Bollywood actress Vishakha Singh, who has movies like ‘Fukrey’ to her credit, gave it back to an abuser on the social networking site Facebook. The actress had posted a photograph of hers on her Facebook that read: “Everybody is somebody’s foreigner. Wearing Madversity’s cool new Tee ..looking forward to more such quotes!” Of the many comments she got on this picture, one said, “Nice looking and nice b****.” Vishakha took no time to take a stand for herself and replied, in jest, to the user: “Mr MD Mustakim Saifi, 1) remove that innocent child’s picture as your dp. 2) have the guts to put your own profile picture . And then comment.” She continued, “I know i am a woman.. And for your general knowledge, Yes, All women have breasts. Your mother, sister, wife, grandmother, aunts, daughter, friends. All of them included. Do you walk up to them and say ‘nice b***s’? Feel sorry for you. Have the guts to say it on my face?? Else, get off my page.”

Four years ago, Google dished out a reported $100 million in stock to keep its VP of display advertising from getting poached by Twitter. Now, that exec - Neal Mohan - is finally leaving to join Dropbox, Re/code's Kara Swisher reports. Mohan first joined Google in 2008, after the search giant bought online ads company DoubleClick, where he was SVP of strategy and product management. For years, he worked under Google vet Susan Wojcicki. With Wojcicki leading ads and Mohan expertly executing the grand vision that had made DoubleClick such an appealing acquisition target, Google's display advertising revenues swelled. Last year, though, Wojcicki left her ads job to start running YouTube. Mohan didn't follow her, but continued to keep their relationship close and spent a lot of time working with her. "So much that many people inside the company thought he had moved over," Swisher writes. Now, Mohan has moved, just not to YouTube. He joins Dropbox at an...

In every Apple advert, one seemingly tiny detail is ALWAYS the same - the time on iPhone’s screen. In the adverts for iPad and recent iPhones such as iPhone 6, it says 9.41. In the very first adverts for iPhone, it read 9.42. Question-and-answer site Quora.com threw light on exactly why this week – and it’s all down to Steve Jobs’ determination to get the launch of the first iPhone exactly right. When Jobs first announced iPhone, he wanted the phone to be ‘frozen’ at the time he announced it on stage at MacWorld. Quora writer Brian Roemmele says, ‘On January 9, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. Steve Jobs took the stage at the 2007 Macworld Conference & Expo and just about 35 minutes into his presentation he said, ‘This is a day I have been looking forward to for two and a half years…’ ‘And at just about 9:42 a.m. Steve announced the iPhone. Thus frozen in time is the near exact time the iPhone was officially announced.’ Since that time, Apple presentations have got a bit shorter, and...

A teddy bear fitted with sensors that could control the TV in your house? Well that’s what Google is hoping to create and has filed a patent for this as well. According to a report on Mashable, these teddy bears will have sensors that will let them control media devices. The patent page points out that the toy or doll, could also turn its gaze to the user when it detects movement or sound. Once the toy turns its head towards the user, they can give the command. No matter how cool this sounds, little children are unlikely to react well to a toy that turns their head towards them. You can expect a lot of screaming and crying if such a ‘toy’ was in the house. With Google’s patents though, things have to be taken with a pinch of salt. A patent does mean that a product will see the light of day.  “We hold patents on a variety of ideas — some of those ideas later mature into real products or services, some don’t,” the company said in an email statement to CNNMoney. As Internet-of-...
