    A couple of weeks ago, ahead of the Sydney Test Australian Pacer Mitchell Starc and wicket-keeper batswoman Alyssa Healy talked about an incredible encounter with Virat Kohli over a decade ago, in a YouTube video.
    “Ellyse Perry and I were sitting there and this guy wandered over to us, this young Indian guy. He didn’t introduce himself. He said ‘hello, how are you?’ and then he said ‘I am the next big thing in Indian cricket’,” said Healy in the video.

    At the time, the two Australian cricketers had taken that Indian cricketer’s words jokingly and simply laughed it off but clearly he meant every bit of it.
    “It was Virat Kohli,” Healy added. “I have never been able to confirm that story but I swear to god that that was Virat.”
    And even though the Australian cricketer left us with an unconfirmed story in that video, asking Kohli to reaffirm her memory, yet another source, closer to home also told the same story to his followers.

    In yet another YouTube video, Ravichandran Ashwin told the exact same story to his subscribers.
    “That tournament was a quadrangular series… The who’s who, the later superstars of world cricket played in that competition. Right after the series was over, there was a dinner and get-together,” Ashwin said.
    “At that time, Virat went and introduced himself to Alyssa Healy. He said ‘Hi, this is Virat Kohli. The next big thing in Indian cricket’,” added the Indian allrounder while talking about the memory he has from that tour.

    Ever since the incriminating video of Steve Smith, who was seen scuffing up the batting guard marks of Rishabh Pant during the 3rd Test, surfaced on social media, cricket pundits and fans continue to share a divided opinion about the incident.
    Tried all tricks including Steve Smith trying to remove Pant's batting guard marks from the crease. Par kuch kaam na aaya. Khaaya peeya kuch nahi, glass toda barana.
    But I am so so proud of the effort of the Indian team today. Seena chonda ho gaya yaar. pic.twitter.com/IfttxRXHeM

    While many felt that Smith was cheating, others opined that it was surely an avoidable incident. 
    The Australian camp has since rallied behind their star batsman claiming that he was just shadow batting before quashing all the claims. 
    Smith, himself, gave an explanation where he revealed that he was just trying to visualise where the Aussie bowlers were bowling on the pitch.
    The Steve Smith incident has caused great debate ... I saw it as a silly thing for him to be doing but i didn’t have it as cheating ...the laws are above ... #OnOn ... What do we all think ?? @ Wilmslow https://t.co/TCMud0cxPU
    — Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) January 12, 2021
    Amid the ongoing debate, two cricket legends, too, were seen engrossed in a fiery spat over the whole episode on social media. 
    It all began when Michael Vaughan tweeted: "The Steve Smith incident has caused great debate...I saw it as a silly thing for him to be doing but i didn't have it as cheating...the laws are above...#OnOn...What do we all think??".
    You’ve lost your marbles Vaughney. I’d be more worried about deliberate time wasting in the modern game.🤷‍♂️
    — Mark Waugh (@juniorwaugh349) January 13, 2021
    Waugh took notice of the former England captain's tweet and replied: "You've lost your marbles Vaughney. I'd be more worried about deliberate time wasting in the modern game".
    Are you struggling to read Junior ... as I have clearly stated it was silly & not cheating but the laws are the laws ... btw let’s see if he continues to do it in Brisbane if he does it all the time :.. #OnOn https://t.co/JoYunJn8X2
    — Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) January 13, 2021
    Soon, Vaughan responded to the Australian batting legend and clarified his stance on the incident before taking a sly dig at Waugh and Smith. 
    "Are you struggling to read Junior...as I have clearly stated it was silly & not cheating but the laws are the laws...btw let's see if he continues to do it in Brisbane if he does it all the time," Vaughan replied.
    While the debate on Smith's antics continues on social media, the cricket action now shifts to Brisbane where India and Australia will be seen locking horns in the fourth and final Test, slated to begin from 15th January.

    WhatsApp has seen a mass exodus of users from around the world to alternative apps, thanks to its recent forceful privacy policies.  

    Users in India and other countries were forced to accept the new terms or face permanent account deletion. The new policies share data and information with other Facebook-owned companies and WhatsApp has clarified what sort of data will be shared.

    Even after WhatsApp’s attempt to clear the smoke around its privacy policies, it isn’t enough to convince users.

    Having said that, one particular region was not forced to accept the new terms and its policies remain unchanged in European countries. This is because European countries enforce a stringent privacy protection law called the “General Data Protection Regulation.” 
    In India, a personal data protection bill is yet to be passed which could be the reason why WhatsApp was so swift at changing its terms.

    In Europe, the GDPR poses heft penalties on companies and service providers that collect more than essential information. Only essential information that is necessary to provide services is permitted for companies to collect. 

    Failure to abide by the GDPR results in a fine of € 20 million or 4% of the annual global turnover of the company. In 2014, Facebook was fined €110 million by the European Commission for misleading users about its WhatsApp acquisition. 
    It was discovered that Facebook staff knew that it was possible to link WhatsApp phone numbers with corresponding Facebook user’s identities.

    It seems like WhatsApp has a different set of rules for countries that regulates privacy protection and for countries that are yet to pass similar acts. 

    India is in dire need of a privacy data protection legislation that will prevent companies like Facebook, WhatsApp and others from collecting any more than essential data required to provide services.
     In India, users, instead, have to prove that their data has been collected without permission or has been used according to the Section 43A of IT Act,2000.

    “There are no changes to WhatsApp's data-sharing practices in Europe arising from this update. It remains the case that WhatsApp does not share European Region WhatsApp user data with Facebook for the purpose of Facebook using this data to improve its products or ads. The latest update to our Privacy Policy is about providing clearer, more detailed information to our users on how and why we use data” Niamh Sweeney, Director of Policy for WhatsApp, Europe said on Twitter.

    India’s new Personal Data Protection Bill is yet to be passed and is pending with the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) since December 2019. The new bill will also be able to implement fines on guilty parties of up to Rs 15 Crore. 
    For now, if you don’t wish to share your data with WhatsApp and other Facebook-owned companies, you can check out these three alternatives that don’t force users to give up their personal information. In addition, Telegram CEO also pointed out that WhatsApp has backdoors and the messaging app “intentionally obfuscate their code, making it impossible to verify their encryption and privacy.”

    Arguably the most famous face of the Indian film industry, Amitabh Bachchan recently tweeted from his official social media handle, drawing his followers’ attention towards an interesting observation.
    T 3782 - An input from Ef laksh ~

    "... and Dhoni also has daughter .. will she be Captain ? '' pic.twitter.com/KubpvdOzjt
    — Amitabh Bachchan (@SrBachchan) January 13, 2021
    The veteran actor’s post implied that most of the famous Indian cricketers have been blessed with daughters with the latest addition of the list in the form of the current captain of the Indian cricket team, Virat Kohli.
    In the caption, he also added a comment by one of his fans which read: "An input from Ef laksh ~"... and Dhoni also has daughter .. will she be Captain?,".
    And it was this part that caught the attention of some of the more critical fans who interpreted it as a suggestion of bringing nepotism to the game of cricket.
    With due respect, it's a National cricket team. The players, whether men or women, are selected based on their talent. Selection is not done based on who is their father or mother. Kindly, don't confuse it with Bollywood entertainers and Nepotism🏻

    You want have nepotism even in cricket? This sports where only talents speaks unlike bully wood (bollywood),” wrote another critic @arin_roy1.
    Actor Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli became first time parents on January 11, 2021 but have been vocal about how they do not wish to raise their child in a public eye. While announcing the birth of their daughter, Kohli said: 
    “We are thrilled to share with you that we have been blessed with a baby girl this afternoon. We thank you all for your love, prayers and good wishes. Anushka and the baby are both healthy and we are feeling beyond blessed to start this new chapter of our lives. We hope that you can respect our privacy at this time. Love, Virat.”

    Forgetting a password can be a harrowing experience but imagine if you cannot access $240 million worth of Bitcoins because you forgot something. That’s exactly what one programmed named Stefan Thomas has to go through as he lost his password to a hard drive that contains $240 million worth of Bitcoin. What’s worse is that he only has two password attempts left before he is locked out forever and loses access to all of the money.

    As per BBC, Thomas was given 7,002 Bitcoins about a decade ago for making a video on how cryptocurrency works. At the time, his Bitcoin was only worth a few dollars each and decided to store them in an IronKey digital wallet on a hard drive. He wrote down the password on a piece of paper that he ended up losing and now can’t remember the password to the digital wallet.

    Thomas has already tried eight possible passwords and now has only two left before the password will "encrypt itself, making the wallet impossible to access."
    Having said that, ex-Facebook security head Alex Stamos has offered to help Thomas unlock the hard drive but at a cost of 10% cut. “Um, for $220M in locked-up Bitcoin, you don't make 10 password guesses but take it to professionals to buy 20 IronKeys and spend six months finding a side-channel or uncapping," Stamos said on a now-deleted Tweet "I'll make it happen for 10%. Call me.”
    Stamos later retracted and mentioned he was just joking but that it is "something that should be investigated.”

    Thomas is not the only one who has been locked out of his Bitcoin wallet and there is currently $140 billion worth of Bitcoin that is either lost or in wallets that cannot be accessed. There’s also a case where an entrepreneur lost around 800 Bitcoins after his laptop was reformatted by a colleague. The laptop contained the private keys to his wallet. 800 Bitcoins is worth around over $30 million today as per the latest update on the exchange rate.

    Thomas is now a bit wary of cryptocurrency "The whole idea of being your own bank - let me put it this way, do you make your own shoes? The reason we have banks is that we don't want to deal with all those things that banks do," Thomas said

    Rumours and leaks in the past have suggested Samsung is planning to follow Apple’s footsteps and remove the charger from the box of its upcoming Galaxy S21 series of smartphones. Samsung will be announcing the new phones later tonight but that did not stop reliable leaker Evan Blass from sharing images of the official Galaxy S21 website. In the images, it confirms that Samsung’s new smartphones will come without a charger in the box.

    Blass tweeted images of what he claims to be the official webpage of the Galaxy S21 and S21 Ultra. Apart form the phone having a new design, hardware and 5G support, the new phone will not have a charger in the box. From a section of the website called “What’s in the box,” it clearly states that the new smartphone will come with “just what you need.” The packing list includes a USB-C cable, the SIM-ejection tool, and a start guide. Samsung also claims that the decision was made to help the environment, similar to Apple’s reading behind the drastic step. 

    “Galaxy S21 5G comes packaged with just what you need — USB Type-C data and charging cable, ejection pin and Quick Start Guide. Just another way of being good to the environment” the website image said.

    Samsung initially made fun of Apple for removing the charger from the box but quickly backtracked by deleting the mocking images shared by one of the company’s social media handles. The post emphasised that Samsung smartphones still come with an included power adapter however it was later deleted once rumours about the Galaxy S21 started to emerge.

    Having said that, it will be far easier for existing Samsung customers to older charger or use third-party chargers as past phones have been bundled with USB-C chargers. Samsung smartphones also support PD + PPE fast-charging protocols which means you will be able to use any third-party power delivery charger with the Galaxy S21.

    Samsung is all set to announce the next Galaxy flagship smartphones later tonight via a live stream on Youtube, Facebook, Twitch and Twitter. The first hands-on images of the phone have also leaked on Twitter before its eventual launch later today. The phone’s design is almost identical to what we’ve seen from leaks where both moth models have multiple camera lenses and a new camera module design. Samsung is also offering pre-order benefits alongside the new Galaxy S21 smartphones according to the website leak. Customers will be able to get the new Galaxy Buds Live and the Galaxy SmartTag for free with pre-orders. Galaxy S21 Ultra customers will get the newly rumoured Galaxy Buds Pro and the Galaxy SmartTag for free with pre-orders.
