My quest for a portable mp3 player for the gym under ₹5000 ($75) | India

Well, I have started hitting gym lately to get back in the shape (yes, being a programmer with a desk job really equates to a lot of coffee). Also, if you are an engineer/nerd, you would know how music plays a key role in how we function in our day to day life. Music is a must. Anywhere. Anytime. I am not kidding when I say anywhere! Don't believe me? Let's see. On my way from home to work in the morning, I prefer hooking my car's ICE to pop/metal music. Upon reaching the work, I plug in my Sony MDR-XB450 (review here) to hear some chiptune (8-bit music, it keeps me hooked to work). Then on …

Ha! No, Bitsnapper is not turning into some shaddy "How-to" site. It still remains a blog influenced by personal opinion. There is a reason I decided to post this tutorial. So, if you are a regular reader, you must know about the Apple iPhone 6 I got from work. It's been around 6 months now and it's my daily driver now. (Sold my Lumia 1520, looking forward to the next gen flagships). So, I got bored with the default ringtone and decided to put up my own custom ringtone. As you know, In Android, it's as simple as long press a audio file and choose "Set as ringtone option". Oh, wait. Google …

Android pissing over Apple in Google maps for REAL! :D

HA! YES! It is true. In Google Maps, Recently discovered is an image of our beloved Bugdroid, the Android Robot pissing over Apple's logo. Yes! I am not joking. It's rather uncanny that this sits there in both desktop and mobile app for Google maps unnoticed by Google. Well, the tech-giant's rivalry has now reached to a not-so-mature level. If you navigate to the outskirts Rawalpindi, Pakistan, you'll come across an Android logo urinating shamelessly over Apple's logo. The exact coordinates of this curious imagery is N 33°30'52.5", E 73°03'33.2", you can check it out …

Living with the Apple iPhone 6 for 30 days

Jatin K Malik · Apr 8, 2015 · 2 Comments

So those who know me knows that generally I am not much of a fan of Apple, Inc. and it's overpriced products. Last month, I received an Apple's latest and greatest iPhone 6 (Silver,16 GB) from my office to test the framework I am working on. Nevertheless, it's been with me since then. I never thought I will even use it at all and honestly was planning to toss it in my office's cupboard and only use for work. But then, things changed. I decided to bring it home and set it up with my newly created apple account to try out some common apps and games. Initially the experience …
