Microsoft unveils first Lumia smartphone without Nokia name

Microsoft Corp said it would roll out its Lumia 535 smartphone this month with an affordable price tag in its key markets, dropping the Nokia name just months after buying the Finnish company's handset business.

Microsoft unveils first Lumia smartphone without Nokia name

Loaded with its latest Windows Phone 8.1 operating system, the Lumia 535 and Lumia 535 dual SIM will be priced at around 110 euros (about $137) before taxes and subsidies, Microsoft said in a statement.

The phone will feature a wide-angle 5 megapixel front-facing camera and a 5-inch qHD display screen, the company said.

Smartphones run on Microsofts' Windows software, mostly Lumias, captured only 2.7% of the global smartphone market in the second quarter, down from 3.8 percent the year before, according to research firm Strategy Analytics.

Microsoft completed its $7.2 billion deal to buy Nokia's handset business in April. Nokia continues as a networks, mapping and technology licensing company. It owns and manages the Nokia brand and only licenses it to Microsoft.

Microsoft had said in the past it planned to license the Nokia brand for its lower-end mobile phones for 10 years and to use the name on its smartphones only for a "limited" time, without saying how long that might be.

With 500 million active users, Facebook's Messenger app now to compete with Whatsapp

Facebook's Messenger app which provides with the instant messaging service has now hit 500 million monthly active users.

As quoted in bussinessinsider.in, "Today more than 500 million people are using Messenger each month and we're more committed than ever to make it the best possible messaging experience," said Facebook's director of product management, Peter Martinazzi in a press release.

With 500 million active users, Facebook's Messenger app now to compete with Whatsapp

The app had only 200 million users till April this year after its launch in 2011 but after the disabling of the messaging functionality in August from the main Facebook app, the users were bound to download the Messenger app.

The decision to transform Messenger into a required application annoyed its consumers in the beginning but the app immediately topped at the App Store. However its review page was immediately flooded with one-star ratings from disappointed users and those agonized over the app's privacy.

"Asking everyone in our community to install a new app is a big ask. I appreciate that that was work and required friction. We wanted to do this because we believe that this is a better experience. Messaging is becoming increasingly important. On mobile, each app can only focus on doing one thing well, we think." Mark Zuckerberg said to bussinessinsider.in

The sudden hike in Messenger's users reflects that the app is presently competing with Whatsapp, which reached 600 million active users in August 2014. Messenger was the first and the only software application whose motive was to provide only messaging service to its users unlike the other Facebook applications.

"With Messenger, you can reach people instantly. It is just as fast as SMS but gives you the ability to express yourself in ways that SMS can’t. You can send stickers or videos, take selfies, chat with groups and make free calls. We’ve also continued to improve speed and reliability. Updates to Messenger ship every two weeks so it continues to evolve and improve.This is an exciting milestone but with a half billion people relying on Messenger to communicate and connect, it is also a reminder that there is so much left for us to do." said Peter Martinazzi.

Old 'Bajirao Mastani' poster featuring Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor still in Sanjay Bhansali's office?

Finally, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani has seen the light of the day with Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra joining the cast. But history has it that the film has undergone several changes in its casting ever since it was conceptualised.

Old 'Bajirao Mastani' poster featuring Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor still in Sanjay Bhansali's office?

Initially the film was planned to go on floors after Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Salman Khan and Rani Mukerji in lead roles. But after Aishwarya and Salman's love affair went kaput, SLB decided to cast Kareena as Mastani. It was then that Salman and Kareena even shot for the film's poster. Salman has even cropped his hair for the poster back then.

Post that, the film still took a long time to go on floors and in between that, Sanjay and Salman had a major showdown post which Sanjay decided to cast Hrithik Roshan for the film. And that too did not fall in place. And rumours had it that the director then approached Ajay Devgn and Shah Rukh Khan, both of whom turned down the role.

It was only after Ram Leela's success that he decided to make his ambitious film with Ranveer and Deepika in the lead playing Peshwa Bajirao and Mastani with his Mary Kom heroine Priyanka Chopra playing Kashibai!

But we hear that the old poster featuring Salman and Kareena still lies in SLB office! Such memories, we say.

Parineeti Chopra: People need to stop saying that I dress badly!

Her last film Daawat-e-Ishq didn't fare well at the box office nor did it manage to impress the audience. But Pari isn't really worried because she is all geared up to charm the masses with her new film and her completely new avatar…

Parineeti Chopra: People need to stop saying that I dress badly!

She is fierce, she is funny and she is smoking hot – that's the new Parineeti Chopra in a nutshell. As always, it was super fun to chat with Pari but before we got down to business, she told us she won't entertain any boring questions. Read on to know how our conversation turned out to be…

How have you managed not to have any cat fights with any of your contemporaries so far ?
Arey….we are such good people...we don't fight with anyone...we are so nice (laughs). Jokes apart, I will tell you what really it is. You know we genuinely like each other and most of us know each other even before we became actors. So there is no reason to suddenly not like each other. That bond has carried forward. Also, we know that there is work for everyone and I don't need to cut you to get your film. We all have different personalities and we are getting films accordingly. We spend so much time with each other and party together that there is no time for a fight. And I don't why this is surprising. If there is an article which comes out, I can call them up and say, 'listen this is what I said and this is what is written so please ignore.' Otherwise somebody else can start judging you.

What made you sign Kill Dil?
The director! I was dying to do a film with Shaad sir. He is one of those directors on your wishlist. And the first thing said to me when the film was offered to me was that it will be directed by Shaad. That was like the first tick on the check list. Then they said we need you to be only in western avatar. So that was the second tick and the it was Yash Raj Films so what else would you want. It was just awesome doing the film.

Initially, you were criticized for fashion but people are praising you for your style.
I honestly and genuinely feel relieved and I really worked hard at it. You know fashion is one area which has never been my strength. In the beginning, I just didn't know what would look nice on me. When someone would say oh this is Louis Vuitton, you should wear it, I would wear it and look shit in it. I had no idea. But then I realised that you first need to understand your body. And that along with having a good stylist is very important. Also, I need people to stop saying that I dress badly. I need them to say, 'Oh she dresses well, she acts well.' I don't want any negativity around me. So I want to improve that.

Sonam Kapoor recently applauded you for blasting some reporters. Comment.
Approval by another girl is always great and approval by another actress is even better. Honestly, I spoke with a lot of respect and in both instances it was a guy who was being dumb. I am not some bhartiya naari with agenda but in both these instances I felt the need to voice myself. Also, I am an actress so if I say something I feel it will make a difference, so I said it. But it's not my hobby to blast reporters (laughs).

After Kill Dil, you will be taking a break for eight to nine months?
I meant to say that my next release will be probably after eight to nine months. Even if I start shooting now, it will be ready after eight to nine months...itna time lagta hai. The Saif (Ali Khan) film is signed but we are not shooting because he was busy and I was too with Kill Dil. So we have pushed it and we don't know when we are going to start shooting for it. So I don't know what my next film is going be right now. Let's see how Kill Dil does and then I will take decisions.

Big B praises Akshara Haasan's performance

Akshara Haasan has received praise from the highest quarters, and papa Kamal Haasan says he is jealous.

Big B praises Akshara Haasan's performance

It seems the Big B saw rushes of B Balki's Shamitabh in which Akshara makes her debut alongside the Big B, and sent her a message of appreciation. Says the proud papa in mock-jealousy, "Amitji texted Akshara. I told her she's one-up on me because I never received any text from him praising my performance."

On a more serious note, Kamal Haasan is excited about his younger daughter's acting debut. "Like my elder one Shruti, Akshara has done what she has to. She started by assisting Rahul Dholakia. Then before I knew it she had signed her first film as an actor."

Incidentally Akshara's immediate co-star in Shamitabh is Dhanush who has done a Tamil film with Akshara's sister and is said to be "extremely protective" of Akshara.

Says a source from the Shamitabh team, "Dhanush helps Akshara with her lines, bails her out when she gets stuck in a scene. He is very much the protective friend on the sets."

The butterflies have gone, writes Niranjan Iyengar

There are films that impress you and there are movies that move you. I prefer the latter. Some emotions are so deeply embedded in you that when you see even a pale interpretation of them on screen, they push you into the throes of nostalgia.

The butterflies have gone, writes Niranjan Iyengar

When I was invited for the preview of Tapaal (Post), a Marathi film, the jaded film technician in me was not at all prepared for the ride into memories of childhood and adolescence, lost amidst the buzz of my professional life. It wasn't so much about the story or the narrative of Tapaal as much as it was about what it evoked in me – a deep sense of longing!

How many times have we, through our adolescence, heard the words, "Grow up!" or "Stop behaving like a child"! And they never made sense then. But despite being annoying, the words gave a strange comfort that `growing up' perhaps had all the answers to our questions. And then the years pass and it just dawns on you that there are no answers… just more questions!

Tapaal is set in a small village in the 80s and explores an unusual friendship between a childless couple and a young boy going through growing up pangs. As the film ended I couldn't stop crying. Even as I was expressing my thoughts to writer Mangesh Hadawale and director Laxman Utekar, I was suppressing the tears that threatened to spring into my eyes. They did look surprised and may have thought of it as an over-reaction, but something in me had been stirred. I laughed off my response as some `age-related' reaction till it dawned on me this morning that it wasn't so.

I was actually reliving the emotions of my teenage years that now seem so far away. And while I prayed through all those years to grow up, today, I miss them. I miss those precocious, heart wrenching, laughter filled, warm moments, where even when you were making friends or enemies there was no pressure to keep the decision permanent, where you were allowed to change your mind, trespass boundaries and even hurt people without being judged.

Adolescence is about confusion, anxiety, anger, lust, love… It's like the first rain of the monsoon and no matter how much it pours after that, the fragrance is never really the same. Each of us has a different notion of what growing up is but for me, it lies in a deep sense of regret that no matter how much or how hard I try, I will never feel the way I did when I was 15, 16 or 19…

I still remember the butterflies in my stomach the first time I was going to confess my love and it's sad that with passing years, the butterflies keep reducing till they cease to exist. That's the saddest part of growing up. You lose the butterflies!

Survey Revealed: How to Get Rid of Dark Under Arms

DARK UNDERARMS – Causes, Remedies & Prevention. Dark underarms is one of most common beauty problems faced by many women – it is a real turn down especially since it poses constraints on wearing sleeveless tops which ultimately results in being self-conscious when it comes to dressing. Dressing of course has a major influence on our confidence levels so we must not let anything restrict ourselves to pick and wear the attire of our choice.

Survey Revealed: How to Get Rid of Dark Under Arms

Recently during my parlor visit for a regular waxing session this topic came for discussion since my friend badly wanted to get some solution to this problem. Thought of sharing with you all about the topic and further investigation of the problem. So here am trying to cite the major causes of dark underarms and remedies, preventive measures etc.

Major Causes:
Frequently wearing tight dresses, especially made of synthetic material, which are skin tight around the arm pit area (this will be worse if you’re overweight) which causes friction between skin and cloth and thus leads to dark underarms.
Hair removal by Shaving or Hair Removing creams: Shaving removes only those hairs which are above the skin surface and underarm area will appear dark since the hair follicles beneath skin are still visible in the form of black spots. Same is the case with hair removing creams and additionally certain chemicals in the cream might react and worsen the darkening effect. Neither shaving nor hair removing creams removes hair from its roots.
Negative reactions to Anti-Perspirants or deodorants: Alcohol and few chemical ingredients in these react badly on skin to cause darkening, especially anti-perspirants are supposed to be harsher than deodorants.
Dead Skin Bulid-up: As is the case with face and body, dead skin cells accumulate in under arm area and many times dirt and sweat accumulation makes things even worse and make it stubborn & thus difficult to remove.
Medical Conditions: Discoloration of underarm area can also be due to a medical condition called Acanthosis Nigricans, which is related to insulin production or some glandular disorder. If you have dark underarms and hyper-pigmentation around the base of your neck, please go get your blood sugar checked. These can be symptoms of type II diabetes and most people don’t know they have this. Intake of androgen-based contraceptives also contributes to darkening.
Apart from these, Genetics is also one factor and dark underarms may be passed on as heredity from past generations.
Remedies:

You can try a home made pack similar to what we use for face, with ingredients that have skin whitening properties- like a combination of lime+cucumber juice with a pinch of turmeric or besan+yogurt or sandalwood paste+rose water etc. Regular use will have positive effects but don’t expect an immediate solution.
Many commercial products are also available in market to lighten dark underarms but it is always advisable to go for something which is prescribed by your dermatologist which will generally have ingredients like salicylic acid, AHA, lactic acid, Retinol etc which are proven for their skin lightening properties.
If you suspect any medical condition contact your doctor and get it treated medically.
Once you find out what works well for you, and have shown positive results it is equally important to take some preventive measures to ensure your underarms stay clean n clear for ever.

Prevention:

Avoid tight fitting dresses, at least don’t wear them every day and choose cotton rather than synthetic material for daily use especially during summer when we sweat profusely…
Switch to waxing and stop shaving/using hair removing creams. You can really feel the difference in skin in terms of color, texture and growth of hair. Since waxing gets rid of hair from the roots the area stays clean and soft and hair grows back slowly without much thickness too.
Be conscious of the ingredients in deodorants, better to avoid anti-perspirants which have harsh chemicals and pick deos especially which are free of alcohol and strong fragrance. I personally feel it is always better to stick on to body spray/splashes rather than roll-ons since the application is more hygienic when it comes to spray. Avoid using all these while at home instead dust on some anti-fungal powder to absorb sweat if it is really required.
Regularly exfoliate your underarm area with a good body scrub, at least twice a week while you take shower-this will remove all dead cells, traces of deos, sweat and impurities. Make sure you moisturize the sensitive skin after exfoliation.
You may need to keep track of your weight too. Excess flabby arms lead to dark armpits due to rubbing skin against skin.
Now following are few things which have really helped me to prevent darkening of underarms.

I do regularly exfoliate with my favorite St.Ives apricot body scrub and am sure it works!!This is followed by applying a body moisturizer which will ensure the skin is not dried out.

I prefer waxing – really hate the way skin feels after shaving be it arms, legs or underarms which makes my skin dry so I never opt for shaving.

I always stick on to a mild deodorant – Dove is my personal favorite since it is quite moisturizing and has a mild fragrance-been using it for many years. Absolutely loving the new Dove deo with cucumber and green tea extract which has a refreshingly pleasant & mild fragrance and smell is quite long lasting too…I love to experiment with perfumes but not deodorants since it is being used in underarms where skin is quite sensitive.
In short just a little care is required to prevent darkening of underarms which would surely yield beautiful and long lasting results!!
