  Elon Musk and his company SpaceX, also known as “The Modern-Day Iron Man,” have been working on an interconnected satellite network in low-Earth orbit so people can have an internet connection.   On Monday, the company announced that its beta test will be available to the people who have expressed interest in signing up for the service. The product they call Starlink is priced at $99 per month and users will incur a $499 cost upfront for the Starlink Kit. Starlink Kit includes a $499 user terminal, mounting tripod, and WI-FI router.

They have to send a few 1000 more satellites and try to cover the whole pl...

  On Monday,  #Facebook  launches cloud  #gaming  services in the app and website but FB wants you to play on the app rather than go to the website for 10to 20 times. But the problem is that this  #cloudgaming  service is not for the  #appleiphone  and safari browser. The reason is FB said it couldn't offer the service for the iPhone because of  #Apple 's "arbitrary" policies on applications that act like app stores. These games you find on FB Gaming you can also download on mobile but here you can connect with your friends.

  This is a fight between  #Google  and  #Oracle , over some  #API  code. They are fighting over this for a very long time since 2010 (Decade). Yesterday the  #supremecourt  heard a case over a multibillion $ copyright battle between oracle and google which could generate a serious impact across the tech industry. Oracle said that  #Google   #Andriod  smartphones infringed on copyright from the  #JAVA  API platform which  #Oracle  acquired in 2010.  #Oracle  also said that Google steals over 11000 lines of JAVA API code. What is an  #API ? "An application program interface is a prewritten code that allows apps, programs, and websites to communicate with each other.
