It's not the first time we hear something about a Chinese company ripping off somebody's work - as Jeremy Clarkson once put it, "copyright infringment doesn't translate terribly well in Mandarin". Also, Xiaomi has been open about following Apple's marketing strategy and design for years. Yet now that the company has outgrown that phase it's somewhat disappointing to learn Xiaomi took Peter Tarka's work (a 3D artist) without permission. To make matters worse, the image was actually commissioned by its rival LG. You can see the two images below and how (almost) identical they are. Some of the ramps have been removed to make room for Xiaomi's products but the resemblance is too great to be coincidental. Original • Xioami's promotional image The images were used in Xiaomi's official Spanish webpage but have been removed since. And here are some other elements that Xiaomi used like the chair in the left image and the lamp in the righ

The highly-referred quote, “ the best things in life are free “, by French fashion designer  Coco Chanel  is often read without the part succeeding it, “ the second best are very expensive “. Looking at this from the perspective of smartphones, you’ll agree that while some of the greatest apps for both Android and iOS are the ones available for free, there are many great apps which require you to pay. For example, while games like PUBG Mobile and Fortnite are great examples for the dandy freebies, other games like Final Fantasy, Limbo, The Room Series, and more are not. If only there was a way to get paid apps for free. Well, for those of you who do not wish to (or cannot, for some reason) pay for such apps and games, we have listed some of the sources you can use to  grab paid apps for free legally . Most of the options listed here will serve Android users whereas a few apply to iOS, Windows, and macOS users as well. Get Paid Apps For Free Using These Services 1.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) Lite is finally making its way to India. After launching in countries like Hong Kong, Taiwan, Brazil and Bangladesh, the lightweight version of the game has been confirmed to soon release in one of the biggest markets for the battle royale game. The official PUBG India Facebook page has posted an image which includes a silhouette of the Taj Mahal with the words ‘PUBG LITE Coming Soon.’ PUBG Lite is a toned down version of the original PC Version. It is compatible with lower-end PCs and laptops, so you don’t need a dedicated GPU to get the best experience as an integrated one should be enough to run the game smoothly. Check out the system requirements: Minimum System Requirements OS: Windows 7,8,10 64Bit CPU: Core i3 @2.4Ghz RAM: 4GB  GPU: Intel HD 4000  HDD: 4GB Recommended System Requirements OS: Windows 7,8,10 64Bit -- - - CPU: Core i5 @2.8Ghz  RAM: 8GB GPU: Nvidia GTX 660 or AMD Radeon HD 7870 HDD: 4GB While the offici

Apple announced today that its  new Mac Pro  starts at an already pricey $6,000, but the company neglected to mention how much the top-of-the-line model will cost. So we shopped around for equivalent parts to the top-end spec that Apple’s promising. As it turns out: $33,720.88 is likely the  bare minimum  — and that’s before factoring in the four GPUs, which could easily jack that price up to around $45,000. For all that dough, big-budget video editors and other creative types get a lot of firepower: a 28-core Intel Xeon W processor, an almost-impossible-to-comprehend 1.5TB of RAM, 4TB of SSD storage, and four AMD Radeon Pro Vega II Duo GPUs — assuming you can afford one. Add in a  Pro Display XDR monitor  (and  a Pro Stand to go with it ), and you’re looking at a workstation that could clear $50,000. Keep in mind too that these estimates are based on market prices for these (or similar) parts: Apple historically has charged far more for its pre-built configurations than fo

Back in March, Xiaomi started sending out beta builds of the Android 9 Pie update for both the  Redmi 6 Pro   and the   Redmi Note 5 Pro   to interested testers in India. And now it looks like all the bugs have been ironed out, because the stable update is rolling out for both devices. It's arriving over-the-air in India, as MIUI 10.3.2.0.PDMMIXM for the Redmi 6 Pro, weighing in at 1.6GB. This release includes the May 2019 security patch level. You also get face unlock support for App lock, the ability to stay on the lock screen after using face unlock, and to restrict the opening of the notification shade on the lock screen. As you'd expect, plenty of bug fixes are built-in too. If you have the Redmi Note 5 Pro in India, then you're getting MIUI 10.3.1.0.PEIMIXM based on Android 9 Pie, and this also comes in at around 1.6GB and packs the May 2019 security patch level, but no specific MIUI-only changes according to the changelog. Both updates are rolling out in
