 If you happen to buy or get your hands on the Apple Macbook Pro M1 or Macbook Air M1 based on the Apple M1 silicon chip there are a few things that might be helpful if you need to connect to your corporate VPN network using Pulse Secure application. In my case, I did have my initial doubts if the pulse secure app will work successfully or not. My doubt turned out to be true and it did not work correctly out of the box. If you download the Intel-based Pulse Secure version 9.1.9  application from Pulse secure website or from your company website, the application will not be able to successfully connect to your corporate network. It will time out with a network error!! Googled out a bit & to my luck found this community post from Pulse Secure community website  https://community.pulsesecure.net/t5/Pulse-Connect-Secure/PSAL-failed-to-Launch-Java-Applet-MacOS-Catalina-10-15-4/m-p/45177/highlight/true#M28690   It turned out that you will need to install Oracle Java 25...

I know you folks were curious to know about my opinion about the new Apple Airpods Max which is priced insanely at Rs 59,900/- !!  So I made this video reviewing 2 other cheapest Bluetooth headphones from pretty popular Indian brands LEAF and boAt so that you can make a judgement in terms of the value which you can get at such dirt-cheap prices in stark comparison with the Apple product positioning and the functional aspects of these headphones. The headphones which I have reviewed are very good for the price which you pay. The only major drawback of the LEAF bass 2 headphones which I found was their noise isolation/seal issue where external world can hear the music which plays in your ears during practical usage. This is going to be surely a problem if you are using it in a quiet place with other people around you. Other than this for casual usage at home, these are pretty well-performing headphones for the price which they are being sold in the over the ears headphones category. ...

In this video, let’s talk about the pros and cons of the iPhone 12 & my experience of migrating from the Android platform to the apple’s iOS platform. Timeline  Comparison with Product(Red) of iPhone SE at 2:16 Pros at 2:55 Migration from Android experience at 5:31 Cons at 7:50 I have been an Android phone user all my life ever since the glory of the Symbian Nokia era was a thing of the past. But ofcourse I have been using the iPad mini 2 ever since it was launched and became a fan of the iOS platform ever since. However I have never been a fan of the iPhone as such. My first Android device was the Samsung Galaxy S3 which was a lovely phone with some great user experience provided by Samsung. Always felt that the screen size provided by Apple iPhone during those times to be too small to my liking. With iPhone 6 I believe things changed for the iPhone in terms of the screen size. And when iPhone X was launched it made me sit up and take notice. However I had moved on to use seve...
