Apple Discontinues 13-Inch M2 MacBook Pro as 14-Inch M3 Model Becomes Base Variant: See Price Difference


Apple introduced its new line of MacBook Pro models, all powered by the company’s latest M3 chip, on Tuesday. At its ‘Scary Fast’ showcase event on the eve of Halloween, the Cupertino, California-based company took the covers off on 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops running on the new 3nm chipset. The new Apple laptops are already up for pre-order in 27 countries, including India, and will go on sale starting November 7. Apple, meanwhile, has already discontinued its lineup of M2-powered MacBook Pro models.

While the M3-powered Mac models are now up for pre-order, the new laptops’ M2 cousins are no longer listed on Apple’s website. This, of course, is not surprising as Apple usually discontinues select older-generation products after launching their refreshed versions. For example, iPhone 14 Pro models were halted after the company introduced the iPhone 15 series at its ‘Wonderlust’ showcase in September. Similarly, Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra were taken off Apple’s site when Series 9 and Ultra 2 models were unveiled at the same event.

This time, however, the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops have replaced three previous models. The M2-powered 14-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pros, launched earlier this year in January, have expectedly been discontinued. Additionally, Apple’s 13-inch MacBook Pro M2 model has also been taken off its website. Tipster Ishan Agarwal first spotted the development and posted about it on X on Tuesday.

This also means that the entry point pricing for a MacBook Pro in India has risen considerably. The now discontinued 13-inch M2 MacBook Pro started at Rs. 1,29,900 for the 256GB SSD storage variant. The 512GB storage variant, on the other hand, came in at Rs. 1,49,900. Now, with no 13-inch MacBook Pro model available, the lineup begins with the base variant of the new 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro, with 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD storage, listed at Rs. 1,69,900 on Apple store. This represents a difference of Rs. 40,000 between the starting prices for previous and current entry-level MacBook Pro models in India.

Both the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models come in M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max powered variants. The 14-inch variant with an M3 Pro chip starts at Rs. 1,99,900, while the M3 Max variant of the laptop comes in at Rs. 3,19,900.

While the pricing for an entry-level MacBook Pro has gone up, the new 14-inch Apple laptop represents a considerable upgrade over its M2-powered 13-inch predecessor. Built on 3‑nanometre technology and featuring a new GPU architecture, the M3 lineup brings processing and graphical improvements compared to the previous generation.

The company’s M3 family of processors are equipped with up to 16 CPU cores, up to 40 GPU cores, and up to 16 Neural Engine cores. All new Apple laptops also come with Liquid Retina XDR (3,024×1,964 pixels) displays with a 120Hz refresh rate. The base 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M3 chip can offer up to 22 hours of battery life on a single charge, Apple claims.

Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban consider ‘leaving America’ after suffering…


Nicole Kidman and her husband, Keith Urban, are reportedly considering a move back to Australia after what has been the worst year for the actress. Following the tragic loss of her mother, Janelle, in September, Kidman returned to Sydney for the funeral. Sources close to the family say she may be facing ‘burnout’ due to work-related tours and emotional strain.

Earlier, she described waking up in the middle of the night gasping and weeping. Urban, who is also looking to take a step back from touring, is focused on supporting his wife as they navigate this emotional chapter together.

Nicole Kidman planning to move back to Australia?

Australian native Kidman may be considering a permanent return to her hometown. A source told Woman’s Day magazine that the Babygirl star and Keith “have had their worst year ever. They’ve barely spent any time together, and she’s faced some of her most distressing moments alone.” The source added, “The big concern is how much more she can endure.” Recently, the actress joined her family, including her younger sister Antonia, in Sydney to mourn the loss of her mother, Janelle who passed away at 84.

The news arrived just hours before Kidman was set to receive the Best Actress award for her role in Babygirl at the Venice Film Festival. Earlier during a GQ interview, she described the heartbreaking loss as “a wake-up-at-3 a.m. crying and gasping kind of thing.”

“Mortality. Connection. Life coming and hitting you, and the loss of parents and raising children and marriage, and all of the things that go into making you a fully sentient human. I’m in all of those places,” she said.

Nicole Kidman facing ‘burnout’ in the US

A source close to the actress revealed that she’s been working relentlessly, even dealing with grief over her mother’s passing by immersing herself in her career. “She’s been through so much, and she seems to be dealing with her grief by throwing herself into work,” the source shared. Her packed schedule is causing concern among friends and family as the actress reportedly grapples with ‘burnout’ while juggling intense press tours and filming commitments.

“There are times when she sleeps on a plane more than a bed. Everyone’s worried about her,” the source added.

Back in 2018, when the Aussie beauty was asked about her plans to move back to Australia, she explained that she and her Aussie husband, Keith Urban, didn’t see themselves making a permanent move. “We’re Nashvillians,” she told US Weekly. “My husband, his career’s there. We’re happy there right now.” The couple reportedly owns a 20-room mansion in Nashville worth $4.89 million, a home in Beverly Hills, and a designer duplex in Chelsea, New York. In addition, they also own a farmhouse in Australia and two penthouses in Sydney.

Hyundai, Kia Recall Over 2 Lakh EVs In US Over ‘Drive Power’ Issue | Auto News


New York: Automakers Hyundai and Kia are recalling nearly 208,000 electric vehicles (EVs) in the US owing to an issue that could cause the vehicles to suddenly lose power. As per filings with the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the issue is with the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) that “may become damaged and stop charging the 12-volt battery, which can result in a loss of drive power.”

“Dealers will inspect and replace the ICCU and its fuse, as necessary. In addition, dealers will update the ICCU software. All repairs will be performed free of charge,” said the recall notification on NHTSA website.

Hyundai is recalling over 145,000 Ioniq and Genesis vehicles, which includes some Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 vehicles. The recall also covers three electrified variants from its luxury brand Genesis, including the Genesis GV60, Genesis GV70, and Genesis G80 from model years 2022-2025.

Nearly 62,872 Kia EV6 vehicles have also been recalled. Dealers will fix the issue for free. After the failure of the ICCU, a series of driver warnings appear, and the vehicle activates a “fail-safe” driving mode that slowly reduces drive power over the course of 20 to 40 minutes.

“A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash,” according to the recall notification. In 2021, over 80,000 Kona EVs were recalled due to a fire risk caused by an LG battery defect after reports of a dozen battery fires.

Earlier this year, Elon Musk-run Tesla recalled more than two million vehicles — almost all of the cars it sold in the US — due to incorrect font size on warning lights. The recall of almost 2.2 million vehicles included nearly all Tesla EV models, including Model S, Model X, 2017-2023 Model 3, Model Y, and 2024 Cybertruck vehicles.

The NHTSA also noted that warning lights with a smaller font size can make critical safety information on the instrument panel difficult to read, increasing the risk of a crash.

Big B reviews Abhishek's new film: Let them say what they say


Amitabh Bachchan tells Abhishek Bachchan, 'Let them say what they say..' as he reviews his film 'I Want To Talk' - Read inside

Abhishek Bachchan‘s film ‘I Want To Talk‘ directed by Shoojit Sircar has just released on Friday, November 22. The film has been getting rave reviews from all over, especially for Abhishek’s performance. He seems to have set his own benchmark high with this one, however, the film hasn’t been getting similar response when it comes to the box office numbers. Amidst all the praise for the movie, Amitabh Bachchan has also penned down his thought about the film at length on his blog.
Big B wrote on his blog. “Some films invite you to be entertained .. some films invite you to BE the film .. I WANT TO TALK .. just does that .. it invites you to BE the film ..! It picks you up up gently from your seat in the Theatre and places you , equally gently , inside the screen it is being projected upon .. and you watch its life floating by .. No effort or chance of wanting to escape from it into … ESCAPISM .. and .. Abhishek .. you are not Abhishek .. you are ARJUN SEN of the film.”
He further quoted his father Harivanshrai Bachchan’s lines and said, “अच्छे ने अच्छा और, बुरे ने बुरा जाना मुझे, जिसकी जितनी जरूरत थी, उसने उतना ही पहचाना मुझे !!
Thus further translating it in English and explaining his context, Big B added, “Let them say what they say .. but this is what I say 👆🏼 .. the say for the film .. And I am in remembrance of my poojya Babuji’s words: The good did think of me to be good ; the bad did think of me as bad .. the need for whichever, was the need for them , did they recognise me with that. It was their ‘need’ to to think of me as good or bad .. whatever was their ‘need’, that was how much they did recognise me .. your greed for the good in me can be good .. your greed to express the bad in me can be bad. But it was YOUR ‘need’ to think good or think bad .. and that was my recognition .. it was not what I was .. IT WAS YOUR NEED TO THINK OF ME AS BAD .. OR THINK OR ME AS GOOD .. THAT WAS how much you could understand me ..”
He concluded by saying, “THE ULTIMATE WHIP OF SARCASM !!!! and reality .. you think of someone as good , because your need is for you to think so .. you think of someone as bad because your need for you is to think so .. your need for the good and the bad was a calculated one , FOR that is how you much you gave value to my recognition !!! the eternal truth of life. It was your need to write falsehood about me .. it was your need to write the goodness in me .. and that need was the value of how much you did recognize me ..recognise me .. not know me .. !!!!😁 the ultimate philosophic sarcasm – satire, the sneering scoffing gibbing trenchancy .. of those that now try desperately to uphold the crumbled pillar of the five .. AND ALL THE EF MUST UNDERSTAND WELL FOR WHOM THIS IS WRITTEN .. !”




Google to Test Ads in Generative AI Search Results as Competition Ramps Up in Search Ads Market

Google to Test Ads in Generative AI Search Results as Competition Ramps Up in Search Ads Market


Alphabet‘s Google will begin experimenting with advertising within search results powered by generative artificial intelligence, the tech giant announced on Tuesday, as it seeks to fend off rival Microsoft in the lucrative search ads market.

Over the past few months, Google and Microsoft have supercharged a race to change how people search for information by infusing their search engines with generative AI, which can provide conversational written responses to queries, synthesize information online and surface relevant websites.

The AI capabilities will also alter how advertisers reach consumers through search engines, a market that is estimated to grow to $286 billion (roughly Rs. 23,65,700 crore) this year, according to research firm MAGNA.

For example, users can search “hiking backpacks for kids” on the new version of Google and the AI could respond with an ad for a particular backpack, along with tips for how to choose the best backpack for a child, Google said.

“This is a new, simpler and helpful way to interact with Google search,” said Jerry Dischler, vice president and general manager of ads, in an interview. “It’s going to be a great opportunity to deliver a delightful user experience that will lead to new commercial opportunities in the future.”

Google unveiled the new version of its search engine earlier this month, called Search Generative Experience, which will roll out over the coming weeks via a wait list.

The company will test the new ad placements using existing ads that appear on traditional Google searches, Dischler said.

During its annual Google Marketing Live event on Tuesday, Google also announced a new conversational chatbot that will assist brands with the process of creating ads.

Advertisers can input their website and the AI chatbot will recommend headlines, specific keywords and images to include in an ad to grab a consumer’s attention, Google said.

The tech giant already offers a tool that can automatically generate ads for brands. That tool will now have generative AI capabilities and can create ads based on the context of a user’s query, Google said.

If a consumer searches for products for dry and sensitive skin, Google could automatically create an ad for a skincare brand with the headline “soothe your dry, sensitive skin,” the company said.

While Google is the leader in search advertising, its new features come as Microsoft has moved quickly to be a challenger.

Microsoft has already begun testing ads in its Bing AI-powered search engine and held meetings with ad agencies as early as February.

Google I/O 2023 saw the search giant repeatedly tell us that it cares about AI, alongside the launch of its first foldable phone and Pixel-branded tablet. This year, the company is going to supercharge its apps, services, and Android operating system with AI technology. We discuss this and more on Orbital, the Gadgets 360 podcast. Orbital is available on Spotify, Gaana, JioSaavn, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and wherever you get your podcasts.

Diljit Dosanjh's Pune Concert Goes Dry After Maharashtra Excise Dept Cancels Liquor Permit

Diljit Dosanjh's Pune Concert Goes Dry After Maharashtra Excise Dept Cancels Liquor Permit


Pune: In a last-minute move, the state excise department, on Sunday cancelled the permit for serving liquor at Punjabi singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh’s musical concert in the Kothrud area of Pune city.

The decision comes after strong protests from the youth wing of the NCP party and senior BJP leader Chandrakant Patil, along with some local residents and organisations, against serving liquor at the event.

Excise Department SP CB Rajput, while speaking to ANI, said, “We had received an application from the owner of the venue, and he had raised an objection, seeking that serving liquor should not be allowed at the concert. Therefore, acting on the application, we have denied permission to serve liquor at the concert, and the organisers of the concert have also been informed about it.”

NCP Pune President Deepak Mankar, in a press note shared by NCP officials, said, “We oppose Diljit Dosanjh’s program being held at Kakade Farm today, November 24. Due to this program, the citizens of Kothrud will face problems like the open sale of liquor, loud noise, and traffic jams. We demanded that the organisers cancel this program immediately. We are always against those who spoil the culture of Kothrud. If the concert is not canceled, an agitation will be launched on behalf of the Nationalist Congress Party against the event organisers.”

Senior BJP leader Chandrakant Patil also said, “I am opposed to Diljit Dosanjh’s music concert to be held at Kakade Farm in Kothrud, Pune, as a local MLA and as a citizen. I am not only opposed to the sale of liquor, but also the traffic jams and loud noise caused by this event. I have given instructions to the Police Commissioner, Excise Department, and District Collector to cancel this event.”

“Such an event is a pest in society. If this event happens in Kothrud, a big march will be taken out on behalf of the Bharatiya Janata Party, and I will lead this march myself,” he added.

The concert was scheduled for 7 pm on the open ground of Suryakant Kakade Farms in Kothrud on Sunday.

Opposition to the concert also included concerns over sound pollution due to the installation of a large number of loudspeakers. Many protesters demanded the cancellation of the concert entirely.

To maintain law and order, police personnel were deployed at the venue of the event amidst protests.

Earlier this month, Diljit during his Ahmedabad concert stated that he would stop making songs on “sharab” if the government declared a nationwide ban on it.

“Jitni bhi states hai humare yaha, agar woh saari apne aap ko dry state ghoshith kardeti hai, agle hi din Diljit Dosanjh apni life mein kabhi sharab pe gaana nahi gayega. Main pran karta hoon. Hosakta yeh? (If all of India’s states declare themselves as dry states, then Diljit Dosanjh won’t ever sing songs on alcohol. I promise. Can that happen?),” he asked.

“Bohut bada revenue hai yeh. Corona mein sab bandh hogaya tha, theke bandh nahi huye the. Kya baatein karrahe ho aap? Aap youth ko fuddu nahi bana sakte (It’s a huge revenue source. During COVID-19, everything shut down except alcohol shops. What are you saying? You can’t fool the youth),” he added.

Meanwhile, Diljit’s Dil-Luminati Tour will continue with performances in Kolkata (November 30), Bengaluru (December 6), Indore (December 8), Chandigarh (December 14), and Guwahati (December 29).

iQOO 13 Tipped to Get New Heat Dissipation System, Supercomputing Chip Q2


iQOO 13 is expected to launch soon with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. The Vivo sub-brand is yet to announce a launch date but details about the handset are appearing on the Web. A new leak coming out of China suggests that the upcoming handset will get a new chip and heat dissipation system with a single-layer motherboard. The initial launch of the iQOO 13 could take place in China in November and it is expected to launch in India in early December. The iQOO 13 is likely to draw power from a 6,150mAh battery.

A Weibo user familiar with the matter claims that the iQOO 13 will come with a new heat dissipation architecture with a single-layer motherboard for thermal management. The handset is said to boast a new VC heat sink as well (machine translated from Chinese).

The same user in a separate post states that iQOO 13 will feature the company’s self-developed Q2 chip for gaming. Last year’s iQOO 12 and iQOO Neo 9 series pack Supercomputing Chip Q1 and are advertised to enable 144fps (frames per second) gaming experience.

iQOO 13 isn’t new to the rumour mill and is expected to be launched in India between December 1 and December 10, following its initial debut in China. It could be priced at around Rs. 55,000 in the country.

iQOO 13 Specifications (Expected)

The iQOO 13 is tipped to come with a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with 2K resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. It could run Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC with up to 16GB RAM and up to 512GB storage. The handset is likely to carry a triple rear camera setup, led by a 50-megapixel primary camera alongside a 50-megapixel ultrawide sensor and a 50-megapixel 2x telephoto camera. It could pack a 32-megapixel front camera.

iQOO 13 is said to ship with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor and a metal middle frame. It is said to pack a 6,150mAh battery with 100W fast charging support. It may have an IP68-rated build for water and dust resistance.

Windows 11 Update Brings Native Support for RAR, 7-Zip, Other File Formats: Report

Windows 11 Update Brings Native Support for RAR, 7-Zip, Other File Formats: Report


Microsoft Windows users know all too well about RAR and 7-Zip formats that allows users to store files in a compressed state to reduce their sizes. All Windows users have a third-party tool like WinRar installed on their system to access RAR files. That will no longer be necessary. Earlier this year, Microsoft had announced new features for Windows 11, including native RAR support. Now, the company is reportedly rolling out the feature as part of a Windows update.

Microsoft has issued an optional KB5031455 Preview Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for the month of October. According to a report from Beeping Computer, the update adds support for 11 new file archive formats, namely .rar, .7z, .tar, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.zst, .tar.xz, .tgz, .tbz2, .tzst, and .txz.

With native support for archive file formats like RAR and 7-Zip, Windows users would no longer need a third-party app like WinRAR to access compressed files. To install the optional update, users can head to Windows 11 Settings, and click the ‘Windows Update’ button on the Home or System menu. If your system has not yet received the update, you should get a message that reads: ‘2023-10 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5031455) is now available.’ Click Download & install to get the update, which adds support for archive file formats, including RAR. Once Windows is updated, users would be able to open, extract, and edit archive files without the need for any third-party tools.

Back in May, Microsoft had first announced that Windows would be getting native RAR support, alongside a slew of new features. The company had said that Windows 11 would bring support for TAR (Tape Archive), 7-zip, RAR (Roshal Archive), GZ (Gzip), and other archive formats.

Microsoft had also said that Windows 11 would get support for accessing app instances in the taskbar with a click, hiding the date and time, and shutting down apps from the taskbar without the Windows Task Manager.

In September, the company updated Windows to support its new AI-powered Copilot assistant. Copilot adds a revamped Bing Chat to Windows 11, capable of generating summaries of web pages, toggling system controls, and provided text and image-based responses to your queries.

Last month, a transcript of a fireside chat at the Citi 2023 Global Technology Conference revealed that Microsoft could be gearing up to release Windows 12 next year. “We actually think ’24 is going to be a pretty good year for client, in particular, because of the Windows refresh,” the transcript quoted Intel CFO David Zinsner as saying, pointing at a 2024 release for Windows 12.

Windows 11 was released in 2021 and is now running on over 400 million monthly active devices. The popular operating system is expected to hit 500 million active devices by 2024.
