Apple may launch new Mac Mini in October

October is likely to be the most compelling month of the year when it comes to tech. Not only will we finally see the Windows 9 story unravel, there's also the likelihood of witnessing a new Mac Mini model popping up alongside new Apple iPad tablets and OS X Yosemite.

Unidentified sources have told MacRumors that Apple is planning to refresh its diminutive Mac computer, one that will probably ship with the latest iteration of Apple's operating system.

No details about what exactly a refresh will entail but if past models serve as an indication we could see the new Intel Core M appear in one of those.

Not a priority for Apple?

The 2012 model ran on Intel's Ivy Bridge processors and currently costs about $799. Its tiny form factor and versatility means that it is also very popular as a server.

The Mac Mini is ideally suited for those who already have an existing monitor, mouse and keyboard.

However the new Apple iMac which adds a better processor, improved graphics and a 21.5-inch display for an additional $324.910 (when compared to an equivalent Mac Mini) is probably a better buy for those looking for a new system.

App developers receive 'Make in India' message

"Make apps in India," Flipkart co-founder Sachin Bansal has urged developers, lending weight to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Make in India' campaign. "It will generate so much value that nothing could match it if we get it right," he said at the first edition of Global Mobile Internet Conference (GMIC) Bangalore. Smartphone growth in India is expected to see a quantum jump, and apps developed for local use could potentially have a deep impact. InMobi co-founder Naveen Tewari underscored the point, saying the country should look at setting up mobile app villages focused on creating a new app economy here. Bansal noted that mobile devices had become affordable and cost of internet had come down. "A Rs 6,000 phone today is better than the iPhone 3. In fact, my driver completed three years and I asked him what gift he wanted. He said he wanted a smartphone," he said. A Flipkart survey estimates that 1 billion smartphones would be sold in India i...

How To Control House With Your Phones

With the current global technological growth, people tend to move into what is termed as “call-smart-wall” where everything can be manipulated from the palm of the hand. The smart gadgets can be used to automate a home of an individual to the extent that all the smart appliances are controlled. This can be done from one’s palm using fingers from a safe distance without necessarily being present in the house. All the appliances are structured to operate from a centralized control unit situated upon actuators. The control system uses the principle of 12v actuators to enable easy application of a command from a centralized point, in this case a smart phone. A good example is the automated gate and security light. A person does not need to come out of the car or hoot for the gate to be opened, but can easily open the gate or switch on the security light by use of a phone. Similarly, the door can be automated in the sense that one does not ...
