Elon Musk ‘hearts’ Bajirao Mastani, shares GIF of Ranveer Singh, video of Deepika Padukone


Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk appears to be having a Bajirao Mastani phase. Musk on Friday shared a link to the song Deewani Mastani from the 2015 film, which he accompanied with a GIF of Ranveer Singh from the song Malhari.

“Bajirao Mastani,” Musk wrote simply, and added a couple of yellow hearts. Bajirao Mastani is the second of actors Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone’s collaborations with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The newlyweds have acted in three films by Bhansali, the latest being 2018’s Padmaavat.



Deewani Mastani is picturised on Deepika and tells the story of the lead characters’ growing romance. The song was sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Ganesh Chandanshive, written by Siddharth-Garima and composed by Bhansali. Malhari,meanwhile, is a war anthem, picturised on Ranveer. It was sung by Vishal Dadlani, written by Prashant Ingole and also composed by Bhansali. Bajirao Mastani was a box office success, going on to gross over Rs 350 crore worldwide.

Musk, the founder of SpaceX and Tesla, is worth $22 billion. He recently unveiled plans for an underground transport system to combat traffic in Los Angeles. “For me it was a eureka moment,” he told a room full of reporters. “I was like, ‘This thing is going to damn well work.”

“It’s much more like an underground highway than it is a subway,” he said. “It’s not like you’re going through a whole series of stops. Nope, the main arteries will be going super fast, and it’s only when you want to get off the loop system that you slow down.”

Exynos Galaxy S10 visits GeekBench, still behind the iPhone XS in single-core test

The Samsung Galaxy S10 has been spotted on GeekBench and the numbers are in. This time, it's the Exynos 9820 variant for South Korea (SM-G973N), and there are notable differences with the previously seen results from the S10+  in Snapdragon 855 trim . The single-core result, in particular, is far ahead of any other chip in the Android world - the current Kirin 980 (around the 3400s) and Snapdragon 845 (ballpark is in 2400s) are no match for the next-gen Exynos, and early Snapdragon 855 figures are much lower too (3400-3550 depending on who you ask). In fact, the older Exynos 9810 gets closest, posting single core results upwards of 3600 and into the high 3700s under the right conditions. Even so, the iPhone XS remains out of reach.

Bata to pay ₹9,000 fine for charging ₹3 for a paper bag

The Chandigarh Consumer Commission recently ordered Bata India Ltd to pay  ₹ 9,000 in fine for charging   ₹ 3 from a customer for a paper bag to carry the shoebox. Legal experts say the order is legally valid across the country and that stores cannot charge consumers additional charges for the bag if the product is purchased from the same store.

The forum slammed Bata for charging an additional amount for the paper bag. The forum ordered that a customer cannot be compelled to pay for...

Google Will Pay Apple $9 Billion In 2018, And $12 Billion In 2019 As Default Search In Safari

Google might be the king of search right now, but it's not an easy task staying at the top. Aside from being efficient enough to convince users to come to them, Google also occasionally has to make sacrifices. Sometimes, that's a $9 billion sacrifice to maintain its monopoly. According to a Business Insider report, courtesy of Goldman Sachs analyst Rod Hall, Google will pay Apple approximately Rs 65,000 crore in 2018 in order to remain the Safari browser's default search engine. That number will also climb to $12 billion in 2019 (approximately Rs 87,000 crore). If that seems like an unreasonable amount to pay for such intangible benefits, think again. After all, Safari is the default browser on everything from the iPhone, to the iPad and Mac. A lot of those users actually prefer Apple's browser to other options, meaning Google would in turn be generating a really high amount of ad revenue from searches. According to Goldman Sachs, the fee Google pays ends up be...
