    You can hate him or love him, but you can’t ignore controversy’s favourite child Arnab Goswami, Editor-In-Chief of Republic TV. 
    On Wednesday, Arnab Goswami was arrested by the Raigad police in connection with an old abetment to a suicide case. 
    He has been arrested for allegedly abetting the suicide of a 53-year-old interior designer. Anvay Naik, an architect and interior designer had named Goswami in his suicide note and had accused Republic TV of not paying him his dues after he designed the channel's interiors.
    ZeeNews reported that a police official said that an architect and his mother committed suicide in 2018 over alleged non-payment of dues by Republic TV. 
    The senior journalist was sent to 14-day judicial custody by the Alibaug court on Wednesday night.
    Meanwhile, several BJP leaders and Union Ministers condemned Arnab’s arrest as a reminder of the Emergency.
    Landing in controversies is not new for Arnab Goswami. In fact, there are several unexplored facts about Arnab, that many people may not be aware of
    Here is a list of six interesting facts about this fierce journalist that the nation wants to know: 
    1. He Was Accused Of Faking A Car AttackIn 2017, Rajdeep Sardesai had written: “Wow! My friend Arnab claims his car attacked next to CM Res in Guj riots! Truth: he wasn't covering Ahmedabad riots!!"
    Wow! My friend Arnab claims his car attacked next to CM Res in Guj riots! Truth:he wasn't covering Ahmedabad riots!! https://t.co/xOe7zY8rCp
    — Rajdeep Sardesai (@sardesairajdeep) September 19, 2017
    He also tweeted: “Fekugiri has its limits, but seeing this, I feel sorry for my profession." 
    The incident was actually described by Sardesai in his book 2014: The Election That Changed India. He wrote, “The gang wasn't willing to listen. 'Hamein chief minister se matlab nahi, aap log apna identity dikha' (We don't care about the chief minister. Show your identity cards). I showed my official press card and got my cameraperson, Narendra, to play a clip from the interview with Modi. 'Look,' I shouted, 'look at this interview. Can't you see we are journalists?' After fifteen tense minutes and after watching the tape, they seemed to calm down a bit and we were finally allowed to go. 
    Our trembling driver Siraj was in tears. My own fear at a near-death experience was now replaced by a seething rage. If, just a few kilometres from the chief minister's house, Hindu militant gangs were roaming freely on the night of 2 March, then how could the chief minister claim the situation was under control? We were unnerved and visibly shaken. Images of those crazed faces and their shining weapons haunted me for days afterwards."
    2. His Wife Is Also A JournalistSamyabrata Ray Goswami, the wife of Arnab, is also a journalist and news producer who is currently the editor and co-owner of Arnab’s channel. 
    She began her career as a print media journalist and has worked in several publications, such as Anand Bazaar Patrika, Tehelka and Down to Earth. She worked with ABP till Arnab launched Republic TV. 
    She is also known for breaking the news of Sheena Bora being the daughter of Indrani Mukerjea and not sister. 
    3. He Has ‘Y’ Category SecurityArnab’s 'Y' category security includes round-the-clock protection from around 11 personnel and 1 or 2 armed commandos for close proximity protection.
    4. His First Interview Was With Sonia GandhiBeing a journalist, Arnab’s first-ever interview was with Congress leader, Sonia Gandhi. 
    It is this interview that got him accolades for bringing the otherwise reticent Sonia Gandhi for an interview.
    However, on being asked about the one person he tried to interview but failed so far, he said, “As a young reporter, I was able to get Sonia Gandhi’s interview on the tarmac of the Palam Airport. Some short interactions in the years after that. But I would really like the opportunity for a sit-down interview with her."
    5. Debating Was His Passion Right From SchoolKnown for his aggressive style of anchoring, Arnab revealed in an interview that debating was his school hobby. 
    “Earlier, in the studio, I used to have very calm, quiet discussions…so I used to really miss debating. Later, when I got the chance to start a new channel of my own, then I really came back to my old habits. And the last 7-8 years, my hobby, school hobby of debating, has become my career. And I have never enjoyed myself more on a daily basis,” he told a radio channel.

    6. He Loves Bollywood & Occasional ReadingIn one of his earlier interviews with Scroll.in he mentioned that he loves Bollywood besides news. 
    He said, “I love Bollywood. I watched Tanu Weds Manu Returns and loved it. I read, but not as much as I should. Fiction is not really my cup of tea. I am currently lapping up Coomi Kapoor’s book on the Emergency.”
    7. He Hails From A Political FamilyArnab's father, Manoranjan Goswami is a retired Indian Army officer and a BJP member, who has contested as a BJP candidate in the general election, from Guwahati. 
    His paternal grandfather, Rajani Kanta Goswami was a lawyer and Congress leader. And his maternal grandfather, Gauri Sankar Bhattacharya was a communist and leader of the opposition for many years in Assam. 
    However, on being asked about his political leanings, he said, “I never describe myself in definitions because it’s very difficult to do that. The reason I’m telling you this is because socially, I’m very progressive. I’m for LGBT rights, etc. On issues related to India, I’m very conservative. On issues related to the economy, I’m for the free market. On issues related to religion, I myself go to all places of worship, so I’m truly secular in that sense. I’m neither AAPtard, Congi or Sanghi; I’m Arnab. I don’t want to waste my time trying to define myself.”
    Meanwhile, besides the charges of abetment to suicide, Arnab's arrest also comes in the middle of Republic TV's row with the Mumbai Police over its investigation into a ratings scam and allegations that Republic TV is among the three channels involved in manipulating TRPs or Television Rating Points by bribing households metred for viewership.
    Republic TV recently said in a statement: "Arnab Goswami's arrest has been made part of a larger vindictive exercise against an independent journalist and news network."

    Akshay Kumar's movie Laxmii, which was earlier called Laxmmi Bomb, has been in troubled waters for a while now. Several political groups and organizations have stated that the film’s title is an insult to Hindu religion. As per the notice by Karni Sena, the movie is being considered “derogatory” and “offensive” to Goddess Laxmi by the Hindu community. It further claimed that the makers had “deliberately” used the title Laxmmi Bomb with the sole purpose of lowering the “dignity” of and to show “disrespect” towards the goddess.

    Taking that into the consideration, the makers decided to change the name, thinking this will address the situation as people were very annoyed with it. Recently, however, after the song Bambholle was released, many people objected to it alleging that it disrespected Hindu Gods and Goddesses. 
    Well, it seems like the troubles are not going to end anytime soon as today #Ban_Laxmmi_Movie has been trending on Twitter. According to people, just changing the title only solves half of the issue and they are now blaming the movie for promoting Love Jihad.

    The USA has the age-old problem of assuming that the entire world revolved around it, and nothing proves that more than the ongoing US elections.

    But, even then, the presidential fight between Donald Trump and Joe Biden has turned Indians into the mohalle wali aunties who can't mind their own business and just have to know what is going around in the other part of the world. It's pretty amusing, to be honest.

    This would be really funny if it wasn't so sad.

    — Nyus App (@nyus_app) November 4, 2020 I'm so glad we didn't get a sequel of that this time. Back in 2016, while the rest of the world was obsessing over Trump winning US Elections, Modiji decided to come on TV and cancel our currency.

    Sweet sweet memories.
    — Meghnad (@Memeghnad) November 4, 2020 Okay but this fits the situation perfectly. Both Biden and Trump have already declared their victory in #USElection

    — Pakchikpak Raja Babu (@HaramiParindey) November 4, 2020 No, they would've voted for Trump. The kind of interest Indians have in US elections, it's a shame that we are not allowed to vote in their elections.#VOTE
    — Sarcastic Code (@codebite) November 3, 2020 One can hope. I hope Indians show the same enthusiasm they have for US elections when we have our elections
    — Varina (@Varina_s) November 4, 2020 Sounds about right.

    Oops.
    The way Indians are following the US elections and don't even know the candidates of their own state elections 🤭🤭
    — parth (@jock_2210) November 3, 2020 Yep. Indians are more glued to US elections than Bihar
    — Vikram Goel (@VikramGoel13) November 5, 2020 For sure. Seems like Indians are more excited for the US elections y'all should first vote the trash out in your own country
    — Nadia (@Naadiraahmed) November 4, 2020 Conspiracy theory. Yaar last time demonetizaton kar diya, this time they arrested arnab. What is it with Indians wanting to steal us elections' thunder
    — Swara | albert einstein stein acc (@honestlyswara) November 4, 2020 Sad reality. Its funny to see Indians worry about US elections while our backyard is a constant dumpster fire.
    — Naren is on an adventure (@DudeWhoCode) November 4, 2020 Not Prithviraj Chauhan? not the same indians commenting on us elections but ask them of indias president and they will say amit shah
    — ᴮᴱ shroob ⁷ ✜ (@shruburb) November 4, 2020 The tea is really hot. I'm so amused and also angry at people (Indians) who are posting about the US elections so passionately and remain absolutely quiet when there are political disturbances in our own country and have the audacity to say "I'm not interested in politics yaar" like dude **** OFF
    — juhi (@notchawla) November 4, 2020 Funny. Indians are looking at the US elections trend like they gon get American citizenship for free

    — Raj Tiwari (@BritishRaj7) November 4, 2020 Sad. Is it US elections or us (in)elections? The Indians being vocal and enthu about States elections are the same lot of people who don't cast their votes just because it's too hot outside.
    — Abhishek Ranjan (@Abhi_speaks03) November 4, 2020 A far-fetched dream. If Indians only cared as much for their country’s elections and problems as they do for US elections, what a place we could have been in.

    The iPhone 12 Pro is the first smartphone to feature a LiDAR sensor which is capable of measuring distances and mapping the environment. Apple has talked about how the sensor can do wonders with depth information, however there is a new application for the sensor that will soon roll out to the iPhone 12 Pro. The LiDAR sensor can help blind and visually impaired users move around safely as it will protect them from bumping into objects in a new and unfamiliar environment.

    People with visual impairment usually help themselves with a walking stick and a trained ear to get around, however the iPhone 12 pro can now help them even further. In the latest beta version of iOS, a new feature will be rolled out that uses the LiDAR scanner to measure the distance to people and objects. It will be able to detect humans and inanimate objects as well which can then notify blind users of obstructions in their path.

    The new feature will be part of Apple’s ARKit and it will be called “People Occlusion.” It will allow users to put virtual objects and people in augmented reality applications. However, the new feature will also be implanted in the iPhone’s magnifying glass app. When launched, the phone will use the ultra-wide camera and measure distances using the LiDAR sensor. It will then inform users by voice how far away the iPhone is from the object. It will also relay information in a stereo format to connected devices such as the AirPods. If you want to see how the feature will work, check out these videos below:

    Here’s how people detection works in iOS 14.2 beta - the voiceover support is a tiny bit buggy but still super cool https://t.co/vCyX2wYfx3 pic.twitter.com/e8V4zMeC5C

    This is a crazy cool implementation using iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max LiDAR sensors to read the visual world and communicate it to people who need assistance pic.twitter.com/kenD4ibdK0
    — Matthew Panzarino (@panzer) October 30, 2020What do you think about this feature and Apple’s creativity when it comes to using the LiDAR sensor to help visually impaired users? iPhones are quickly becoming the most impactful smartphones in the world, thanks to features that can help make life easier for people with certain conditions. We can expect this feature to roll out in the next iOS 14.2 update once it has been thoroughly tested by beta users.

    A new video uploaded to YouTube shows the iPhone 12 Pro and its capabilities via a real-world speed test. PhoneBuff uploaded the speed test comparison video where they compared the iPhone 12 Pro to the US Galaxy Note 20 Ultra to see how fast it can load apps. The U.S. Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865+ chipset and is the fastest Android smartphone of 2020.

    According to PhoneBuff, it’s been two years since the iPhone has been the fastest smartphone in this specific test. 

    “PhoneBuff notes that it's been 20 months since an iPhone was the fastest smartphone in his tests. And the A14 Bionic chip that is Apple's first built on the 5nm process brings the performance gains to put the iPhone 12 Pro (same chip on all four models) ahead of Samsung's Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.”
    © Youtube_PhoneBuff
    What’s interesting is that the iPhone 12 Pro manages to beat the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra with just half the RAM. It shows that having control over the hardware stack, its own operating system does yield in a far more optimised smartphone. Android smartphones often have bloatware and no control over the Android ecosystem apart from putting their own skin and added features on top. This results in smartphones becoming slower than Apple’s offering every year and the case remains the same in 2020 as well. 

    PhoneBuff said, “For example, Apple's iPhone 12 Pro beat the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra by a touch over 17 seconds across the two rounds of testing and has 6GB RAM compared to the Note's 12GB RAM. The tight integration Apple can do with the new A14 chip, the rest of the iPhone 12 hardware, and iOS remains a strong advantage.”
    If you are interested in watching the speed test for yourself, click on the video below that shows both smartphones opening the same apps at the same time. However, the iPhone 12 Pro gets a significant lead over the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra thanks to the new A14 Bionic chipset.
