Apple Should Unlock San Bernardino iPhone: Bill Gates

A day after some victims of theSan Bernardino shooting said that they would file a legal brief in support of the U.S. Government's attempt to force Apple Inc. to unlock the encrypted iPhone owned by one of the shooters, technology giant Microsoft came out in support of the victims and asked Apple Inc. to unlock the iPhone.

Parth Patel – An IITian behind birth of Carpooling idea in Mumbai

About Parth Patel and the reason behind this idea? Hi, I'm Parth Patel, co-founder of Zupp - an intra-city carpooling mobile app for daily office commute. In 2011, after graduating from IIT Delhi, I joined EY in Mumbai. Since I was accustomed to a hassle-free campus life, the menace of daily commute in Mumbai caught me unawares. At first, my good landlord allowed me to use his car for daily office commute, as his kids were all settled abroad and the car was just catching dust. I drove to office for first couple of days, but found it harder each day to find a parking spot. Eventually I was forced to shun the idea of taking my own car and instead started hailing taxis. I traveled daily from my home in Bandra West to the EY office in Dadar West. I had to wait for at least 15 mins before ...

A scientist, inventor and entrepreneur from India. But there is more to know about the inventor of EMAIL.
