AirDrop - Drop Everything

By
What is it?

AirDrop is an Wi-Fi ad-hoc service owned by Apple to transfer files between their devices without need of storage drives and special router configuration.

Why is it?

You need a mass storage device to transfer huge files from different PCs without LAN network connectivity. So Apple introduced a service to enable the users, to turn their existing device as a network router and send the files through WiFi. Through Bluetooth also we can do file transfer, but the data transfer rate is much lower than this.

Google's Stadia, the GAME changer!

Having a high-end computer or any one of the boxes (Xbox, PlayStation) is not necessary to play high end games in the near future. Recently Google announced a new product from its armory related to gaming at GDC2019, called Stadia . Stadia offers to stream the game in the web browser itself. The game will be loaded and run on the server side, only the video will be played on your computer/mobile. This can be called as Cloud Gaming or Game as a Service (GaaS). All we need is a decent internet connection and probably a subscription for Stadia. No need for any boxes. The traditional premium boxes will be second thought. Since they are expensive for a casual gamer, Stadia will be the best option to experience big games. High tech spec GPUs, high speed processors and all the expensive hardware part will be saved. Hmm, it sounds awesome!! This is another master plan by Google to rule the digital world. Already Google and it's echo system is way more penetrated
