Don't want to create a Google+ profile for your new Gmail account? Now you don't have to

Image
After introducing mandatory signups for  Google+  with every new Gmail account back in 2012, Google has eased its stance, and will now let users choose whether they want to create a Google+ profile when they sign up for a new email address.  The change, which went live early this month, gives users the ability to opt out of creating a Google+ profile. According to a Google spokesperson, who confirmed the change to  WordStream : As the screenshot above indicates, you would only need to create a Google+ profile if you're looking to use the social features of any of Google's services, like leaving a comment on YouTube, for instance. But if you're just creating the email address to register for websites you're not comfortable giving out your  actual  email, the new update means one less thing to deal with. What do you guys think of the change?

No, the report was not penned by Captain Obvious.  As far as the iPhone 6 is concerned, the survey shows consumers split down the middle when it comes to deciding between the 4.7 inch Apple iPhone 6 and the 5.5 inch Apple iPhone 6 Plus. Also, 50% of those asked said that they will purchase the 64GB version of whichever model they buy. 27% of those who said that they will buy an Apple iPhone 6 or Apple iPhone 6 Plus are Android users who are making a switch.

Apple Might Screw Up the India Launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Again ! The new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are expected to do well in India, especially considering the launch date which falls just shy of major festivals of our country. Oct 17th (the official launch of both big iPhones in India) is also just 4 days prior to the mega festival of “Dhanteras” which celebrates gold and anything that represents gold. A few days post that is the biggest festival of India, Diwali/Deepavali, which again brings about the act of gifting, shopping and spending money like there is no tomorrow. And finally “Bhai Duj” which again ensures that people are buying gifts for their respective brothers and sisters. In 2013, Apple launched the gold color iPhone 5s, which was sold out within hours and remained out of stock for many a days. It is assumed that there  was a high demand of the gold color due to the excitement around the time of the above stated festivals. However, the way ...
