A 5-year subscription is also on sale for only $79.99. flowkey listens to you play through a microphone or a MIDI connection and tells you right away which notes you got right.

Indian diaspora rallies in London in support of PM Modi amid 'anti-India' demonstrations

Digital Desk | London, Oct 17 (IANS) Members of the Indian diaspora in London rallied in support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi outside the Indian High Commission, waving the Tricolour and raising slogans in the Prime Minister's favour. The gathering saw members of the Indian community chanting slogans such as 'Modi, Modi', 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' and 'Jai Shri Ram', expressing their support for the Prime Minister and the Government of India. The participants said they had assembled to defend India's image abroad and oppose demonstrations that, in their view, sought to damage the country's reputation on foreign soil. The show of support came amid protests in India by the Congress-led INDIA bloc and the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), which have been targeting the Election Commission of India (ECI) over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The Opposition groups have alleged irregularities in the exercise and demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. Speaking to IANS, an Indian diaspora member living in London said the gathering was intended to register opposition to what the participants viewed as attempts to malign India internationally. Today, we have gathered here at Bharat Bhavan in London to oppose those who, in our view, are defaming India. We, as Indian nationalists, have come together to respond to their actions and raise our voices in defence of our country, the diaspora member said. Questioning the approach adopted by those protesting against the Indian government, the participant argued that grievances in a democracy should be addressed through established legal and constitutional mechanisms rather than demonstrations that could affect the country's image abroad. What exactly are you protesting against? If you have any grievances, India is a democracy. You can approach the courts, including the Supreme Court, and seek justice through the legal system. Where is your evidence? It appears that your opposition is driven by your dislike of PM Modi, his leadership, and India's progress, the participant added. Another member of the Indian community told IANS that the gathering was organised to support the Prime Minister and the government, which, the participant said, had been elected through a democratic process and therefore had the mandate to govern. We are gathered here to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Government of India because they were democratically elected by the people of India and have every democratic right to remain in power. Prime Minister Modi has a public mandate. While people talk about poverty, the PM Modi government's achievement in opening 300 million bank accounts for the poor is noteworthy, the participant said. A third participant, speaking to IANS, said, Today, we have gathered here to stand up for India and support PM Modi. Standing up for your rights and defaming India are two different things. You can raise your concerns, but you should not do so in a way that damages the country's reputation on foreign soil. Meanwhile, REACH (Race, Ethnicity and Cultural Heritage) India, an international organisation that brings together Indians across the globe, criticised the NSUI-led demonstrations in a strongly worded statement. Some traitor clowns who getting funds from outside to spread anarchy in India who failed miserably are now trying to demean India in other countries. Dear students, you have come to UK using your parents money or Govt sponsorship. Spend your time wisely and not mixing with anti-Indian elements and raising demeaning slogans. You were mixing with non Indian anti-Indian people and you are getting marked. Lets discuss Indian politics inside India, REACH posted on X. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused the Congress-led INDIA bloc and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi of attempting to destroy Indian democracy and facilitate a egime change by facilitating such protests against the constitutional institutions.

Dont give anyone too much power over you: Sameera Reddy shares her mantra for self-love, body positivity

By Divya Malhotra Compliments can make you feel good, while criticism can sometimes leave you questioning yourself. Actor Sameera Reddy believes the trick is not to let either define your confidence. The actress, who attended the Lakme Fashion Week on October 16, spoke about her journey with self-love, the supportive community women have built around her on Instagram, and why she encourages her children to look within themselves rather than seek approval from others. Reddy, who regularly uses her Instagram account to promote self-love and body positivity, said she was happy to see the kind of community women had built around her online. She also pointed out how the nature of compliments she receives has changed over the years. Recalling her time in films, Reddy said she would often receive compliments from men, but the response she gets today is largely from women, especially mothers and young girls.

This Sudden Blast of Light Puts Produce Into Defense Mode to Stay Fresh

Japans government is spotlighting a post-harvest trick that sounds almost too simple: hit harvested fruit and vegetables with a brief flash of near-infrared light, and they stay fresher longer. The technology, branded iR Fresh (iR) by Shikoku Research Institute, is the centerpiece of a recent JapanGov FoodTech post. The idea is not magic packaging. According to JapanGov and the institute, a strong source around 850 nm for roughly 0.1-0.2 seconds is enough to trigger plant defenses. Produce reads the intense near-IR as a cold or dry warning, lowers respiration and water loss through transpiration, and becomes less inviting to mold. JapanGov and the company call the lettuce finding a world first. That label is marketing. The scientific anchor is peer-reviewed work, including Kozuki et al. in Postharvest Biology and Technology (2015), which documented reduced lettuce leaf transpiration after near-IR exposure. Lead researchers named on JapanGov are KAKIBUCHI Kazumasa and HADA Ayako, both PhDs in agricultural science at Shikoku Research Institute (a Shikoku Electric Power Group R&D arm in Takamatsu). The system is designed for sorting and collection lines without requiring a rewrite of the packing process. Irradiation units are manufactured and sold by Mitsui Kinzoku Keisokuki Ko. The company says citrus sorting facilities numbered 31 as of FY2024 (a self-reported figure). JapanGov also notes a steady stream of overseas inquiries, although we have not seen specific foreign deals appear in the sourced material. JapanGovs photo captions claim strawberries stayed mold-free for 10 days and mandarins for 20 (great but not yet backed by 3rd party testing). A Japanese patent, JP6683338B2, covers NIR freshness methods in the 800-1000 nm band. A compact field and greenhouse unit is under development, per JapanGov useful if growers want treatment earlier than the packing house.

Verizon Will Charge

Verizon plans to charge customers $10 per month for the iPhone Handoff feature that Apple added in iOS 27 . iPhone Handoff allows one phone number to be shared across two separate iPhones. Pricing was included in Verizon's iPhone Duo announcement today , with the carrier confirming iPhone Handoff will work with the iPhone Duo and the iPhone 18 Pro models. Verizon will support iPhone Handoff, giving customers the flexibility to use a single Verizon phone number seamlessly across two compatible iPhone models. Whether using the pocketable iPhone Duo on the go or iPhone 18 Pro for work, customers can switch active status between devices at any time while keeping full access to Verizon's 5G network. iPhone Handoff will be available from Verizon for $10/month on compatible iPhones models running iOS 27. With iPhone Handoff, users can switch between a main iPhone and a companion iPhone at will, though a phone number can only be active on one iPhone at a time. Verizon says support is coming soon, and Apple previously said Verizon would adopt the feature before the end of the year. U.S. carrier T-Mobile already supports iPhone Handoff, but charges just $5 per month for the feature. AT&T, the third major U.S. carrier, recently suggested it has no imminent plans to support iPhone Handoff. U.K. carrier EE also said this week that it will soon support iPhone Handoff. Customers who have EE's Full Works Plus plan will get iPhone Handoff free, while other EE users can get it for 5 per month. Deutsche Telekom in Germany is the only other carrier that's added iPhone Handoff support so far. It costs 6.95 per month, but the carrier includes it for free in the MagentaMobil L and XL plans.

New App Store Rules Target AI Deepfakes and Nudify Apps

Apple today expanded its App Store moderation rules to cover AI-generated nonconsensual intimate imagery. Sexually explicit content was already banned, but now Apple says app developers must proactively prevent and remove AI-generated deepfakes from their platforms. Apple warns that apps with offending content could be removed from the App Store if developers fail to act. The updated 1.2 rule names AI content creation apps and could be targeting apps like Grok, among others. Users have complained about xAI's Grok chatbot being used for nude and sexualized deepfakes, and earlier this year, Apple told xAI it would remove Grok from the App Store if it continued to permit nude deepfakes. xAI put safeguards in place, and Apple approved an updated version of the app. Apple also added guideline 2.5.19 to clarify that developers who add features or functionality not present in the version of an app submitted for review risk removal from the App Store and Apple Developer Program. Apple links the rule to udification apps that create sexually explicit images of real individuals without their consent, suggesting some of the apps have concealed their true purpose during review and added the nudify feature after approval. Apps containing hidden or undocumented features are also prohibited on the App Store, including apps that misrepresent their purpose during review and only reveal harmful capabilities such as udification after approval, a tactic commonly known as bait-and-switch. Along with changes focused on AI-generated content, Apple updated section 5 to extend its ban on apps that facilitate human trafficking or child exploitation to alternative app distribution. We do not hesitate to remove apps, and terminate the developers behind them, when they violate these guidelines, reads Apple's developer news post on the rule changes.

Apple TV 4K and HomePod Mini Price Increases

Daring Fireball 's John Gruber shared his first impressions of the new Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini 2 this week, and he concluded that the price increases the devices received are much more striking than any of the new features introduced. Prior to receiving price increases in late June , the previous Apple TV 4K started at $129 in the U.S., while the previous HomePod mini was priced at $99. The new Apple TV and the HomePod mini 2 are priced at $299 and $149, respectively, so both devices are now significantly more expensive than they were just four months ago. Since the new Apple TV is only available in a single configuration with 128GB of storage and an Ethernet port, it is more fair to compare it to the equivalent previous-generation 128GB model, which was initially $149 and went up to $249 in late June. This means the new model is technically only $50 more expensive, but the reality is that the minimum you can spend on a new Apple TV 4K is now $299, up significantly from $129. The price increases stack up if you want to use a pair of HomePod mini speakers as the default audio output on an Apple TV 4K. As noted by Gruber, it now costs nearly $600 to buy all of those devices, up from nearly $350 before late June. At the old pre-June prices, you could buy a 128 GB Apple TV and a pair of HomePod Minis for $350 ($150 + $100 + $100), said Gruber. Four short months later, with today's new models, that combination would cost $600 ($300 + $150 + $150). That price difference is much more striking than any of the new and improved features in the products. To be clear, Gruber said he still thinks the new Apple TV 4K is worth it to him at its current price, and he believes the HomePod mini 2's price is easonable. However, he acknowledges that the general consumer market thought the old prices were too high, and now Apple has made even more price increases on top.

His portfolio reportedly grew from $1.7 million in 2024 to as much as $56.2 million by late 2025. A large portion of this growth involved investing in stocks benefiting from exemptions to Medicare price negotiations. Notably, purchases included $2.55 million in shares just before signing favorable legislation.

Microsoft thinks the Surface Laptop Ultra is a MacBook Pro killer. We

Macworld Microsoft is clearly worried about Apple. The marketing for the companys new Surface Laptop Ultra directly calls out the MacBook Pro, and Microsoft is even encouraging MacBooks for trade-ins . Now that the Surface Laptop Ultra has started shipping, early reviews of the laptop have posted, including one from our sister publication PCWorld. Give that review a read when you can, but PCWorlds review makes no MacBook Pro comparisons. And thats what were here for! Were going to take a look at some of the benchmark results and see how Microsofts laptop compares to Apples MacBooks. Geekbench 7 Results are expressed as Geekbench scores. Higher scores/longer bars are faster. Surface Laptop Ultras Windows power slider set to Best performance Geekbench 7 is an overall, general-purpose performance benchmark, and in Single-core CPU testing, the Nvidia RTX Spark N1X 20-core CPU chip in the Surface laptop ranks below that of the two-year-old A18 Pro chip in the MacBook Neo. In Multi-core CPU testing, the Nvidia chip beat Apples M5, but is 21 percent slower than the 15-core M5 Pro. As you can see in the chart, the M5 Max has a sizable lead over the RTX Spark. Cinebench 2024 Results are expressed as Cinebench scores. Higher scores/longer bars are faster. Surface Laptop Ultras Windows power slider set to Best performance Cinebench 2024 is more media-focused, rendering an image using Maxons Redshift engine. In Single-Core CPUperformance, the Nvidia chip is even slower than Apples A18 Pro-surprising that a chip made for a mobile phone is faster. In Multi-Core CPU benchmarks, the Nvidia chip still lags behind the M5 Pro. As far as battery life, PCWorld couldnt run the same test we do (playing a 4K video saved to the laptops SSD until the battery runs out). However, their testing, which involved streaming a 4K YouTube video, lasted about 8 hours, a far cry from the 20 hours we got in our tests. One last thing to note about the 15-inch Surface Laptop Ultra is its price. The model PCWorld tested costs $3,699 and has an Nvidia RTX Spark N1X 20-core CPU, a 6,144-core GPU (Nvidia counts cores differently than Apple), 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. For comparison, Apple sells the 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 Pro 18-core CPU, a 20-core GPU, 48GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD for $3,599. So for $100 less, you can get an M5 Pro MacBook Pro thats much faster in general use than Microsofts laptop. The 14-inch model with the same specs is $3,299, $300 cheaper than the Surface Laptop Ultra. Before you get all excited, lets be fair to Microsoft, they promote the Surface Laptop Ultra as built for local AI, and we dont run the same AI benchmarks as PCWorld, so well hold off on judgment in the AI arena. However, the M5 Pro and Max chips are the last of this chip design that Apple will produce. With the M7 due next year, Apple is reportedly focusing on AI performance , which will but a greater focus on the things Microsoft is touting. So, look out. But as far as general-purpose productivity goes, Apple doesnt really have anything to worry about we said that even before we saw these results.

BenQ INFTYLAB M Mouse review: A Mac mouse with trackpad-like controls

Macworld At a glance Expert's Rating Pros Some Mac trackpad gestures Compact, ergonomic mouse Two scrolling wheels Programmable buttons Connectivity options Cons Software download recommended Right-handed only Premium price Our Verdict The combination of Mac trackpad gestures, compact ergonomic design, and customization make it an interesting alternative to Apples Magic Mouse, particularly for (right-handed) people who find prolonged trackpad use uncomfortable or miss trackpad scrolling when using a mouse, especially if they switch frequently between creative applications and everyday productivity tools. However, its trackpad-like features rely on configurable scrolling and button shortcuts rather than full Multi-Touch gestures, so dont expect the same experience as using a MacBook trackpad. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed $119.99 Best Prices Today: INFTYLAB M Mouse Retailer Price $119.99 View Deal BenQ $119.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide What is it? A customisable Mac mouse with trackpad-style scrolling and programmable shortcuts, but without full Multi-Touch gesture support. Who is it best for? Mac users who want trackpad-like controls and button options on a more accurate mouse. Who should skip it? Left-handed users and anyone wanting the full range of Mac trackpad gestures, including pinch-to-zoom and multi-finger swipes. Apples Magic Trackpad is a better choice for those features. Get ready for some real competition Logitech because theres a new Mac mouse in town that might nibble away at your market share to become the new big cheese. BenQ has long been the maker of many of the best monitors for Mac that have passed through the Macworld Lab. Its Zowie-branded mice, however, havent troubled our Best Mac Mice roundup as most have been aimed at Windows users with dedicated USB dongles that need to be plugged into a computer to link with the mouse, and Mac users prefer a straighter, less fussy Bluetooth connection. Its new INFTYLAB brand is aimed at Mac users, with the six-button M Mouse in the lead and new products on the way including a lightbar engineered for Apples iMac. It even comes in only white, which for a long time was the only color that Apple made its mice, after the boxy Beige period, of course. Which Mac trackpad gestures does the M Mouse support? Its real claim to a close and genuine relationship with the Mac is its dedicated INFTYLAB Glide software that can map trackpad and Multi-Touch gestures to the mouses shortcut buttons that should make mouse scrolling feel more natural to us. You can customize scroll modes and map shortcut buttons; for example, making the scroll direction match your Mac trackpad. Choose Natural in the Glide desktop app for traditional mouse scrolling, where moving the mouses top scroll wheel down pulls the page content down with your fingersmimicking the direct, touch-like feel of a MacBook trackpad. Or pick Standard, where moving the mouse wheel down pushes the page content up like a traditional PC mouse wheel. If you are expecting a bunch of other Mac trackpad gestures such as pinch-to-zoom, Im afraid thats it. But the default Quick Pies options (see below) are kinda similar to swiping in the cardinal directions on the trackpad. The Left Space and Right Space commands reference the different desktop spaces that you can use in macOS. For instance, you have a video playing in full screen but want to check another browser that was open before the video was played. You can swipe into the other spaces to see that page and then swipe back instead of minimizing the video. Essentially, it swaps you between the different virtual desktops that you may be using. Logitech has similar functions in its software for the MX Master 4 mouse. You can set the horizontal scroll wheel for zooming. It is a little jumpy when zooming in on pages in Safari, but it performs better on RAW photosalthough still less than the standard MacBooks trackpad zooms smoothness. The zooming sensitivity setting is not adjustable in the Glide software. Even Apples ambidextrous Magic Mouse that is a hybrid of a touchpad and a traditional mouse is so far the only traditional mouse that supports touch-sensitive top-surface gestures, such as one-finger scrolling, swiping between pages, and double-tapping for Mission Control or Smart Zoom. Like the M Mouse, it doesnt support full four-finger or pinch-to-zoom trackpad gestures. BenQ If you want seamless trackpad gestures, you need to drop your mouse habit and buy the Apple Magic Trackpad that has a glass surface to give you fully native macOS multi-touch capabilities (pinch-to-zoom, rotate, four-finger swipes, and Mission Control). BenQ How customisable are the M Mouses buttons and shortcuts? You can customize the other buttons of the M Mouse. By default, the well-placed side-mounted horizontal scroll wheel has no click function, but it can be set to Forward/Next, while the side button behind it can be set to Previous/Back. The top button is set to take a screenshot but can also be set to Show/Hide the desktop, or Zoom. I found myself accidentally taking screenshots with the loud camera shutter click noise adding to my frustration, so I moved away from the default command. You can set different screen-capture options, such as Capture screen/area/window and Copy screen/area. Set one of the buttons to turn on the Quick Pie shortcut dial. BenQ Another button option is called Quick Pie, which is a pop-up radial (circular) quick-access menu that appears next to your cursor when assigned to and pressed on the designated mouse button. Moving the cursor or clicking in a specific radial direction triggers the corresponding shortcut or command. Once you get the hang of it, it should be faster than using traditional linear drop-down menus. Your settings are saved to the mouse, so you can use it on any Mac device once paired. The eight-button Logitech MX Master 4 is also highly customizable with its own Logi Options+ software, including an Action Ring rather like BenQs Quick Pie. Read our Logitech MX Master 4 review . HowdoestheMMouseconnecttoaMac,andhowlongdoesitsbatterylast? Bluetooth supports multiple paired devices, while the 2.4GHz wireless option provides a low-latency alternative through the included USB-C receiverthis comes with a USB-A adapter for older ports, but will be unnecessary for most Mac users. A USB-C wired connection is available, too, and charges the built-in 500mAh battery while you work. The charging port is positioned at the front of the mouse rather than underneath as it is rather ridiculously on the Apple Magic Mouse. BenQ quotes battery life of up to 90 days, although actual endurance will depend on usage and settings. Mice from left: Apple Magic Mouse, BenQ/INFTYLAB M Mouse, Logitech MX Master 4. Simon Jary How does the M Mouse feel in hand? At 85g, the M Mouse is relatively light, measuring 4.5 x 2.9 x 1.6 inches (115 x 72.5 x 41.5mm). Its specifically designed for small-to-medium hands, so larger-handed users should consider its compact dimensions before buying and may prefer Logitechs MX Master mouse. The Apple Magic Mouse weighs 99g, and the Logitech MX Master 4 is half as heavy again at 150g. In between M Mouse and Apple Mouse, the Satechi Slim EX Wireless Mouse weighs in at 90g. The M Mouse feels comfortable in handif youre right-handed, of course. Sorry, lefties. Its central arc follows the hands natural resting curve, while contoured surfaces and side grooves support the palm, thumb and ring finger. The idea is that your hand can shift between palm, claw and fingertip grips as fatigue builds, rather than being locked into one position. BenQ says the design is informed by ultrasonic muscle-fatigue testing, although individual comfort will depend on your hand size and working habits. The equally rightie-only MX Master is equally ergonomically engineered, and has a larger side horizontal scroll wheel if you have bigger thumbs. How precise is the mouse vs Apple and Logitech? The optical sensor offers adjustable sensitivity from 400 to 6,000dpi, with smart DPI (dots per inch) adjustment for different tasks. The Logitech MX Master 4 has a maximum 8,000dpi, but most users are unlikely to notice much difference in everyday use. Apple doesnt officially publish an official DPI specification for its Magic Mouse, but benchmark databases typically estimate the Magic Mouse sensor at between 1,000 and 1,300dpimaking it unsuitable for fast-paced gaming or tasks requiring rapid precision, but fine for general productivity. The INFTYLAB Flow Desk Mat is a supplementary accessory for the M Mouse BenQ Is the INFTYLAB M Mouse worth the upgrade? At $119.99 / 89.99 , the M Mouse PS01 costs considerably more than a basic wireless mouse such as one of the $29.99 / 29.99 Satechi mice . Its appeal rests on a more specific promise: keeping some of the gestures and scrolling Mac users appreciate while adding the comfort, precision and physical controls of a mouse compared to a trackpad. Logitechs MX Master 4 mouse is similarly priced at $119.99 / 119.99 . Apples Magic Mouse is cheaper at $79.99 / 79.99 , but is less customizable. The Magic Trackpad costs $129.99 / 129.99 . Which Mac mouse should you buy? INFTYLAB M Mouse : Best for right-handed Mac users who want a compact, ergonomic mouse with customisable buttons, scrolling controls and some trackpad-like functionality. Apple Magic Mouse : Best for users who prefer touch-sensitive surface gestures, including swiping between pages and scrolling, rather than physical shortcut buttons. Apple Magic Trackpad : Best for users who want the full Mac trackpad experience, including pinch-to-zoom, multi-finger swipes and Mission Control. Logitech MX Master 4 : Best for users who prefer a larger ergonomic mouse with extensive customisation options, particularly those with larger hands. Should you buy the INFTYLAB/BenQ M Mouse? The INFTYLAB M Mouse is an interesting alternative to Apples Magic Mouse for right-handed Mac users who want a compact, comfortable mouse with programmable controls and some trackpad-like functionality. Its particularly appealing for those who find prolonged trackpad use uncomfortable, miss trackpad-style scrolling when using a mouse, or frequently switch between creative applications and everyday productivity tools. However, its trackpad-like features dont offer the full Multi-Touch experience. If gestures such as pinch-to-zoom and multi-finger swipes are a priority, Apples Magic Trackpad is the better choice. Users with larger hands may also prefer Logitechs MX Master 4. Do you need a mouse mat? No, like all modern optical mice you can use pretty much any smooth surface, but BenQ has something that might tempt you: the Flow Desk Mat ( $34.99 / 34.99 ). Measuring 31.5 x 15.8 inches (800 x 400mm) with a thickness of 0.1 inch (2.5mm), the Flow Desk Mat is a low-resistance faux-leather surface that BenQ says makes M Mouse glide even smoother. A rubber backing increases the mats stability on desktops. If you have the space its a mousing luxury that includes handy clips to route cables as you want them to keep your desk organized. BenQ

Listed partners include Nike, Sephora, Target, Walmart , and merchants using Shopify . However, the Universal Cart does not replace retailers existing responsibilities. Participating stores remain responsible for order confirmation, customer support, fulfillment, and delivery , regardless of the checkout method. US Availability and Future Expansion Google is introducing the Universal Cart in the United States first . The company has not confirmed a broader international rollout, so availability in other markets remains uncertain. By combining AI assistance, price monitoring, promotional offers, and centralized shopping, Googles Universal Cart represents another step toward a more connected online shopping experience . Its impact will depend on retailer participation, feature availability, and how effectively it helps consumers save time and money.
