How do playing free games make money?

 

Ah, my naïve little game-guzzling friend: Free games make money by selling you. And the fact that you would ask how they do it just points to how well it's working for them. While you cheerfully crush candy or farm ... villes? ... picture yourself as a little hamster in the wheel of the gaming company. They're using your hard work and dedication to keep the lights on. And they're doing it in a few different ways.

If you were to ask most people how internet money is made on free sites or games, you'd probably get a confident answer: ads. But when most people are prodded more ("How, exactly, does having a free player look at ads make money?"), the answer might get a little more vague ("Uh, you click them sometimes? I think?"). While some games do use the click model (where advertisers pay the gaming company if someone clicks the ad), there are other games — like "Flappy Bird" — that use a pay-per-view model of ad revenue— meaning that every time someone sees the ad, the company makes doug.

That's all fine and good for games that have a ton of people playing them. Are ads useful for games that aren't as wildly popular? Well, ads can also make money by disappearing. Many games offer to show you an ad-free experience if you're willing to pay a little bit of cash, and that's great for the gaming company. Obviously, it means that you've paid for the game, but it also means that you might be willing to consider some "micro-transactions" within it.

Micro-transactions are the little things you might pay for within a game to either enhance your experience or make you a better, more competitive player. So let's say you're playing a free game where the object is to make a really good mixed drink. (On the Internet, it's always 5 o'clock somewhere.) You might be able to access a free bevy of inexpensive well liquors, but pay $3 and now you're able to use top-shelf brands or exotic juices to flavor your drinks. Naturally, this makes you a player who is going to get better — say by moving up to higher levels. Which means you're sticking around for longer.

But maybe you're not doing any of that. After all, only 3 to 5 percent of free-game players pay for anything in games like "FARMVILLE" . What's the point of all these other players?

Let's go back to the idea that the game companies are selling you — the free-game player — for money. By having a huge collection of free players, the game guarantees that those who are paying will have an eager, decent pool of people to play against in multi player settings. And while I might never agree to fork over money for a game, if my buddy — who willingly buys into an ad-free experience or micro-transactions — tells me to download the game, I'll be a lot more willing to if it's free. That brings in more players, increases ad impressions and helps get the word out.

New tech aims to save Windows

Can Windows be saved? There are a lot of technology companies that certainly hope so.

Going strictly by the numbers Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system is a success. The company claims that the new operating system has been installed on 75 million systems since its launch in July. For many existing customers, the upgrade is free and people were anxious to escape the asphyxiating tentacles of the disastrous Window 8 and 8.1 software (never mind the incessant pop-ups Microsoft pushed out to users enticing them to switch).

Furthermore, Windows 10 is significant improvement over the previous version. The disorganized and disorienting tile interface has been revamped, allowing multiple points of access, and Cortana, the company's answer to Siri, has extended her reach making it easier to find facts and files.

But the device upon which Microsoft built its empire — the vaunted IBM compatible PC — continues its decline. Sales are dropping faster than the price of oil. Market researchers at Gartner and IDC estimate that PC shipments so far this year have dropped 9.5 and 11.8 percent, respectively. The writing has been on the tablet for some time as consumers became enthralled by smartphones and the iPad, abandoning any allegiance to a particular operating system in favor of disposable apps.


However, there may be signs of growth ahead for Windows, according to researchers at GfK. At the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin this week, the firm said it expects Windows 10 to drive demand for PCs in the coming year. Specifically, it notes that the tablet boom is over with sales of Android and Apple tablets declining by 9 percent worldwide in the first half of this year.

The decline in tablet sales isn't surprising since there's been little improvement in the devices for several years, giving shoppers little reason to upgrade. Conversely, there's been a steady improvement in so-called convertibles, laptop computers with screens that can be flipped or detached to double as tablets. Gfk expects these convertibles — which almost exclusively run Windows 10 — will be the magic ticket to get consumers to buy a PC rather than a new tablet.

At IFA, Toshiba introduced the Satellite Click 10, for example, with a detachable tablet screen for a little over $500. The Windows 10 system will be available next month. Nearly every PC maker from Asus to Lenovo has similar offerings.

At the same show, Acer CEO Jason Chen referred to Windows 10 as “the most important initiative for the industry this year.” The company then announced a slew of new PCs ranging from a modular Bento box-sized system to a project known as Continuum, which uses a smartphone connected to a keyboard and monitor as the central system. Critical to that approach is the success not of Windows 10 but rather of Windows Mobile 10. However, Microsoft's share of the smartphone market is minuscule right now — under 3 percent worldwide, according to IDC — and that's not likely to grow any time soon.

The main problem, however, for Windows 10 may be that the PC, the original Internet-connected device, isn't really part of the growing Internet of Things. Desktop and laptop computers are no longer the hub of our digital world.

That position has been taken by smaller, more nimble computers — smartphones.

Set up a new Web cam or a garage door opener or even a new connected car system, and you'll be using a smartphone, not a PC.

We may scoff at how disjointed and disconcerting the idea of connecting every gadget in your life to the Web is, but it's coming and it's coming in a big way. The Internet of things will be a $1 trillion market by 2020, according to Samsung, which plans to make every single one of its devices Web-ready by then. Samsung is introducing a disc-shaped device that will fit under a mattress, monitoring the sleeper's heart rate, breathing, and movement.

The folks at Microsoft have belatedly realized they're headed for shoals of devices with processors of their own connected to the Internet. The question is, can they turn the Windows supertanker before it runs aground? Maybe this is the year we'll find out.

A 20-Year-Old Takes Political Parties in Delhi to Court

NEW DELHI:  She's all of 20, and she's proving to be someone political parties in Delhi cannot ignore. Ruby Malik, a third-year law student, has gone to court alleging that for elections at Delhi University, parties are crossing all sorts of lines.

Delhi University's students union has spring-boarded several important political careers. The election for this year are to be held in four days.  For the first time, the Aam Aadmi Party is part of the contest- its youth wing the Chhatra Yuva Sangharsh Samiti (CYSS) will take on the BJP's student wing Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad  or ABVP  and the Congress' National Students Union of India (NSUI).

"All you have to do is to see the huge hoardings around campus of the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, and you know the amount that they are spending," said Ms Malik on NDTV's show 'Agenda'.  She claims she has no connection with any political party or interest in a political career.  Her sole motive, she says, is ensuring that everyone has a level playing field, and that election guidelines are followed.

Rules endorsed by the Supreme Court say that a candidate for a college election mustn't spend more than Rs. 5,000 and that public property cannot be used to display publicity and slogans. Vehicle rallies are banned along with printed posters - only handmade ones are permissible.  

A trip to any campus shows how all these guidelines are being blatantly ignored. "The expenditure can be anything upto lakhs," said one person distributing printed pamphlets at Bhagat Singh College, "Last year, they offered movie tickets to voters and trips to Fun Food Village (an amusement park)-all of that costs a lot of money," he said.

When NDTV contacted the Delhi Police, a spokesperson confirmed that all parties are guilty. "They are buying ad spaces at bus stands to promote the theory that they are getting 46% votes," said the police officer of AAP's role, adding, "Even ABVP and NSUI are defacing property."

Mahindra Mojo Launching in October, 2015

It's been four years when we first saw the Mahindra Mojo at the 2012 Delhi Auto Expo, but the bike hasn't still seen the light of the day. It was first rumoured to be launched in 2013, but it kept getting delayed as Mahindra Two Wheelers's first innings didn't go well. Though things started changing after the re-launch of the Centuro that has been currently drawing profits for the Mahindra 2 Wheelers.

Also the bike's design has gone through a lot of changes, and the production-version looks quite different from the concept. Now that Mahindra two-wheeler dealers have started taking pre-orders for the bike, we expect it to be launched in October, 2015.

Talking about its design, the front-fascia of the Mojo looks more practical with revised twin head-lamps. Also the vehicle features a digital speedometer with analogue tachometre with a shift light and low-fuel warning indicators. Other features include radial brakes, Pirelli Sport Demon tyres and USD forks.

Power for the Mahindra Mojo will come from a liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder that churns out a maximum power output of 27bhp and 25Nm. This engine will come mated to a 6-speed transmission.

Samsung Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7: First Impressions

Samsung Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7: First Impressions

Samsung, as most of us guessed already, introduced its new J Series in India with the launch of Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7 on Thursday. The smartphones, which have been available in china since last month, fit into the mid-range segment based on their low prices, but offer impressive specifications and features. While the smaller samsung galaxy J5 is priced at Rs. 11,999, its larger sibling, the Galaxy J7, will set you back by Rs. 14,999.

Both are Flipkart exclusives for now and are available to pre-order, but will ship on July 24. The two new phones are also positioned by Samsung as affordable devices for gamers as they can potentially deliver smooth online gaming experiences using 4G LTE connectivity. Notably however, the models launched do not support TDD-LTE Band 40 (2300MHz) for 4G LTE in India, and only the FDD-LTE Band 3 (1800MHz) that has yet to see a rollout in the country

Update: While the specifications initially provided by Samsung India did not mention support for 2300MHz TDD-LTE Band 40, Samsung has confirmed to NDTV Gadgets that the Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7 smartphones do indeed support this band as well as 1800MHz FDD-LTE Band 3. Airtel uses Band 40 for its 4G services in India right now, and other operators are lining up to launch 4G services using Band 3.

With the introduction of its Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7, Samsung has in a way replied to some of the heavy hitters in the market which are dominating the mid-range today. The two phones go up against the xiomi Mi4, motorola moto G (Gen 2), Sony xperia 4G and many others. Looking at the specifications, the Galaxy J handsets seem to have raised the bar.

The two new Samsung smartphones both run Android 5.1.1 but have a few differences. The Samsung Galaxy J5 features a 5-inch Super Amoled HD display; a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 410 SoC; 1.5GB of RAM; 8GB of built-in storage; a 13-megapixel rear autofocus camera; a 5-megapixel front camera, and a 2,600mAh battery. As for the Samsung galaxy j7, it features a 5.5-inch screen; 16GB of inbuilt storage, a 1.5GHz octa-core Exynos 7580 SoC, and a 3,000mAh battery. Both handsets' inbuilt storage can be expanded via microSD card (up to 128GB).

It is worth noting that the China versions of the two Galaxy J smartphones differ slightly from those launched in India. The China versions have TFT screens instead of Super Amoled. The Galaxy J5 features 16GB of inbuilt storage instead of 8GB and the Galaxy J7 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 rather than the Exynos 7580

Looking at the prices, the use of HD (720x1280-pixel) resolution screens was pretty much expected from Samsung. Both, the 5-inch screen of the Galaxy J5 and the 5.5-inch screen of the Galaxy J7 looked saturated and more vibrant than the screens of smartphones from other brands in the same segment. While the processors in the two models are different, the end users will probably not perceive any difference between the two while using the phones. However, theoretically, the 64-bit octa-core Exynos 7580 in the Galaxy J7 should edge out the 64-bit quad-core Snapdragon 410 in the Galaxy J5.

As for storage, the Galaxy J5 on display at the event reported around 4.6GB free out of 8GB, and the Galaxy J7 showed roughly 11.5GB of 16GB free for users. MicroSD cards of up to 128GB can be used, so customers might not need to consider the Galaxy J5's lower amount of inbuilt storage a limitation. The main differences between the two models are the larger display and the slightly better battery life of the Galaxy J7.

The cameras of both phones impressed us. The 13-megapixel rear camera with f/1.9 aperture seemed to work well in our limited time at the launch event. The camera app opens within a second of double-tapping the home button. Menus and options don't clutter up the screen when capturing images, but are easily accessible with a couple of taps. While the Galaxy J5 offers seven modes, namely Auto, Pro, Panorama, Continuous Shot, Beauty Face, Sound & Shot, and Sports; the Galaxy J7 comes with one additional mode: HDR. Switching to the front-facing camera, the handsets show another set of modes including a Wide-Selfie Shot. There are also front-facing flashes on both phones. Only the Continuous Mode and Pro mode seemed to perform poorly. Continuous mode didn't actually capture images as fast as expected, and the Pro mode (manual mode) had fewer options than some other phones in this price range commonly offer. Nonetheless, the cameras overall seemed to be one of the new Galaxy J devices' best features

In our short time with the Galaxy J5 and Galaxy J7, we were not able to test their battery life. However, both should give a decent amount of life as they don't have any power-hungry features such as motion sensors and high-resolution screens. All said and done, the duo might prove to be serious competitors in their respective price brackets when it comes to camera quality. The Galaxy J5 is snappy, runs the latest version of Android, has expandable storage, supports 4G, and features a decent battery - all the things users care about, for under Rs. 12,000. For Rs. 3,000 more, you can get a larger display, better processor, and better battery. Stay tuned for in-depth reviews of both smartphones, coming up soon.

Honda CBR 650F expected to launch in July: Locally assembled CBR 650F to be priced in India at INR 8 lakhs

Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India (HMSI) recently announced its decision to launch locally assembled CBR 650F Sports bikes in the country in July. This decision acts in favour to the ongoing ‘Make-In-India’ campaign and could help Honda to use competitive pricing strategy. But sadly that is not the case. According to reports Honda will be launching the CBR 650F in India for a premium price of INR 8 lakh (ex-showroom).

First introduced in 2014 Delhi Auto Expo, the CBR 650F Sports bike has been creating a lot of anticipation among the masses. After several speculated launch dates HMSI President and CEO, Keita Muramatsu finally confirmed that the 650F is going to be launched in India in July 2015. "We are planning to introduce CBR650F sometime in July. It will be completely assembled in our plant. It is part of the Make in India concept promoted by the government," he said in a statement.

Though the bikes will enter the Indian shores via CKD (completely knocked down) units, localisation levels on the motorcycle would only be around 5% initially, hence the premium price.

In terms of looks the 650F upholds those basic traits of the CBR family. Similar to its younger siblings the CBR 650F carries an aggressive stance. The overall design looks muscular and complete. The ergonomics of the upholstery looks perfect both for racing endeavours and touring.

Powering this beast is a 649cc liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder engine that produces 90 PS of peek power and 62 Nm of torque, while the transmission duties are taken care of by a six speed gearbox. It also gets a PGM-FI Programmed automatic enrichment circuit with 32mm throttle bodies, 41 mm fork front suspension, single shock rear suspension and a 17-litre fuel tank. Breaking duties are carried out by dual 320mm discs front brake and rear brakes with Single-caliper 240mm disc.

Moto E now available at reduced price of Rs 5,999 on Flipkart

Motorola Mobility has given a fresh vigor to the affordable price segment in India by slashing the price of its much popular Moto E smartphone. The Motorola Moto E which was earlier priced at Rs.6,999 is now up for grabs via online retailer Flipkart at a reduced price of Rs.5,999.

A Rs.1,000 reduction in the budget segment is a very significant one at that, and is expected to heat up the market yet again, courtesy Motorola. The Moto E, a very popular device in this segment in India is a hot favorite for buyers and the price reduction is undoubtedly going to make it even better.

Notably, the Moto E was the first device from Motorola when the company made a re-entry in India. Launched in May last year, the device has achieved considerable fan following from buyers as well as critics for its well to-do features at such an aggressive pricing. The most important feature that we've grown to love about the device is perhaps its amazing battery life.

Interestingly, the price cut also hints at something even more important. It indicates that Motorola may be looking to introduce the second generation of the Moto E very soon. A price cut may be directed towards increasing sales and selling out as many units as possible before the next iteration hits retail shelves.

The current generation of the Moto E features a 4.3-inch qHD display with a 960A-540 pixels resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass protective covering. It is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor coupled with 1GB of RAM. It comes with 4GB of internal storage.

The dual-SIM device runs Android 4.4 KitKat out-of-the-box with a Lollipop update coming soon. It sports a 5MP rear camera and decks in a 1,980mAh battery.

OnePlus One to go on sale invite-free globally every Tuesday

Chinese tech start-up OnePlus has announced that its much popular 'One' handset will be available for global users sans the invite mode every Tuesday on a weekly basis. Meanwhile, the invite method of purchase will continue on the remaining six days of the week.

It must be noted that the OnePlus One has garnered quite a reputation for itself and is one of the more powerful devices in the market at its price bracket. The invite-only method of sale has been a mixed bag for buyers; therefore an invite-free day to grab the device is surely going to boost sales further.

According to OnePlus, the move is directed towards making the handset reach into the hands of as many people as possible. The company has accepted that its invite-based sales is not particularly what buyers like and most of them complain that the handset is just too difficult to buy.

The move is OnePlus's growing effort to make the device easier to purchase.

"Every Tuesday, we will open up sales for 24 hours, starting at 8 am London time (midnight in Los Angeles; 4 pm in Hong Kong). The OnePlus One will be available without an invite in both 16GB Silk White and 64GB Sandstone Black." quotes OnePlus on its official blog.  

Those who buy the smartphone will continue to receive invites to share with others, even on Tuesdays.

Notably, the countries that can avail OnePlus's invite-free Tuesdays include: United States, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, France, Italy, Finland, Belgium, Austria, Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Portugal.

Meanwhile, for its customers in India, the company has announced that the One smartphone will be up for grabs invite-free on February 10 starting at 10AM IST. This is however a limited period offer and will last until stocks last. There is no word if we will see this continue next Tuesday or any other day in future, for that matter.

OnePlus's timing needs attention here. The company has kept the invite-free mode of purchase on the same day that the Xiaomi Mi4 16GB variant goes up for sale via Flipkart.

Android 5.1 may have just made an unexpected debut

Android 5.1 has made its first official appearance, though somewhat out of the blue.

The update to Android 5.0 Lollipop is now available on Android One devices, according to the Android One website. Although Google hasn't officially confirmed 5.1's availability, the site specifically touts the latest update with the tagline: "Introducing Android One. Fast and responsive smartphones running the latest version of Android, Lollipop 5.1."

The page promotes a few improvements in the latest version, including up to two times better performance, longer battery life and new settings that can conserve your data usage.

The mention on the Android One page follows a report that the update to Lollipop has been seen on Android One devices shipping in Indonesia, blog site Android Pit said on Wednesday. Sources told Android Pit that Android 5.1 was due out the end of February. So the update appears to be ahead of schedule.

Released last November, Android 5.0 Lollipop ran into technical issues on certain devices. Google had to fix some glitches in the new OS running on Nexus devices, prompting it to release Android 5.0.1 and Android 5.0.2. Android 5.1 appears to add or resolve several features, according to Android Pit. Perhaps the biggest change is the return of silent mode, which stifles any sounds and vibrations from the device. But the change log picked up by Android Pit points to a variety of other tweaks

• Silent mode added after missing on Android 5.0
• General improvements in system stability
• Improved RAM management
• Fixes for sudden app closures
• Improved battery management
• Excessive consumption of network devices when used Wi-Fi fixed
• Issues with wireless connections fixed
• Problems with Okay Google function solved
• Notifications problems solved
• Some sound problems experience by certain devices fixed
• Other improvements and changes
• Changes in the Material Design color palette (after users complaints, possibly for a higher version though)

Micromax beats samsung in smartphone arena

Micromax Informatics Ltd beat Samsung Electronics Co. to become India’s largest smartphone maker in the fourth quarter of 2014, technology research firm Canalys.com Inc. said on Wednesday.

This comes two quarters after an August 2014 report by Counterpoint Research that said Micromax had beaten Samsung to become the largest handset vendor in India in the second quarter of 2014, capturing 16.6% of the market as against Samsung’s 14.4%.

Micromax, the third largest smartphone vendor in the world, is the first domestic vendor to take the top spot in the Indian smartphone market.

In the three months ended December, Micromax had 22% share of the total smartphone market in India, ahead of Samsung’s 20%, the report said.

“This incredible performance is partly due to Micromax’s continuing appeal to mobile phone users upgrading to smartphones,” the report said. “Its flagship line of products has also very effectively targeted the Rs.9,000 to Rs.12,000 segment, with products such as the Canvas Nitro and Canvas Hue.”

Canalys’ recently published estimates show that in Q4 2014 in India, 23% of shipments were of devices priced under Rs.6,000, while 41% were of devices in the Rs.6,000-12,000 bracket.

“Canalys believes catering to local market preferences will become increasingly important. Micromax has been quicker than its competitors to improve the appeal of devices, for example, by including a wide variety of local languages on its Unite phones,” said Canalys analyst Rushabh Doshi.

Overall, the Indian smartphone market grew by 90% in
the December quarter as compare to a year ago period,
with 21.6 million units shipped in the quarter.

The top four players in Q4 2014 in India by units
shipped included Micromax, Samsung, Karbonn
Mobiles India Pvt. Ltd and Lava International Ltd .

Samsung will soon unveil the next version of its flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S6, which might be released in two distinct versions at the Moblie World Congress on March 2 to 4 in Barcelona, including a regular model and an “Edge” version. 
Samsung has in the past, been successful at keeping designs of their upcoming smartphones under wraps, and even though leaked images of earlier versions of the Galaxy series have floated around the Internet, very few have been credible. However, this time, Droid-life reportedly spotted images of the Samsung Galaxy S6 on accessories maker Spigen's Amazon sales page.

 Samsung had said that it plans to launch an “innovative premium handset” this year, featuring a “special function.” The company did not explain what that actually means during its earnings call on January 29, though Samsung’s statements may fall in line with speculation detailing the Galaxy S Edge model, which should basically be a special, innovative version of the Galaxy S6.
Looking at the picture, which cannot be confirmed for its authenticity, the only design change from Galaxy S5 visible so far is the position of camera and flash.
