New Delhi: In early January 2026, a thick cover of winter fog was visible over much of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. It covered areas north of India to Bangladesh. The cold wave caused poor visibility, cold weather, and hard conditions to millions of people who reside in the fertile plains. According to NASA satellite images, a thick layer of fog was observed over the Ganges Delta on January 6. The haze was caused by cool weather conditions, low winds, and thick humidity at the surface, forming the type of haze that is prevalent in the depths of winter. Fog grips the Delta The Terra satellite that is equipped with a remote sensing instrument, the MODIS , was detecting low-lying clouds over the delta and surrounding landmasses. The cold wave was still getting worse, as meteorological agencies in India and Bangladesh had earlier issued warnings of moderate to very dense fog that day. This kind of fog is referred to as radiation fog and is developed when the ground loses heat throughout the...
New Delhi: Google is taking Gmail to a new phase by integrating its Gemini AI assistant that will make email management quicker, smarter and easier.

New Delhi: The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has intensified its scrutiny on the Elon Musk -owned social media platform X on the purported creation and distribution of obscene and harmful material using its AI chatbot, Grok. The ministry had previously dispatched a notice to X indicating that the ministry was seriously concerned with the inability to moderate AI-generated content, particularly the content that infringes on the dignity, privacy, and consent of women. While X has since provided a response to the government, the officials have dubbed it as inadequate. Based on reports , the response was vague on tangible measures implemented and fails to provide specific prevention or technical protection measures. The government have warned that generic policy assurances will not be enough, but they have required written evidence of adherence to the Indian IT laws. Government seeks concrete proof from X According to PTI, MeitY has requested X to provide...
New Delhi: Elon Musk has won the first case in his legal battle against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, with a US judge saying that several of the claims in the lawsuit must be resolved by a jury. The suit focuses on the claims that OpenAI has forsaken its initial mission as a nonprofit organisation and changed to a profit-making venture. During a hearing in Oakland, California, US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers declared that there was sufficient evidence in question to proceed to trial instead of dismissing it out of the case. The ruling leaves alive Musk 's claims and prepares a hotly anticipated jury trial in March, as competition in the generative AI market continues to grow. Judge clears path for jury trial According to Judge Gonzalez Rogers, there was ‘plenty of evidence’ that the leadership of OpenAI had promised to operate following a nonprofit form. Since such promises are now being challenged, she determined that the decision that OpenAI broke its original...
New Delhi: WhatsApp is stepping towards a significant change in the way users interact over the platform. The messaging application is working on a user-based communication platform where individuals are able to locate, chat and call others without having to provide their mobile numbers.

WhatsApp is undertaking profound transformation in its internal systems to ensure this, and that is why the process has not been quick. Username-based chats are coming to WhatsApp WhatsApp is currently attempting to integrate usernames into the...

New Delhi: Smartphone users in India are noticing an added feature to their calling screens. New names are now coming with unknown numbers. This has changed a lot of people into wondering how their phones have discovered an intuition of who is calling even when the number is not in their contacts. This change can be attributed to the slow implementation of Calling Name Presentation (CNAP), which is a new telecom facility being implemented at the orders of the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) and the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). The feature will enhance the recognition of callers and address the increasing concerns on spam calls, robocalls and phone-based fraud. What has changed on your phone? So far the incoming calls from an unknown phone number would only display the number of the caller. In CNAP, the name of the caller who has registered a name can also be viewed. This simplifies the process of making the decision to either pick up or not to pick up a call,...
