Given a chance, would you decline the opportunity of looking at our lookalike in the eye? Probably not. Curiosity gets the better of us when presented with opportunities that promise exciting outcomes. Now, given that people say that at least six other people, besides ourselves, can stand in as our doppelgangers in this world, and research has confirmed that the likelihood of bumping into our doppelganger is only a 1 in a trillion chance, some Bollywood celebrities have been lucky enough to find their lookalikes, not only in this lifetime but in one of the worldâs most popular entertainment industry - Hollywood. Check out these 12 Bollywood celebrities and their Hollywood lookalikes: 1.

Sitting in your comfort zone on your couch and watching a scintillating dance reality show sounds like a good idea, right? I am sure many of you would love to do just that, but what if you have to go watch a reality show in theatres, which, instead of making your heart race, turns out to be completely bland and also burns a hole in your pocket? Yeah, doesn't sound that appealing. Well, Remo DâSouzaâs much-awaited Street Dancer 3D has finally hit the screens and I got to catch a screening of it yesterday. I entered the hall with my head full of expectations because I really liked the ABCD series but I came out of the theatre after experiencing a tedious two-hour non-stop dance drama. Coming to the plot, the basic storyline of the movie is based on two groups in London that are at loggerheads and want to take each other down every time they meet in a dance battle. Yep. Just like every other dance movie there is. View this post on InstagramBoom ð¥ ð¦â¡ï¸ð¤ð¹ #SD3 #streetdancer. Trailer out 1ï¸â£8ï¸â£th dec Only 7ï¸â£ sleeps awayA post shared by (@varundvn) One group, comprising NRIs, is led by Sahej (Varun Dhawan) and the other with Pakistani dancers, is headed by Inayat (Shraddha Kapoor). The movie falls into the clichè category of using the India-Pakistan rivalry and, at times, even uses cricket matches as a metaphor to show their hatred towards each other. View this post on InstagramSheâs a heartbreakerrr ðð¥ðº @shraddhakapoor. The amount of hard work this girl has put into this film is unbelievable. Canât wait for everyone to watch her prove sheâs the best. Hereâs my chirkut in Streetdancer3d trailer out 18 th decA post shared by (@varundvn) Remo also capitalizes on Prabhudeva as you get to see the reprised version of the iconic dance number Muqabla, which is surely one of the main highlights of the movie, however, one groovy song alone doesnât save the movie from falling flat on its face as it flounders without a stable storyline, riddled with gaping holes. View this post on InstagramRhythm is in his DNA 𧬠#StreetDancer3D trailer on 18th Dec. #prabhudevaA post shared by (@varundvn) The movie does touch upon a sensitive matter, for which I do appreciate the makers, as it shows the plight of immigrants in London who have been waiting to back home and guess what? One of the immigrants is played by Aparshakti Khurana and he will completely blow your mind with his performance. Well, I cannot give any spoilers here, obviously, so itâs for you to see for yourself. Then, you have strong dancers like Raghav Juyal, Dharmesh Yelande and Punit Pathak who are just shown in the background to, obviously, support the lead cast. View this post on InstagramWe dance to express not to impress â¡ï¸A post shared by (@varundvn) If you have seen ABCD 2, you would agree that this time around, Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor fail to impress because the last time, their dance game was way stronger. Nora Fatehi does burn the dance floor but is soon sidelined and her presence is pretty much forgotten. View this post on InstagramHai garmi ð¥ @norafatehi Trailer out 18 th decA post shared by (@varundvn) In the end, you see both the teams joining hands to take on the local British dance crew, in a bid to win the big prize and help the immigrants. Besides that, pretty much nothing else happens in this movie. View the full article

Samsung Is Making Its Own AirDrop Like Feature And Here�s How it Will Work
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
AirDrop lets users transfer files amongst two iPhone users or iPhone and MacBook users. It is an exclusive feature of iOS and at the moment and no Android smartphone has been able to effectively replicate it. But that may change soon as Samsung is making a similar feature for their smartphones. According to XDA Developersâ source, a new feature called âQuick Shareâ was spotted and will debut alongside the upcoming Galaxy S20 smartphones. It will work similarly to AirDrop i.e. it will not use cellular or Bluetooth to transfer files. Instead, it will use Bluetooth to create a peer-to-peer Wi-Fi network between connected devices. XDA was able to access the interface of the application and it says that within the app, users can locate nearby Galaxy devices to transfer files. This also suggests that the feature may be exclusive to Galaxy smartphones. © XDA Developers Quick Share will also have other options for users such as choosing whom you can receive files from i.e. from everyone or from your contacts. The app will also be able to let users save files to the cloud, from where it can later be downloaded locally or streamed to Samsung SmartThings devices. There will be a limit of 1GB per file and a daily limit of 2GB of total cloud storage. © Samsung It is currently not clear whether this feature will be available for older Samsung Galaxy devices, however XDA revealed that its source was using the app on a Galaxy S20 Plus 5G. It could be possible that the new Quick Share feature will roll out for devices that will get the OneUI 2.1 update. © Google Samsung is not the only company working on an AirDrop like feature as Google is also rumoured to be working on a similar service called âNearby Sharing.â Googleâs service is rumoured to be released via Google Play Store and may work with almost every Android smartphone. We will get to know more about Quick Share at Samsungâs âUnpackedâ event that is set to take place on February 11. View the full article -
After Uri's release in 2019, Vicky Kaushal had taken a brief break in 2019. But, now that he's back in the game, filming for Karan Johar's Takht wherein he'll be acting alongside Ranveer Singh, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Anil Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, Alia Bhatt and Janhvi Kapoor, we'll be seeing more of his public appearances. For example, recently Vicky Kaushal wore waffle sneakers that had people wondering if the silhouette design was inspired by real waffles. © Instagram/Manav Manglani Vicky Kaushal's signature style however, can be defined as accessible and something that most of us can recreate in our everyday lives. This is courtesy of his stylist Amandeep Kaur. Recently, while hanging out with Katrina Kaif, he was spotted wearing a black sweatshirt with orange neon stripes, but to complete the outfit, he added bright orange sneakers. Take a look here: © Instagram/Manav Manglani Vicky is wearing Adidas Ozweego in a vibrant orange colour. Shades of Adidas Ozweego line are chosen in a way so that the final silhouette looks rather compelling. These sneakers have a bright tangerine mesh base and suede overlays. There are small creamsicle coloured strips on the woven. © Instagram/Manav Manglani These re-worked Adidas originals are available in India now for Rs 10,999, which, if you think about, isn't a bad price for an Adidas silhouette. This, however, isn't the first time Vicky has worn this sneaker. But, clearly, this outfit does look like it's right out of a candy store. View the full article

Vijay Deverakonda is a Tollywood star who has a brazen sense of style. His ensembles have at least one intriguing element that people don't stop raving about for a while. Remember the time when he created a buzz wearing sliders worth Rs 45K? Clearly, Vijay is OTT with his choices and he looks good, no matter what he wears. © Viral Bhayani © Viral Bhayani Recently, he was papped at the airport with yet another head-turning fashion statement. And no, we are not talking about his joggers or mini pants, but his torn jeans that instantly stole all the thunder. Take a look here: © Viral Bhayani What's interesting about his pants is the fact that even though they are distressed, they still look super comfy for the airport. Add to that, his basic black T-shirt with a beanie makes it look uber-cool and this is truly a perfect way to jet off in style. It's unlikely that this trend will become obsolete and with so many versions -- from subtle rips to highly shredded -- these pants are now a popular choice. We have seen them on elite B-town celebrities like Ranbir Kapoor and Dino Morea, thanks to the edgy silhouette that instantly makes them a versatile addition. © Viral Bhayani Now, if you are figuring out a way to work your casual Fridays look or amp up your weekend style game, we got you covered with Vijay's recent fashion experiment. The subtle charm of this ensemble with a street style edge to it shows that he is raising the stakes only higher with his airport fashion. Kudos to you Vijay for that! View the full article

Sonam Kapoor, who is in London right now to shoot for an ad, took to her Twitter account to share a scary experience of taking an Uber in the city. She tweeted, "Hey guys Iâve had the scariest experience with @Uber London. Please please be careful. The best and safest is just to use local public transportation or cabs. Iâm super shaken." Hey guys Iâve had the scariest experience with @Uber london. Please please be careful. The best and safest is just to use the local public transportation or cabs. Iâm super shaken. â Sonam K Ahuja (@sonamakapoor) January 15, 2020 A user asked her to share the details of what exactly happened with her, to which she replied, âThe driver was unstable and was yelling and shouting. I was shaking by the end of it.â After she raised a complaint on Twitter, the cab vendor apologized as she had such an unfortunate experience. The driver was unstable and was yelling and shouting. I was shaking by the end of it. â Sonam K Ahuja (@sonamakapoor) January 15, 2020 After her tweet started to gain attention, her fans bashed the cab vendor and asked for immediate action against the driver responsible. Hope you are okay...@Uber_Support please take strict action against the driver... â Punit (SidHeart) (@Punit03147132) January 15, 2020 @Uber_Support Can you please look Into it. This is serious. ðð¼ â mahi (@mahi_lahsgdidj) January 15, 2020 Some users expressed being puzzled as to why would she would need a cab to travel around the city when she could easily get a car of her own. Something is cooking !! She has many luxury cars yet she is going in uber ?? Somehow this will be connected to RW later !! â Srikanth (@srikanthbjp_) January 16, 2020 I agree ... She can afford the best of cars, whether in India or even in the UK.. why did she opt for Uber ð¤ð¤ð¤ guess she wants free/cheap publicity... May be some picture of hers may be due to be released anytime soon... â Punit Jani (@_punit_jani) January 16, 2020 Of course, some people were sympathetic with Sonam, as they shared similar experiences of having a tough time with their cab drivers as well. Actually uber drivers are not tested for drugs and we have had a similar experience in Delhi where the driver kept braking all the time and driving zig zag for no reason. Uber trains drivers for just half a day where they are only taught how to use the GPS. â chandnimathur (@chandnimathur5) January 16, 2020 Sorry to hear that. I always considered uber to be as good as personal vehicle. Off late, even I have faced few issues with Uber in London... â Nooruzzaman Mohammed ÙÙراÙزÙاں ÙØÙÙد (@rahbarnoor) January 16, 2020 Today in delhi my dad faced similar issue where #Uber driver stopped his app and ended trip minutes after leaving IGI T3! â Divakar Sinha (@dsinha29) January 16, 2020 Uber is horrible. Be it London, Delhi or Mumbai. Customer is their last priority. Have been victimised several times.... @Uber_India â Karan Bhardwaj (@Karan_Bow) January 16, 2020 There were a few users who then informed that the particular cab vendor in question has apparently already lost its license and has been banned in London. Oh dear hope your ok...Iâm pretty sure Uber lost their licence for London in November last year be careful dodgy people out there â Kiran khan (@Kirankhan79) January 15, 2020 Uber banned in London but how come u got it..

And by the way, how did you manage to board Uber when they aren't operational in London. Something's brewing up. Food for thought ð¤ â Pooja ð®ð³ (@beyoond_starz) January 16, 2020 Pretty sure a lot of people, particularly office-goers can relate to this. You have our sympathies, Sonam.

The Indian cricket team, the Men In Blue, the second best ODI team in the world according to ICC Rankings, felt more like a class 12th bully, insecure of his weaknesses and covering it all up with a facade of false toughness. On Tuesday, however, Aaron Finch and the Australian side saw right through the pretense and gave the kind of beating Team India had coming, for a long, long time. The âclass-12-bullyâ analogy seems to make more sense than youâd imagine. Ever since their ICC World Cup 2019 ended in disappointment, India have been facing teams like the West Indies, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and South Africa. These teams, although historically good, are currently in the nascent stages of rebuilding and their education is still far from complete. For India to crush them in their ways, mostly at home, sure would have given a solid boost of confidence to Virat Kohli and Co. They were clearly the best of the lot, the dominating ones who could do whatever they wanted, who could defeat all the Lasith Malingas and Kieron Pollards in their sleep. © AP But then something happened. These class-12 bullies graduated from school and entered college. Suddenly, the senior most batch of kids became âfreshiesâ and the Australians were the third-year students, looking forward to all the ragging. This is the big league. For the first time in seven months, India were up against a top-four ODI team of the world and the result was more obvious than a lot of people would have imagined. Wankhede witnessed absolute humiliation of the hosts as Aussie openers David Warner and Finch chased down a total of 255 runs on their own and made Kohli taste one of the worst defeats since he became captain. © AP With no loss of wickets, the Finch-Warner duo successfully met Indiaâs not so impressive total in just 38 overs and finished the game off in style with a boundary towards the mid-off on a full ball by Mohammed Shami. Other than a formidable 74 by Shikhar Dhawan, there was nothing good to take from the Indian batting lineup. During the second half of the game, our bowlers ran around like headless chickens. From newbies like Shardul Thakur to Jasprit âThe Best That We Haveâ Bumrah, all were treated with equal love with an overall economy of 7.78 by the pacers. Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav did comparatively better (combined econ: 5.33). © AP The Indian skipper rightfully mentioned that his boys were outplayed in all three departments of the game and the men from Down Under made a mockery out of them. This beating that our âfreshiesâ took was an important lesson. It had to be done. The loss only goes on to show how far away we are from being good enough to even think about winning a World Cup, regardless of the format. Yes, we have been experimenting with our players and giving an opportunity to the youngsters to make an international appearance but it is about time we settle in, focus on one team. A set group of 15 men must be established and start working on the chemistry between themselves, just them. © AP Credit to Team Australia as well, for showing up and giving the Men in Blue a wakeup call. Although this was just the first of three ODIs the two sides are going to play during the series, the sheer one-sidedness cannot be ignored. We are not ready for big games and no matter how many records our cricketers may have broken in the latter half of 2019, it only goes on to show that none of it would matter if we fail to do good in the matches that matter.

"Wife was demanding too much ***", "my wife has got pimples", "I was asked to touch my husband's feet on Karwa Chauth", "my wife didn't cook like my mother" - are you wondering what are these and why I am talking about them? Well, these are some of the reasons desi people gave to get a divorce from their respective spouses. Last year, a woman in MP filed for divorce when her husband refused to shave or bathe for 8 days in a row. While you might think it's outright bizarre, looks like it's clearly not because another woman is now seeking divorce from her husband because he stinks. via GIPHY According to a report in The Times Of India, a 20-year-old woman from Bihar's Vaishali has filed for divorce because her 23-year-old husband doesn't shave or bathe regularly (for nearly 10 days at a stretch to be precise) and stinks. She also complained to the State Women's Commission (SWC) that he does not even brush his teeth regularly and has limited sense of manners and etiquette. "We have no children. Even our relationship as a husband and wife is not cordial. Life has no meaning. It's worthless," the woman said in her complaint against her husband who is a plumber by profession. One of the SWC members, who earlier thought the reason to be silly, said, "I have given her husband two months' time to mend his ways. If his behaviour is not found satisfactory even after that, we will take appropriate action and refer the matter to the family court for separation." via GIPHY SWC heard the woman's complaint and asked her husband to mend his ways within two months, else a strict action will be taken against him. Wow, women take grooming and personal hygiene quite seriously. So, all you men out there better watch out before giving excuses like, "Aaj thand bahut hai, kal nahaunga." View the full article

If you're a Star Wars fan, it's likely that you'll remember the iconic twin suns of Tatooine: Cool, aren't they? A young intern at NASA however, has just discovered a new planet - where you might be able to spot the greatest sunrise of all time - with two suns at once. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, also known as TESS, is a specialised space telescope that was launched into orbit by SpaceX in 2018 with the specific purpose of discovering exoplanets. The term refers to planets outside of the solar system, and as you might imagine, they're not particularly easy to spot. © NASA; An illustration of TESS working in orbit. The most common method of discovering them is locating dark spots in front of distant stars - caused by planets revolving around their respective stars and blocking their light from reaching us. This phenomenon is known as a 'transit', and TESS is able to detect them by using four powerful cameras to capture 1296 images of the same patch of sky across 27 days - that's a single hi-res image every half-hour. © NASA; Optics engineer Greg Balonek prepares a TESS flight lens for modal testing at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. The intern, Wolf Cukier, joined NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, after his junior year of high school at Scarsdale High School in New York. He was assigned to study variations in star brightness captured by TESS and upload it to the Planet Hunters TESS citizen science project. © New York Post; Wolf sitting at his desk in a NASA jumper. Note the physics textbooks and telescope - he's clearly in the perfect line of work. "I was looking through the data for everything the volunteers had flagged as an eclipsing binary, a system where two stars circle around each other and from our view eclipse each other every orbit," Cukier said in a statement from NASA. "About three days into my internship, I saw a signal from a system called TOI 1338. At first I thought it was a stellar eclipse, but the timing was wrong. It turned out to be a planet." What's remarkable about Cukier's discovery is that the planet is 'circumbinary' - revolving around two suns instead of one like in the solar system. There are only about two dozen such planets discovered, making the intern's fortunate finding all the more special. Designated as TOI 1338 b, it is the only planet in the TOI 1338 system and revolves around the twin suns every 95 days - both of them revolve around each other much faster at 15 days and are considerably different from each other. One is 10% larger than our Sun, while the other is just a third of the Sun's mass, and is much dimmer and smaller. If you're looking to catch that special sunset however, it's quite unlikely - the system is 1,300 light years away from Earth, and is 6.9 times the size of our planet - making it likely that even if we survive the journey and the harsh radiation and heat from two suns, TOI 1338 b's gravity is likely to crush us like a grape. Unfortunately for Wolf, he doesn't get to name his discovery - although his brother suggests that 'Wolftopia' would be pretty cool. View the full article

The city of joy has found yet another reason to make merry as it takes the crown for being India's safest city for the second year in a row! Kolkata took the top spot owing to the lowest rate of known recorded offences recorded. © Flickr The news came to light after the National Crime Records Bureau recently released its report for the year 2018, and as per the report, Kolkata has a score of 152.2 on the scale that measures known recorded offences per lakh people. The report also mentioned that Kolkata is closely followed by Hyderabad, Pune and Mumbai to be the other safer cities in the country. © Flickr However, according to the report, West Bengal's overall performance isn't worth boasting about. The report also claimed that Bengal is the fourth-most violent crime-prone state, while its crime rate stood at 46.1, higher than states like Jammu and Kashmir (25.6) and even Uttar Pradesh (29.2). © Flickr The state's only saving grace has been its better performance when it came to preventing crime against women. Bengal has also slipped to the 10th position in rapes. This would definitely come as happy news for residents and other Bengalis living outside their home state. View the full article

There's something about robots that just screams creepy to me. I've seen a lot of robots over the years, both in real-life and online while covering tech, but I've been sane with the idea of having robots around me, let alone own one. But at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this year, one particular robot really caught my attention. I am talking about 'Jennie', a robot labrador that's been stealing hearts at on the show floor this year. No seriously, this one's not like other robots. Just look at her: via GIPHY Yes, she deserves all the attention, right? Is she a toy? Yeah, maybe you can say that, but I'd say she is just as real as fur buddy you have at home. You can see Jennie at a corner of CES this year, where's she's waiting with her father to meet all the visitors. Jennie is not just any other robot. She's made to interact with humans the same way a real dog would. She'll respond to being stroked and petted and she also wags her tail at being called, which is a sight to behold. © CNET Jennie is covered with synthetic fur and she's fitted with 50 sensors that can feel how softly or vigorously you're interacting with her. She has in-built microphones to listen to when someone's calling her. According to the folks over at Cnet, who got to spend some time with Jennie, she moves her head gently when she's patted. But if you give her more fuss, she'll get more excited and wag her tail. Jennie can also move her ears, eyebrows and nose, thanks to the built-in motors in her face. Stevens, who's the creator of the dog, says Jennie was designed to be a lap dog. She was never meant to be mobile, but she can cover a very small distance and do pretty much anything and everything else. She can even bark, whine, yip and howl. I am totally sold! In case you're interested in buying your very own Jennie, then you can do so by pre-ordering her for $440. She wasn't designed to be a toy. Instead, she was made for elders for therapy. But hey, you don't really need a reason to bring home such a cute fur buddy, do you? Source: CNET View the full article

You know what's the best movie to watch? The movie that everyone wants to boycott before it has even released, that too for unrelated reasons. We already knew Chhapaak was going to be one of the most important movies of the year just because of the highly crucial story it is based on. However, just a few days before its release, the movie is already surrounded by so many controversies with calls for boycott just because some people didn't like something Deepika Padukone did. Well, all I want to say after reading the first reactions to the movie is you all are going to miss out on a great movie with this boycott. There's nothing but praise for the movie with Deepika's strong performance as an acid attack survivor and it made it even better. Guess that about sums it up. Went for the premier of #Chapaak.

Say what you will about our Bollywood stars, but they do know a thing or two about sneakers and wearing them with style. From Anand Ahuja wearing the wildest sneakers we've seen in 2019, to Maniesh Paul wearing a sneaker that legit looks like a pair of children's shoes that were spray painted, we've seen it all. © Instagram/anilskapoor So naturally, when a resident of the tinsel town wears a new pair that is zany and insanely flamboyant to look at, something that screams for attention, people notice. © Viral Bhayani Kunal Kemmu, it seems is a massive sneakerhead that people don't often talk about. Time and again he has been spotted wearing some really dapper and cool pairs. Saying that he knows his Air Jordan 11s from his 12s would be an understatement. © Instagram/khemster2 However, it was the most recent pair that he was spotted in, that puts him at par with some of the most revered hypebeasts we have in India. Kunal Kemmu was recently spotted in a pair of sneakers that look as if they have dropped straight out of Dragon Ball Z, the Japanese anime that all '90s kids grew up with. © Viral Bhayani The sneakers, thanks to the orange and yellow coloured panels almost seem to appear like a dragon breathing fire, with the orange laces, further enhancing their appeal. That, coupled with the fact that they have been coupled with a pair of orange socks, black pants, and basic yellow t-shirt, further accentuate their appeal. © Viral Bhayani The particular pair that Kunal is wearing is the Track.2 Sneakers from Balenciaga, the Spanish luxury fashion brand, that are quite popular among the Bollywood fraternity for their Triple S line of 'ugly' sneakers. The Track.2 are actually a masterpiece, considering how technical the sneakers actually are © Hypebeast The sneakers have very pronounced and exaggerated treading chunks on their soles, which further adds to the aggressive aesthetic that they aim for. What really sets the pair apart, is the fact that the sneakers are actually made of 172 smaller panels which are stuck together to make its sieve and multilayered silhouette. © Hypebeast The panels, all intertwine and interlock which helps Balenciaga to cut down on the weight of the sneaker, which makes it one heck of a piece for running and sports. However, considering the price of the sneakers, you might not want to do that. © Viral Bhayani These Track.2s from Balenciaga are a part of their Winter/Fall 2019 collection and is listed for $895. That's just shy of Rs 70,000. Add to that your regular customs and import tariffs, and you are looking at a figure just shy of Rs 1,00,000. © Viral Bhayani Say what you will, these are some awesome sneakers. Way to go Kunal, a rather cheeky way to kick the year off. Keep 'em coming! View the full article

US-based Ashley Hall's dream of having a destination wedding in India was about to shatter when she was told that she will have to change the venue of her wedding and all she has was 48 hours to find a new location. As President Ram Nath Kovind as visiting the venue on the same day, the security team notified her to change the venue due to safety reasons. Ashley took to her Twitter saying, “Sometimes you plan a destination wedding for 8 months at an elite hotel in India. Sometimes the President of India makes an impromptu trip to that hotel on the day of the wedding. Sometimes you get 48 hours notice to plan an entirely new wedding.” Sometimes you plan a destination wedding for 8 months at an elite hotel in India.

Elon Musk has always been everyone's favourite eccentric billionaire, but when did he become that uncle we all have who always starts awkwardly dancing at any moment? Recently, he put on a show for the people of China and showed off his incredible dance moves. He took off and broke into a dance at Tesla's plant in Shanghai during an event organised at Tesla Gigafactory 3 to mark the first deliveries of made-in-China Tesla vehicles. Well, that's one way to celebrate. He knows his moves are too good to handle that he obviously shared it on his Twitter, which is basically a meme page at this point. At Tesla Giga Shanghai NSFW!! pic.twitter.com/1yrPyzJQGZ — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 7, 2020 The weird dance, the music, the "NSFW", everything just works well together. Elon probably knows this video has the potential to become a 'dank meme' and looks like he just wants everyone to happy and roast him. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves too much. Many Chinese took vid of your dance. pic.twitter.com/eqV1drKB52 — Ray4ï¸â£Teslaâ¡ï¸ðâï¸ð (@ray4tesla) January 7, 2020 The best. Q: What is Elon Musk's greatest product reveal ever?

There have been plenty of rumours about a new affordable iPhone that many have touted as the new iPhone SE 2. A fresh leak shows off renders of the new phone that gives us a closer look at the smartphone in question. The new leak from renowned leaker @Onleaks and iGeeksBlog shows the full view of the device and from other points of views. These images are based on renders from a leak which means the design can change once it eventually launches. We advise you to take this rumour with a pinch of salt. © Twitter/Onleaks The image reveals a slimmer phone that has rounded edges, big bezels, a lightning port and no 3.5mm headphone jack. The iPhone in the image looks awfully similar to the iPhone 8 and is probably why the smartphone will be a bit more affordable as it is using a design previously used by Apple. And finally comes your very first look at #Apple's highly anticipated #iPhoneSE2 aka #iPhone9! 360° video + stunning official looking 5K renders + dimensions, on behalf of my Friends over @igeeksblog -> https://t.co/vXBBRhDlgA pic.twitter.com/YQHMEZUz9e — Steve H.McFly (@OnLeaks) January 7, 2020 Since it looks so similar to the iPhone 8, there is a good chance that this upcoming phone may just be called the iPhone 9. However, there will be upgrades under the hood that may include a more powerful chipset, better camera and a bigger battery. Since it will be a new smartphone by Apple, it will also probably run iOS 13 out of the box. These renders also may not look exactly like the final product as previous leaks have indicated different design aspects before. However, it remains to be seen whether the new iPhone SE 2 or iPhone 9 will launch with these designs. Currently, there is no news when the smartphone will launch and how much it will cost.

Badshah belongs to a cluster of artists who love to collect snazzy kicks to store for their closet full of a stellar sneaker collection. Badshah is really good at scouting for the best sneakers out there. He then curates a personalised look by putting together the best of the sneakers, hoodies, watches and other accessories. The look is usually theme-based. Case in point, this look wherein it is apparent that Badshah is clearly chasing the biker aesthetic, take a look: © Instagram/ Badshah Starting with the star of this outfit, his gloves are a unique collaboration of Supreme x Fox Racing x Honda which resulted in puffy gloves with insignia from all three brands. Take a look: © Supreme Along with this, he wore Alexander Wang x Adidas's collaboration, Turnout Bball Shoes, that are surprisingly inexpensive despite their rad aesthetic. © adidas The pair of sneakers comes for the price of Rs 18,000. The silhouette is designed to accommodate a mixed material upper exterior inspired by retro basketball style. The midsole, on the other hand, is a multisport mash-up inspired by several adidas trainers. It's interesting how these two elements in his outfit gel well together seamlessly. We guess Badshah deserves more credit for styling his outfits considering how unique they turn out to be. View the full article

We've all seen fake Nintendo Switch's out in the wild; however, a new portable gaming PC machine by Dell/Alienware was announced at CES today. It looks, works and has the same concept as the Nintendo Switch, but on steroids. It's called Alienware Concept UFO and is currently just at the prototype stage but looks like a finished product ready for commercial sale. It is probably the quintessential portable gaming PC we've all wanted, re-imagined Nintendo Switch style. © Twitter_LaptopMag Just like the Nintendo Switch, it has a tablet where one can slide in two controllers similar to the Joy-Cons on the Switch. However, the design of the controllers and the body of the UFO is slightly different than the Switch. It comes with two analog sticks, a D-Pad and four action buttons on the front of the device. On the top, there are the triggers and shoulder buttons similar to an Xbox One game controller. © Twitter_LaptopMag The main difference here is that the Alienware UFO concept runs on Windows 10 and will run PC games at a resolution of 1200p. This means a larger games library at a higher resolution than the Nintendo Switch. The portable gaming device also comes with its own kickstand and can also output to larger displays without the need of a dock. The Alienware UfO comes with two USB-C ports; one at the top and bottom which can be used to output video to other displays, charge the device and use wired controllers, keyboard and mouse. © Dell Dell has not detailed any of the components being used to power the Alienware UFO which could be a factor at determining the performance of the portable device. Due to which it is not possible to know the calibre of games it can run or what specifications are under the hood to figure out the graphics settings for each game. Sure, one cannot expect the Alienware UFO to deliver Desktop PC graphics but it would be interesting to see how much more powerful it is than the Nintendo Switch. We've already seen credible ports of games like Witcher 3, Elder Scrolls iV: Skyrim and Overwatch for the Nintendo Switch. It all depends on how well the games are optimised for the device and whether it can deliver a smooth lag-free experience. View the full article

A natural progression of time in our lives translates into the way our bodies change over the years. This also means spotting whites in your hair before the expected age. You might start to spot the white strands in your teens or even your thirties for that matter. The question although, is what do you choose to do about them? If they're just a few strands interspersed here and there, then you can choose to ignore them (they're not perpetually visible anyway), however, if they are more than a few strands that can be seen by anyone who looks at your face and not just on your head but also in your beard (that is if you keep one), then you'll have two options. Either you can dye them on a monthly basis or you can let them stay as is. Now, you can either choose to dye both your beard and your hair or only dye your hair and let the beard be. One thing that you should know, is the fact that many celebrities have embraced the salt and pepper look in recent times. These include people like Virat Kohli, Jim Sarbh and Idris Elba. These men aren't afraid of letting the maturity of their age reflect on their faces, in fact, they wear it like a badge of experience (in a way that says that "I have seen and done things in my time and I know better") which makes it even more attractive. So, How Can You Embrace The Salt And Pepper Beard Look? 1. Let The Greys Be If you're starting to see more of the grey strands now in a cluster, chances are that you've been seeing them for a while now. Nix the habit of weeding out the whites in the attempts of a fuller, black flawless beard. Let them grow out. Now, that you've decided to let them be, it'll take a while for the greys to balance out across the beard to get the desired look. © Getty Images 2. You Also Need Professional Help A beard stylist is going to make sure that the grey strands are not growing out in an odd manner but blend out with the rest of the beard seamlessly. This can't be done at home with the precision a professional would have. © Instagram/Manav Manglani 3. You'll Require Significantly Less Maintenance Now that you have a salt and pepper beard, you could reap the benefits of not having to maintain your beard as often as you would have to when you were dyeing it regularly. The beard requires a trim once in a while, but that's about it. © Getty Images View the full article

When it comes to wearing outlandish outfits, Karan Johar gives many elite B-town stars a run for their money with his fashion game. For him, normcore is far from done as he has legit made a head-turning statement wearing some unexpected silhouettes. © Viral Bhayani It's not just Karan who is sartorially woke, but even his best friend and designer Manish Malhotra has shown up several times in offbeat fashion. They both have a maximalist approach when it comes to their wacky fashion sense and we cannot stop admiring them. Recently, the fashionable BFFs were spotted at the airport giving each other an intense competition with their outfits. Take a look here: © Viral Bhayani © Viral Bhayani Karan is seen wearing an oversized colour block jacket by Prada. The baggy silhouette with copious pockets has a street-style edge to it. It's a style from Spring/Summer 2020 runway that has sartorial eccentricity to it. © Viral Bhayani On the other hand, even Manish Malhotra made a massive statement with his military green puffer jacket. The way he has layered it with a quirky shawl by Gucci accentuated his look even more. © Viral Bhayani Coming to Karan Johar's sneakers, he dialled up his outfit by wearing chunky-soled trainers by Naked Wolfe. While these graffiti print sneakers have an outdoorsy edge, Manish, kept his sneaker game minimal with his uber-cool white sneakers by Louis Vuitton. As far as the sneakers are concerned, we have to say the designer took the cake! © Viral Bhayani Everything about both of their outfits is extra and yet this is the most fashionable thing we have seen on the internet today. It is merely impossible to decide who won the award since both of them have added their personal touch to their style, making unconventional look super cool. Well, that's your airport look sorted. Thanks to Karan and Manish for giving us some serious style lessons! View the full article

Apple changed the iPhone design a few years back with the launch of iPhone X. It introduced the notch with the iPhone X, which was then adopted by various manufacturers and we started a whole bunch of similar-looking phones. But now, if the rumours are something to go by, it looks like Apple is looking to change things once again. Apple's next iPhone, which will most likely be called the iPhone 12, will have a design that's inspired by the iconic iPhone 4. The reports of the same came out after several design illustrations showed up online. The illustrations were spotted by the folks over at LetsGoDigital. The patents were published by the Japanese Patent Office on December 23. © LetsGoDigital As you can see, the images show a few notable changes, especially when it comes to the design. The notch is clearly gone. But that also means Apple will now have to put the selfie camera under the display along with all the facial recognition tech. We can't see those things on the design illustration, but since Apple can't eliminate them, our guess is that they'll find some way to hide them under the display. If not that, then we'll at least see an in-display fingerprint scanner. Perhaps the TouchID will make a comeback? Another thing to note is that the display now has sharp rectangular corners instead of rounded ones that we've been seeing for a couple of years now. That's also a major design, and it'll be interesting to see how handles the bezels too. Here's a rendered image to give you an idea of what the phone may look like - © Ben Geskin Obviously, the final design of the phone when it actually arrives in the market will look a lot more refined. That's usually the case with the phone design seen on these patents and renders. So, we now play the waiting game and see what Apple has cooked for us. The iPhone, as usual, won't arrive before September, which means we have a lot of time to reflect on these renders. Source: LetsGoDigital View the full article

If there's one movie that has been in the headlines of late, it's Ludo by Anurag Basu starring Rajkummar Rao, Aditya Roy Kapur, Abhishek Bachchan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra, Pankaj Tripathi and Rohit Suresh Saraf in the lead roles. Now, Rajkummar has shared his first look from Ludo and it's trending all over on social media. He has shared two pictures – one in which he looks unrecognisable as he is seen sporting the drag look. In the photos, you can see him flaunting his midriff in a green coloured ghagra choli. His thick long hair and red lips just perfectly blend with the whole look. In the second look, he is seen sitting on a bike sporting a retro look taking us back to the 80s. Check out the look here: View this post on Instagram Happy new year guys. #LUDO ðâ¤ï¸@anuragbasuofficial @bhushankumar @tseries.official A post shared by RajKummar Rao (@rajkummar_rao) on Jan 1, 2020 at 2:11am PST People on social media are talking about his first look and they in fact first thought it's either Kriti Sanon or Alia Bhatt. It's indeed hilarious seeing people compare Raj's look to Kriti and Alia and we wonder what would be their reaction to it. Kriti sanon ko kya ho gaya first pic me — buddy (@ColFool_) January 2, 2020 You are looking like Alia bhatt ðð — Srabanti Majumder (@SrabantiMajumd3) January 2, 2020 Alia Bhatt !? 𤠗 durgadas. (@iDURGADA5) January 1, 2020 For a moment I thought it's @kritisanon . Oh my god! @RajkummarRao Sir. — Harsh Rao (@harsh010494) January 1, 2020 There were some who took it to the next level by saying that it looks like Raj has taken admission in the TikTok university. But, everyone agreed that he nailed the look and he is surely one of the best actors the industry has. Speaking of the film's star cast, Anurag Basu, in an interview with news agency IANS last year, had said, "I am extremely happy to have found this talented new generation cast, though I will trust my old friend Pritam for music as always. It is my pleasure to be working with Bhushan Kumar for my next that is a dark comic anthology." Well, this one would be an interesting watch. View the full article

It seems like the Galaxy Note 10 Lite launch is just around the corner and live images of the upcoming smartphone were leaked online yesterday. So far, we've only had unofficial information about the smartphone but that's changed with these live images leaked by SlashGear. © Slashgear While the live photos of the Galaxy Note 10 Lite look very similar to previous leaks, it will be the affordable version of the popular series, fans have been asking for. The pricing of the phone is not known yet and it all depends on how Samsung wants to position the Galaxy Note 10 Lite. It would be prudent to say that Samsung might position the Galaxy Note 10 Lite as an affordable flagship similar to the OnePlus smartphones. From the leaked images, we can see that the device is indeed called the “Galaxy Note 10 Lite” as mentioned in the 'About Device' section. The display also has a punch-hole camera, similar to the Galaxy Note 10. However, the design aspect of the smartphone is different at the rear. The camera module has a square bump in the top-left corner and looks similar to the Pixel 4. In terms of specifications, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite is powered by the company's proprietary Exynos 9810 processor which is coupled with 6GB of RAM. Details about the different camera sensors are not known yet, however previous leaks have suggested that the Galaxy Note 10 Lite will have a triple camera setup with wide-angle, wide and telephoto lenses. Samsung plans to launch to new smartphones i.e. Galaxy S10 Lite and Galaxy Note 10 Lite at CES this week. Reports have suggested that both smartphones will first launch in India and subsequently in other regions. Would you buy a more affordable Galaxy Note smartphone? Let us know in the comments what you think about “Lite” versions of the S10 and Note 10. View the full article
