What are bits? The number of bits in a processor refers to the size of the data types that it handles and the size of its registry. A 64-bit processor is capable of storing 264 computational values, including memory addresses, which means it’s able to access over four billion times as much physical memory than a 32-bit processor! The key difference: 32-bit processors are perfectly capable of handling a limited amount of RAM, and 64-bit processors are capable of utilizing much more. Of course, in order to achieve this, your operating system also needs to be designed to take advantage of the greater access to memory. This Microsoft page runs down memory limitations for multiple versions of Windows.

Phablets, which tried to bridge the gap between a smartphone and tablet, were as expensive as flagship devices once upon a time. Slowly and steadily, at least in India, phablets piqued the interest of buyers and created inroads into the market. This rise prompted manufacturers to shed some features and make their products more budget friendly. Many companies latched on to this opportunity early on, but Sony has joined this bandwagon only recently. Sony's top-end phablet, the Xperia Z Ultra, now has a cheaper alternative in the form of the Xperia T2 Ultra. It is smaller, sleeker, accepts two SIMs, and has stripped down features. More importantly, this six-inch budget phablet faces the mammoth task of proving itself against the competition in a fairly crowded price band. Our review will help us find out if it manages that feat. Look and Feel Sony's design philosophy for smartphones underwent a change when the company parted ways with Ericsson. The primary ref...

Google on Monday announced an update for its Google Glass eyewear that will bring SMS notifications support to iPhone, and introducing a new and improved Calendar Glassware. Both the features will be rolling-out to Glass users 'later this week.' Making the  announcement  on the Google Glass Google+ page, the Mountain View giant said it will be increasing the frequency of updates now that it has upgraded Glass firmware to Android 4.4 KitKat. The first new feature brings SMS notifications to iPhone users of Google Glass. After configuring the iPhone's Bluetooth settings to turn on 'Show Notifications' for the paired eyewear, users will receive heads-up display notifications of SMS messages on Google Glass. While users will be able to read messages, they will not be able to respond to them directly on Glass. Google says the reason for this is due to 'some limitations with iOS'. Notably, Android users can already receive SMS notifications on their...

Facebook is removing the messaging feature from its mobile app, forcing users to download its standalone Messenger app if they want to chat with their Facebook friends, as first reported by TechCrunch. Starting today, people in certain European countries are seeing notifications that, over the next few weeks, they will need to install Messenger to continue sending and receiving Facebook messages on their smartphones. A Facebook spokesperson tells TNW the company has found that people get replies 20 percent faster on Messenger than on Facebook, and that new features are being continuously added to the Messenger app. For example, just last month, Facebook Messenger for iOS received an update that let users create group chats and “pin” groups to get easier access to them. The Facebook spokesperson says: We have built a fast and reliable messaging experience through Messenger and now it makes sense for us to focus all our energy and resources on t...

32-bit versus 64-bit As the number of bits increases there are two important benefits. More bits means that data can be processed in larger chunks which also means more accurately. More bits means our system can point to or address a larger number of locations in physical memory. 32-bit systems were once desired because they could address (point to) 4 Gigabytes (GB) of memory in one go. Some modern applications require more than 4 GB of memory to complete their tasks so 64-bit systems are now becoming more attractive because they can potentially address up to 4 billion times that many locations. Since 1995, when Windows 95 was introduced with support for 32-bit applications, most of the software and operating system code has been 32-bit compatible. Here is the problem, while most of the software available today is 32-bit, the processors we buy are almost all 64-bit. So how long will the transition from 32-bit to 64-bit systems take? The main issue is that your compute...
