This is why the Audi RS 7 is $120,000 of pure automotive perfection

This is why the Audi RS 7 is $120,000 of pure automotive perfection

The Audi RS 7 is unlike anything on the road. It's powerful, sleek, and oddly practical. It doesn't easily fit into a particular category.
Is it a supercar? Nope - it has four doors and a ton of storage space, two features that supercars typically lack.
Is it a supersedan? Sort of, but it has a hatchback like an old Honda CRX.
So ... it's a fun little hot hatchback? No! It's 16 feet long and costs 120 grand.
A four-door coupe? Perhaps.
When earlier this year Business Insider got the chance to spend a few days behind the wheel of a 2015 Audi RS 7 4.0T quattro Tiptronic, I was on a mission to figure out what this beast is all about.

Soon after Flipkart announced its Big Billion Day Sale from October 13 – 17, Amazon has followed suit with its Great Indian Festive sale to take place on the same dates. And it’s customers who stand to benefit the most.
As we mentioned earlier, Flipkart will opt for an app-only strategy for this year’s shopping sale. However, Amazon is geared up to attract users via app, mobile site as well as desktop! However, take take on Flipkart’s ‘pehle app’ promotion, Amazon has decided to announce app-only deals on Oct 16 and 17.  Besides, Amazon also offers HDFC cashback – 15 percent on app transactions and 10 percent on browser transaction.
It’s an immense opportunity for ecommerce players to take on their rivals in the fight for a slice of a larger market share, considering the festive season is just around the corner and e-commerce industry has been capturing everyone’s attention. While Flipkart is expected to ramp up its preparations to ensure everything goes smooth, Amazon hasreleased some tips to help customers shop effortlessly.
This gives Flipkart yet another reason why the company has to be extra careful about delivering a smooth sales experience. After the whole drama that unfolded last year, the company surely doesn’t want to mess up consumer expectation and experience for the second time. Flipkart’s Big Billion Day sale last year was more of a big disaster day sale for most of its customers. However, Flipkart laughed its way to the bank with Rs 600 crore worth of sales, despite customer ire compelling the company  to issue an apology email.

Dell Reportedly in Talks to Buy EMC



Dell Inc is in talks to buy EMC Corp and is also talking with banks to finance an all-cash offer for the data storage company, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters on condition of anonymity because the negotiations are confidential.
The terms of the negotiations were not immediately known. EMC has a market capitalization of about $50 billion (roughly Rs. 3,25,147 crores) as of Wednesday's close.
The deal could further strengthen the world's third largest personal computer maker's presence among corporate clients at a time when Michael Dell has been trying to transform the company he founded in 1984 into a complete provider of enterprise computing services such as Hewlett-Packard Co and IBM.
Dell spokesman David Flink declined to comment while EMC could not be reached for comment outside regular US business hours.
EMC has been struggling under pressure from activist investor and shareholder Elliott Management Corp, which wants the company to spin off its majority-owned VMware Inc unit.
In August, Re/code reported that EMC was contemplating a deal under which it would be acquired by VMware, which has a market cap of about $35 billion (roughly Rs. 2,27,603 crores).

Gionee Elife E8 to launch in India today

Gionee is all set to launch the Elife E8 in India today at an event in New Delhi with the words. The company is also expected to announce news related to its entry into the Indian e-commerce market.
The device was originally launched in June in China at a price of 3999 RMB (approximately Rs 41,100). There is no word on when the device will release in India nor any information regarding its availability. 
Gionee devices are known for their camera and lookslike the new E8 takes it a notch higher with a 24MP camera. It also claims to be the first Android smartphone to come with lossless imagery at 3X zoom. It also comes fitted with an 8MP front-facing camera.
The E8 sports a 6-inch Super AMOLED display with 1440 x 2540p resolution. It runs Android 5.1 (Lollipop) along with a layer of the company’s Amigo 3.1 software. Under the hood, it comes powered by a 2GHz Mediatek MT6785 octa-core processor and 3GB RAM. The device also gets 64GB onboard storage.
The connectivity options include 4G, NFC, along with other standard options we see in all devices. The dual-SIM smartphone features a fingerprint scanner and dual speakers to support High Fidelity sound. A 3,500mAh battery completes the package.

How Microsoft’s Lumia 950, 950 XL stack up against iPhone 6s and Nexus 6P

With Microsoft’s efforts at reigniting its mobile brand, the latest Lumia 950 was released at an event last night. And now, the leading flagships from Apple, Samsung, Google and Microsoft that run on three different mobile operating systems are out there to choose from. We’ve put all four in the ring to see which one emerges as the winner – at least on paper.
Here’s a spec-to-spec comparison chart of the popular flagship devices out there:
lumia_chart_001
Bottom line
The Lumia 950 and 950XL smartphones come with a 5.2-inch and 5.7-inch display, respectively with 1440 x 2560 pixels of resolution. This puts them at par with the competition. In terms of pixel density, it’s either equal or ahead by leaps compared to other flagships.
Nexus 6P comes with a 5.7-inch display, Snapdragon 810 SoC, 3,450mAh battery
Nexus 6P comes with a 5.7-inch display, Snapdragon 810 SoC, 3,450mAh battery
The 950 gets an IPS display while the bigger 950XL has employed an AMOLED display. At 165 grams, the larger 950 XL is still lighter than the Nexus 6P that also has a 5.7-inch display.
Lumia devices have all the sensors covered. Also, it’s second to none when it comes to processing power too. The 950 is powered by a Qualcomm 808, while the XL is powered with the Snapdragon 810 processor. You can expect both devices to deliver good processing speed.
Both devices offer 32GB on board storage and that’s the only option for now. However, Microsoft has taken a step ahead by offering external memory storage up to 2TB. This is commendable, we must say.
The image shows iPhone 6s
The iPhone 6s will be ship to India starting 16 October
One should expect decent battery life, just in line with the others. The connectivity options include USB Type- C among others. Windows 10 along with USB Type-C gives it an edge over other devices with the ability to transform the smartphone into a full-fledged Windows 10 PC whenever they like. This is a great add-on for enterprise users, especially when clubbed with the Office and other enterprise-related tools that come with Windows 10. The rear snapper of the device is a whopping 20MP Pureview camera and the OIS support will ensure there are no complains when using the camera.
While other devices have opted for fingerprint scanner, Microsoft brings the new iris scanner. It is Windows 10 experience that will be the differentiating factor here.
Another deciding factor will be the pricing. The Lumia 950 is priced at $549 that translates to Rs 35841 and 950 XL at $649 (approximately Rs 42,400). So, with taxes, we can expect the device to be priced slightly higher if and when they arrive here. If Microsoft manages to get the pricing right, it may work in favour of the company.
In a nutshell, Microsoft Lumias are at par with other flagships when it comes to hardware, at least on paper. So, it is now to see how efficiently the device performs. The devices are set to go on sale in November and the initial reviews will give a fair idea about how they will help shape out Microsoft’s future in the mobile space.
