At 8.5 in the #DCvMI match, there was caught behind appeal for Rohit off Kuldeep. How good was Rohit to walk slightly and then hold back making DC waste a review that was off the pads. But even better is @KumarDofficial for not giving out in the first place. #IPL2026

@anishmoonka That’s silly. Not once have I encountered this problem. Even if it’s turned on by an update or error, the most natural thing after taking a photo is to SEE the photo. If Live Photo is on, just switch it off and your settings remain. you are mixing it with burst shots. Fakery

Every photo you take on your iPhone is quietly recording a 3-second video in the background. You never turned this on. Apple ships every single iPhone with it enabled, and they have a $109 billion reason to keep it that way. It's called Live Photos. Been around since 2015. When you tap the shutter, your phone grabs 1.5 seconds of video before your finger hits the button and 1.5 seconds after. Then it stitches that clip to your picture and saves both. The storage cost is where it gets interesting. A regular iPhone photo is about 2–5 MB. How-To Geek tested Live Photos on an iPhone 13 and found each one runs around 13 MB total, roughly 5 MB for the picture and 8 MB for the video riding shotgun. So every photo with Live turned on takes 2.5x the space. Apple gives you 5 GB of free iCloud storage. For comparison, Google gives you 15 GB. At 13 MB per shot, you burn through Apple's free 5 GB in about 385 photos. Photutorial's 2024 data puts the average American at 20 photos a day. That's three weeks before Apple's free storage runs dry and the little "iCloud Full" notification starts nagging you to upgrade. $0.99 a month for 50 GB. $2.99 for 200 GB. $9.99 for 2 TB. And it keeps coming back. I've seen this complaint all over Apple's own support forums and across tech sites. People disable Live Photos. Software update rolls in. It switches itself back on. Apple has never explained this. Zoom out to the business side and the math clicks. Apple's services business (iCloud, App Store, Apple Music, Apple TV, all of it lumped together) pulled in $109.2 billion in 2025, up 14% from the year before. December 2025 quarter alone crossed $30 billion in services revenue for the first time in company history. iCloud+ and Apple One subscriptions account for about 26% of that pie, which works out to roughly $28 billion a year in charges that auto-renew every month on a credit card most people forgot they entered. I'll be fair. Live Photos do have some genuinely useful tricks. You can scroll through the frames and pick the one where nobody blinked. Long Exposure mode blurs water in rivers and waterfalls without needing a tripod. And you can turn any Live Photo into a short looping animation. But honestly, for the vast majority of people, Live Photos is just a storage tax they never signed up for. It sits there on every iPhone, quietly eating space. And sooner or later, the $0.99 upgrade prompt does the rest.

Dear Apple, Live Photos still make no sense.

based on conditions, is a luxury they can afford. And we have not even touched Quinton and Markande yet. Impressive.

Too many top order batsmen and in the current lineup, Hardik comes in too late. Even Jacks may be wasted lower down but both these can go as finishers. But I love the bowling setup. With 6 frontline bowlers in the starting XI and a portential to add 1 more spinner / pacer

@mipaltan has a super team for #IPL2026 but there is a problem of plenty that may affect their line-up. Probable XI: Rohit, Rickleton, Verma, Surya, Jacks, Dhir, Hardik, Santner, Bumrah, Bosch and Chahar. The impact players are Thakur/Ashwani/Boult and Ghazanfar.

Just because #T20WorldCup does not feel as special as 83, 07, 11 and 24 we feel immense pride to dominate white ball cricket since 2023. We have stream rolled everything and with tremendous heart. ♥️ Now can someone raise their hands for the tests and make us great again?

What are the 3 information points that you would want while buying a home - but don't get/don't get accurately/don't get easily. Will try to change that based on feedback.

Ok. Final, final Mount Rushmore. Shastri comes in as coach. Rajiv Shukla comes in because there can't be anything without him around.

@ClaytonMurzello @bookmyshow kept telling the semis tickets are opening soon and till last night. Then suddenly in the morning, tickets were sold out. Quite tragic how genuine fans are kept away from buying tickets

Clive Lloyd is so right when he says in his playing days, the real fans used to come to the ground. Now, they are replaced by famous names and corporate boxes. The game has got bigger but has true spectator turn-out? Btw, why so many empty seats at Wankhede?

@rushikesh_agre_ It’s unfortunate that we celebrate an AQI of 80. Clearly, weather patterns is not a plan, its happenstance.

Mumbai Rains@rushikesh_agre_·
Mumbai's AQI Swing Explained 🍃 The recent improvement in air quality is driven by strengthening westerlies over the Arabian Sea. These winds carry moisture & give air ventilation straight from the sea which disperses the accumulated pollutants. Once the sea breeze circulation fully activates, AQI levels can drop rapidly over the city, often falling below 100, and at times even under 50 or 30 in cleaner pockets! This phase is likely to persist till the first week of March, before the next seasonal shift alters the pattern again. Expect stronger sunshine, clearer skies, and a relatively pleasant weekend ahead ☀️🌊

@BoriaMajumdar @RevSportzGlobal That’s a silly logic when it has been proven time and again that he is not a 3-4 overs bowler. What was worse? Seeing Dube crumble under pressure. By extension, we should also have tried Tilak, Abhishek

Surya did the correct thing by trying Dube. It is about chess. You don’t play move by move. He has to try Dube to see if he can give 1-2 overs against the West Indies. Bumrah will always bowl 4. Game was won. Surya had to try Dube. Did so. No issues. @RevSportzGlobal #IndvZim

No one has read conditions better than South Africa at this World Cup. Night game vs India, Batted first on black soil. Afternoon game today,Won the toss and chose to chase on red soil,backing the bounce. That is solid game awareness, and elite game IQ.

@SaiyamiKher The sixth bowling option will hurt India as much as not playing Kuldeep since Varun has a sudden dip in form. Who does he replace? On flat tracks, come in place of Dube. If in the semis, he will be an asset under immense pressure from opposition batsmen.

It was the perfect sequence. SA won. The outside result went India’s way, then India handled their own business. All the batters clicked! Postive, strong SR and much needed confidence.. If there’s one box that needs to be clicked before the knockout against West Indies, it’s that extra bowling cushion. Also Very impressed with Brian Bennett! #INDvsZIM

Despite the big win, I still did not see a dominating team in full swing - did not get many wickets - Varun went for plenty in his second game - sixth bowling option is non existent - Bumrah was off - catches dropped The WI match will be very difficult. #INDvsZIM #T20WC2026

Very sad that Maroof Raza is no more. An army officer who came across as a diplomat on television shows was watched intensely more by viewers from across the border. His vast knowledge was evident in his presentations, lectures & writings. Prayers for the departed soul.

..his first ball was a three-quarter-pace loosener which nevertheless rapped Boycott on the gloves and dropped just short of the slips. Each succeeding ball after that was quicker than the previous one. The second beat Boycott outside the off stump, and the third cut back and struck him on the inside of his right thigh. The fourth and fifth both hurried Boycott, but he just about managed to keep them out.... Then came the final ball, the coup de grace, delivered at a fearsome pace, which was pitched up and sent his off stump cartwheeling almost 20 yards as he desperately and belatedly brought his bat down. After a momentary silence, the crowd erupted. "Boycott looked round," observed Keating.... his mouth gaped and he tottered as if he'd seen the Devil himself. Then slowly he walked away, erect and brave and beaten." He glanced towards the England dressing-room and saw Chris Old "with his mouth wide open ... he too had the look of a man who had seen a monster". My favourite fast bowler, Micheal Holding, is seventy two today.
