Here’s a visual interpretation – created by developer Ludovic Fauvet. https://youtu.be/hNjdBSoIa8k The video above is a representation of an old DDoS attack on VideoLAN’s site. VideoLAN is the team that makes our beloved VLC player.

Parking money in fixed deposit at banks is no longer lucrative, many may argue, with many investment options promising handsome returns. In fact, inflation alone ensures that we lose money when we leave it in banks. Clearly this is not what we aim…

The textile manufacturing process is a simple one to follow and in fact hasn’t changed much from how it was first developed.

On Android’s Play Store (or on the iOS App store), there are hundreds of thousands of different music applications like Saavn, Gaana, Wynk and many more. As smartphone user, you have access to any kind of music program imaginable, right from Internet radio and streaming apps to guitar tuners and portable DJ stations. Despite all of this, music streaming was slow to take off, at least in countries like India where even though calls were dirt cheap, data really wasn’t. All of that fortunately changed last year with Jio’s big bang entry into the telecom sector. With data so ridiculously…
After India’s Demonetization in 2016, multiple financial technology companies, or Fintech startups, as they’re called, have been on the rise. While we’ve seen similar versions of the same idea – a mobile wallet, P2P lending, etc – there’s another unique concept emerging as a disruptor. Enter ‘Simpl’. Inception Our entire lives we’ve followed the concept of pay first, use later. Flip this idea. Imagine a set up where you can use or enjoy entities across multiple platforms, and pay the bills later.
