Reliance Jio has extended the last date for Jio Prime plan to April 15, 2017 from the original March 31 deadline, allowing its users another 15 days to sign up for the subscription plan.

Xiaomi announced that it wants to push 50% of its sales to offline channels i.e. brick and mortar stores or physical retail outlets.

Companies take the online route to save marketing costs and other charges that arise while displaying their products in a store.

Think MacBooks are a rip-off and Windows 10 is flat-out rubbish? Perhaps it’s time to check out a Linux distro. If you’ve never touched Linux before, don’t be scared. A distro is simply a particular packaging-up of Linux. Top things that vary between them include the default interface, known as a desktop environment, preinstalled apps and its repositories.
