Vodafone: Company Says It Is Preparing for 'Potential' Initial Public Offering in India

The telecommunications giant said revenue in India has increased 11.2 percent to Rs 22,902 crore in the first half of the fiscal year, and its customer base has grown 8.2 percent to over 188 million.

When I recently reviewed the Vodafone Smart First 6, I thought it was the last in a new range of smartphones from Vodafone. However, Vodafone has released yet another budget smartphone, this time named the Smart Speed 6, and costing £50. We will see how it compares with Vodafone's other budget offerings. Vodafone have released several devices in recent months, so it may be worth clarifying the full contingent of Vodafone products - as there are now 5 devices all bearing the 'Smart' family name. 

Google

Google: Company Says It Will End Chrome Support for 5 Operating Systems by April 2016
Google announced Tuesday that it plans to end Chrome support for Windows XP, Windows Vista, OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, OS X 10.7 Lion and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion next year due to security risks.

"Google rightly explained that 'such older platforms are missing critical security updates,' 'have a greater potential to be infected by viruses and malware,' and 'are no longer actively supported by Microsoft and Apple.' If you want to receive the latest Chrome versions and features, the company thus advises you to move to a newer operating system."
