OFFICIAL: Javier Mascherano announces retirement from football

Former Barcelona and Liverpool player Javier Mascherano has officially announced his retirement from football. The 36-year-old last played for Estudiantes in his home country of Argentina. 

Coming through the ranks at the River Plate Academy, Mascherano eventually earned a move to Brazilian team Corinthians in 2005. 

He then joined West Ham United in the Premier League and was eventually signed by Liverpool, where he truly made a name for himself in the highest level of the sport in Europe. 

Mascherano would then join fellow Argentina national team member Lionel Messi at Barcelona in 2010. After spending 7 and a half amazing years in Spain, Mascherano eventually left for China before moving back to Argentina where he called it a day. 

The majority of his achievements came during his time at Barcelona, with an unbelievable team around him. He won the treble with Barcelona in the 14/15 season and was also a part of the team that won the Champions League in 2010/11. 

The Argentinian won 5 each of league titles and the Spanish Cup with Barcelona, along with 3 FIFA Club World Cups and Spanish Super Cups. He has a UEFA Super Cup medal to his name with Barcelona as well. 

For the national team, Mascherano is a two-time Olympic Gold medallist, receiving the honour for the first time in 2004, and following it up in 2008. 

Mascherano was very versatile as a player, and could operate fluently both as a centre back, as well as a defensive midfielder. 

While he has managed to win every trophy available in club competitions, the exit was not quite one that the player was hoping for. He announced his retirement after a 1-0 defeat to Argentinos Juniors in the Argentinian league cup. 

The main reason behind Mascherano’s retirement was a lack of enthusiasm for the game, according to the man himself.

Hackers from North Korea and Russia target COVID-19 vaccine development

Covid-19 induced lock down’s have resulted in the widespread adaptation of the work from home culture and with this has come to the threat of cyber-attacks. Since most of the employees oh high tech companies are working from their homes. Their networks are insecure and are often a reason for their attacks.

Recently, Cyberattacks from North Korea and Russia have targeted the companies researching COVID-19 vaccines and treatments. According to sources, the attacks were aimed at seven leading pharmaceutical companies and researchers in the US, Canada, France, India, and South Korea.

Microsoft corporate vice president of customer security and trust, Tom Burt, stated “Among the targets, the majority are vaccine makers that have COVID-19 vaccines in various stages of clinical trials. It’s disturbing that these challenges have now merged as cyberattacks are being used to disrupt health care organizations fighting the pandemic. We think these attacks are unconscionable and should be condemned by all civilized society.”

The attacker used various methods to carry out the attack including brute force login attempts to steal login credentials. They also used spear-phishing attacks in which they appear as recruiters seeking job candidates.

Though the world is suffering from the pandemic and the cases are increasing. The companies that are trying to create a vaccine successfully are showing some positive response. Amongst them, Pfizer and BioNTech announced their vaccine was 90% effective at preventing symptomatic COVID-19 in trials.

Let’s just hope that these companies get ahead of their schedule and develop the vaccine for the pandemic. The world is suffering under the oppression of COVID-19 and the vaccine is the only hope for all the people on the planet.

Google has been making headlines recently and it seems it is not in a good way. Recently, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet (Parent company of Google) gave out an apology. The official apology was addressed to Europe’s industry chief Thierry Breton. Apparently, the documents regarding tactics to tackle EU rules were leaked online.

According to sources, the leaked internal documents suggested that Google was proposing actions that would counter the strict EU rules on internet companies. It was even lobbying against the EU commissioner according to the leaked documents. Sources state that the senior executive’s from Google and Breton interacted with each other in a video conference earlier this month. It was the third conference in 2020 held between the two organizations.

Brenton stated in an interview that “I’m was not surprised. I’m not naive. I thought it was a bit old fashioned. In any case, yes I had a discussion with Sundar… I told him what I had to tell him….he apologized. (I told him) If you need to tell me something, my door will always be open.”

According to sources, the leaked internal document apparently defined a 60-day strategy against the European Union for pushing stricter rules on internet companies. The android maker planned to involve US-based allies to push back against Brenton.

Pichai stated that he would approach Brenton directly regarding any policy that mentions Google directly. And he also apologized regarding the document stating that he had no idea regarding the contents of the file.

Brenton stated that “The Internet cannot remain a ‘Wild West’: we need clear and transparent rules, a predictable environment and balanced rights and obligations.” He is also set to announce new rules known as the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act together with European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager on 2nd December 2020.

Google and Apple joins the development of 6G

5G is the latest wireless network technology that the world is yet to adapt to completely. Most of the smartphones have been launched with support for the new wireless technology despite it being limited to only a few countries. But the new technology is increasingly becoming the new standard in the smartphone industry. With the launch of new devices like iPhone 12 and Pixel that support 5G, it stands to show just how serious the tech companies really are about the 5G technology.

However, the next generation of networking is already in development in different parts of the world. The revolutionary 6G is said to be 100 to 500 times faster than the current 5G network. And according to sources, Google and Apple both have joined the new 6G industry group. Hence, we can most likely expect 6G iPhones and Pixels to come out by the next couple of years. The supposed Next G Alliance will be holding their first meeting next week and will be led by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS).

Susan Miller ATIS CEO stated, “While the world is exploring opportunities that will light the path to 6G, the US must take timely and critical action to ensure unquestioned leadership in 6G innovation and development. Old models of leadership are not going to play in this new future in light of the geopolitical landscape. If the US is really going to assert its leadership, it’s going to have to act in a new way.”

The Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions is a North America trade association whose primary goal is to “advance North American mobile technology leadership in 6G and beyond over the next decade, while building on the long-term evolution of 5G.” With Apple and Google joining the likes of Charter Communications, Cisco, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Intel, Keysight Technologies, LG Electronics, Mavenir, MITRE and VMware; the world may soon feel the power of 6G revolution.

Insulation and Cooling features for Flagship Smartphones might be very important in the future

Years after years the technology is improving, so as our beloved smartphones. Especially, if we talk about high-end smartphones, most of them are powered by a sheer powerful processor for high-end performance. Battery capacity as well as the capacity of charging adapter is also increasing day by day. There are mostly advantages for all those improvements. But we should not avoid the cons, for example, the heating issue. Like, this is the main issue that most of the smartphone users face in their daily life, for excessive working or gaming. That’s why, it is expected that, in the future, smartphone insulations and cooling features might be very important for every smartphone, especially for the high-end ones.

This solution is mostly needed for gaming smartphone manufacturers, such as Asus, Lenovo, and so on. If you are a gamer and it is your smartphone gaming is like your cup of tea, then every day you have to spend quite a lot of time with your smartphone for gaming. So, in this case, the heating issue is very common. High-end processors and excessive daily usage are the reasons for the heating issue of your phone.

So, in the future, thermal management will be a very important thing. There can be some sophisticated materials, such as graphite or graphene sheets, vapor chambers, and many more. As per the reports of IDTechEx, heat dissipation falls into mainly two categories: firstly, the heat spreaders (graphite) and secondly, thermal interface materials. A number of smartphone manufacturers, such as Huawei, Samsung, Nubia, Xiaomi have to choose any of the heat dissipation processes. In the upcoming days, these things will be the most important when you’ll buy your next smartphone. It can be a good marketing method as well. Like, a better cooling process is equal to a higher price.

Alongside the cooling process, smartphone insulation is another thing to which the smartphone manufacturers have to be more attentive in the future. On the basis of a human skin temperature, things have to go on its way. Who can say, in the future, we’ll use a smartphone with certain air-gaps just like high-end gaming CPUs in the market right now to get rid of this heating issue?

There will be neither any Galaxy Note nor the OnePlus 9 Ultra in 2021

Some reports have come out regarding the future smartphones from 2021. Now it is said that there will be no Samsung Galaxy Note as well as the OnePlus 9 Ultra in 2021. Let’s talk about both the smartphone manufacturers one by one.

In terms of OnePlus, it is going to launch its OnePlus 9 series in the next year. So, quite naturally, we’ve expected that OnePlus will bring a vanilla model alongside the OnePlus 9 Pro and the OnePlus 9 Ultra. But unfortunately, there will be no OnePlus Ultra in the next year, as per the reports.

In this year of 2020, OnePlus has released two smartphones of its OnePlus 8 series: OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro. The company has released four model numbers for the two smartphones for China, Europe, and Asia, India, and North America respectively. The same thing went for the OnePlus Nord, two model numbers: one for India and another for Europe.

As per the availability, OnePlus 9 series is expected to be launched in March 2021. Let’s check out the model numbers of the two upcoming smartphones of the OnePlus 9 series:

OnePlus 9 OnePlus 9 Pro

  • LE2110  LE2120
  • LE2117 LE2127
  • LE2119

Another similar type of news has come regarding the Samsung Galaxy Note. In 2021, Samsung is set to launch its S21 series, in which we’ll be going to get four devices: Galaxy S21, S21+, S21 FE, and S21 Ultra (expected four). On the other hand, in terms of Flip & Folds, Samsung is going to launch three devices: Z Fold 3, Z Flip 3, and Z Fold FE.

But unfortunately, we will miss the next Samsung Galaxy Note in 2021. Moreover, it is also rumored that Samsung is going to replace its Note series with the Z series. As of now, we have no information about this issue.

ZTE Blade V2020, still performing pretty well with its older mid-range chipset

ZTE Blade V2020, still performing pretty well with its older mid-range chipset

Generally, when we buy a new smartphone, there are two main things that come into our minds: technology and performance. Like for example, if a smartphone is launched with relatively older technology (ex: processor), in many cases it lags performance. But, in several cases, we also witness that in spite of having significantly older SoCs, belonged to the mid-range at the time, still very much capable of delivering enough performance for modern applications.

For example, we can take the name of the ZTE Blade V2020. This phone is powered by the MediaTek Helio P70 chipset. Regarding this Helio P70 chipset, it was released in April 2019. So, we can say that it is comparatively older now. This chipset is accompanied by an ARM Mali-G72 MP3 graphics unit. If we consider the chipset as the basis, then for under 300 Euros (~$355), the SoC of the ZTE Blade V2020 is paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. But it lags the dedicated SD card slot. You have to choose between a nano-SIM and a microSD card.

Now let’s talk about the display. This phone has a quite large and bright display. The PWM of the display is limited to a very high frequency of 63,290 Hz and only turns on at brightness levels below 23%. So, people with sensitive eyes can find the benefit in this case. The panel is not super AMOLED or an OLED. It features an IPS LCD display, which is quite good for sensitive eyes. The ZTE Blade v2020 has also managed to bag a good score in terms of the camera and WLAN performance.
