In India 40,000 Redmi 1s of Xiaomi's are out of stock in just 4.2 secs


After the success of its Mi 3, Xiaomi is all set to bring yet another uber-affordable smartphone with excellent specs in India. The Redmi 1s will be up for grabs today, following the ‘Xiaomi Tuesdays’ trend. The company, known to reveal information via its social channels, has revealed that 40,000 units of the device will be selling the Redmi 1s’ first Flipkart sale. It is almost four times the number of Mi 3 units put up for sale in the first batch.

Redmi 1s is a budget phone priced at Rs 5,999, and the company is betting big on its success. Looking at its specs and the price point, we wouldn’t be surprised if the company manages to achieve yet another record sale in seconds. 

Following the similar annoying strategy seen during Mi3 flash sale, users will have to register to participate in the sale. Registration doesn’t guarantee a unit and it only means you are eligible to buy one. The company claims to have already received over 1,00,000 registrations, but the window is still open. No wonder, the company is accused of creating more demand than it can supply.


The competition in the budget mobile segment in India. Despite the affordable price tag, the Redmi 1s comes with high-end specifications such a jaw-dropping quad-core 1.6GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8228 processor, 1GB RAM and an Adreno 305 GPU.

The Redmi 1S sports a 4.7-inch 720p IPS display. It comes with 16GB of onboard storage and a microSD card slot that further expands it up to 64GB. It is fuelled by a 2000mAh battery and runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with Xiaomi’s MIUI layer on top. There’s an 8MP rear shooter and a 1.6MP front camera.
It is the best replacement of Moto E.

Heartbleed web security bug : how to secure yourself??

The Heartbleed Bug is a serious vulnerability in the popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library. This weakness allows stealing the information protected, under normal conditions, by the SSL/TLS encryption used to secure the Internet. SSL/TLS provides communication security and privacy over the Internet for applications such as web, email, instant messaging (IM) and some virtual private networks (VPNs). The Heartbleed bug allows anyone on the Internet to read the memory of the systems protected by the vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL software. This compromises the secret keys used to identify the service providers and to encrypt the traffic, the names and passwords of the users and the actual content. This allows attackers to eavesdrop on communications, steal data directly from the services and users and to impersonate services and users. image source: http://www.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/password-cracking-shutterstock.jpg What leaks in practice?
