India is set to handover the presidency of the G20 nations to Brazil in December, after one year of holding it. During India's G20 presidency , it worked with global financial institutions on formulating laws to govern the crypto sector on an international level. Prior to the weekend, Indian finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman provided some insights into the status of this crypto roadmap adoption by G20 nations. While Sitharaman said that the G20 roadmap on crypto has been adopted, more clarity will be given by Brazil in the coming months. “When we move to the Brazilian presidency, given the momentum that the crypto assets issue has picked up in G20, if there is anything emerging, we will know at that time. At the moment, the content of the roadmap is what is before us to act on,” Sitharaman was quoted by Forbes as saying in a recent press briefing.

Despite appearing in several leaks, very little is known about the upcoming Oppo X7 Pro, a camera-centric flagship smartphone that is set to replace the Oppo Find X6 Pro.

Sam Altman Returns as OpenAI CEO; Bret Taylor to Chair ChatGPT Board

Sam Altman 's return as OpenAI's chief executive will strengthen his grip on the startup and may leave the ChatGPT creator with fewer checks on his power as the company introduces technology that could upend industries, corporate governance experts and analysts said. OpenAI is bringing Altman back just days after his ouster as well as installing a revamped board that could bring sharper scrutiny to the startup at the heart of the AI boom, but strong support from investors including Microsoft may give Altman more leeway to commercialize the technology.  "Sam's return may put an end to the turmoil on the surface, but there may continue to be deep governance issues," said Mak Yuen Teen, director of the centre for investor protection at the National University of Singapore Business School. "Altman seems awfully powerful and it is unclear that any board would be able to oversee him. The danger is the board becomes a rubber stamp," he said. OpenAI's...

India vs Australia World Cup 2023 Finals is scheduled to take place today on November 19 at the Narendra Modi Stadium (Motera Stadium) in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. It will be a deja vu for all cricket fans after 20 long years as the two teams last played a World Cup Finals in 2003, where Australia defeated team India to become the world champions. This time, the tables might turn around as the host country has been consistently in a good form, winning all the 10 matches played so far.  India suffered a minute shock when Hardik Pandya was declared injured and unfit for the World Cup matches. However, the replacements have been able to live up to expectations from them. The two shining players of the team are Virat Kohli and Mohammed Shami, breaking records in this tournament. Skipper Rohit Kohli has been leading India with an impressive run rate at the beginning of each match, while Shreyas Iyer has also proved his talent in the last few matches.

Samsung, Qualcomm Oppose Live TV Broadcasts on Smartphones in India

Samsung  and Qualcomm are among those opposing India's choice of technology to bring live TV broadcasts on smartphones , arguing the required hardware changes will push up a device's cost by $30 (nearly Rs. 2,500), according to letters reviewed by Reuters. India is considering a policy to mandate equipping smartphones with hardware to receive live TV signals without the need for cellular networks. It has proposed use of so-called ATSC 3.0 technology popular in North America that allows precise geo-locating of TV signals and provides high picture quality. Companies however say their existing smartphones in India are not equipped to work with ATSC 3.0, and any efforts to add that compatibility will raise cost of each device by $30 as more components need to be added. Some fear their existing manufacturing plans can be hurt. In a joint letter to India's communication ministry, Samsung, Qualcomm , and telecom gear makers Ericsson and Nokia said adding dir...
