The world&rsquo;s largest solar telescope--the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST)--has captured the highest-resolution image of the sun that show features as small as 30km across the celestial body for the first time ever.&nbsp;The cell-like structures--each about the size of Texas--convect masses of hot, excited gas, or plasma from the inside of the sun to its surface. The hot solar material rises in the bright centers, cools off and then sinks below the surface in dark lanes. The image begins what scientists hope will be a nearly 50-year study of the Earth's star.

Japanese camera maker Fujifilm has launched its new X100V compact camera in India, with powerful specs on board. It houses a 26.1-megapixel X-Trans 4 CMOS sensor, coupled with a second X-Processor 4, that not only improves street photography performance, but makes it more capable of shooting video as well. It can shoot 11fps with continuous AF, and brings over face and eye detection technology from the X-T3 and X-Pro3 models. The X100V houses a new 23mm f/2.0 fixed lens, that is still compatible with the company's older conversion lenses. The camera can record 4K at up to 30fps, and 1080p at up to 120fps for slow-mo footage. There's also a USB-C 3.1 port, and a claimed battery life of 350 shots with the EVF in use. While the company is yet to reveal the Indian prices, the X100V costs $1,400 in the US.

American audio technology company Dolby is launching Atmos Music in India after its official global launch in late 2019. The new 3D audio format allows engineers to create tracks with up to 128 separate channels and thereby, manipulate where sounds in a recording seem to be coming from. Renowned music director and composer AR Rahman&rsquo;s upcoming film &lsquo;99 Songs' will have the first album made for Dolby Atmos Music. However, it&rsquo;s worth noting that the new audio format isn't commercially available for consumers in India just yet since no streaming service supports it.

At ₹21,990 Rupees, the Sony &nbsp;WI-1000XM2 headphones aren't cheap and that high price could put some buyers off, but if your a fan of&nbsp;n neckband&nbsp;headphones, then it doesn't get any better than this.&nbsp;

Performance wise, they offer impressive audio reproduction and&nbsp;deliver a well balanced&nbsp;sound across multiple&nbsp;genres. Although,&nbsp;their out-of-the-box sound profile may not be to everyone's liking. Luckily, that's where the excellent Sony Headphone connect app comes into play as it &nbsp;gives you access to a graphic EQ, so you can customize the sound to better suit your preferences.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Battery life is decent for a headphone of this style, with 10 hours per charge. A recharge takes a snappy 1.5 hours, and just&nbsp;10 minutes of charge gets you 80 minutes worth&nbsp; of listening time.

The headphones come with a convenient&nbsp;carrying pouch which includes six different tip options to help you find the best possible fit, which is great.&nbsp;The earbuds themselves provide a good amount of&nbsp; isolation, but the addition of active noise cancelling is what&nbsp;makes them perfect for traveling. The ANC feature does a fine job of shutting out the world as it&rsquo;s got the same HD noise cancellation QN1 processor found on the renowned Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones.&nbsp;The innovative Adaptive Sound Control mode is also available over here. It lets the headphones detect if you&rsquo;re sitting, walking, running, or commuting, and they adjust your noise-canceling needs accordingly.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

With the popularity of&nbsp;true wireless earbuds, wireless neckband headphones just aren't as appealing as they once use to be. But it seems Sony isn't too bothered by this fact as the company recently launched the WI-1000XM2&nbsp;&nbsp;Wireless Noise Cancellation Headphones in India at ₹21,990.&nbsp;Are they&nbsp;bliss for the ears or just an expensive pair of headphones? Let's find out!
Neckband designs can be polarizing and are not for everyone,&nbsp;but the WI-1000XM2&nbsp; easily have the edge over competition.&nbsp;Not only are they lightweight, but the flexible silicon design&nbsp;makes them perfect for all day wearing.&nbsp; You also get a 3.5mm AUX port if you&nbsp;prefer to go wired and a three button controller&nbsp;which didn't respond to inputs all that well.&nbsp;

A US court granted Apple a temporary restraining order against a man who has allegedly been stalking CEO Tim Cook since September 2019. According to court filings, Rakesh &ldquo;Rocky&rdquo; Sharma, a 41-year-old San Francisco man, twice broke into Cook&rsquo;s house in Silicon Valley, left &ldquo;disturbing&rdquo; voicemails and also tagged the Apple executive in multiple tweets containing "sexualised" and "inappropriate" photos. The order expires on March 3, when a hearing is scheduled to take place.

Meanwhile, the update also brings the new 8v8 Team Deathmatch mode on seven different battlefields, some gameplay improvements and changes to grenades and molotov cocktails.

The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) is the latest critic of Google&rsquo;s acquisition of fitness trackers company Fitbit in a $2.1 billion deal in November last year. The privacy watchdog warned that the accumulation of sensitive personal data by a major tech company could &ldquo;entail a high level of risk to privacy and data protection.&rdquo; Meanwhile, Google said that Fitibit users have command over their data, and that it would never sell personal information or use them for its ads.

The personal details of more than 10.6 million users who stayed at MGM Resorts hotels in Las Vegas last summer have been published on a hacking forum, according to reports. Online publication ZDNet&nbsp;which first confirmed the hack said, the leaked files included details like full names, home addresses, phone numbers, emails, and dates of birth.

It packs a single 8-megapixel camera sensor at the back along with an autofocus lens and a 3,450 mAh battery. The LG W10 Alpha costs ₹9,999 and while the company hasn&rsquo;t announced its availability yet, it&rsquo;s likely meant for the offline market.

According to Reuters, Facebook is facing a lawsuit from the US Internal Revenue Service over claims that the social media giant owes more than $9 billion in unpaid taxes. The entire case is based around Facebook handing out its intellectual property to a subsidiary in Ireland in 2010 to cut its overall tax bill. And while Facebook Ireland paid its US counterpart more than $14 billion from 2010 to 2016, IRS argues the valuation of the IP was too low and should be taxed accordingly.&nbsp;

Google parent company Alphabet is ending its patronage of Makani, a project that aimed to generate power using wind turbines attached to kites. Last year, the team successfully put its 20kW demonstrator kite off the ground and expanded this into a model capable of generating up to 600kW. However, Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai is reportedly under pressure to reduce Alphabet&rsquo;s losses from its &ldquo;Other Bets&rdquo; segment and the severance appears to be part of a wider cost-cutting at the company.

A report from Cisco has predicted that the number of people that use the Internet in India will rise to over 907 million by the year 2023. Accounting for 64% of the country's population, Cisco said this number will be driven by digital literacy, mobile penetration, and the spread of Internet connectivity to remote areas of the country. The report projects that 38% of all networked devices in India will be smartphones, while 12% will be connected televisions.
