. Another user wrote that the delivery exec’s insurance could be over the roof! Meanwhile American food delivery chimed in and wrote **takes notes**. Hope they don’t!

Food Delivery and Grocery Delivery are two plum industries right now with a couple of startups raking in billions in revenue. What started as a convenience has become a necessity in big cities with smaller tier 2 and tier 3 cities following suit. It is quite bothersome though that gig workers who take up these jobs don’t have a sustainable, secure job. Pandemic brute-forced many unemployed into this sector unfortunately. Now they’ve nowhere to go. But then who’s to blame? The corporate greed and our collective gluttony will consume the lower middle class and the poorer. *burps in capitalism*

Jio Launches The Most Affordable Laptop “Jio Book” At Rs. 15,000 But It’s Not For Everyone!

by

For the past few years, Jio has been developing a budget-friendly laptop. The Jio laptop, also known as the Jio Book, is now formally launched. The business quietly debuted the Jio Book laptop, but not everyone in the nation has access to it yet. What does that imply, exactly? Only government personnel will now be able to buy the Jio laptop because it is currently on sale on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM).

91Mobiles was the first to notice the listing. Although the item is quoted for Rs 19,500, this may not be the final retail cost. The Jio Book features plastic construction and a Jio branding on the lid in terms of design.

When will everyone be able to access the Jio Book is the question. The business hasn’t officially announced the Jio laptop’s availability yet, though. The Jio laptop was prominently featured during the India Mobile Congress (IMC) event in 2022. This means that everyone will soon be able to own a laptop.

Jio will formally debut the Jio laptop at the same time that it launches 5G services in 4 cities this Diwali, as predicted. For the time being, the Jio laptop may only be purchased via GeM by government personnel. We presume that everyone can purchase the same laptop model with the same set of features and costs.

Reliance Jio claims that India is where the laptop is built. The Jio Book laptop has an 11.6-inch HD display with a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution as far as specs are concerned. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 CPU and Adreno 610 GPU are used to power the laptop.

‘The Kashmir Files’ Director Vivek Agnihotri Buys A Plush Mumbai Apartment Worth Rs 18 Crores

by

‘The Kashmir Files’ director Vivek Agnihotri and wife Pallavi Joshi have bought a plush property in Mumbai. The luxurious apartment is worth Rs. 17.92 crores. Developed by Ecstasy Realty, the sprawling property is located on the 30th floor of Parthenon Towers in Versova (Mumbai). The apartment is spread over a 3,258 sq ft area. It also comes with three car parking slots in the tower.

The value of the property is around Rs 55,000 per sq ft and was registered on September 27, 2022. Vivek Agnihotri paid a stamp duty of Rs 1.07 crore for the apartment. The lavish property comes decked with incredible interior and exterior. The residential tower has amenities like gymnasium, swimming pool and library. The bespoke interior of the house is every bit cozy and comforting.

Vivek’s ‘The Kashmir Files’ has been a blockbuster hit with over Rs 300 crores in profit. The film has been deemed controversial for its take on the valley’s insurgency problem and exodus of Kashmiri Pandits. Unfortunately the buzz has since died out and probably a handful talk about the issues. Agnihotri has been on a directing spree, with movies that are ideologically leaning pro-right wing fundamentalism. He is reportedly working on his next production titled ‘The Delhi Files’ based on the 1984 Sikh Riots.

Agnihotri’s Bollywood journey commenced with Chocolate (2005), a crime thriller. His 2019 film, The Tashkent Files, won two national awards. After the resounding success of ‘The Kashmir Files’ the director and most of the fans were hoping for an Oscar entry. The dream was shattered as Gujarati film Chhello Show was picked as India’s official Oscar entry.

Google October Event 2022: From Pixel 7 To Pixel Watch, Here’s What To Expect

by

This year’s Google fall hardware event is set to be exceptional. Not only will the Pixel 7 make its formal debut at this event, but also the company’s first self-branded wristwatch, the Pixel Watch. But what precisely would such tools contribute? Will there be any other shocks after that? We’re here to inform you of what to anticipate on October 6 when Google starts its broadcast.

The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, two of Google’s newest smartphones, will likely be the main topic of the event. They’ll mostly iterate on the Pixel 6 series, according to an official peek at the I/O conference this spring. Expect a modern yet recognizable design with a smooth metal frame that reaches the camera bar.

A new Tensor G2 chip will also be available, promising enhanced performance for media, voice recognition, and other applications. They will utilize Android 13. The Pixel 6 Pro adds a third back camera, while the original model has two like the standard Pixel 6. But what sort of performance upgrades can you anticipate? The subtle ones, it seems.

According to prototype leaks, the Pixel 7’s base model will include 128GB of initial storage and 8GB of RAM, the same as its predecessor. Several early reports indicate that the Tensor G2 isn’t a significant advancement, with just minor gains in clock rates, power efficiency, and graphics. Kuba Wojciechowski, the developer, asserts that the cameras would mainly remain intact.

If you’re coming from a Pixel 5 or earlier, this year’s phone could be worth the cost, but there may not be many reasons to upgrade from a Pixel 6. When exactly the Pixel 7 range will be available to consumers is uncertain. Google has not specified a release date for the phone, but pre-orders will begin the day of the event. Roland Quant of WinFuture has learned that the devices will begin delivering on October 18, so you might just need to wait a few weeks before the gear gets to you.

Donald Trump Files Lawsuit Against CNN, Seeks $475 Million For Allegedly Being Compared To Hitler By The Network

by

Former US president Donald Trump has sued the Cable News Network (CNN) for defamation. Trump is seeking $475 million in punitive damages from the news network for allegedly maligning and slandering his repute. He said the CNN carried out a ‘campaign of libel and slander’ against him. Trump alleged that CNN used its influence as a leading media outlet to defeat him politically. The lawsuit is filed in US District Court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Trump, during his presidency had repeatedly mocked and attacked liberal media outlets and filed lawsuits against big tech companies. Trump had amassed a huge fan following on Twitter until he was kicked out of the platform on January 6, 2021. He went on to form a social media platform – Truth Social, for the conservatives. However it met with little success. His lawsuit against Twitter was to no avail. His current lawsuit against CNN might be squashed as well. CNN meanwhile has not responded to the news. But their twitter feed suggests otherwise an aggravated bashing of Trump. Sample these.

Donald Trump, in his lawsuit against CNN has claimed that the term ‘The Big Lie’ has Nazi connotations, which was used in reference to him over 7,700 times since January 2021. Other defamatory labels stated in the lawsuit are ‘racist’, ‘Russian lackey’, ‘insurrectionist’, and ultimately ‘Hitler’. The lawsuit has compiled several CNN bites where Trump is allegedly compared to the Nazi dictator.

According to the general consensus, the new Instagram Notes function has received mixed reviews thus far, although it is meant to be a less intrusive method of disseminating information. You can only post one note at a time for the time being; if you publish another before the prior note’s 24 hours have gone, the previous note will be immediately erased. While many people were loving the new function, many others turned to Twitter for a meme fest over it.

How To Use Notes?

Step 1: Install the most recent version of the Instagram app.

Step 2: Start the Instagram app.

Step 3: Go to the DM section right away.

Step 4: Tap “Your Note” in this area. Write down whatever is on your mind.

Step 5: Select Close Friends or Followers you follow back depending on who you want to share your Note with.

Instagram, a messaging app owned by Meta, has also been working on creating a useful safety feature that would prevent users from getting unwanted nude photographs in their direct messages (DMs). According to reports, cyber flashing is a crime that has made it simpler to harass individuals. According to rumors, Instagram is creating a function to protect users from explicit content in order to screen out such behavior online.

Besides, Meta has verified that the function is still in its infancy. The “Nudity Protection” function is comparable to Instagram’s 2021-launched Hidden Words feature. Users will soon have the option to automatically screen direct message requests that include objectionable information.

Elon Musk Schooled By The Internet Over Bizarre Peace Plan To End Ukraine War, Volodymyr Zelenskiy Responds

by

Elon Musk has been an ally of war ravaged Ukraine. As Russians sabotaged Ukrainien comms, Musk provided free internet access to the country via Starlink. But, does that make him an authority on the history and future of Ukraine? The internet’s verdict is – no! His latest tweet in the form of a poll suggests that opinions no matter how well intentioned but ill informed should be zipped. Or maybe do your research before yabbering on the socials? The Tesla boss casually asked in a Yes or No twitter poll with the following options

  • Elections of Russian annexed regions of Ukraine under UN supervision
  • Water supply to Crimea assured
  • Ukraine to remain neutral

Musk’s tweet sure did draw flaks from all quarters. He wrote that a possible albeit unlikely outcome of the war could be a nuclear conflict which means more collateral damage.

Musk further wrote that it is best left on the people of the annexed region, whether they wanna be a part of Ukraine or Russia.

Amid a flurry of his tweets, Musk got his response from the Ukraine Parliament’s official account in the form of an emphatic ‘No’.

The Ukrainian Parliament’s response was followed by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. He tweeted his own poll asking netizens which Musk they liked better. The Pro-Ukrainian Musk or the Pro -Russian Musk.

Elon Musk tweeted a rejoinder stating that he still supports Ukraine but is more concerned about the outcome of the ongoing conflict.

The internet schooled him for being ill informed about the history of Crimea and basically falling unto Russian propaganda.

Responding to some of the tweets, Musk maintained his stance and remarked that peace must prevail. He wrote that he is not looking for popularity. Rather he cares about millions of people who might die in a needless war. Meanwhile the Indian government has kept a neutral stance on Russia’s annexation. Tells a lot about how corporate and politics is effed up on every longitude and latitude that exists.
