In quite a shocking incident, two women including a professor’s wife and a research scholar at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras had committed suicide. The former Vijayalakshmi was a 47-year-old woman and wife of physics assistant professor Ganeshan. She was found hanging inside her quarters around 3 pm.

IIT-M announced full cooperation to officials in this case, condoling the scholar’s death. In a statement issued, it said, “IIT-Madras, reports with deep sadness…
Nest Labs is taking preorders on a weatherproof outdoor version of its Nest Cam home security camera that will reach store shelves in September. Nest will also release a new version of its camera app at that time, delivering some of the same new features to Nest Cam Indoor and Dropcam users. More on that later. As we’ve come to expect from Nest, the $199 Nest Cam Outdoor doesn’t look like the typical outdoor security camera (take Reolink’s RLC-410, for instance). It’s closer in appearance to Netgear’s battery-operated Arlo HD; and like that camera, it has a magnetic swivel mount that…

For a midrange price ($299 on Amazon), the Acer Chromebook 14 gives you an all-aluminum chassis and a very nice display, even if its performance and other attributes are less remarkable. The Chromebook 14’s best features Melissa RiofrioThe Chromebook 14 is Acer’s first all-aluminum model, with a brushed finish. Acer touts the all-aluminum chassis on the Chromebook 14, and for good reason. Amid a pile of…
If you’re looking for an affordable 4K UHD TV with the latest connectivity and better-than-average sound, Sharp’s $800 55-inch class Aquos N7000 should be on your short list. The N7000 is even “HDR-enabled” (High Dynamic Range), meaning it can play HDR10 content, although it doesn’t possess the display chops to take full advantage of that feature. Sharp Though I rarely talk about such things, the Aquos N7000’s design struck me as particularly clean and handsome. Specs and connectivity The Aquos N7000 is a 54.6-inch display (55-inch class) that weighs about 48 pounds and is around 2.5-inches deep. It’s not overly…

Another day, another iPhone 7-related rumor or leak of some sort. This is becoming the norm as we’re approaching the September event where Apple will finally make its new handset official. This time around, a “pretty reliable” source apparently thinks the iPhone 7 will ship with a 1,960 mAh battery. That would be great news for lovers of good smartphone battery life, considering that its predecessor, the iPhone 6s, has a 1,715 mAh cell. Follow OnLeaks @OnLeaks Pretty reliable (not 100% but almost…) source told me #iPhone7battery = 1960mAh (#iPhone6s = 1715mAh) 3:55 PM – 13 Jul 2016 7878 Retweets…

It says that the move is aimed at taking maximum advantage of this year’s Olympics, scheduled to begin on August 5. If you recall, there was a gap of…
