Netflix in India: A Brand New Technology
Netflix is finally launched in India. Co- founder and Chief Executive Reed Hastings said, “It is one of the cross-platform video streaming service through which users can watch content on screens from smartphones to a smart television”. The video streaming service works with various devices such as Smart TV platforms and Microsoft Xbox. Moreover, Netflix is also offering a one-month free trial package where people can select between any of the three monthly packages such as Basic, Standard and Premium.
Pricing Options:
For India, Netflix has the same pricing compared to its US market. If you sign up using your PC, you get three options- Rs.500 (Basic) and with basic plan you can watch movies and shows once on a single screen. Basic plan allows streaming in SD (Standard Definition). For Rs.650 per month (Standard) you can access two simultaneous screens. Rs.800 (Premium) plan allows streaming in UHD (Ultra-high Definition). First month is free for all users. Further, for payment, you can pay using a credit card and PayPal. $1(Rs.70) is charged during signup to authenticate your card as an initial fee. Netflix standard subscribers now pay $8.88 per month, not much more than the Rs 600 base price in India.
Content:
At the time of signup process, you have to specify if you are an adult above 18 years. This means there will be no censored content as everything will be rated. During profile creation, Netflix allows you to identify children and helps in parental control. Talking about local Indian content, there arelatest Bollywood movies included such as Lootera, Piku, Youngistaan, Heropanti and even some classic movies such as Hum Apke Hai Kaun, Shor in the city and AndaazApnaApna. This streaming giant seems to have well-balanced international and local content. Netflix has gained popularity in the Indian market within two days of its launch and it seems the company may crack some deals in terms of content in the near future.
While opting for this video streaming application remember you can’t download any videos as streaming an HD movie can take as much as 3GB data. Ensure yourbroadband plansoffer big data cap for its fair usage policy. For smooth streaming 5MBPs connection is suggested by Netflix or else it can be an expensive plan for you.
In India, broadband speed can be one of the major issue. Cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore do have good internet speeds, but most parts of India still have speed issues with broadband. This can be a challenge for Netflix to have a firm grasp in the Indian market.

The new iPad Pro is specially launched for business users which comes in 12.9 inch screen for the current full size iPad.

It comes paired with Apple’s iOS 9 operating system, providing the tablet features including Apple’s low power battery saving mode and Split view Multitasking. Basically, the iPad Pro will also offer apps specially designed for Apple Pencil Stylus with firms like Adobe and Microsoft.

The demo has been previewed spilt screens with PowerPoint presentation and Microsoft Word. They were trailed by an executive at Adobe, who showed a new app known as Photoshop Fix.
New iPhones with '3D Touch'
The New iPhones were launched within half an hour during Apple’s presentation. It may look familiar, but they have changed everything about these new iPhones. Its new addition is “3D Touch”, with screen sensors to detect between extended finger pressures and a light lap to activate different functions. You can have access for taking a selfie by pressing down the slider on the new iPhones. This 3D touch will show the page link without opening the browser through the message box. These iPhones come with 12 megapixel iSight with improved sensor cameras.
In the drawing apps, the 3D touch display also has a few more actions with the capacity to sense pressure. By pressing harder you can create thicker lines and by lighter you can create thinner line. For multitasking view, press alongside the left hand side of the home screen.

People remained inspired to complete this program. Several people have lost weight, quit smoking and cut down their drinking habits through support groups. Never make New Year Resolutions just to tell your family and friends about it but aim to attain it .
Stick to your Resolution:
It doesn’t matter how much support you have around you or how much you planning you have done. Sticking to your resolution completely depends on you. Never give up! This is the only key to succeed.

Tips to get Slimmer in 2016
Tightening your core and blasting belly fat requires just a few easy steps! Begin in your kitchen with basic exercises and do it anywhere without any gym membership or any special equipment. Follow these eating habits and routine exercises and you’ll be amazed to know how fast you can get slimmer, toned and sculpted.
1.Eat a Breakfast rich in proteins:
Breakfast is the most vital meal for the day. Studies suggest, eating a healthy breakfast especially rich in proteins eases hunger. Remember to begin your day with breakfast rich in proteins. Get your metabolism moving and feel energized as well as satisfied until lunch. For breakfast consider having almond butter, smoothie with greens and egg white scrambles with veggies or some fruits of your choice.
2.Use fresh herbs:
Fresh herbs such as basil, parsley and mint add flavour to food without adding more calories. This limits your craving to add more salt (which adds to bloating) and helps cut down calories with minimal use of butter and oil.
3.Eat an afternoon snack:
Hélène Charlebois, health coach and registered dietitian says, “what derails most people’s regular diets,” is the witching hour after 4 pm, when desires set in and lead to bad choices of food. Keep hunger in check with an afternoon snack like yoghurt and berries or peanut butter with an apple. Lots of people have legitimate cravings especially during noon. They need fuel to meet their hunger pangs. In such cases, skipping snacks can lead to overeating at the next meal.
4.Treat yourself:
“Losing weight is not about giving up all of your favourite foods,” says Nutritionist Jenny Barber. Treating yourself during dieting is not only helpful to get slim but keeps you motivated to follow a proper diet plan. Moreover, it can actually help prevent a decrease in your metabolic rate along with reduced food binges.
5.Cook yourself:
Try to prepare food yourself and get the best intake of fresh ingredients. If you don’t like cooking, don’t worry! Start slowly by eliminating one restaurant meal a week. Cooking yourself leads to lower sugar, fat and salt in your diet and can help you get slimmer.
6.Exercise to get a slim, toned and sculpted figure:
Several exercise gurus have launched hundreds of abdominal exercises to achieve a sculpted figure. To achieve a slimmer body start connecting the dots between your body and mind. It is suggested to keep exercise simple and focus on your breath and movement. You can opt for exercises such as Plank, Cardio and Sit-ups
